My be lief is that even though, the facts be as stated the courts will sus tain it as a valid law.

This is true in part, but it means that each room will bring in that amount of money owing to the fact that several persons will be assigned to the same room and each will be cnarged the regular rates. ... Naturally if this is done, and four or five people occupy the same room, an aggregate amount of $12 or $16 will- be the" result. The hotel rates will not be advan ced. The-only difference will be that, whereas one person occupied a single room, during the Re union week several visitors will be assigned to the same room, and will sleep on cots. .No rooms will, be overloaded or crowded. During the Re-union . a limited number of. Confederate Veterans properly identified, will be lodged and fed froo.

C. dispatch to the Atlanta Journal says: The facts in regard to what vii pro bably the foulest murder ever committed in North Carolina have just come to light in Cherokee county, beyond the Blue Ridgo, noar the Tennessee line. Seventeen months ago Charles Mason .and John Sherman, two white men, lef a lumber camp in which they had been employed in Cherokee and were not heard of again until their skeletons vre found a few weeks ago. Working iu ihe Cherokee lum ber camp with Mason and Sher man was a young man by the name of Charles Dunboye. who bore a bad reputation. Under the promise of marriage, he se duced the daughter of a moun taineer, and as a result of his per fidity his guilt as a murderer has now come to light. The young woman states that on the day of the disappearance of Mason and Sherman she saw Dunboye arm himself with a. revolver and. take the trail over the mountains in advance of his two fellow work men. Several days later, while in a confidential mond, Duuboye, swearing his sweetheart to secrecy told her that he had waylaid and killed Mason and Sherman. He added that as soon as matters be came quiet he would marry the girl, since the money he. had so cured from the bodies f the men he had murdered ' would ena' le them to set up housekeeping. Upon the streng h of the young woman's affidavit, a warrant was issued for Dunboye, but he eluded the officers and has not yet been MUd Ki: Sister.
