Mr. Clayton, the attorney for the
Elalntiff in the case ot MoGowan vs. A.C.
1. railroad was shown the artiole from
the Fayetteville Observer of January
6th, 1900, as to the issue in the case
that onder the law of North Carolina
the right ot action against a party for
injuries was limited to one year and
had expired before suit was brought,
while the limit in South Carolina was
two years. Mr. Clayton said that this
did not at all disturb him as be had
eipeoted the issne would be raised, as
eorporations are like the taotios ot
General Grant: they conquer more by
attrition than merit. That he consid
ered rod was morally certain that the
law being quoted as to the remedy, that
hiioace was not barred, as it is the
nniversal praotioe as to the right to
follow the fex loci, but as to the remedy
the lex fori. Bat it will delay the cane
some, as It is more than probable that
the Supreme Conrt will have to pass
upon that isaae before the case oan be

Dunn and the New Caaair.
Our esteemed Dunn contemporary
quotes the artiole in a recent issue of
this paper, telling ot a move to create a
new county ont of parts of Harnett,
Sampson, Johnston and Cumberland,
with Dunn as the county seat, and then
comments as follows :
We do not know from whom the
Observer obtained its information. It
is news to the people of this section.
While there are a great many people
here who would be glad to have a new
oonnty, it is not hardly possible for ns
to hope that such a thing would be
granted by the Legislature as our
bonded indebtedness is upon us and we
cannot hope for a new eounty until this
is paid.
The Observer obtained its informa
tion from a resident ot Dunn, possibly
the leading oitizsn of Harnett county,
and a man very well informed.
The Be ath ot Hra. Botltr ot Jtew Tot k.
Telegrams were received here by her
relatives on Saturday last (January

ot the death of Mrs. Sue Sshuyler Butler,
the beloved wife of Dr. Nicholas Mur
ray Butler, President of Colombia Col
e, which occurred at her home in
New Tork early that morning.
Our press dispatches several days
ago told of her oritioal illness, and her
death was not entirely- nnexpeoted.
She had been soft aring for some weeks
past with acute heart trouble, and the
most eminent skill invoked in her be
half was able to bring but tempo
rary relief.
Beside her husband the leaves a
daughter six years ot age; a sister, Mrs.
DeLagnel Haigb; and a brother, Mr. E
0. Sobnyler of New Jersey.
She had many friends in Fayette
ville, having visited here several times,
who remember ber with much pleasure
as a beautiful, accomplished and most
estimable woman, and who regret her
death sincerely.

Charles Moseley, alias Jim Williams,
was tried before Mayor McMillan last
Tuesday charged with numerous rob
beries and was bound over to court on
the following charges: Breaking into
and robbing the store of Holllngsworth
&Company, breaking into and robbing
the warehouse of the Armour Packing
Company, and breaking open and rob
bing the tool chest ol J. T. Squires, a
carpenter who is working on Mr. W.
L. Holt's new residence on Hsymount.
He is suspected of several other rob
beries, but the above were the clearest
esses against him.
Deputy Sheriff Monaghan and Po
liceman Benton have suspected Mose
ley of the several robberies recently
committed in this city, and have been
hot on his trail; but It was by chance
and the vigilance of Policeman Benton
that be was captured early Saturday
morning.
Mr. Benton had just come off duty
and was on his way home when he
saw a familiar figure turn . down
a side street in Iront of him. He
hurried up to the man, and, t6hls sur
prise, It was the much sought for
Moseley. He pot him under arrest
and carried him to police headquarters
where he was searched, A chisel, af
terwards Identified by Mr. Squires,
was found on his person; and It was
evident that he was on his way to rob
a store when caught. Some of the
goods taken from Holllngsworth &
Company and from the Armour Pack
ing Company have also been recover
ed. Another chisel which he took
from Mr. Squires was found at Ar-
msnr & Lo'a warehouse the next
morning after the robbery.
Moseley was discharged In October
from the penitentiary, where he had
been serving a sentence for robbing
Mr. J. S. Manltsby's Bee Hive store.
The police consider this the most
Important arrest made In Fayettevllle
In several years.

Messrs. Bevlll & Vanstory have been
expecting a car load of mules and
horses from St Louis for several days,
and last night the car arrived consign
ed to them.
Alter the animals had all been safe
ly landed in the big stable on Gilles
pie street, it was discovered that a mis
take had beeu made, and that they
were not the ones expected. Messrs.
Bevlll & Vanstory should have re
ceived 4 horses and. 23 mules, while
this lot consisted of 2 horses and 25
mules, while the animals themselves
did not tally with the Invoice. It was
evident that at some watering and feed
ing point along the route the animals
for the car consigned to Bevlll & Van
story had been loaded Into some one
else's car, and vice versa.
Now this some one else Is In the
same predicament as - Messrs Bevlll & J

The Florence (8. C.) Times of Toes
day says :
We congratulate Fayetteville, N. C ,
on her good fortune and water line to
New York and the markets of ths
world, a route that the greed ot the
trusts cannot cover with a merger, nor
foreign bond holders wrest away from
the home people. We would that we
could have something of the same sort
for Florence.

Mr. D. H. Ray is having another
office building erected on Anderson
street, and If the demand for office
buildings remains ss at present, he will
demolish all the old Pumpkin Row
buildings and comple the row with new
ones similar to those already com
pleted or building.
Cat of Ancient Earpt.
By some persons the popularity of
the cat In Egypt hns been attributed
to the fact that the nnliual was valu
able in ridding the palaces of rats and
mice and also In hunting fowls. There
are several palntlnps In the British
museum, executed by ancient Egyp
tian artists, representing Egyptian
sportsmen in boats on tbo river Nile,
accompanied by large cats, sitting on
their haunches In the stern. Other
pictures show the cats swimming with
birds In their mouths after the manner
of retriever dugs. Those pictures have
greatly perplexed modern naturalists
because the cut of today has a strong
aversion to water, and It Is difficult to
reconcile such different traits even aft
er the lapse of thousands of years.
Food We Oaaht o Bat.
It has been said that a man should
be In very good health If he takes no
more than three different kinds of food
at any one meal. It should be served
as nearly ns possible In Its simple
state. More food is required on a
damp, raw, cold day than on a cheer
ful, dry one.
As a rule. It Is safe to assume that
what we crave for Is best for us,
though In eases ot Illness this point
should not bo strictly udhercd to.
Men require a good deal more food
than women; those who work hard
more than' those who lead a sedentary
Mc; tltoso who are growing more the
those who have reached maturity.
