THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, DECEMBER 21, 1 905
OLD NEGRO GETS
HISJUG AGAIN
Convicted of Retailing, Judge
' Ward is Magnanimous in His
a Case and Orders his Liquor Re
" stored to Him. Judge Bur
' - well to Hear Case.
Special to The News.
Greensboro, N. C, Dec. 21 Superior
court adjourned at twelve o'clock yes
terday after one of the most strenuous
terms ever known in Guilford. Judge
Ward makes a model judge in many
respects, but in none more so than
in his uniform courtesy and his won
derful faculty of keeping things mov
ing without any sign of rush or haste.
He and Solicitor Brooks make a pair
that any novice can safely draw to.
. 'In the case of an old negro man (80
years eld), convicted for retailing, he
reduced his sentence from 90 dars to
30 days. He was even more magnani
mous.' and on appeal from Lawyer S.
G.. Bradshaw ordered the police to re
store the jug of a gallon and a half
of -corn liquor which had been confis
cated, back to the old man or to his
attorney before Christmas.
Col. James. T. Morehead made the
following appeal: "Your Honor, I do
not know the nigger nor his name, but
he was a fellow who was sent to the
roads four months on the testimony
of .spy Stadmon, who had given him
money to buy whiskey. If he had any
body to defend him and hadn't pleaded
guilty, and had gone to the jury, he
would have been acquitted. In behalf
of humanity and Christmas, I ask your
h'viaor to reduce the nigger's sentence.
I've got nothing to do with it except
as a citizen and a lover of fair play."
"I'll make it the least possible," re
sponded Judge Ward. "Make it thirty
days, Mr. Clerk."
Judge Ward left for his home in
Elizabeth City via Danville and Nor
folk. ''h In the matter of the injunction
against the City of High Point for al
leged encroachments on the railroad's
right of way, United States Judge Boyd
today appointed Judge Armistead Bur-T.-ell,
of Charlotte, as special Master,
to take evidence and make report.
. St. Leo's Hospital, the magnificent
structure ' on Summit Avenue now
under construction is fast nearing
completion. It is expected to be ready
for occupancy by the first of March,
and then the landscape gardening will
be all that is left to be done. The hos
pital is fitted with every modern con
venience and the very best material
is used in the work all the way
through. Mr. Huntington, the superin
tendent of the work, says that the
work of each department equalled
that of the larger hospitals and pub
lic buildings which he had helped to
m
BOD
construct in St. Louis. Baltimore and
other large cities.
The hospital will accomodate 175
patients and will cost $125.000..
At a meeting of the Library Com
mittee last night, it was decided that
the exercises attendant upon the form
al opening of the new $30,000 Carnegie
Library building be held about March
1st.
Rev. Dr. Crawford was named as a
committee of one to confer with cer
tain gentlemen whose presence will
be desired on the occasion of the
opening. The exercises of the opening
will be on av scale commensurate with
the importance of the event. The prop
osition of Mr. Carnegie to give ten
thousand dollars for a library for the
colored people was discussed, but the
board decided to wait until the next
meeting to decide as to the acceptance
of the proposition.
The Normal and Industrial, and the
Greensboro female colleges closed for
the holidays. The young ladies began
to leave at noon and by Friday, none
will be left. The colleges will reopen
January 3. and all the students are
expected to return by then.
NO MORE ASTHMA.
New Method of Treatment May Stamp
It Out Entirely.
New York Dec. 20. The opinion re
cently expressed by one of the most
prominent throat and lung specialists
of this city, that asthma is a constitu
tional disease and must be treated ac
cordingly, has been accepted as cor
rect by the medical profession gen
erally. This theory has been success
fully demonstrated in obstinate cases
by the use of ascatco, a recent dis
covery in medical science which at
tacks asthma constitutionally, and, be
sides giving immediate relief, perman
ently eradicates the disease.
Since the establishment of the Aus
trian dispensary, at 32 West Twenty
fifth Street, New York City, for the
purpose of supplying ascatco to phy
sicians and sufferers generally.so many
permanent cures have resulted that it
has been decided in future to supply
ascatco free of charge to every one
who applies in future to the dispen
sary for it, whether by mail or in per
son. Several well-known physicians
have already expressed the opinion
that this plan will aid greatly in stamp
ing out the disease.

RACE HORSES GOING SOUTH.
Two Cars Pass Through En Route to
New Orleans.
Race horses are leaving the North
ern tracks for New Orleans and other
warmer " climes. Yesterday morning,
there were two cars filled with fine
animals attached to No. 39. the early
morning train from Washington.
The Spartanburg Journal has the fol
lowing: "When train No. 39 from, the North'
rolled into the yards at Spartanburg
this morning dead on time, and clip
ping along the rail at a forty mile
gait, people at the depot were sur
prised to see two red colored box
cars between the huge engine and
the passenger coaches. The habit of
running No. 39 as a "mixed" train
was scarcely ever head of before in
these parts and folks at the depot
stood in the . cold, drizzling rain in
open-mouthed wonder at the strange
phenomenon which the Southern
Railway had sprung on them.
"The reason, however, was not hard
to get at for there were some twenty
or thirty race horses that had to be
in New Orleans within a short time
and there being no better way to
transport the throughbreads, they
were placed in the wooden box-cars
and started South on their long trip.
The cars wrere lighted by windows
cut in the doors and were steamheat
ed just as was the rest of the trains,
and fitted up pretty well for stable
cars. "Phew, but them cars must feel
funny running like mad in front of
that fast train, with them heavy
coaches behind," was the timely com
ment of the bystander who was look
ing at the scene in the yard.
$500,000 TO SALVATION ARMY.
The Army Will Purchase Big Tracts of
Land and Give Five Acres to Each
Settler.
London, Dec. 21. General Booth of
the Salvation army today wrote to
King Edward, announcing that George
Herring, chairman of the City of Lon
don Electric Lighting company, and a
prominent member of many other cor
porations, had donated $500,000 to the
army to be used in a home coloniza
tion scheme, but that the army had
engaged to repay this sum in twenty
five annual installments to the King's
hospital fund.
In a letter to the press, General
Booth outlines the scheme. He says the
army proposes to purchase tracts of
land in England, giving five acres or
thereabouts to each settler, building
cottages, providing seeds .agricultural
implements, and supporting the set
tlers until the land becomes produc
tive. Each settler will repay the army by
a system of easy installments. The en
tire colonization scheme is to be under
the direction of the army.
In this way General Booth says he
hopes to provide for those who for va
rious reasons run out of England under
the immigration schemes of the Sal
vation army.
