Messages received la the city yes terday morning announced the pas sage through the House Tuesday night of tho bill provMln or a new char ter for the city ot Charlotte. It cime ' up in the' Senate yesterday and was uroniDUy referred to tne senate com mlltee on cltiea and towna, of which Mr. H. N. Fbarr. of Mecklenburg, la chairman. A sDeclal session of the committee will be held thla afternoon . at I o'clock for the purpose l near ' Ing the ' arguments pro and con, Messrs. C. W. Johnston and 8. B, 1 Tanner, local mill men and Messrs. D. B. Smith and R. U Durham, at- tornevs. will appear to ask that the section prescribing the new city limits be changed so as to reaa "a iwo-mu 'circle with Independence Square the . centre." Mayor 8. S. MCNincn, air. " E. I Keesler, City Attorney Hugh W, Harris, Aldermen W. 8. Long, B. F. Withers. W. F. Dowd and E. C. Wll- llama and Willis L Henderson and Willis Brown will appear in hnhalf of the bill as It stands, which calls for an elllp ' tlcai boundary, five miles In diameter north and south, and four miles in diameter esst and west - The fight before the committee will be a heated one. The mm men rep resenting the Highland Park Manu ' facturlng Company and their attor ney have been waging a strenuous campaign against the bill, which takes In the mllllon-doillar plant of . that corporation. They did not exert ' themselves to block the bill in the House, knowing that such a step was useless. It was intended that the light would be made in the Sonata. For the past week Messrs. Johnston, Smith and others have been In Ral eigh lobbying against it There are ot a.' tew who are of the opinion taat the contest will be an exceeding ly close one. Senator Pharr Is said to be in favor of the two-mtle bound ary rather than the two and one-half "'boundary, and his position as chalr- man of the committee Is one of al most eommandlng Influence. Should lie take It upon himself to urge the adoption of the bill as it stands, the eosamlttee will certainly act in accord with mis wlshea On the other hand, if he undertakes to oppose Its rati fication, it will assuredly be lost. In nutshell. It is up to Senator Pharr. The result of the meeting this af ternoon will be awaited with unusual Interest, COUNTY IiO YDS TO BE ISSUED.

A well-known physician, who de slrea to protect himself from Inter ference in the practice of his profes sion and who wants to comply with the requirements of ' the Watt acC has hit upon the following, plat which ne heiievee will work satisfactorily; When a patient comes to : him for wniHKoy prescription, tie examines him and determines whether or not he ought to .be doctored, v. If he thinks inai some Whiskey will do him food, he Immediately writes put the order. He does not give over the presort p tion, however,- until he had mads th applicant sign ana have witnessed the rouowing certificate: "I hereby oertl, fy that Or. Blank Is mv famiiv nhv. slclan and I certify that I am ill And sm a none, nae patient of his, that is, a patient in good faith." This , cr tincate must be signed by a reepon si Die party. The doctor takes this cenincate and gives over" the ores criptlon. The slip he files away with ms payer. I find this olan works well. de clared the physician to an Observer reporter yesterday, "i have frequent visitors at my office, a number of wnom want wniSKev. Manv ar reauy in need of it and have no hesl tatlon whatever In signing the cer tincate. Those who are trying to fake the game, refuse and I am rid of them without any words. You see, It off on me, for he will thereby prove goett on ana gets drunk, he can't put it off on me for he will thereby prove himself guilty of perjury. I think tne scneme will work well."
