One of the most unique organiza tions In the State It the Bad Debt Collection Agency, wiifch moved here from Statejuville this week and estab lished headquarters on the second floor of the 4,Cs Buikling. It was organized and incorporated at States vllle some months ago and during its stay there was the most talked-ubout institution of that coming town. "We purified the business "atmosphere of the city," said the manager yester day to an Observer' man, discussing the work Jof the company. We col lected hundreds and hundreds of ac counts, dated from the civil, warup to tne present time. "The only, re qulrement for a debt to receive our attention Is that It must be , "unde niably honest and the debtor able to pay it There 1s no attempt maJe and no desire to oppress the poor. Th man who lives better than his cred Itor is the special mark at which we aim." The agency comes to Chirlotta hacked by ' the business people of fitatesville almost to a man. - One of; the chief elements. In Its success was the helping hand constantly, ex tended, by The Stttesvllle Landmark In numerous editorials. So highly did these please the business people that a lold-headed cane ; was pre sented ' Editor R, R . Clark ' several weeks ago in recognition of his ef forts. (, The methods of the agency are unique an.1 effective.

Some few take their medicine, hut the major ity pay up, rather than have their defection published to ,the worlJ. So far not a suit has been lodged against the company, and there have been no personal encounters of note, thouga there have been newspaper contro versies not a few. The company is manned by nervy -young men who are determined to make & success of their business and from all acccounts they are doing good. Mr. F. A. Hampton la president, Mr. Henry M.

The city's sense cf things real and rational was shocked yesterday after noon when Judge Ferguson sentenced Colonel LeRoy Davidson, a descend ant of the signers and a well-known broker of Charlotte, to the county Jail for a period of 30 days upon convic tion In four cases for selling and keeping on hand too much whiskey. Owing to the prominence' of the de fendant little thought was entertain ed other than that he would be dis missed with the payment of a bill of costs and some small fine, but Judge Ferguson concluded that the defend ant's standing rather militated against him in the awarding of justice. Later In the day, however, : the court agreed to dismiss, Colonel Da vidson, provided he would pay the costs, a fine of f 50 and put up a bond to keep the faith from court to court the ibond required being, f 500. This action was taken because of the fact that Judge Ferguson was presented a paper in the nature of both a petition and an affidavit from ' the physicians of the city that Colonel Davidson was suffering from an Incurable disease, and that his life would be jeopardized in JalL In the face of this presenta tion, the court relented and knocked off the jail sentence, substituting the fine and the bond. - Colonel Maxwell made an earnest speech In behalf of his client just before and after the court gave sentence, and later labored diligently to save Colonel Davidson from jail Charlotte people are generally, ac quainted with the facts in this case. It will be recalled, however, that the defendant several months ago, was , found In possession of a quantity oi llauors whiskeys, wine and other drinkables at his place of business In the Norman Building. There was en tirely too much to allow him an es cape from the law, which forbids the possession of more than 5 12 gal lons. He was bound, over by Re corder Smith, after waiving examina tion under his own bond. No ibllnd tiger case has attractea more Interest than this In Charlotte. The nerve of the officers In taking In to custody signer was menuonea possibly above any other feature of the noted incident ' CAR TRAFFIC TIED TJP.

Llllycrdp. a well-known tsasi Traae oireei ua. oyster and game dealer, tied up the Elizabeth, Piedmont and Myers street car lines for a period of 10 minutes yesterday morning. In aome unaccountable way, the chicken escaped from its cage in front of Mr. Lillycrop's place of business about 10 o'clock. Possessed of long and tapering wings, It .'ifet flew ac.-H the street and perched on top of Hand's drug store. Then It sailed across to the old city hall building, visiting almost every store-roof on that side block en route. Tired per haps of Its freedom, In due Ume It starte'd down In order to return to Its feeding place. An outbound Elizabeth car happened to be passing Just as the pullet descended, and as fate willed, it settled on It The conductor and niotorman. not carlrg to haul any.

None could clear the crossing until the Elizabeth car had passed. Finally, in despera tion, one of tho men had to cllrnb up on the roof of the car and kick the chicken off. It had become dazed and would do nothing. The crowd tf people, which had gathered to find out the trouble, scattered with a shout Such another performance has seldom been witnessed In tho city.

Bolt Agrees to. Pay Taxes For Fiscal Year Ending June. 1st, 07, and Coanty Commissioners Accept His Overture Jtailier Than Risk the Cncertalnty of Litigation for Taxes For Other Tears. ; The board of county commissioners unanimously agreed yesterday morn ing to accept without further investi gation, the Werture made by; GoL W. E. Holt Monday,. to pay his taxes on his personal property for the fiscal year ending "June 1st, 107, and to end the controversy which ha been In progress! tor some time. This ac tion was taken after the commission ers decided that It would be next to Impossible to stecure any witnesses who could swear as to the residence of Colonel Holt for the past five years, the period which covered his alleged indebtedness to the city and county for taxes. No witnesses . were called in, and nothing more done since the ad journment Monday but to take, the vote "on the matter as it originally stood. j Colonel Holt will pay taxes for the past fiscal year on property aggregating $558,000. He , came to this agreement for the reason, that he did not want to enter1 Into a suit He stated that these taxeu would have heen paid sooner had he been able to convince himself and his attorneys that he had lived in Mecklenburg county during the year 1907 more than in Davidson county. In which he had been paying taxes for the past 20 years. No action was taken y the board on the other taxpayer about 50 in all, who owe back taxes. They will likely be dealt with somehow at the next meeting of the commissioners. Their debts individually are small but large In the aggregate. The assessors declare that Colonel Holt made one of the squarest returns of any man In the city or county, evi dencing the fact that he had tried to evade nothing either In the past or at the present. SMALL BOYS AND CHRISTMAS. Action of Aldermen in Ivettlna; Down Uie Bars is Commended by t'liar- lotte Branch of Association of Young Americans Why It Was Done. The news in yesterday's Observer that the pop-:rttcks or exploding canes will be tolerated by the city fathers from J o'clock, on the night of De cember 24th, until 12 o'clock, on the night of December 26th, was Joyful news to the Charlotte small boy. This is the only form of dissipation per mitted in Charlotte now at the festive season and it would he a dull time in deed without these nerve-racking horse-frightening sticks. The alder men were careful to arrange It, how ever, so that there will be nothing In this line to render the Jot of the out-of-town Christmas shopper anything other than beatific. The pop-popping and the boom-booming will not start until most of these have prepared themselves to play the role of Santa Claus and have departed for their homesw When the question came tip Mon day night at the gathering of the city councllmen, the youthful spirits seem ed to be in the majority. "I'm for the boys every time," declared Col, T. Leroy Kirk Patrick. "Let them have their fun. We'll soon he dead anyhow and then we'll he dead a long time." Alderman James W. Wadsworth shar ed thew views and wanted the bars thrown down on the 23d. 24th, 25th, 2 8th and probably the 27th. Alder man Joe Klouse, however, maintained and this view was sustained, that It was not the small boy so much as the drunken man who 4s to be guarded against. Last year, he said, it was' very difficult for merchants to get their goods delivered, . owing to the nervousness of the horses. And so was it compromised.
