Mil. SMITH l.XILAINS.

Jo. tfmiUI yeswruay, v- "w ..i. th. i (oiotura Ia rliinn tha lUfr v --Cl imes ot the new city, nor did we as (that a single, Inch of territory be taken In from the Hmlta of the new city aa proviaea in wis new an. touching the limits was embodied in an amendment which we offered to 'the genate committee on counties. cities and towns. In this amendment we asked that the limits of the city be fixed In the bill at two mil-, and the question of taking In any territory beyond that two miles be left to a vote of all the people In the entire city at tho May election. If th vote should be found to be In favor of the larger limits, then the two so-called Vs. north and south, would bourne a part of the city; If tho vote fhnuld be found against the larger limits, then the limits would be fixed at two miles In all directions from Independ ence Square. We felt that the terri tory north and south had been discrim inated against In favor of other terri tory the name distance from Independ ence Square; that we had been ex empted out of the general extension and that any treatment that did not bear equally upon everybody w;m un fair and unjuxt. And, believing that to b true we asked that a vote be had by all the people In order that they might say what was fair and right. We wei" ready to take our cnances In the election and abide by the result. "Our Senator and Representatives refused to allow an election on wheth er or not the territory beyond the te tnlU limit nhruld be taken In. The fnayor and city attorney also oppos ed our amendment and the only rea son for their opposition that I recall as that the election was proposed at the eleventh hour and too late to be embodied In the bill. This objection was without force, for ten days of the session still remained, and the entire work oould have been done In four days. Had Senator Pharr taken his hands off the situation, or even as sumed a neutral position, w. would hare won without difficulty before the Senate committee." with Tin; nix ortDKit.

He Is a clean and charming fellow. He has a marvelous voice and manages It well. He knows something to say, says It and sits down. "Hev. Walt Holcomb has come to stay as long as character counts and manhood makes good on the plat form." Mr. Guy Carlcton Lee said: "Yes, rtev. Walt Holcomb Is worth listen ing to. 1 have never heard an ad dress like his, and, therefore, I count his work original. I have never seen an audience more deeply or more strongly moved than that which lletenod to him, and, therefore, 1 say his work Is powerful, extremely pow erful." The novelist, Ople Read, said: "Rev. Walt Holcomb Is the genial spirit of truth. His voice, manner and thought suggest wholesomeuess. He is human nature refined."

He Takes' the Editor of the Concord , limes to Task. . The Hon. Prof. Jean( Napoleon In gram, globe-trotter, horse doctor and gay Lothario, has Issued the folowlng warm statement, which apeared in the Concord Times of last week: Editor of The Times: "It seems to me that the editor of The Times should take the trouble to ascertain the truth of statements made about county people before re publishing the Impertinence and dia tribes of sensational reporters. I have not been 'cooing" with British damsels, nor have any 'milk white fingers' found their way to my 'au burn 'sideburns.' I have never 'been on the Charlotte Hotel balcony' in all my life with the 'King's pullets,' or with any one else.' " 'lied Buck' should confine his guardianship to his own crimson stub bin, and report whose bunch of digits circulate 'amongst his own sunset bristles. "I have already said In the State papers all there is to say on the labor question and Immigration subject,; and discussed those Industrial prob lems In all their phases before any one else In North Carolina recog nlr.ed their existence. The flies are accessible at Washington. I never thresh over old straw. The national government does not require my ev idence. All its Federal Court and Department of Commerce needs la to digest the Information already given, and to act on the measures of relief therein ' suggested. Until the people and State government get a move on themselves and develop some energy, they deserve labor and other troubles on their heads." The professor did not llke'lf be cause he was not summoned to appear as a witness for or against the Eng lish girls. Denatured Alcohol From Molasses. The following from The Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer will be of Interest to many manufacturers throughout the Carollnas: "Denatured alcohol Is now offered In the New York market as In con stant supply. It Is quoted In half barrels ut 41 1-2 cents per gallon; for less than flvo barrels at 37 cents per gallon; 5 or more barrels 36 cts per gallon, less 2 1-2 per cent, and still cheaper contracts can be made for carload lots. The attention of manufacturers is called to the fact that In using denatured alcohol In ((uantitk-s of 50 gallons or more per month they must have a government permit (i nil applications can be Ob tained nt any custom house. "All this indicates that the good work in the conversion of low grade tnolasses Into alcohol Is now going on and we shall hope that the value of such molasses will gradually ap preciate." Umb't Club Opens IU Doors. The Lamb's Club, a co-operative establishment of young bachelors oc cupying quarters In the Stephens building overlooking Carnegie Court, threw open Its doors Friday at norm. Officers have been elected and arrangements made for operat ing one of tho most desirable and se lect clubs In the city Among the members are Dr. J. P. Matheson and Messrs David Ovens, L.
