The American Uice Growers' Distribu
tion company, limited, has been incor
porated at Crowley, La., with a capital
of $15,000,000, half of which is paid.

Vanderbilt, of New York, president; Wil
liam Dusnn, of, Crowley, vice president
and general manager; Alexander W. Hall
burg, of New York, treasurer; James P
McGovern, of New York, secretary.
A Cartoon Coincidence.
The letters "O N" might be supposed
to possess a mysterious charm, ns they
form the termination of many of the
most distinguished names In history.
No other letters of the alphabet will
furnish so remarkable a coincidence as
may be found in the following list
made up from ancient and modern
names: Aaron, Solbmon, Agamemnon,
Solon, Bion, Phocion, Bacon, Newton,
Johnson, Addison, Crlchton, Porson,
Button, Montfaucon, Tillotson, Fene-
lon, Massillon, Warburton, Lelghton
Lytton, Walton, Anacreon,' Ben Jon
son, Milton, Byron, Thomson, Tenny
son, Anson, Washington, Napoleon,
Wellington, etc.
A Greek scholar has called attention
to a very curious coincidence about the
name of Napoleon, If you take away
the first letter of his name, you have
"apoleon;" take away the first letter of
that word, and you have "poleon;" do
this successively down to the last syl
lable, and you have "leon," "eon" and
"on." Put these several words togeth
er In this order, Napoleon on oleon leon
eon apoleon poleon, and you have a
Greek phrase the literal translation of
which is "Napoleon, being the Hon ot
peoples, went about destroying cities."
A Lucid Decision.
A correspondent, referring to a recent
article In Law Notes on "The Gram
mar of the Courts," calls attention to
the . following lucid decision of Sir
John Taylor Coleridge in the case of
Turley against Thomas, 8 C. and P.
103. 34 E. C. L. 312: "It has been sug
gested as a doubt by the learned coun
sel for the defendant whether the rule
of the road applies to saddle horses or
only to carriages. Now I have no doubt
that It does." Law Notes.

Brown's Buttered Watermelon.
Colonel George W. Anderson, a man
of splendid genius and, rare oratorical
gifts, was stumping for Greeley and
Brown down in southwest Missouri.
One night in the midst of his speech an
old fellow arose in the back of the
house and said:
"Colonel Anderson, is it true that
Governor Brown was so drunk at that
Yale alumni dinner that he buttered
his watermelon?"
Colonel Anderson reared back on his
pastern joints, straightened himself to
his 6 feet 2 and with a lion's roar an
swered:
"Yes, It Is true that Governor Brown
buttered his watermelon at the Yale
aluxnni dinner, and I am happy to in
form you that that is the only way in
which watermelons are eaten in polite
society."
Anderson's happy retort was greeted
with a shout of laughter and a roar of
applause by his auditors. His Inter
rogator sat down discomfited, and that
was tbe last ever heard of tbe story
of the buttered watermelon all of
which goes to "demonstrate the value
of Danton's famous motto; "L'andace!
L'audace! Toujours l'audace!"
Colonel Anderson was a wonderful
stumper. He was most emphatically
a rough diamond. In- the rough and
tumble, catch-as-you-can Btyle of debat
ing he never bad a superior in Mis
souri, which Is saying a great deal He
was an adept In the use of every spe
cies of oratorical weapon.-Champ
Clark in Saturday Evening Post.
The Error of Society. ,
The dark blots that divorce makes In
society are too easily seen and too sad
to write much about, so I will give
only a few incidents of the absurd and
humiliating positions In which people
may be placed: I once occupied a seat
on the grand stand at the Newport Ca
sino during a tennis match. After I
had been in my seat a short time, a
man I knew, once divorced, but remar
ried, came in with his new wife and
occupied the two. seats on my left, and
a few moments later the woman from
whom he had been divorced and who
had also remarried came In with her
new husband and sat directly on my
right Whether the. ticket1 agent ar
ranged this for a Joke I am not pre
pared to say, but all went well until I
grew tired of the game and got, up,
leaving the four in a straight row,
which made an Interesting picture for
a few moments.. The four soon realiz
ed, however, what people were staring
and smiling at, and,' looking daggers
at one another, immediately rose and
disappeared in the crowd. The inci
dent amused the lads and misses very
much. '.. .,
A lady I know very well In New
York, who was giving a dinner party,
told me she always dreaded the ar
ranging of her. guests at her tables,
lest she put people together whom the
"law had set apart," as she put It
"It would be perfectly dreadful to seat
a gentleman beside, a lady to whom he
is paying alimony. Smart Set ; "

