Elizabeth City. July 22.—William
Thorn** Adam*, who wk* recently no
tified while at work in a hosiery mill
here that he had been bequeathed
three-quarters of a mi'lion dollars
by an English relative, will get his
name in the American Biography of
Noteworthy Citiiens a* the result of

Mr. Ad*ms received a letter Wed

Pre** Bureau, of New York City,
raking for a sketch of his life from
which a biography could be written
Strangely enough, the letter wa* ad
dressed to Mrs. Adams despite the
I fact that the recipient is a bachelor
forty years old. The Bureau, Mr.
Adam* concludes, addressed it in that
fashion on the assumption that he
could not have escaped matrimony fog
I these many weeks after the new* of
his sudden fortune had been broad
i < asted over the country by the papers.

Adams ha* ha* tentative offers of

from every section of the United
Stat«», from member* of the fair sex
ranging from in the teen* to admitted
age* of pait forty years. He says,
however, that he doesn't figure on
getting married by the correspondence
method, but will pick out some girl
not so brazenly anxious to slip the
marital noose about his .leek.
The news of the ■ mill mechanic's
unexpected wealth has also reached
the ears of various promoters and
j. stock sellers in sundry sections of the
I United States, and he is daily be
i seiged with letters calling his atten
' tion to "wonder*®!" investment op

: that he is not interested in these
' Rchemes to increase—or make away

he gets it in hand, he expect* to have
enough for the rest of his life. In
fact, he is evidently not deeply anxious

him for a dime apiaee—and got it.
Since then, it is said, the oil magnate

Number two—A boy waa standing

it to Mr. Rockfeller personally. The
boy got a dime, and John D. Rock

Number three—A lad was lost. He
