REC0NC1LATI0N DENIED JbY MR. JAMES B. DUKE His Former Infatuation for His Wile Has Vanished-Wants Diyorw low. Somerville,, N. J., Feb. 20 The repart that a reconciliation is about to be effected between James B. Duke, president of the Ameri can Tobaooo Company, and his wife, Lillian N. Duke, whom he is suing for a divorce, is emphati cally denied by Mr. Duke's close friends here today, Bichard V. Lindebury, Mr. Duke's counsel also states that he has no know ledge of any intent on the part of Mr. Duke to settle his differences with Mrs. Duke out of court, and he is quite positive that the divorce trial will go on. 'Mr. Duke's infatuation for his pretty wife has been dispelled and he is done with her forever," said a olose friends of Mr. Duke in disoussing the case to-night 'Since his separation from his wife Mr Duke has taken up his abode with his brother, Benjamin N. Duke, in New York' making occasional visits to his estate here.'

To accomplish anything iu life it is said that ws must go at it with a determination to succeed til go t all the time and never letup and to be everlastingly at it.

There is no first and " second class among the Scotch. If man is poor it has no effect upon his social position but. he maintains an equal position with his rich neighbor. This is the way it used to be, but of late . I notics a di position among some people to assume a "saHsiety" air, and a desire to letths world know that they , are better thau their neigh bors.

Feb. 28 Bepre- sentative Gudger received a num ber of letters from citizens of Ashe- ville and elsewhere, urging him to speak in defense of Judge Pritch ard. who is charged with practic ing before one of the executive departments of the goveruieut on several occasions ; but if he does o on tne door of the House, as I ma been predicted, be will draw tire from other members of Con gress, and a gene rs I dismission of these charges is certain to fol low. Representative Patterson, of the Sixth District, is one of those who will have something to say in the event that Mr Gudger champions Judge Pritchhard's cause in Con gress. Speaking with reference to this subjeot Monday, Mr. Patter son said. . In the event that a speeoh is made on the floor of the House in defense of Judge Pritchard, I shall have something to say with; refers ence to a speech that he, as a Sena tor, delivered in the Senate after the Wilmington riots, in whioh he denounced the people of my seo tion. I recall that at that time North Carolina was represented in the Senate by Senators Pritchard and Butler and that a Senator Funeral of Mrs. Thomson. The funeral of Mrs. N.A.Thom son, mention of whose untimely death, was made in the last issue of The Bobesonian, was held from Back Swamp Churoh, .six miles from Lumberton, Tuesday after noon.

Appeals to Congress have nothing to do with Judge Pritchard s practicing before the departments in viola tion of a Federal statute If he did so, aud acknowledges the fact, as I understand be does, he should stand before the laws of the oonntry as other citizons are re quired to do. The cases in which the charges are preferred against Judge Pritchard should rest on their merits, and appeala to Con gress one way or another should have noting to do jrith their final determination, whether in a Fed. eral court or elsewhere.', The speech referred to by Mr. Patterson was delivered in the Sen- ate in 1001 by Senator Pritchard in support of a motion made by Ex-Senator Marion Butler to re fer to the Elections Committee the credentials of Senator Simmons with the view of deuying him hfs seat- In that speech Senator Pritchard said, among other things that the people of North Carolina did not have a Bepublican form of government.
