Paul Gllmore, the well-known actor, who will be seen In Charlotte during the coming season In the military play entitled "The Boys of Company B," is now in France studying the va rious types of the French soldiers. He writes enthusiastically o fthe univer sal devotion of the French to the memory of Napoleon. "Everywhere In France." says Mr. Gllmore, "Is the martial law of Napoleon tn the air, 'much more ao In fart than that of the Iron Duke in England. The Napoleonic code in French law Is no more in evi dence than, nor so much as, the old military rule of the Little Corpora). One realises here more than anywhere else how Inexhaustible were the ener gy and spirit of the Corslcsn. In the French there is a full measure of the passion of worship for what Is great nd the contempt of what la little. Theyhave what the' Germans call a fury of admiration' for what they Mke and make no bones of their exhibition of regard for what and whom they love. They express themselves with a frankness, a gusto that is charming. I often think what a fine lot of fellows some of them would he for The Boys f Company B." Rankin-Jones, at . Greensboro. jl.

Judge Ward Announces That lase Will Not Bo Disposed or huh mi urday Curious Crowd Disappointed. Special to The Observer. Anh.vllle. Aus. 10. Joseph Lance, charged with the killing at Buena Vis ta station December 2 Int. 1907. of lit tle Alma Green, and convicted of man slaughter before Judge wara in nu- perlor Court Saturday evening, win not be sentenced until Saturday, August 15 th. This was the announcement made by Judge Ward this morning with the reconvening the court. Judge Ward in taking up the matter asked If all eounael for the defense were In court. There was an affirmative reaponse and the court then stated that unless coun sel had some sood and sufficient rea son to the contrary the case would not be disposed of until Saturday. Aner a moment's conference of counsel no objection to this arrangement was raised and a formal entry was made that hv agreement the passing Of sentence would he deferred. Although no Intimation has been given out by the defense just what motions it purposes making when Lance is called up for sentence it 1 expected that the usual motion for a new trial will be made end with this motion over-ruled notice will be given of appeal- to the Supreme court, tne prisoner was not In court this morn in. It la learned that he is taking his conviction stoically and Is still hopeful of a new trial and ultimate acquit ta . The court room was literally packed this morning by people anxious to wit ness the ending of the interesting trial? Every seat In the court room and in side the bar railing was occupied while large numbers Jammed the walls and about the exits In an effort to see and ear. The crowd of spectators was noticeably disappointed when the court rendered Its decision postponing sentence until Saturday. It is the gen eral opinion among those who heard the major portion of the trial that Judge Ward will give Lance a pretty stiff term. This reason is based pri marily on the action of the court last week in ordering the prisoner, out on bond. Into the custody- of an officer and requiring that Lance remain in Jail at night.
