HMITOIBT
Friends to Assemble to Cel

Fiftieth Year as a North
Carolina Editor.
BEEN AN EDITOR
SINCE YEAR 1875
In All That Time Col. Har
ris Has Never Doffed
the Editorial Harness.—
A Cabarrus County Boy.
By MASON HOOD
Charlotte, Nov, IC.—On Monday
night, November l«th, Charlotte, with
representatives from among the edi
torial writers from the state and
representatives from other professions
in the state, will assemb'e at the
Chamber rs Commerce to celebrate
with Col. Wade H. Harris the round
ing out of his fiftieth yea( as a North
Carolina editor.
It is believed here that Colonel
Harris’ career as an editor trill chal
lenge any in the state for length of
service nnd for volume of editorial
matter written over a period of fifty
years.
*At first..a few friends of Col. Har
ris in Charlotte, learning that it had
been a helf century this year sinee
he entered upon his career as an
editor, had plan qe,] a small informal
dinner. C. O. Kesuter, business man
ager of the Chamber of Commerce,
and E. Randolph Preston, long-time
friend of Col. Harris, started the mat
ter when Mr. Preston made the dis
covery as to the length of service Col.
Harris had put in as a North Caro
lina editor.
Hqwever, the first plans were found
wholly inadequate, ns others learned
of the affair and asked the privilege
of being in on it. The upshot of
it was that the occasion will be made
an event for the city, with the Cham
ber of Commerce sponsoring it Con
sequently, handsomely engraved cards
went out last week from the
Chamber of Commerce, bearing its of
ficial insignia and inviting the receiv
er to be tlie guest of the Chamber of
Commerce,-and the city in an Vbet
to hbnor .one of the state's greatest
: editors. V —'ttlgul .*js |
CStBHel Harris put on the editorial
harness in 1875. and has never put
them off. He is a fine example of
liow one’s occupation, if it is of the
kind to arouse enthusiasm, may prove
n matter of bfth recreation and labor
at the same time. He sayß he has
got lots of kick out of being an editor
fifty years and "has had more fun
thuii most of the boys."
Mr. Harris was born at Sandy
Ridge. Cabarrus county, the son of
Richard Sadler and Mary Annette
Harris, January 1, 1858, three miles
east of Kannapolis,went to town achoo'
under General James H. Lane’s tute
lage for a whilq and later was under
the instruction of B. F. Rogers at
the same school. At the age of
15, he entered the printing office of
The Concord Sun, established and
owned by his itnele. Charles F. Har
ris. He became a proficient type
setter and all-round printer there.
In January of 1875, young Harris
was sent off to B ackshurg, Va. for
« session at the agricultural and me
chanica’ Kco’Vge. now (he Virginia
_ Polytechnic Institute,' and was rher
again under the influence of Genera’
Lane, who was head cf the military
department of the college. He came
- home in the same year and entered
definitely upon newspaper work as
the editor of The Concord Sun.
In the fall of that year young Har
ris went to Wilmington to take the
position as city editor of The Dai’v
Sun printed there. The paper did
n< t ’ast long and the spring of 1880
found him back in Concord. Wli”e
awaiting arrangements for again tak
ing over the editorship of The Con
cord Sun, be did editorial work on
The Greensboro Patriot, in associa
tion with Major Pi F. Duffy. The
Sun came back into his possession in
tlie summer of 1881 and in May, 18&2
be answered the call of Col. Charles
R. Jones to come to Charlotte and
take a position on The Charlotte Ob
server.
In Charlotte h* began in earnest
tlie long editorial career that has
marked him out aa one of the great
editors of the state and of the South.
Accurate and painstaking education
drilled into him in a private school
at Concord, conducted by Misses

MORE LOVE LETTERS
Read at the Rhinelander Suit During
Today’s Court Session .
White Plains, N. Y., Nov. 16.—<A>)
—The fervor of the love letters which
Alice Beatrice Jones, daughter of fi
negro hack driver, first sent to her
husband, Leonard Kip Rhinelander,
during their courtship, gradually
changed to an insistent, threat that,
he would lose her unless he married
her.
Today's series of letters introduced
at the resumption of the trial of young
Rhinelander’s annulment suit, are
filled with demands of marriage, and
at the same time promise the greatest
secrecy until the wealthy young scion
of an aristocratic fnmily should have
attained his majority.
On November 4, 11122, Alice wrote,
“If you can’t come home, I will hata
to go away with some one else.”
It was at this tirqe that Leonard
was attending school. Two months
later Alice was still more outspoken.
“You are going to be mine now or
never,” she wrote. "I have thrown
do.wn two chances for you. I would
keep .things a dead secret. Af
ter you are mine I would keep quiet
until after you are your own boss.”

