HAVE YOU ?
"Have you a will?'' was asked a newly married man. "I did have
one before 1 was married,” he said, "but I haven’t any now.’ ’
He >vH3 trying to be funny; but if he wrote a will before he was
married and did not change It afterwards he spoke the truth.
MARRIAGE REVOKES A WILL PREVIOUSLY EXECUTED. Oh,
yes. why certainly that's a good law. Otherwise an old bachelor who
had written his will giving all his property to foreign missions,
might, in the excitement of assuming a state of matrimony, forget
to change it. die* and leave his widow unprovided for. IT’S SAFE TO
SAY SHE WOUl.DN’T WEAR MOURNING LONG FOR HIM.
There are many poi/its about wills and the descent and distribu
tion of property that the best business men don’t know. Does a lega-
tee named in a will lose his legacy if he witnesses the execution of
the ■will? Is it possible for arelative whom you never saw to get
more of your property than your widow in case yon should die with
out a will? If you are a woman, would your husband get all your per
sonal property and the children nothing? Would he get all the land
for life and the children no part of it till his death? Can a woman
devise all her property of every kind to others and leave the “old
man” out in the cold altogether? Did you know that not one intelli
gent business man in ten knows that the answer to all these ques
tions Ig “yes?”
Come to see us or write us, and get these matters straightened
out in your mind. MAKE A WILL AND APPOINT THE AMERICAN
TRUST COMPANY YOUR EXECUTOR AND YOUR WISHED WILL
BE CARRIED OUT.

General Can
Not In Race
Raleigh. N. C., Sept. 20.—“An old
man like me doesn’t stand any chance.
I have quit that sort of business, but
I would like to round out a life that I
have given to North Carolina with the
United tSates senatorship.”
This was the reply of Gen. Julian
S. Carr, of Durham in response to a
Question as to whether he had fully
decided not to become a candidate for
United States senator. Several weeks
ago a Durham paper said it was prob
able that General Carr would enter
the contest, and among some politi
clana it was thought likely that he
ttigiit enter the race later.
His positive announcement this af
ternoon, however, removes him from
the field of possibilities.

Chose Site foi New
School Building
At a meeting of the board . of
school commissioners yesterday af
ternoon the decision was reached to
purchase the Gray Toole lot on
W’est Hill street as a site for the
new school building for the colored
population of the southern and
southwestern section of the city. The
price paid was $2,050 and the lot
has a frontage on West Hill street
of 179 feet with a depth of 200 feet.
It is located just beyond the South
ern railway tracks.
The new school building will cost
$10,000 and will have eight rooms.
It will he a great convenience to
\he colored population of that part of
the city in which it is situated and
the selection of the site will be agree
able to both races.
The board met yesterday afternoon
at the city hall, where the matter
was discussed. • Adjournment was
then taken to the territory in which
the building will be located. The de
cision was made there.
G. C. Plans to Enter
tain The loumts
In informal but on enthusiastic
gathering of the Greater Charlotte
Club membership took place last
night to discuss plans for entertain
ing the Glidden tourists who will
spend the night of October 18th
here.
As a result of the discussion Mr.
W. T. Corwith, secretary of the
Greater Charlotte Club, was made
chairman of a finance committee that
will look after the financing of the
entertainment features. Ward, com
mittees were also appointed to assist
him in the v/ork. The plan of the
campaign also takes in arrangements
for entertaining the Richmond boost
ers who are coining three weeks pre
vious to the coming of the tourists.
Five hundred dollars is the amount
estimated necessary to do the honors
of such an occasion properly.
The details of the program of en
tertainment are yet to be worked
out, but a dance at the Selwyn and
a reception at the Southern Manu
facturers’ Club have been decided
upon as two of the features of the
entertainment. Charlotte has seldom
been called upon to entertain a com
pany more nearly nationed in repre
sentation and every thing w'ill bo
done to pull oft the thing in accor
dance with the best traditions of
Queen City hospitality.

That Hendersonville Murder
The two physicians intended to aid the coroner’s jury make a farce

tnis crime should be hung. If the,law doeA’t provide just punishment, the
