THAT BOX OT ORANGES New Record Wads In the Spwd With 1 Which Substance to Reduced From Former State of Quality to Anotncr.

Silently there began to creep from every nooa ana device of the snop a isoorer wno w received the e-lad message of the gift Editors, printers, "devils." et all, were made conscious I tne raci mai ine donor - had placed no restrictions around the disposition pf the box, and that they, were, accordingly, as wel- ' come as any other man In the build- ' Ing. ' ' ... This 'spirit 'of liberality prevailed and to t la directly due the startling quickness with which the oranges were snatched from the box and r ; duced to spongy things that lay strewn all over the floor.' Time was not takn - to peel the luscious fruit; they weVe sacked.. And it was but In the, twink ling of an eye, as K were, that the box ; was robbed of its delicious contents ' and lay with a vacuum and corpse-like ." in th big vault, . -fi ' -' CHARLOTTE BRANCH LEADS. v Southern Warerooms Excel AD Otb,.

The Southern , warerooms, - he said, had ' not ' .only had the fcest and most satisfac ' lory year's business In the history of , the office, but had hi addition led ev ery other branch ot the .Stieff con- tern.

" Uncle Sam la doing a heavy business this week all over the . country, not only in attending to tne business of Americans, but in transferring the Christmas spirit across the seas, For eigners of various nationalities have been registering packages this week for friends in their, native climes. This Business js always tne nrst to .begin on account of 'the fact , that it takes longer to get packages serosa the wa lets than It does to send them to any part of the United States. The .do mestic rush Is nevertheless beginning. ; Mr. Oldham's Record. J Mr. I. M. Oldham, the genial local gent of the New Tork Life Insur ance Company, has received nottnea loa to the effect that he has made a splendid record during the cast thre month fn the way of soliciting numness for mi well-known insur snce company. In th list of th ' agents who sent in the most business from all parts of the United State. Mr. Oldham is numbered aa the 19th in September, nth In October and . 31st In December, r. , .ii'Ts'4 Nets ; Stockholders. . ' By the incorporation of the" Fore man-Miller Company, the charter for which was Issued yesterday, Me i-rs T. C Wilson, and 3. T. Cobb be come stockholders in this institution. The authorised capital stock ' of th .concern is - fixed at 1100,009. with a raw-in .; subscription of f 15,000. The other fwo stockholders are Messrs. K. C. Miller, of this cfty, and W.

Th greater part of the teacher wjs In lavor a coming to Charlotte, had It not been for the fact that the Durham people in order to get the meeting, had a special arrangement made by whlco special rates to the Jamestown Exposition were given them from Dur ham, and this resulted in the decision being made in favor of that town, though as a matter of fact no meeting was ever held. It Is believed ' that those who subscribed - last year and .did not have to pay up, owing to the fact that the teacher did not come, will, when requested, make good the amounts this year. The Teachers' As sembly would bring to Charlotte in the neighborhood of 1.000 teachers from all parts of the State. There is, some desultory talk of making the meeting an inter-State affair, inviting ful Ideas In marksmanship.' and this if done, would swell the throng' to 1,600. Mr. R. D. w.; Connor, of Ral elgh, is State secretary. A. t The New Gold Eagles. . ' "" .' Although nobody has "fumed down or refused to receive ny of the new $10 gold pieces which are beginning to circulate In Charlotte, nobody has teen found as yet wno admires the design in conception or appearance, The eagle would not "be recognised by (his own mother, and many there are who, are . irreverent enough : to terni the symbol of America's great ness a plain old North Carolina bus- sard. : The i Indian's ; head on the back, too, is overdrawn, the resem blance) to . a porcupine oeing most marked , But still, as aforesaid, they are passing 'as legal tender, all right. all right.'. 1 -.-: ,!

They found three gallons of whiskey In her house. ... "I ain't done nothin'. believe they says they found some llcker In my house that someoody put there," was Frances coy defense, Evidently she is hut one of the scores of in jured Innocents who never do any thing wrong, but; are : punished for no cause whatever. In the same class belongs also Will Davis, . colored, ar rested yesterday, for gambling. ' ' . I?ath o Mjt.

I - J " - Collections Fairly Good. 'I consider that collections are be ing made remarkably well," said a prominent business man yesterday. The fact that the farmers are hold- Ins their cotton militates to a con siderable' extent against prompt col lections, bnt otherwise the. people are paying well. ' I do t not "blame the farmers for sticking to their cotton and I am one man iwho win not push them lor the money theyowe us when the price of the staple re mains as It Is. I believe, in letting them get all they can for It.' . ' Mr. CabanlHs Retains Counsel. , It is understood' that Messrs. TU lett ft Outhrie and Clarkson Duis have been retained by Mr. C. B.
