"(Action taken by Mecklenburg Camp Confederate Veterans, at Char lotte. N. C, January 11. 1904.) "The announcement of the de ath of our beloved chief at his winter home in Florida, was followed promptly but sadly by the convening cf our camp in cur council chamber, to speak our com mon grief and pay tribute to the mem ory of one whom we both loved and honored. "As a feeble expression of the senti ments of the members of this camp, we put on record the resolutions which follow, painfully sensible of the inade quacy of words to reveal our sense of personal loss, and of affectionate re gard for our honored leader who bad enthroned himself in our very hearts, and whom we. now crown with a wealth of loving and sacred memory. "1. Resolved. That in the death of our General Goidon, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Vet- rtHS, v l. . ' not onlv as if a leader whom we vert amonz us the emooaimeui, iu -rnv ii rn 1 n ya v. w plonea wiui sucn aruui emu uctu.v.. He was a typical representative 01 us best traditions, and m mm met m lus trous harmony all that which we cherish as sacred in the memorials of the Confederacy. "2. Resolved. That we will cherish his memory as of a soldier of bravery unsurpassed, and of honor untarnish ed: as of our late commander, honored and beloved, and as a man and cit izen, a beautiful representative of Southern chivalry, without fear and without reproach, pure in life and pur pose, worthily wearing the title so nobly won, "The Chevalier Bayard of the Confederacy." "3. Resolved.. That, while we, his surviving comrades in arms, are as sembled to speak our grief over our personal loss, we remember in kindly sympathy the bereaved widow and stricken children, andend thera a rec ord of this memorial as a token of af fectionate good will, and rejoice with them , and for them in the rich herit age of honor which, as soldier, states- OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the III Effects of Cof fee When One Cannot Digest it. A farmer cays: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up cof fee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctcred with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way. of medicine but if I got any better it only lasted a lit tle while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Pos tum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increas ed in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I be gan using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me and when they Were feeling bad they began to usa Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. . Ten days' trial of Postum Food Cof fee in 'place of ordinary coffee proves the truth, an easy and pleasant way. There's a reason.

"HARRISON WATTS, Commander, "H. D. BUCKWORTH, Adjutant." I WITH THE RECORDER t The most important case before the Recorder in quite a while was that to day of C. C. Grier, a well known col ored man who runs a pressing club on Poplar street, charged with eellm-i whiskey on Sunday last. The chief witness against Grier was Jim Whitt, a white man, who said that he went to Grier's place on Sunday and inquired if he could get something to drink; that Grier told him he ws out but could set him something; that Grier returned after a few minutes and handed him a bottle containing about half a pint of corn liquor that hn (Whitt) then gave 35 cents to Grier and left the place. Grier when, placed on the stand said that he did give the man Whitt some of his private stock and that the 35 cents was a debt which Whitt owed him for pressing clothes. Grier was required to give a bond of one hundred dollars and Whitt was also placed under a similar bonds as a witness. Whitt was also up oh a charge of being drunk -and was sent to jail for tLirty days. , 'Three lickings one per day for three day3," was the verdict of the court today in the case of a little negro about ten years of age who was charged with placing rocks on the street car tracks yesterday near the Charlotte Cotton mills. Conductor Rogers saw the obstruction on the track and the car stopped but the ne groes of whom there were four struck out and ran away. Later, Mr. Rogers returned with Officer Summerrow who found the boys hidden in a garrett of one of the nearby negro houses. They were pulled down and summoned to court this morning. The evidence was against Jim Gaffney. Gaffney's mother v. as in court and the court told her that if she would agree to come to the police station each day for three days and administer a sound thrashing to the boy that he would be set free after the third day. The woman agreed to the arrangement and the first thrashing wps duly administered today. George Chanler, a colored man, was lip for carrying a pistol. He was locked up in default of a $35 bond. An interesting case against, the Southern Railway will be tried in the Recorder's court tomorrow morning, the warrant charging the road with violating a city ordinance which al lows trains to block a crossing not over five minutes. , The matter grows out-of the stop page of No. 33 from the North yes terday morning at the Soiftheni pas senger depot on West Trade street. The case was to have been disposed of this morning but the Southern through their representative, Mr. Crutchfield requested that one day be given the road ia)which to investigate the case and prepare a defense.

SEVEN AGES OF GRAFT. All the world is graft, And all the men and women merely grafters. They have their sure things and their bunco games, And one man in his time works many grafters, His bluffs being seven ages. At first the infant Conning his dad until he walks the floor; And then the whining schoolboy, por ing o er his book, Jollying his teacher into marking him A goodly grade. And then the lover, Making each maiden think that she Is but the only one. And then the soldier, Full of strange words and bearded like a pard, Seeking the bubble reputation, Even in the magazines. And then the Justice, Handing put the bull con to the bench And jollying the jury till it thinks He knows it all. The sixth age shifts To lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose his is graft! For he is then the Old Inhabitant And all must hear him talk. Last scene of all, That ends this strange, eventful his tory, Is second childishness and mere obli vion, Sans graft, sans pull, sans cinch, sans everything. Pretty good parod on old man "Shake."
