Heredity has nothing to do with

growth which can be entirely remove..;

is a hopeless disease is partly due
to the fact that- cases of successful

One of the most trasric and pitiable

by much that is strange and mysterious
particularly in the events which
marked the closing days of her career,

against the blank wall of the prob

unsolved riddles of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth.
Mary Stuart was only 19 when, heed
ing the pleas of her people, she sailed
from France a:nd returned to Scotland
after the death of her French husband.
Hardly had she landed, before her in

brought her into conflict with many
of her own subjects., while the
controversy with Queen Elizabeth over
the succession to the British thrcrvs
added additional fuel to the flames of
dissension on both sides of the border.
But the principal troubles of the
young Queen were due to the efforts
of her uncles to secure for her a sec
ond husband, Lord Darnley, son of the
Earl of Lennox, being finally selected
for this honor. It did not take the i
Queen long tv discover Darnley's true
character and marital discord of the
most intense nature ensued, culminat
ing in the King's accusation that Mary
had become enmeshed:' in an intrigue
with David Rizzio, he secretary, and
the assassination of the latter under
tho very eyes of the Queen.
The death of the young King follow
ed shortly afterwards, under circum
stances which pointed toward the com
plicity of the Earl of Rpthwell, a close
friend of the Queen, who, after being I
tried and acquitted of the charge of j
murder, carried Mary off to his castle"
at Dunbar, where he married her a !
few days after securing a divorce from j
his former wife. The storm of indigna-;
tion to which this action gave rise was 1
so widespread and so intense that it
became necessary for Mary to flee from
Scotland and take refuge in England,
where she sought the protection of
Elizabeth, her cousin.
The "Good Queen Bess," however,
had by no means forgotten the efforts
which Mary had previously made to
secure her own throne and therefore
ordered an investigation of the charges
made by the Earl of Murray that Mary
had been involved in the conspiracy to
murder her second husband. Lord Darn
ley. Here it is that the casket letters'
make their appearance, for Murray in
troduced as direct evidence of his ac
cusation a silver casket which Alary
had given to her first husband, the
King of France, and had later present
ed to Bothwell, containing, in the lat
ter instance, a number of love letters
and sonnets and two documents, one of
which was supposed to have been in
her own handwriting and the other to
have been dictated by her.
If the genuineness of these letters
is not questioned, they form incontest
' able proof of the Queen's guHt in con
, spiring against the life of her husband,
as well as in acquiescing in the plot
J by which Bothwell was to carry her
I off to his mountain foftress. But the
Queen of the Scots paid so little atten
I tiou to this evidence, which she de
clared was nothing more than a bare
faced forgery, that she instructed her
j counsellors to ignore it completely and
! to build her defense on other grounds.
i The adherents of the Earl of Murray,
illegitimate son of King James and
therefore half-brother to Mary, main
tained, on the other hand, that the in
timacy of certain passages ' in the let
ters and the great amount of detail
which they contained was sufficient
proof of their authenticity, despite the
fact that they were couched in terms
so vulgar and in. language so unschoot1"
ed that it seemed impossible that the
Queen could have written them.
The combination of the casket let
ters, the constant strear.i of under
ground intrigue and the hatred of
Elizabeth culminated in the sentenc
ing of Mary to the scaffold but the
casket letters vanished as mysteriously
as thej had appeared and the que3
tion of whether or not they were gen
uine has to be listed among the mys
teries which surrounded the reign of
the ill-fated Queen of the Scots.

Last
Months
Account
Pay
It NO W
It Will Keep Your Credit Good and Make
Your Account Desirable -
The members of the Charlotte Merchants' Association are conducting an advertising campaign to educate
slow-paying customers in the fairness and importance of paying bills promptly when due".
Last month's account, per statement rendered on the 1st of this month, is due now. Whether you have
paid such account or not, please read all this "ad."
Your credit standing is based upon the promptness with which' you paynot upon your intention of pay
ing or your ability to pay but the way you DO pay.
Many persons have been negligent and indifferent in .the prompt payment of their bills, mainly because
they do not realize the importance and fairness of being propmt. These people will respond to our explanation
of the conditions which make necessary the enforcement of the prompt pay measure at the present time.
There are others, however, who believe that because they eventually pay their bills, their
accounts are desirable. They think a fancied superiority to ordinary mortals, because of prominence in busi
ness or social circles, releases them from tHeir obligation of paying their debts promptly.
Such people think that they can assume the prerogative of saying how and when they shall pay their
bills. Some of them (it is known) because of poor management of their personal affairs, buy more than they
can pay for. Putting off payment from month to month, meanwhile buying more, allows the total to become
almost unpayable. .
Then they become indignant at courteous requests for settlement. It is decidedly unpleasant for all con
cerned. '
.-.,--
The prosperity of Charlotte, the prosperity of the State, the prosperity of the Nation depends, upon the
prompt discharge of all obligations. Prompt payers will bring business back to normal and. start idle factories
to runningMerchants cannot buy from jobbers and manufacturers unless they pay. Overdue book, accounts
are not considered very highly by the merchant's banker.
From now on all customers are expected to pay their accounts in full when due. If they do this their ac
counts will be welcomed at all stores. If they do not, they will soon find their accounts are undesirable.
