Tc&a Laxative DlTOi'S JEISURE ioUIS, OBSERVATIONS OF Some one remarks in Brooklyn Life that bicycles are not now ridden for sport or recreation like they were some years ago. In riding across Long Bicycles for Sport. a wheel, and on his return the only person who shared the path was a man on a motor bicycle who went snorting by in a manner that indicated that he was riding for business and not ior the fun of it. t J t t The following interesting local item appeared in the Chcrlotte Observer some days ago : "Miss Margaret Victoria Cuthbertson has qualified as ex- $100,000 Newspaper in ecutor of tbe wiI1 of hr mother, the late m Charlotte Sarah A. Cuthbertson. Miss Cuthbertson has filed an inventory in which it is declared that the estate is valued at $113,100. The Textile Excelsior, owned by the estate, is valued at $100,000. This is a weekly paper, printed m Charlotte, and devotes itself exclusively to industrial topics. By the terms of the will the estate is left absolutely to Miss Cuthbertson and her brother, Mr Edwin P. Cuthbertson, and Miss Cuthbertson is named as guardian and trustee for her brother." tut It has been said that half of the people of Soriolk are North Carolinians. We doubt if that is true, but It is certain that a large part of the business North Carolinians in Norfolk. The Norfolk Landmark recently had the following to say : "Norfolk is almost as much a North Carolina city in geography and population as a Virginia city. It may be called the largest city in North Carolina with only technical inaccuracy. It may be called the greatest port of both States without any question. The majority of the city's trade is probably with the Old North State." - Hit It is noticeable that the circuit Judges in North Carolina are taking high ground against the liquor habit in (heir charges to the grand juries. The Onr Judges on. The Liquor Traffic. prohibits men from manufacturing liquor. Although we haye this law you have men in this town who frequently yiolate this law. It is so all over the State of North Carolina. They break it for the purpose of gain. When a man does this he forfeits his right to go in and out among his people. He violates his right to go among society, because so ciety is founded upon law. If a mm is permitted to violate the law and go unpunished it is encouragement for others, and so, foremen and gentle men of the jury, for the purpose of protecting society, let no guilty man escape. Some people have an impression that drunkenness is an excuse for crime. It is not so, it is an aggravation of crime. I have been taking notice of crimes and have found that 75 or 80 per cent, of crimes are either directly or indirectly traceable to liquor, and, gentlemen, 50 per cent of the homicides are due to intoxicating liquors." t t t t The acquittal in South Carolina some days ago ot James H. Tillman, charged with the murder of N. G. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State, seems to have been no surprise. The New York A Silling Crowd. Independent Bpek8 of it thus : "What was ex pected has happened, the acquital of ex-Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, who murdered Editor Gonzales on sight in the streets of Columbia, S. C. Mr. Gonzales was not armed, but Mr. Tillman said he thought he was, beoause he had his hand in his pocket, evidence which convinced the juiy that Tillman supposed he was defending his life. Kill ing and acquittal are the rule thereabouts. Tillman's father killed his man in a gambling room before the war. Johnson, one of Tillman's attorneys, killed a fellow lawyer in a court room in Newberg a few years ago. He was acquitted, as usual. The prosecuting attorney killed a young merchant In Saluda a few years ago, and Tillman was his lawyer and helped get the man acquitted who was now compelled to prceecute him. His own ac quital was what eyery one expected, but it will make the life of editors eyen more interesting and exciting than ever." u u Some days ago at the first public rally in Norfolk in the interest of the Jamestown Ter-centenary, which the people of Tidewater Virginia are pre paring to celebrate in the summer of 1907, Handsomely Done Murat Halstead, ot Ohio, was one of tne speak ers. He was in Norfolk on his return from the great North Carolina re union at Greensboro, and was the seventh speaker on the list. Hon. John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, was also one of the speakers. In his paper, The Atlanta News he pays Governor Montague, of Virginia, the following handsome tribute as a monument to the Virginia Governor's tact and cour tesy : "The list of speakers was illustrious?, and Murat Halstead, ot Ohio, was introduced seventh upon the list. The famous old journalist, now al most decrepit, is essentially a writer