Cariaua Canvllcadaaa Oval ■ Crazy Man. SUU*rlll« Lanilsuk. The relations between North and Sonth Carolina are becom ing a trifle strained. Some years ago John A. Leonard, a native of Davidson county, this State, located in South Carolina and married there. Soon after he lost his mind—whether marry ing in Sonth Carolina or living ' there is responsible for this is not stated—and was for eight years confined in the insane asylum at Columbia, Last year Leonard’s father secured his re lease on the express agreement, it is said, that be would take his son to his home in North Caro lina and take care of him, at the same time being warned that he could not return him to the asylum at Colombia. After liv ing in Davidson county for a time Leonard became trouble some and was taken to the State hospital at Morgan ton. After be had been there for a time bis stilus was discovered and the hospital authorities, on the ad vice of the Attorney General, decided that he belonged , to South Carolina, but the South Carolina authorities refused to receive him. Leonard was sent back to Davidson county and this week the Davidson authori ties sent him to Anderson coun ty, S. C., in charge of the sher iff. The Anderson authorities refused to receive him and the Davidson sheriff walked off and left him. Some of the' Ander ’son people gave Leonard money to pay his way to Pelzer, S. C., his old home, and it it sup pored he went there. The Anderson county sheriff *< 'phoned the authorities at Col umbia and his action in declin ing to receive Leonard was ap proved. The superintendent of theaaylnm at Columbia laquoted as saying he thinks the time has come to fight; that they don’t propose to let North Carolina or any other State run over them. At the present, however. North Carolina seems to have the best of the case. We have mccceded » __V_V . a t_rv . ■ iu irwuiu| iauuiuu vu tuc vjwuiu Carolina folks—if he will onlr stay there. We hope that' it may not be necessary to sever diplomatic relations with our sister State, or call ont the miHtia, hut in the present strained relations if tbs Governor of North Carolina was to meet the Governor of South Carolina wfe doubt whether the . latter would even offer him a drink of the dispensary concpe 1 tion. Meantime we nominate Capt. J. W. Copeland, of Statesville, who la a South Carolinian--pro vided he hasn’t formed or ex pressed an opinion on the mer its of this particular case—to go to South Carolina and see if he han’t negotiate a treaty of peace. DrtiaM Trtbww. Muggins bad just been Intro* dneed to a bride of six weeks at a social gathering and after a remark about the weather' he said, gallantly: "And have I really the pleasure of meeting the beauti ful Mrs. Smythe, whose praisca are being sounded by every * ^h, no, Mr. Muggins,” the lady replied. "The beautlfol -, Mrs. Smythe to whom you re for is the wife of my husband’i a misUke somewhere." R** RfV* Wateou smith, of Greensboro, N.

Cktiluton Kcwa and Courier The lay mind is frequently hopelessly perplexed by legal terminology. Documents that come from our courts are often so loaded down with technical phrases, indulge so freely in tautology, and so greatly abonnd in expressions of obscure mean' iug that the uuinkiated person finds himself often adrift upon a sea of ideas wholly uncharted by his own vocabulary. Some such reflection has pre sented itself to ns on many former occasions, bnt it never came more incisively than it did yesterday when reading oue of the concluding paragraphs in Judge Urawley’a decision in the Laurens Cotton Mill c*** Rcferriqg to Mr. Lucas, the learned court said among other things: “That for which he is to be condemned is that having invited a contest for the con trol of the mill, which all the rules of the game required to be fairly played, he has won it by haviug au injunction up his sleeve.” It is impossible for. one not profundly versed in the intri cacies of the law to gather the full import of these allusions. It ia ot course plain to na, as it is doubtless to others, that a criticism of Mr. Lucas ia im bedded ia the sentence we have quoted. We are not informed wheter it. is actual statutory offense to sit into “the game” for the control of a mid with an injunction "up your sleeve.” It may be that it is merely something that the common law, which was evolved from usage among all classes and conditions of men, frowns upon. But these' and other kindred in quiries are naturally raised in the minds of the uninformed by the employment of a tcrmiuol w* >ich is strictly profession It is inevitable, we suppose, that every cult should hsve a vernacular of its own. The verbiage of the bench and bar is doubtless no more peculiar in this respect than is that of the lonowets ot otner callings; bat dealing intimately with af fair* of general concern it must be admitted that it* obscnritiea are to be tbe more keenly rerretted. • A* we aaid before, we are not entirely certain of toe character or of the grievouanen of Mr. Lucas’ offense, but we sincere ly trust that it has not rendered him \ liable to* fine, imprison ment, or both. ‘ ■ Tba Old WajAaw Cematery.

Hamringsvaag, Norway, Ann 10,— The Arctic steamer Ten Nova, which went to the relit of the Piala-Ziegler polar expc dition, has rescued Anthnn Fiala and all the others counec ted with the expedition, wit I the exception of one Norwegiai seaman, who died from nalnra CM**.

