MiUions in Sight. i .
Last week's High Point Enterprise
tails a most remarkable and Interesting
story concerning the heirs of the late
A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince of
Ifew York. It seems that many years
ago there lived In Randolph county
four brothers by the name or Ldwaras
who married four sisters, Hamlltons
also of Randolph. All of them went
Into5 business in New York moving
there and were very successful. Only
one child was born into the household
a daughter. The property of all four
brothers went to this girl at tnel
death. This same girl is said to have
become the wife of A. T. Stewart, the
merchant king.
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were childless,
all the property falling to the wife at
Stewart's death. Mrs. Stewart died
last winter and the heirs were adver
Used for. It is now claimed that the
lawful heirs ll7e in Randolph county
two or three of them; one man by the
name of Brewer and another named
Harris, who are closely related to the
original families that went to New
York years ago.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the heirs through a mer
chant at Jackson Hill, N. C, who was
In New York buying goods. He saw
the advertisement for the heirs and
knew them. He secured a lawyer,
looked into the matter and came home
and revealed it to the heirs. They have
employed three other attorneys. The
parties interested, say that their law
yers have reported $11,000,000 already
U band and that the entire estate is
worth $64,000,000. The Enterprise is
Informed that one of the heirs lives at
Cedar Falls, another at New Salem and
a third at or near Randleman.
The Patriot hopes there is founda
tion for the story and that these Ran
dolph people may come into possession
of the millions left by Mrs. Stewart.
Governor Russell has pardoned Ed.
pand Arthur Orrell, who were sent to
the county roads a few weeks ago to
serve out a sentence of twelve months
for breaking into a house. They were
convicted at the last December term of
court, along with Charles Roberson,
who has also been pardoned. An ap
peal was taken to the Supreme court,
where the verdict of the lower court
was confirmed. Pending the hearing
of the appeal the Orrell boys departed
for parts unknown, returning a few
weeks ago, when tbey were arrested
and sent out to the convict camp. We
do not doubt that the granting of par
dens is just and proper in some in
stances, but we are of the opinion that
the prerogative Is often abused. If the
lick Is to be kept up the taxpayers will
begin to wonder why the necessity ex
ists of putting the county to the heavy
expense of detecting and convicting
criminals if they are to belmmediately
pardoned upon petition of interested
friends and relatives.' When persons
are guilty of some grave offence, and
the evidence of guilt is conclusive, we
are unable to see any reason for grant
ing a pardon. Such action does not
further the ends of justice.
Mr. Nv A. Page died at his borne,
a short distance west of the . Battle
Ground, last Wednesday and was
buried at Guilford College the day
following. 'Rev. A. G. Kirkman con
ducted the funeral services. The de
ceased was fifty-one years old and
leaves a wife and several children. He
had been in declining health for sev
eral months. Mr. Page was a good
citizen and will be missed in the com
munity. About eight years . ago he
made a profession of religion and con
nected himself with the Methodist
church at Morehead's Chapel. He was
an active worker and an official mem
ber of the church, having served as
steward, trustee and Sunday school
superintendent. He was prepared for
death and his end was peace.

Farmers who feed pumpkins to
hogs should see that the seeds have
been extracted. At several points in
the North hogs have been dying off by
the hundreds on account of indigestion
caused by pumpkin seeds. Cholera
was supposed to have been the cause
of the deaths, but a post mortem exam

the fact that the stomach was packed
with undigested seeds, "
