AN EMBARRASED EDITOR
"Why are all millionaires repre
sented to be either fat or bald
headed?" asks a correspondent.
Really, this places us in rather an
embarrassing position. We haven't
hair on our head and tip the scales
at $250 pounds avoirdupoise.so we J
might be called both tat and bald
headed. "Vour question.however,
is easily answered. To be fata
man must have a clear conscience,
a good - digestion, and an even
temper. Baldness is usually
caused by the gray matter of the
brain " circulating too rapidly and
wearing Off the roots of the hair.
A- man , thus blessed by nature
cannot help but get, rich.

Suffered Fatal Stroke De
ceased Was Long Resident
of Wilmington.
Willimington Messenger, 15th.
The many friends of Mr. Wil
liam Austin Farriss, a prominent
resident and well-known business
man of this city, were shocked
this morning to hear of bis sudden
demise, Mr. Farriss having at
about eight o'clock this morning
suffered his second and fatal stroke
of paralysis. Though his death
was not entirely unexpected, he
having been in ill health for a
long time past it came suddenly,
Mr Farriss having been in appar
ent good health yesterday.
Some months ago Mr Farriss
suffered a stroke of paralysis, and
since his partial recovery hs has
been in ill health and under treat
ment of his physician, who ad
vised that as soon as the condition
of his health would permit it he
should go to Johns Hopkins Hos
pital at Baltimore for treatment by
specialists. Mr. Farriss, however,
never accumulated sufficient
strength to make the trip. A few
days ago indications of a return of
the dreaded trouble were noted;
yet it was not believed the end
was so near.
Mr Farriss was up and about
this morning and when the end
came he was in his room, in his
residence over the store of the
Wilmington Baking Company, on
South Second street, of wbfch he
was manager,
The deceased was 47 years of
age last April and was born in
Warrenton county, this s'tate. He"
lived his earlier years near the
place of his birth, and later was a
resident of Raleigh. After atrip
to the west he returned to Raleigh
and eventually, about 14 years ago
he came to this city and identified
himself in business circles of the
city by opening a bakery. Ever
since his coming to this city he
has been actively engaged in the
baking business, having operated
bakeries and confectionery stores
in various parts of the city.
He leaves to mourn him a wid
ow, Mrs. Lucy J. Farriss, and one
son, Mr W T Farriss of this city.
He is also survived by three
brothers, Mr. Charles S Farriss,
who is in Florida, and Messers. J
J and E H Farriss, of High Point.
Relatives have been communicated
with and arrangements for the in
terment at Henderson, N. C, In
tbe family plot, were made by
telegraph this morning.

tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock

MISS TOMLINSON'S MARRIAGE
Durham, Nov. 18. Announce
ment is made of the approaching
marriage of Miss Lottie Tomlin
son, of this city, and Mr. Cameron
Morrison, of Charlotte. The
event will be solemnized at the
home of the bride's father, Major
S. F. Tomlinson, on Morehead
avenue, at six o'clock in the after
noon of December 6th.
While the event will be of a
very quiet nature and only the
relatives and a few immediate
friends of the couple will be pres
ent still it will be one of the lead
ing social events of the season. The
bride is one of Durham's most
popular and charming society
women. She has made Durham
her home most of her life and is
well tnown in many social circles ' '
in the state outside of the city in
which she makes her home. Mr.
Morrison is a lawyer of decided
ability and a young man of con
siderable prominence. He now
resides in Charlotte but formerly
lived in Rockingham and repre
sented Richmond county in the
state senate in 1901.
The announcement of this ap
proaching marriage will be read
with considerable interest in many
parts of the state.
Miss Tomlinson is a niece of
the late A. J. Tomlinson, of Arch
dale, whose family cow resides in
High Point.
MISS GLENN AS SPONSOR
A special from Washingion
speaking of the new Cruser,
North Carolina, says:
The armored cruiser North Car
olina, which will be one of the
most powerful and swiftest fight
ing ships afloat, is now over twen
ty per cent, completed, and in lit
tle more than a year will be
launched from the plant of the
Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany at New Port News, Va.,
where the keel was laid on March
21st last.
Interest naturally attaches, as
the day for the launching ap
proaches, to the fair young lady
who will christen the man-of-war
that is to bear the proud name of
Carolina. While there is no offi
cial announcement on the subject
it can be stated on authority that
the Governor's daughter, Miss
Rebecca Glenn, will have the
honor of christening the North
Carolina when it takes to the
waters of the Atlantic in Decem
ber one year hence. There have
been instances where the daugh
ters of Senators christened men-of
war, named after States, notably
in the instance of Rhode Island,
but so much friction resulted that
the rule of extending the courtesy
to the daughters of Governors will
hardly be broken again.