Anthony Fiala, of Brooklyn N.

It might truly be said, perhaps, that it bss been a remarkable day for the State at large. William Graham Quacken bush, who died March 9, 1903, held never any political office; be was a poor man. He *u nothing but a schoolmaster. Yet there were men here front States as far distant as 'Texas tc attend the unveiling of a monu ment to his memory—men whe bad- received the direction ol their lives from him. There was little other talk on thr crowded streets of the town ex ccpt of him. "He was tb< greatest man l ever knew." said •his Intimates. There was no body who did not have a tendei word in recollection of him, Quackenbush. the great, good man who never cared to seem oi be called great. Rev. E- L. Kesler of Morgan ton preached the sermon. He said that be bad been in vited to preach a sermon, but a sermon was not the demand A eulogy should be pro nounccd of those who need not of those who deserve it. Hi had no name for the things hi shonld say. bnt he founded then on Isaiah 32:2 beginning, "Am! a man shall be aa a hiding placi from the wind,” and ending "As tbe shadow of a great rocl an a weary land.” As be stood before those pco Pie, whom he knew so well, hi missed one face, be said, that bad never been absent—a great •tronr face, with a deep of in spiretioa.

It will doubtless interest * great uiany Charlotte people, a * well as hundreds all over tk * State, to leant that the famou 1 Great Western Gold Company * the mining enterprise promote! » no extensively by W. P. Fit > about two year* ago, haa be * come involved in legal com * plications. i Tbe Chronicle learn* to da; * that writ has been filed in tbi [ United State* Circuit Court a 1 St. Loois asking for the ap poiotmeot of a receiver for thi I concern, which has its bead » quarter* there. The complain! - filed alleges that tbe mining ■ property now owned by tbi ■ Great Western Gold Cotupanj ! was purchased for $15,000 am! | made the basis of a capitaliza I tion of $12,000,000, and inrthei ■ that several timea that amount of stock haa been sold. Th« plaintiffs ask farther for aa io ' junction to icattmin tbe com pany from disposing of any ol Us. assets or property. If tbe allegations set forth in the complaint are true it prob ably means the sudden and in glorious end of tbe vesture ex ploited so extensively ia Char lotte and North Carolina. No estimate could be secured to day of the amount of stock held iu Charlotte, but it ia knuam that a number of buaineaa men and aotne prominent professional tnen here bold certificates ol stock, and that some of them are interested in the future of the Great Western Gold Compa ny to tbe extent of several hun dred dollars. A list of stock holders would make “mighty interestin’ readin’," but for obvious reasons is not given. Col. Fife used page, after page oi advertising space in North Carolina dailies, setting forth alluringly the prospects of tbe undeveloped riches of the Great Western mines, and tbe stock was taken up about as fast as the promoters could serve the certificates. Col. Fife is said to be in Portland, Oregon, at present at tending the exposition, but the Charlotte stockholders of his mining venture are confidently expecting some tidings of him by letter or otherwise in a few days. What they are anxious to know is whether the certifi cates they baye been carefully nursing arc worth what they paid to secure them or whether they are valueless bits of paper. Dm1!

Dr. Richards has tamed the re sneet and esteem of all to whom r these presents may come. Wi wish him long life and wide cel ebrity. The other day Dr. Richards received a telephone message stating that several man bad been injured ia an explosion ia the Kirwin gold mine near Hoc tcetae, 100 miles away. He was asked if be could come and do wbat he could to relieve tbe cof fering of the wounded. His re sponse was instant. "I am com ing as qoickly as I can get there," he said. The road from ThermopoUa to Meeteetse is not paved with asphalt. .It winda through rag Kd bills and in many places 7s . t a half-broken trail. Ordina rily it takes about two days to drive or ride from Thennopolis to Mecteelsc. Dr. Richards did it ia less than eleven boors. If be hsd consulted bis own com fort be would have gotw slowly or not al all. He arnnlH on* have ridden at breakneck speed along the rough trail, dismounting horn a jaded hone at times to mount a fresh one. Bat men were coffering, perhaps dying for lock of medical or sorigical aid that only*Dr. Richards could give, and ha knew it. Happily he arrived in time to relieve the distress that occas ioned bis rids against death. We hasten to pay our tribute of respect to Dr. Richards. He is a man among men. He will say he only did bis plain duty, but there are doctors who would not have goae to Mectcetae. Fortu nately. though, they are few. As we have heretofore bad occa sion to remark, no profession contains as many self-sacrificing men as the medical profession, none contains as many men who connt personal sacrifice, bodily discomfort, danger to themselves as' of little Importance when weighed in the balance with the suffering of others. Dr. Richards is not as excep tion- Rather is be a type of bis profession. Right wall baa he proven bis right .to a place la tka great army of medical men. w"r-f "fn-irds Mmiw U— Itw.
