HENDERSON WEDDINGTON.
In the retirement of Mr. J. H. Wed
dington from the position of chairman
of the Board of County Commissioners
Mecklenburg county loses one of the
most capable and useful officials it
has ever had.
For years Mr. Weddington has giv
en this county a large part of his time
and the benefit of his splendid busi
ness ability for almost no compensa
tion. Under his administration the pub
lic interests have been at all times
well served., and the county's affairs
carefully and economically managed.
His alertness and his interest in all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the people of this county have made
almost every man in the county his
personal friend, and there will be a
universal feeling of regret that, on
account of his health, he has been
compelled to lay aside the onerous
duties of this position.
In all improvements, and in all mat
, ters tending to the advancement of the
interest of the county, Mr. Weddington
has at all times been a leader. Among
his splendid achievements was the
erection of the present county home,
the handsomest and most substantial
building of its, kind in the state.
We doubt if any man ever lived in
this county who had more friends than
Henderson Weddington has today, and
they all join The hews in hoping that
with his burdens lightened, his days
may be lengthened, and that for many
years he may enjoy prosperity in
business, and the continued confidence
and love of his host of friends.
MAJOR MIMS DEPARTED.
In the death of Major Livingston
Mims yesterday the South lost one of
her most prominent and beloved sons.
The Major was one of the most widely
known men in the South and his dis
tinction was well deserved.
He'' was once Mayor of Atlanta and
was for 20 years president of the Capi
tol City Club of that city. He entered
the Confederacy at the beginning of
the war and held a close position on
the staff of Gen. Joseph E. Johnson. He
was also a close friend of Jefferson
Davis.
We can but silently mourn the rapid
disappearance of those old veterans
who risked their all for their country
when the flush of youth filled them.
One by one they are taken from our
midst with startling rapidity. In a short
while their names will only be a tender
memory in the hearts of those who can
never forget to hold them dear. We
deeply regret to hear of the death of
Major Mims.
The fire which occurred in Pineville
last Saturday night was one of the
most disastrous ever known in the his
tory of that town. A large part of the
business section of the town was swept
away and the loss was heavy. One of
the most lamentable facts about it all
was that there was exceedingly little
insurance on any of the buildings, con
sequently those whose property was
destroyed have no recourse. The peo
ple of Pineville will probably learn the
lesson of the need of a fire company
hereafter and establish one. Every
town, no matter how small, should
have a fire company of its own the
first thing, no matter what the cost.
Otherwise the people are forced to
stand by and see the flames wreak
their havoc, able to do but little to
check their onslaught as in this case.
Mr. William Jennings Bryan has
agreed to write a series of articles for
Success Magazine on different features
of foreign affairs. The first article is to
be on Chinese Immigration andpyill,
without question, be valuable. Some of
the newspapers are running the letters
of Mr. Bryan and they show a deep
conception of the conditions of the for
eign countries treated. With all of the
criticism, Mr. Bryan has received he
continues to grow in popularity as the
people grow to see him as he is one
of the foremost thinkers of the world
today.
HASTY FOUND GUILTY.
The Hasty trial which has been in
progress at Gaffney, South Carolina
has been one of the most sensational
tried in that state in sometime.
This morning at six o'clock the jury,
after long deliberation, returned a ver
dict of guilty with a recommendation to
the Court for mercy. The extent of
the punishment implied by the verdict
is life imprisonment.
To say the least this punishment is
not too much. We are glad to hear
that the wheels of Justice are still
grinding in South Carolina, and that a
man cannot slay two of his fellow
men and so free on some technical
ity. '
The counsel for the defense made
every effort to secure an extension of
time, but the prosecution were stead
fast.The sentence of the Court will
meet with public approval.
IMMIGRATION CONFERENCE.
The News correspondent from Ral
eigh yesterday told of a conference
of the industrial agents Richards of
the Southern Railway and McCoy of
the-Atlantic Coast Line with Governor
Glenn and the Department of Agricul
ture , for the purpose of formulating
plans to attract immigrants to this
state.
They insisted that all efforts should
be made through the Department of
Agriculture which is a good idea.
The railroads of the state show a
remarkable willingness to do all in
their power to inauce desirable immi
grants to the state, which means much.
The meeting yesterday was a success
and we are glad to hear of it. Time
and again we have expressed our opin
ion with regard to the immigration
problem in this state, but again we
are led to express our pleasure at the
steps that are being taken in that di
rection. 7 '
For " sometime an inter-urban car
line has been talked of between High
Point and Greensboro and Winston Sa
lem. In the past it has amounted to
little but talk. It now begins to ap
pear that something will be done. A
franchise has been granted to a com
pany over the road between High
Point and Greensboro, provided work
begins within thirty days. A line be
tween these two towns would mean
a lot to both of them and will no doubt
tickle the people of both places to
think that they may sometime be able
to step out, catch a car and make a
flying visit to a friend in the other
town while their coffee is cooling. We
hope that the report is true and that
the line may speedily be built.
Charlotte has outgrown the ordi
nance which permits the shooting of
dogs on the streets. That ordinance
might do for a country village but is
out of place in an up-to-date city
like Charlotte, and we hope the alder
men will act upon the suggestion
made by Mr. J. A. Fore and put an
end to this dangerous practice.
Georgia may boast herself the Em
pire State, but sure it is she has'nt got
a corner on sensation. The liar has
been hurled promiscuously in that
State, but listen, and make room on
the front row for South Carolina.
Things are just about at the point of
combustion in the Palmetto State. '
YOUNG MEN TO ROPE CATTLE.
And now a good South Carolinian
has risen to a point of order and made
bold to send Uncle Joe Cannon another,
appurtenance to his already bulging
wardrobe. In this case it is a pair of
hand-knit, yarn mittens to keep the
speaker's fingers warm. If those South
Carolinians don't soon stop loading
their Uncle Joe down with curios in
the line of garb he will look like a
veritable Santa Claus, or a walking
dry goods advertisement.
. A person would without question be
safe in confiding almost any kind of a
secret to either of the following' gentle
men; Cromwell, Rockefeller or Rogers.
They have learned the truth of the
old adase, "silence is golden."
Number of Scions of East to Be En
tertained in Camp on 101 Ranch in
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City, Okla., March 6.
Francis Harrison, of Cincinnati, O., is
the. first arrival of a colony of rich
young men from Eastern cities who
will be entertained at a camp estab
lished on the famous Miller Brothers
101 Ranch, at Bliss, Okla. The scions
of the wealthy Eastern families will be
given royal entertainment on the big
ranch, where they can cut watermel
ons and cantaloupes in the field and
pluck strawberries and grapes from
the vines. They will also be trained
in cow herding by expert cowboys de
tailed to the task.
Each of the visitors will be equipped
with a private saddle horse and cow
boy outfit. A polo field, golf links and
tennis court have been laid off for
those desiring that kind of recreation.
The owners of 101 Ranch have just
added to their vast herd 1,100 steers,
purchased in the market at Fort
Worth and fresh from the Texas
range.
When a man is in love he can't think
of anything else, but when a woman
is in love, she always remembers to
see that her hat is on straight.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood , and the mu
cous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work.
