A witness in the Mark Mc Corkle case was asked by Mr. Self: "How wide are the side walks of the city of Hickory?" "About so wide" answered the witness, holding her hands about three feet apart. It was con sidered a good joke on Hickory, and everybody laughed so loud that the judge had to rap for order. The people from Maiden this week were full of praise for the innovation introduced by Rev. Glenn at tbe recent revival meet ing in the Methodist church at that place cf having the ladies remove their hats durinjr the services, it enabled every Doav to see the preacher without po much moving and wriggling in the seats. Ladies take better care of their hats than the men and do not like to stick them un der the seats on the floor, and may find it inconvenient to take care of them durincr the nreach- mg, but it would be a good Fash ion to introduce in. all assem- blages. Sentenced to Kiss His Wife. , Charlotte Chronicle. Iu Brooklyn, a day or two ago, a man was held before a magis trate's court on a charge of ill treat ing his wife. The magistrate, at ter hearing tbe evidence passed this peculiar judgment, "l sc ience you to- take wife and baby to Coney Island one dny in each week, to kisa yoor wife once at irast each day, and to pay her 6 each week. I suggest that you take her a bunch of flowers once in a while.

This, at flist blush, would be taken as a piece of cheip humor, bat the indsment was eiveu in all - r seriousness aod was so recorded on the court docket. Barring the mother-in law joke, it must be ad mitted that there is a good deal of common sense in it.' CHOLERA INFANTUM.

Greensboro Correspondence Raleigh News and Observer. Wbile on tbe subject of politics it may not be amiss to state that whether Hon. W. H. Bower has authorized a denial ot his political chaDge of heart or not he will not deny that three weeks ago he was in Greensboro by appointment with Congressman Blackburn and other .Republicans, aud had a long conference on political matters He may not be responsible for it, but after the conference this cor: respondent was authorized to state that "Horfc Bower and Lawyer Crauor, of Wilkeeboro, had left the Democratic party." The intelligence was not used from here because -the correspond ent was nuable to see Mr. Bower before he left Greensboro, aud did not choose to connect his name in any eucu important announce ment. In the same conversation it was stated that President Roose velt was continually asking about some reputable Democrat of ex perience and ability for assistant district attorney sinee Rollins and niacKourn couia not agree on. a Republican who suited both, and that Mr. Bower was the comprimise man for Assistant District Attor ney Price's place. So it my be that Mr. Bower will not join the Repub lican ranks and that his denial of having left tbe Democratic party can be explained in this way. Mr. lower s selection would unques tionably prove a popular one. as be is recognized not only as an able lawyer but a fine man. If As sistant District Attorney Price has to go, and he hasn't gone ytt by a long sight, he could have no more able successor thn Mr. Bower, who, like Price, is equally popular among botn Democrats and Be- nnhli..an. lr. ia aUo ai,i h,- T r. r Titr-.u u it Lawyer Green of Wilkesboro, will oe given tue insiae '-rack m cbanc- ing for tbe nomination for district solicitor next rear vpr m,wh Harshaw aud that Cranor will even contest this with him vin Wilkes.
