Greensboro, March 21.-—Sometime
ago Messrs. Thacker & Brockman,
merchants here, receivei a letfer from
a man who signed himself as Rev.
John Thompson Hargravo, of Ver
don, Va., asking them TO quote him
prices on their shoes and men's under
wear. The firm promptly mailed the
desired information. In a few days an
order came for twenty-six pairs of
shoes of different kinds and numbers
mentioned it the catalogue. Accom
panying the order was a long list of
references, the writer stating that he
was an Episcolap minister, located at
Verdon, Hanover County, directing the
shoes to be shipped to Taylorsville,
Hanover County, the depot and stat
ing that his residence was at Aliver
Post Office, Hanover County.
In the list of references were half a
dozen Bishops in as many dioceses and
as many more prominent clergymen in
this and other states besides promi
nent bankers and railroad officials.
Among the North Carolina referenc
es from clergymen was that of the
Rev. Francis Joyner, of Littleton..
There were so many 01 these refer
ences that the Greensboro firm grew
suspicious, and before filling the order
wrote to the postmaster at Verdon
* concerning the responsibility or the
inedtity of the Rev. Mr. Hargrave.
The answer came today, stating that
the party inquired about must be a
scamp of the first water. That he
came there from somewhere in Penn
sylvania some time ago, and since
then had been receiving goods con
signed to him from all parts of the
United States, many of them being
seized before he could get hold of
them. The postmaster said he was
tired of getting inquiries and from
what he heard and had reason to be
lieve, the alleged clergyman "was one
of the biggest scamps on earth."
Parties here h£yre received copies of
a Virginia paper published at Roanoke
giving a detailed report of the obtain
ing under false pretenses of sixty-five
dollars on a forged check at a bank
there by Rufus K. Parks, of Alleghany
County, and of his escape from offi
cers. The article stated that he had
formerly stood high in Alleghany
1 County, being a brother-in-law of Gov
ernor Doughton and of Mr. S. A. Car
son, of the Alleghany Star, having
married a few days ago Miss Ellen
Carson, a splendid young woman well
known and greatly admired in Greens
boro. The two column news story
has a foot note: "Alleghany Star
please copy."
It seems difficult ,to arouse much
interest in the approaching city elec
tion. So far only two candidates are
in the field for mayor, one being the
present incumbent, T. J. Murphy, the
other L. J. Brandt, at present a mem
ber of the Board of Aldermen.
Not a solitary man has offered for
an aldermanship. It is understood
that not one of the present admini
stration, except the two first named
for mayor, will be candidates for re
election. There will be legalized pri
maries under recent act of the Legis
• lature for the nomination of all Demo
cratic candidates for city offices under
the rules adapted by the city Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
Rumor is busy with the names of
several prominent citizens for alder
men, among those mentioned being E.
A. Brown, John L. King, W. M. Bar
bee, Lee H. Battle, Z. V. Taylor, C.
M. Vanstory, Samuel Mitchell, B. H.
Merriman, Samuel A. Boyd, E. P.
Wharton and William Love. None of
these gentlemen have indicated their
desire to run, but some of them will
piobably be run any way..
It is an anomalous situation, but
things may get more interesting from
now on.

Dear Sir: No man is in a position

What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it in
cludes the rest. One paint wears long,
another wears short; but the one that
wears long is the least-gallons paint;
least-gallons means pure and strong,
and most-gallons means adulterated

