Leslie one of "Frauk Rogers’ hoys,” which is to say. he belonged to a coterie of Concord young men who received the finishing touches to their education front the hands of Air. li. F. Rogers, who was principal of a * famous school for boys in that town. Not many of Mr. Rogers' boys went to college. Nearly all of them went from school directly into occupa tion for themselves. Mr. Leslie was the bashful boy of the school. He was quieet and retired, but ho was by no means backward. He began bis career as clerk fi»r the Cannon & Fetzer Compauy and along about the time ho had developed singular proficiency. Air. Rogers opened business in Charlotte under the firm twine of Yorke Brothers and Rogers. He secured Mr. Leslie to take the man agement of the business, and one morn ing in the course of jt few years, h# waked to find that 'Mr. James \V. Can non had “discovered” Mr. Leslie. Mr Cannon had opened an office in New York for the handling of the product of his mills and he put Air. Leslie in charge of the New A'ork house. Tt was' m> very great an advancement that Air. Rogers did not undertake to hold Air. Leslie to the Charlotte house, but he let him go with word to Air. Cannon that he had secured the fipest business, head -and the safest manager he could have found in thrj country. Never a day passed hut that AJr. Rogers was wont to reminisce in connection with Air. Leslie’s Charlotte service, that he knew sit the close of business every item in the day's transactions, with every item of sale properly legered. > In the broader field at New York, Air- Leslie had opportunity for ex pansion of his executive talents and Mr. Cannon was not slow in realizing that in him he had secured a valuable mnfi. Cnder Air. Leslie’s management the New York business grew with amaz ing rapidity and regularity, and with increased recognition of his servicer. Air. Leslie came into progressively higher financial standards. Prosperity did not turn his head. He was ever the, syrne modest • and lionestly-spoke.i "Johnnie Leslie" among the home folks in New York and among the friends from home calling upon him there. In the business circles of that city he won ■ a place of abiding trust and cogndence. Hy became known ;fnd admired among the big jteople of New York as a man of sterling honesty and unquestioned char acter. In his earlier days he had made his way without asking advice, hut it came to pass that in a city of great business men. his advice was sought. It was an extraordinary career of sitc •css the Concord young man worked out for himself: it was closed at a time when the future appeared to hold out vet greater things for liiTn. The shone is me from which his friends must emerge as from a daze into realization that this tine young man has passed on and that we shall know him no moro. ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL !n l)r.

McKIMMON PLEADS FOR NORTH CAROLINA FLOUR Asks Our People to Look Into the Vii» tups of Our Own Home Ground Flour. Raleigh, N. C., July 23.—“ While we are having ‘Live at Home' campaigns and are striving to have home products lab eled ‘Made in North Carolina,’ I hope we will not forget to look into the virtues of our own grown wheat and home ground flour.” sajd Mrs. Jane S. McKim mon, in charge of the Home Demonstra tion work of the State College and De partment of Agriculture, in a statement issued here tonight. "Much has been said about the hard wheat flour which cpuies into the state from another part of the country and of the fine bread it produces, but it is now high time that the merits of our native grown soft wheat flout* be equally well known." Mrs. McKimmon continued. "It is true that soft wheat flour d oes not contain as much of that elastic in gredient known as gluten as does the hard wheat flour, but it contains quite enough to produce light fluffy rolls and wholesome well risen loaves. I should like to emphasize that statement so that it may never be forgotten. "All we need to consider is that the flour shall be of good quality, the yeast shall be fresh and lively and that the mixing and manipulation of the dough shall be properly done. “For six months of one year I spent much time in experimenting with bread doughs using both hard and soft wheat flour. Results with the North Carolina flour were excellent. I found that bread dough made from this soft wheat flour must be stiffer than that made with hard wheat and it required therefore a longer period for rising. “The flavor of the bread was unexcell ed and the lightness of the finished prod uct left nothing to he djjsrfred. A wom an need not fear therefore to use Hour ground in her neighborhood mills if she will follow’ recipes and directions which the Office of Home Demonstration AYork will be glad to send. “I understand there are at present around two hundred flour mills iu North Carolina which produce approximately four million barrels of flour per year. Enough to feed the whole population of the state. The housewife who learns to use this home product not only gives her family a wholesome food but helps in the great movement to make North Car olina feed itself. "At the recent annual school .and con ference for North Carolina Home Dem onstration Agents held at Blue Ridge, one of the most interesting demonstra tions given was in making tea rolls with North Carolina soft wheat flour, home made liquid yeast, and an egg-'frotn the poultry raised on the farm.' The rolls were prepared, baked and served to the audience that all might test their qual ity, and the agents were enthusiastic in their praise of the results.” ' AFTER MANY YEARS. Catawba.

Garrett in order to save the state “from a great scandal and from the disgrace or a great criminal trial whioh threatens to go down in history as a travesty upon justice.” Judge Hundley said lie "respectful ly called upon the governor to inter vene in this important crisis because I think Air.