OVATION TO SIMMONS.
Makes a Speech Urging' Harmony
and Good Feeling.
Raleigh, Nov. 6 Chairman Simmdns
was serenaded at 10:30 o clock tonight
A great crowd gathered and gave him an
ovation. He made a stirring speech in
response to the calls.
Chairman Simmons said:
"My friends and fellow citizens: I
thank you for this splendid demonstra
tion. I am deeply grateful to my friends
of this city, this county, and all over
North Carolina for the efforts they have
this day made in my behalf. The sena
torial fight has been a sharp one. Much
feeling has been displayed and some bit
terness engendered. Doubtless both sides
have said things that had better have
been left unsaid. If my friends have said
anything that ought not to have been
said, I regret it and I am sure they regret
it. Some hard things have been said
nbout ine. I will try to forgive them,
though I may be unable to forget them.
We all belong to the same household; we
are brethren. N ow that the fightisover,
it behooves us to close up ranks and get
together; coone fighting each other; cease
complaining; cease criminations, and re
criminations, and get ready for the next
fight against the common enemy. In tbe
name of the Democratic party,' I appeal
for harmony. Let us bury dur differ
ences, forget dissmsions and present a
solid front. No man ever bad truer and
more loyal friends than I have had in this
contest, not only in this city and county,
but in every county in tbe State. They
have worked hard for me; they have
given their time; they have made sacri
fices; they have worked earnestly and in
telligently. The result is a majority suf
ficiently large, not only to gratify me,
but to vindicate me against any asper
sions that may have been cast against
me in the heat of the contest. Advices
received indicate my majority will ex
ceed 50,000. It has been my ambition
all along to win by as big a majority as
you gave Aycock in August. It may not
quite reach 58,000, which was his ma
jority, but it will not fall far short of it.
It is 6nough and I am satisfied.
"News from .the national election is not
altogether satisfactory, it may be that we
have lost our great leader. I do not de
spair, but news fills me with doubt and
more grief than the joy I feel in my per
sonal triumph. If we have lost Bryan,
it is the nation's loss and to Democrats
of North Carolina who have supported
him so earnestly and so loyally it is a
personal loss as well. What a grand
thing it would have been to have elected
this great man and champion of the peo
ple president of the United States.
"My term as senator will extend for six
years from next March and, if we have
lost, atxthe end of the term beyond all
doubt we will elect our president, and I
will have two years more, .and then we
will take possession of the places now
filled.by the enemy." "

Messages Exchanged Between the
Eminent Democrats Yesterday

Raleigh, Nov. 7. Gen. Julian S. Carr
telegraphs Mr. F. M. Simmons today as

Mr. (Simmons replied:
"Accept my thanks for congratulations
It is my earnest desire, that any dissen
sions in oar party may be speedily healed.
I trust the spirit of your telegram will
meet with universal response from our
party friends and that we may all work
together for the success of the Democracy
and welfare of the State Surely noth
ing snaa be leit undone on my. part to

Interesting North Carolina Items
In Condensed Form.
Durham Herald: An evangelist who
has just cl'ised a meeting in Salisbury
was presented a purse of something over
f600. Of course this was purely volun
tary, but we hope the good old Methodist
brother who has to attend conference
next month will have no trouble in set
tling up his affairs.
A special, Nov. 6, from Raleigh says:
Bad feeling exists here between white
and colored Republicans tonight. Ne
groes say the white Republicans merely
went to the polls and voted for Mc
Kinley, but did not work, and that to
night they went in ex-Congressman
Nichols' office, took election returns and
shut the negroes out. Jim Young, the
negro leader here, says: "The negroes
intend to take charge artd control of the
Republican party in North Carolina.
Our minds are made up. to do this."
Greensbcro Record: The biggest fraud
in the country is the "Old Ilorse" sale
of the express company, held every two
or three years. It is unclaimed freight
and is sold like a bag in the bush, no one
knowiugwhat is being offered for sale.
A darkey paid $1.75 for a package Sat
urday at tbe sale here and when he open
ed it he found he had a bundle of white
supremacy literature left over from the
summer campaign. Of course he was
mad who wouldn't be under such cir- ,
cumstances? Hut the fellow who dances
must pay the fiddler.
Raleigh Post: Dr. Cyrus Thompson,
secretary of state, has received a letter
from Judge Advocate Gen. Samuel C.
Lemley of the United States navy de
partment, asking that the State records
be searched for any record leading to the
discovery of any direct descendants of
Capt. Johnston Blackley. This is for
the purpose of finding some one to
christen the new torpedo boat Blackley
when it is launched at South Boston,
November 22. Judge Lemley says that
it has been discovered that Capt. Black-
ley married a Miss Hoope, of New York,
and one child, a daughter, was educated
in North Carolina. Hence the hope .
which the officials of the department
have of living relatives in this State
through the aid of the secretary of State.
A special from Greenville, Nov. 6, says:
The mayor of Greenville furnishes a list -of
cases disposed of in his court each
week to the Reflector for publication.
The names of Charles John O'Hagan&nd
Charles Jaires were in the list of con
victions for being drunk and disorderly
that appeared Monday, and because their
names were published they intercepted
the editor while going from his office to
bis home Monday night and attempted
to assault him. O'Hagan grabbed
Editor Whichard around the body when
the latter drew a gun. the sight of which
protected him against harm. The as
sailants were given a hearing before
Mayor Moye this morning and fined ten
dollars and costs each. They appealed
to the superior court and are bound over.
Wilmington Star, 6tb: News of a
cowardly and brutal assault by Willie
Jones, a young white man, upon his
mother, Mrs. Jones, at her home near
Whiskey Creek, was brought to the city
yesterday, and Sheriff MacRae with
Deputies Millis and Dr. W. McMillan left
immediately for the sceno of the crime.
From . the information that could be
gathered, it seems that Jones quarreled
with his mother about getting bis break
fast and without provocation struck
her several terrific blows in the face with
a stick, knocking out her right eye and
badly braising her head. The only other
Eirsons in the house at the time were
rs. Jones' two daughters." One of them
was knocked down by the infuriated
man before he left the house. Mrs. Jones
ran to a neighbor's house and fell ex
hausted on a bed. The news spread
rapidly throughout the neighborhood
and in a short time a posse of men were
searching the woods for Jones. The
sheriff and bis posse joined in the search,
but could not locate the villain.