Paint is one of the biggest interests

FABRICS FOR SPRING.
Popularity of Checks and Stripes—
Chiffon Weights.
Second only to the novelty which
characterized the modes of the present
season the fabrics and materials
brought out for their development.
Never in the history of woman's cos
tuming have we seen such fineness of
texture and such beauty of design as
these new weaves display. Cottons,
linens, silks and worsteds —it is the
same along all the line.
The very early date of Easter and
the unsettled weather conditions have
given worsteds a strong preference
over the lighter-weight silks and the
two or three piece tailored suit over
the costume and separate wrap. True,
these latter will find favcr with a class
of women to whom expense is no item,
but the woman who must needs satisfy
herself with one spring costume —and
she it is who is in the majority
—will select a smart walking costume
of modish cut ami materials.
Light in weight and light ~ color
typifies the class of dress materials
which we are using this spring. Plain
cloths in rich dark tones, brown,
blues and grays find their way into the
more serviceable suits for morning
and walking wear, while the lighter
tones of broadcloth, Panama, serge,
shelma cloth and the like find favor
with those who for one reason or an- \
other do not approve of the novelty
stripes and checks which mark the
jigh-styJe note of spring dress goods
collections.
Checks of very size from the tiniest
shepherds to the checkerboard of inch
dimensions, decided checks and invisi
ble checks, these, with the new broken
patterns designated on the other side
as peasanf's checks, are found in the
softest and most beautiful worsted and
silk weaves which one can imagine.
Stripes, if anything, are a trifle more
modish than checks, for any woman
can wear stripes, while only a limited
few find a checked fabric becoming.
The slender woman can indulge in
checks and even plaids to her heart's
content, but her sister of more gener
ous proportions—and the average
American woman is not small like her
French sister —will, if she is schooled
in the art of dress, adopt those modish
stripes, which tend to lengthen the
figure and give to it the long, graceful
lines which/present modes demand.
Add to this quality the trimming possi
bilities of the fabrics themselves and
one readily understands the popular
ity accorded stripes in every fabric
from the inexpensive cottons to the
highest priced silks and worsteds.
Among the plain fabrics and those
carrying an unob:rusive design, such
as hairline or polka dot, are the voiles,
marquisettes and similar chiffonlike
fabrics, to be made up over linings of
lustrous silk in self of constrasting
color. Checked, striped and plaided
silks are likewise used with telling
effect as linings for these semidiaph
anous materials. Lustrous silks bring
to mind the new mohairs, patterned
as attractively as any silk and well
nigh as soft in quality and lustrous in
finish. These will be developed into
some of the most fetching costumes of
the season and already are finding a
new and novel as well as serviceable
use in separate coats for both day and
evening wear.
Dividing favor with the new silks
for separate costumes and dressy
waists are the landsdownes and silk
poplins—not new fabrics, to be sure,
but so soft and lustrous in their new
expressions that, though the season is
yet young, large quantities of them
are daily finding their way over the
counters.
Tennessee Builders Organize.
Memphis, Tenn., March 25. —A con
ference was begun here today having
for its object the organization of a
state association of builders' exchang
es of Tennessee, on the lines of simi
lar bodies existing in Texas and'other
states. Among those interested are
the builders' exchange of Chatanooga.
Nashville, Memphis and Jackson. If
the project is realized the state asso
ciation will become affiliated with the
National Association of Builders' Ex
changes.
Priest's Silver Jubilee.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 25. —The Rev.
William Graham, pastor of St. Pat
rick's Church, today celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordi
nation. Father Graham was born in
Ireland in 185 S. He made his theolog
ical studies at the St. Sulpice Seminary
at Montreal, and afterwards attended
the American College in Rome, where
he was ordained March 25, 1882.
A REMARKABLE STORY.
A strange procession dashed into
Valeville yesterday afternoon at full
gallop from the timber out in Putnie
, township.
First there was a four horse team
i hitched to a bobsled on which was
I what appeared to be a very small but
quite long saw log with the branches
only partially cut off and following this
were half a dozen- teapis driven by the
farmers who live out in the neighbor
hood of the old Bremsinen place, and
,whose business in the procession
seemed td be that of providing contin
ual enthusiasm for keeping up speed.
With great haste and noise they
made their way directly to the Vale
ville public hospital and in a very few
minutes later, all the men being quick
ly admitted, disappeared within the
hospital frotc doors, carrying the
heavy log with them.
It seems that Erringe Drave a hired
man, who has been working for Mr.
Bremsine, had been sent by his em
ployer the day before to collect some
money—several hundred dollars —that
was due from a man who lived several
miles distant, and that when morning
came Drave still had not turned up
at the Bremsine place with the money
nor without it. for that matter.
Mr. Bremsine, fearing that his em
ploye had decamped with the funds,
started out to make search and in
quiry, and about noon accidentally
discovered the missing man half-way
up a small tree out in the deep woods,
and seeming unconscious, while all
about the tree were discovered foot
prints of wolves, showing that the
man must have been attacked by a
large pack of these dangerora ani
mals, and, having climbed the tree for
safety, had been imprisoned there by
his assailants till he was overcome by
the cold and was unable to get down
when the morning light drove the ani
mals away.
The unfortunate man was in a
strange position. In order to hold him
self securely in place, he had been
compelled to wrap his arms and legs
around the trunk of'the tree, he being
seated on a small branch at the time
when he was found by those in search
of him. He was so badly frozen that,
even after ladders had been obtained
and they had climbed up to where he
was, he could not be unwrapped from
the tree about which he was frozen.
The neighborhood is thickly settled,
and in a very short time a large party
of strong vigorous willing men had
gathered, and steps were immediately
taken to rescue the dying man if pos
sible. Loads of straw were brought
and heaped upon the ground on the
side of the tree toward which, it would
fall when severed, and then it was cut
down, although every' blow struck on
the trunk hurt the Imprisoned man by
means of the vibration so that he
moaned. Then as much of the tree as
was absolutely necessary was cut off,
and the remainder loaded into a sleigh
to which a four horse team was hitch
ed, and the whole procession set off
for town and the hospital on a gallop,
which was not slackened till the goal
was reached.
At the hospital the very best atten
tion was paid to the frozen man, with
the result that in a few hoors he had
scientifically thawed out, and will not
lose so much as a toe or a finger by
reason of his terrible exposure.
He had lost the money, however, in
fleeting from the wolves, and they had ,
probably eaten it, for it could not be'
found: —St. Louis Republic.
NEGLECTED COLDS THREATEN
LIFE.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)
" 'Don't trifle with a cold,' is good
advice for product prudent men and
women. It may be vital in the case of
a child.. Proper food, good
tion. and dry, warm clothing are the
proper safeguards against colds. If
they are maintained through the
changeable weather of autumn, winter
and spring, the chances of a surprise
from ordinary colds will be slight. But
the ordinary light cold will become se
vere if neglected, and a well establish
ed ripe cold is to the germs of diph
theria what honey is to the beel. The
greatest menace to child life at this
season of the year is the neglected
cold." Whether it is a child or an
adult, the cold slight or severe, the
very best treatment that can be adopt
ed is to give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. it is safe and sure. The
great popularity and immense sale of
this preparation has been attained by
its remarkable cures of this ailment. A
cold never results in pneumonia, when
it is given. For sale by Shuford Drug