rather than a speaker, and his earlier words came haltingly and slow. The audience, keenly strung, grew restless and fidgeted in their seats. Some ol them went away. The moment was critical with failure for the speaker, and incidentally for the evening. Sud denly Governor Montague, occupying the center of the stage behind the ker, leaned forward in a radiant attitude of interest and attention. The sentence on the lips of the speaker was triyial, if patrioiic, but the tactful executive smiled and clapped his hands. The Virginians, taking the cue from their courteous Governor, broke into applause and the hour was sav ed to Halstead and to the exposition. It was as clear a triumph ol tact and courtesy as ever radiated a public assembly." i " PASSING EVENTS. Island, a stretch of thirteen . miles, the writer said he passed or overtook only one small boy on men of Norfolk are North Carolinians, and the people of Eastern North Carolina feel great in terest in Norfolk and do much business there. following ringing utterances in Judge Shaw's change to the grand jury some days ago; are sig nificant : ''Gentlemen, we have a statute which ca every Chase City (Va.) PfogfesS: We had an interesting visitor Tues day in the person of old "Uncle" Gil bert Smith, who lives near town. This Remarkable old colored man was born January 15, 1800, and is therefore in his hundred and fourth year. The old gentleman Is remarkably well preserv ed and has a most wonderful memory, being especially apt in remembering dates. "Uncle" Gilbert says he remembers many incidents of the war of 1812 and says he a'ao members a good deal about another war which broke out w hen he was about forty-five years old but does not know what war it was. This, of course, was the Mexican war, and his statement that he was i forty five at the.time substantiates his state ment that he was born in 1800. When the Civil war broke out the old man was exempted from serving on the breast-works force on account of his age, being, as he says he proved to the officers, sixty-five years of age. The old man has lived near Chase City all his life and in the days of slavery had three masters, his first owners be ing Obediah and Bessie Coleman. He next became the property of a Mr. John Gregory and finally of Dr. George Burweli, a dietant relative of Dr- H. L. Bum ell of this place. "Uncle" Gilbert has been married four times and is the father of thirteen children. He says he has used tobacco ever since he was sixteen and in the earlier years of his life drank a great deal of liquor. He says he helped build the first house that was built in Chase City, which was then called Christiansville. This was a dwelling for a Mr. Dick Puryear and was con structed principally of Blabs. The old man's health is good, never having had a doctor in his life, and neither his gait or his animated man ner in conversation betray his advanced age. There is no doubt as to the truth ot his statements about his age, how ever, for all important facts in the his tory of the last hundred years are well remembered by him, as are also the dates of their occurrence, ard a rigid cross-examination failed to tangle him or to bring to light any discrepancies in his statements as to his age. Cored of His Bad HaVit. Los Angeles Times. A few months ago the son oi a rail way director was, through his lather's influence, given a position of some im portance on a large railway. He wi fresh from Cambridge and, in the or ders which he from to t'me issued to the men under him, always made u of the longest, most unusual words. This hi bit led to some rather expen sive blunders and, the matter coming before the general manager, be wrote the young official the following letter : "In promulgating your esoteric cogi tations and in articulating your super ficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observa tions beware of platitudinous ponder osity. Let your conversational com munication possess a clarified concise ness, a compact comprehensiveness, a coalesent consistency and a contacenat ed cogency. Eschew all conglomera tion of flatulent garrulity, jejune bab blement and asinine affectation. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiation haye inel igibility and yervacious vivacity with out rhodomontade or thrasonical bom bast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllable profundity, pompous prolixity, psitta ceous vacuity, yentriloquial verbosity and yaniloquent vapidity. Shun dou ble entendre prurient jocosity and pes tiferous profanity, obscurant or appa rent. In other words talk plainly, brief- y, naturally, sensibly, purely and turthfully. Dont put on airs; say what you mean ; mean what you say, and don't use big words." The young official took the gentle hint and changed his style.
