Fisk is now in posses sion of the sword of Marshall Ney, the famous French general, Napol eon's right hand man and the general, ho, by his bravery and courage, con tributed greatly to the sucess of the World." The sword, until lately, belonged to Alex W: Maas, and was the treasured heirloom of the Maas family. It was bought by George Potchernick and later sold to Mr. Fisk. Though the French .. Eagles were forced back from the land of the Czar by the burning of the Russia capital and the inhospitable, snows, Bona parte continued to sway , the -rest of Continental Europe, and one year af ter the horrors of the retreat from the empire of the Russ, Ney was sent by his imperial master to ' preside over the capital of Prussia.

' Talking about the Mexican people to: the Charlotte Observer. Rev. J. O. Dale, for years a missionary of the Associate r Reformed Presbyterian Church at K10 y erde. Mexico, ex presses the opinion that tho Mexican people' would be disposed to unite to repel a foreign invasion. He attaches little importance to the talk of. Villa that be would tight the united states States. . Villa may mean that now, savs Mr; Dale, but these promises can't be depended : upon. Further Mr. Dale says: 'I yvl -: " The common people are ignorant and know nothing except that which happens -around them.- vl heir, only idea of the whole situation is that Wall street wants the mines and oil wells of Mexico' and haa sent ;' the United States troops to take them. Very naturally, then, the people con ceive it their duty to unite - with Huerta and all other factions of the country to repel the common enemy.

Atlunta, April 28. The first bloom and glamor of grand opera in Dixie have with stood the wear and famil iarity of five years. Not iu that first wonderful season when it was all new to everybody; not in any of the suc ceeding seasons when the gate re ceipts ana crowds kept getting steadi ly Digger; never Derore in opera s history -have all the eiraumtarnces eoiv spired to make the opening of grand opera more brilliant. Though variable weather had been the rule in Atlanta up to yesterday morning the Monday sky dawned de- uciously clear and the day that fol lowed was full of that glorious goldeu springtime haze that made Seotti and Caruso declare ' that nothing in far away Italy could equal the Georgia climate. "I -, Atlanta, which has always played in phenomenal luck on the question of weather during opera week, has played in equally remarkable, luck about tho stars. In New York wheii program for a week is outlined a couple of months ahead some of the big stars almost invariably develop a cold or an illness or a fit of temper or something that in the general Aver age prevents some of them from ap pearing. For the Atlanta season they are all here; and all in fine health and spirit. , Caruso, Farrar, Gadskiy, Amato, Gilly, Ober, Rappold, Berger, Toscamm and good old SHerr Alfred Hertz, with the shiny dome and the black flowing whiskers, greatest of all living Wagerian conductors they are all here all sailing around the town in the automobiles of 'their friends, all tangoing and (hesitation waltzing at the clubs, all motoring out into the country to pick flowers like a lot of happy children. t You can laugh at it if you want to, and compare Atlanta to a small town gone circus mad. You can make fun of it with some justice but you can't beat it not on the top side of the earth, ' "Chicago Joe" to Hang for Murder. Bridgeport.

(Stonewall Jackson) Smith, former postmaster at Porter, SUnlytr mon New York folk -V "! of the Federal Court this morning to the. federal prison at Atlanta for a term of a year and a day. Through bis attorney, ft. L. Sm-.th, of Albemarle, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and argument was made for leinency, which was con sidered by the court and the least sentence possible given the man. The case came tip some time last year, f orter is a small station be tween Albemarle and Norwood. Smith was the postmaster. A cripple living at Porter was in the nabit of getting letters with money in them. These were in response that he made for aid. Missing his money and the depart ment coming in to investigate led to the arrest of the man. When he ap peared in court his submission made a jury unnecessary. In sentencing the defendant Jude Boyd spoke with a good deal of feel ing. He said that he would like to be merciful with all such, that his nature was to deal in all kindness, but that his obligation to the govern ment and to society made it impossi ble to pass them by. "POWHATAN" AT DAVIDSON. Concord Play Given Enthusiastic Re ception at College Town. "Powhatan," the Indian opera was presented at Davidson last evening by a company composed of Concord ians. Tihe play was witnessed by a large audience and the receipts amounted to $97. The Davidsonians gave the Concord opera stars an en thusiastic welcome and the play was highly pleasing as evidenced by the applause and frequent encores. The caste was the same as the one, ren dering the play here, with the excep tion of Mr. John A. Kellershberger, of Greensboro who played the part of Powhatan. Following the play the members of the caste were tendered a reception by the Davidson students. Two Ladies Worked the Roads. Statesville Landmark. ' Mr. E. R. Wilkinson, carrier 011 ru ral route 3 from Statesville, is about to be made advocate of woman suf frage by an incident which ocurred Jon his route a few days ago. There was a very bad mud-hole 111 the road near St. Martin's Church.' One day Misses Myrtle and Resh Lawson, daughters of Mrs. M. L. Lawson, undertook to drive through it and got stuck. The next day the Misses Lawson went out and filled it ith pine brush and dirt, shoveling into it probably a wagon load of dirt. Enough of this would not only make Mr. Wilkinson favor giving the vote o the women but taking it away from the men. We talk about Iredell being "a county that does things," and it is. We boast of our' good roads, and we have them. But upkeep, especially of the cross-country roads that have noe been improved, seems to be an unsolv ed problem. In order to get away from their home these two ladies bad to do the work men ought to have done; that isn't something to boast And if the women had the bollot some of the problems the men let go unsolved would be solved minhty quick.