SONG OF THE SKYSCRAPER.
Deep rooted down iu the good brown
earth,
From the city's heart I rise;
I grow and grow from the hour of
my birth
Till I reach the o'erarching skies,
Fair is my face from the quarry
freed,
And stFong is my iron frame;
Some say I'm a temple raised to
greed,
And others, the City's Fame.
A city within four walls am I,
Where shadows move to and fro —
Five hundred feet from my flagstaff
high
To the sidewalk far below.
The joyous laugh of the god Success,
Or the bankrupt's harrowing moan
I heed not —pleasure nor dark distress
Ne'er trouble my heart of stone.
The feet of pauper and millionaire
On my corridors daily fall;
They are surging in from I know
not where
And vanish again—that's all.
A graveyard within four walls am I
Where hearts are laid cold and
low —
Five hundred feet from my flagstaff
high
To the sidewalk far below.
I watch men haste with a maddening
rush
To kneel at the shrine of Gain.
A fellow-man in the dust to crush —
The thought of each fevered brain,
But oft a halo illumes the place
With its mesh of tumultuous
cares —
'Tis a Sister of Charity's pensive
face
And the message of love it bears.
I read, for tne modern Sphinx am I,
Life'.s riddle of joy and woer-
Five hundred feet from my flagstaff
high
To the sidewalk far below.
I gaze on the city's wide expanse
At night with my thousand eyes;
[ smile as the moonbeams round me
dance
And stars watch their glad emprise.
But when the dawn comes to guild
my crown
And darkness away hath rolled —
Once more I resume my stony frown
And men rush in quest of gold.
A glittering, bastioncd keep am I,
I reck not of friend or foe —
Five hundred feet from my flagstaff
high
To the sidewalk far below.

Portuguese Crown -Prince is 20.
Lisbon, March 21. —The twentieth
birthday of the crown prince, Luis
Philippe, Duke of Braganza, was cele
brated throughout the kingdom today
with public fetos and merrymaking.
Flags and decorations were displayed
everywhere and the day was observed
as a holiday in all cities and towns.
Prince Luis Philippe, whom rumor
says will soon wed Prince William of
Hohenzollern is a manly young fel
low, well educat'Kl and apparently pos
sessed of more tound sense than many
of the other royal offsprings of Eu
rope. With the general public, how
ever, he is not so> popular as his young
er brother, Don Manuel, Duke of Belia,
who is in his eighteenth year, and who
is-called by the people of Portugal
"Our Own Sailor Prince." It is said
to be the dearest wish of the young
Prince that he may in time be allow
ed to go to the United States in com
mand of a Portuguese man-of-war.
This wish may be gratified this
summer when Portugal will send a
war ship to the exposition at James
town.

Whenever a sore refuses to lieal it is because the blood is not pure ai 1