TREASURES FOUND

All Jewels and Other Trea

Be Taken to the Museum

KING WAS ONLY
BOY AT DEATH
Evidence That Body Was
Greatly Emaciated Also
Found by Diggers in the
Tomb.
Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 10. —OP)—The
treasures found in the tyimb of the
boy king Tut-Ankli-Amen soon will be
brought to the Cairo Museum for ex
hibition. Meanwhile, ns they arc be
ing furbished, the tomb will bo clos
ed to visitors.
The evidence thus far adduced
through an inspection of tlie mummy
and its oqffin of gold, tends to show
that it is I hat of it male not yec an
adult, and that when death enm'o. the
persoli was greatly emaciated. The
mummy was not removed from its
case, hut .instead, the wrappings about
it were ebt through from tlie neck tc
the feet. Owing to tlie fragile eondi
•tion of tin- wrappings, the greatest, care
had to be exercised.
TUT WAS VOI’TH AND
LOADED WITH JEWELS
Some Wrappings of Mummy Car
bonized—4>c:ns ami Gold Beyond
Expectations.
Cairn, Egypt, Nov. 15.—An official
communique issued by the ministry
of works describes the difficulties
encountered in the examination of
the body of Tut-aukli-nmen and the
many rare and interesting objects
brought -into the fight of day. The
body was not removed from the
coffin, but the wrappings were cut
away, exposing the mummy wnich
proved to be that of a male not yet
adult. The communique says:
“On November 11, in the presence
of government and scientific repre
sentatives, Howard Carter began the
examination of the mummy of Tut
unkh-nmen. .which was oprried on in
side since the mummy could not be
caftin witbstii in
jury. The outer surfaces of -' the
wrappings, which were in a verv
frngilc condition, were first eonsoli
dated by means of n thin coatmg of
| melted parnfin wax after which
Professor Derry made a longitudinal
incision from mask to feet. The
outer coverings on being turned bnek
exposed a layer of wrappings which
sere5 ere equally carbonized and decayed.
t these circumstances an orderly
unwrapping was manifestly impos
sible. '
“Ah the work proceeded a Ihrge
number of interesting and beautiful
objects were gradually revealed. At
each stage of the* procodings both
written and photographic records
were taken. Among* the objects
brought to light the more important
were amulets and collaretts, a superb
gold dagger with crystal handle,
bracelets of intricate woramauship.
a larger number of finger rings of
divers materials, some having scar
abs bearing the king’s name for their
bezels (settingl. -a second dagger
more beautiful than the first, Severn
large in'aid pcst-rals, bead work or
naments. gold circles, etc.
“Until the 13th the work of un
covering the mummy had proceeded
only so far as to express the lower
part of the body and limits. Accord
ing to the opinion of the anatomical
experts the evidence to the present
reveals without doubt that the body
is that of n male, not yet adult, in
a much emaciated conditioin.
“Carbonized on the feet are golden
sandals and between toes and fingers
were golden staes- So far no trace
of documents has been discovered.
“Both forearms were loaded with
magnificent jewels. The jewelry dis
covered upon the kingfi who lies in
a coffin of solid gold, is far beyond
expectations.
‘ “Work of such n delicate nature
must necessarily proceed slowly. The
cleaning and restoration of these
wonderful objects will begin immedi
ately after the examjpation 'of the
mummy is finished. For this reason
and in order that they may be trans
ported to the Cairo museum for' ex
hibition ns quickly as possib’c, all
visits to the tomb and the laboratory
must be suspended until the work is
finished.”

Pickpocket Gets 45 Cents From
Prof. Horace Williams.
Raleigh. Nov, 14.—Prof. Henry
Horace Williams, of the university
Tonartment of menta’ and moral
philosophy, saw North Carolina take
a Treat gang- from Davidson col- j
ego this afternoon, but he did not '
see a pickpocket take 45 cents anil
an old purse from hint-
Prof. Williams was coining
through the big crowd from the fur-1
ions encounter which earlier had in- %
dicated something of highway rob
bery on the part of Carolina’s eleven,
“he pthi’osopher of the faculty is
heard this often. Anyway, he paid
Dr. Williams a rare compliment by
drawing the professor’s so gently
that the right hand knew not what
the left did.
MV. Willinms enjoyed the game
more than 45 cents worth and is
quite convinced that the thief thinks
the Williams wealth greatly over
rated.
Honesty is best whether it is
policy or not.

Mr. Pntierson fertilized his cotton
I with acid phosphate and a couimnu-
I tion of nitrate of soda nnd potash,
at a cost of less than $6 per acre.

cotton in the fields.
Mr. Patterson is also harvesting
more than double the average yield
of corn in the county nnd his farm
is not located in a s otion that nns
a naturally fertile soil, the county
