A DISCREDITABLE AFFAIR.

EACH HAD SUSPICION.
A Story of Two Partner, Both of
Whom Were Honorable Men.
"My first business venture on my own
account was in well, never mind the
name of the '.city," said a New Orleans
merchant, chatting over old times with
some friends at the board of trade. "Tb
location has nothing to do with the little
etory I am going to tell you, and, for rea
sons you will understand m a moment, 1
don't care to" be too specific.
"I was a young chap of 25 at the time,
and getting tired of working for other
people I opened a cotton brokerage ofSc
with another ex -clerk who was consider
ably my senior-in years. We put up an
equal amount of capital and agreed tc
share and share alike in the profits an3
the hustling. From the very outset every
thing went remarkably well with us. W
both had lots of friends, who took pain.''
to throw business in our hands, and tW
end of the year showed 1 very nice littlt.
balance of profit. NesJv year, however,
the results weren't quite so good, and I
began to have a faint apprehension that
I was getting a bit 'the worst of it,' as the
saying goes. I heard a vague rumor that
my -partner was living at a pretty fast
gait, and tb more I thought about the
matter the more . dissatisfied and suspi
cious I became. You know how easily
hardship upon litigants and also upon j suca estrangements will grow upon a
members of the !bar. The passage of tnis
bill, in our oipinion, will not interfere
with the general court 'bill m any way,
nor 'will it interfere with, the work 01
any of the judges as they are now as
signed.
We also therewith enclose certificate
of the clerk of Buncomlbe suDemor
court, showing present condition of our
dolcket, and you will observe from the
same that there has not 'been a sinerle
civil case tried since lMay term;. 1900. To
allow this condition of affairs to contin
ue would1 be outrageous."
