RANKIN. v Popular Young Man of Mount Holly Succumbs to Typhoid Fever—Fun \ end and Burial at Mount Holly Yesterday. Mr. Charles Cleveland Rankin, aged 23 years; son of Mrs. Mattie Rankin/died at his home in Mount Holly at 5 o'clock yesterday morning after an illness of some time. with typhoid fever. Mr. Rankin under went an operation for appendicitis about two months ago, and while he was able to be up. be had not fully recovered from the effects of the op eration when he fell a victim to fever. Previous to his illness some months ago Mr. Rankin had held positions in Charlotte, first with the Ed Mellon Company and later with the Tate Brown Company, and was well known to many Charlotte people, a number of whom attended the funeral. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Presbyterian church at Mount Holly by Rev. W. M. Kincaid, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Charlotte, of which Mr. Rankin had been a meifaber for some time. The deceased young man Is sur vived by his mother, Mrs. Mattie Rankin, five sisters, Mrs. C. E. Mc Lean, of Gastonia, and Misses Ida Essie, Annie and Lollie Rankin, and one brother, Mr. Ivey Rankin, and was a nephew of Mrs, H. D. Shelton, of. this city. Among thoBe from Gastonia who attended the funeral were1 Mrs. C. E. McLean, Mrs. J. B. B, McLean, Miss Annie McLean, Mr. afid Mrs. H. D. Shelton and-MUs Ma ry Shelton, Mrs. Lou Kelley and chil dren, Messrs. Joo Abernethy and W. K. Wolfe. Mr. Rankin was a young man of splendid character, and was held in high esteem by all1 who knew him and his death in the prime of young manhood was a distinct loss to the entire community, who sympathise deeply with the bereaved family in their^rrow. Mark Twain on Money. Exchange Mark Twain, at a dinner in New Tork, aald that the recent financial panic had been; caused by the remov al from the coinage of the motto “In God We Trust,” Says the Philadel phia Ledger. . Afterward, Vlth a smile, he ap pended the following to that state? ment: "Of course I am. Jokihg. The pan ic was caused by a wrong idea of the use and value of money. That Is the cause of all money trouhles. “The spendthrift says that money, being round, was made to rtJTl. The miser says that being flat, it. was made to stack up. Both are wrong.” “Strangely wrong, too. In their Ideas about money, are the vetemri Australian gold diggers. These sim ple old fellows, though worth pei* haps a half million or more, live In the simple dugouts and shanties of their early days. They have no con ception of the value for their money they could get In the way of motor cars, diamonds, opera boxes. Their conception of luxury Is a trip to town a silk dress for the wife and maybe a whiskey spree. “Once, lecturing, I landed at tar Aus tralian port. There was no porter in sight to carry my luggage. See ing a rough looking old fellbw lean ing agalnst-a post with his hands in his pockets I beckoned to him and said: “ 'See here, if you'll carry these bags up to the hotel I'll give you half a.crown,’ •" “The man scowled at me. He took three or four gold sovereigns from his pocket, threw them Into the sea, scowled at me again and walked away.without a word.” The "iilly white,” offlce-holding Southern Republicans have secured the nomination (or Taft. They are as persistent a set of political crooks as ever lived, but they get results. Five negro convicts escaped from a railroad construction camp in Hyde county last Friday. A . reward’ of _|25 each has been offered for their refftpture and- return. ■ Albert Cooke, 16 years old, was struck in the head by a bat which flW out of the batter’s hands at Gaff ney last Friday,, and the skull frac tured. The injury may prove fatal. Here is another warning to people iwho don’t stay back at the proper distance. ^jfhe Vice-President. ixjBk ry people care, even tho politicians, about who Is nominated for Vice-President. And yet It Is a very important office, especially In case of tho demlse'of tho President. Mr. Roosevelt has kindly settled all the events for the Republican con vention, hut ovidently considers, the matter of who shall be nominated for Vice-President beneath his notice. Mr. Bryan has arranged tho Denver Convention to his satisfaction, but he too lifts loft the Vice-Presidency so far unrcitled. There Is no excuse for Mr T'o.cevelt unless he desires the allies .*•> select someone who will bo popular in Wall Street, and thus ensure the support of "the Interests" and those who represent (hem. How would J. Pierpont Morgan do? He *s the leading financier and is friendly with Mr. Roosevelt, and Ta't and Morgan should knit the two factions erf the party closer than a brother. As^tlie Republican party cannot move wit. out campaign funds, and plenty o them, the nomination of Mr. Morgan should appeal to Repub lican politicians,, for who could shake the plum tree better than he. There would be no reason for the treasurer cf the Republican National Committoe to beg for funds, for Mr. Morgan wauld only have to assess “the Interests” for the amount ex rected oi them and, they would all “come down." Who v. Ill be the Democratic candi date for Vlce-Prealdent? It Is time to consider the matter, whoever Is nominated for President. But one 'same has been so far been promin ently mentioned, and hot a word of objection has been raised. Francis Burton Harrison Is endorsed by both elements cf tbe party and it would seem has an excellent chance of be ing selected. There Is not much doubt that his .own State will pre sent his name and already a majori ty of other delegates have favorably considered him. As the candidate for President will In all probability come from the West it Is but a political necessity that his running mate shall come from the East.! The vote of the great State, of , Mew York i3 considered a necessity II the Dem< tints shall control the Elec toral College, and Harrison wonld help to win it. His popularity'ex tends to New Jersey, another impor tant and doubtful State, which make! his candidacy of still more couse: quence. It Is not good politics to Rave the i selection ,of tbe candidate for Vice President to the haphaiard work ol the closing scenes of a convention when tired delegates. are often wil ling to a:quiesce In whatever is pro posed and pushed by those with th« greatest physical force. The candi date for v\Hce-President should b« just as carefully considered as those ?who aspire to be President, and now is the tin e to give the qualification! of- thoge mentioned careful attention that no mistake may be made. WHAT IS ITCH DIRT? It is the old Anglo-Saxon name for Dandruff and it’s a good one. II you have dandruff yon have Itch dirt and the little microbes that are pari and parcel of dandruff are working persistent ly night and day aid soon er or later will reach the very lifeol your hair and destroy Up vitality. Then you’ll be bald—Bald to stay —for not even the wonderful rejuv enating properties In Parisian Sage can grow hair after the hair- bulb oi root Is deadi Parisian Sage cures Dandruff. J. H. Kennedy & Co., the druggist, sells It, recommends it and guarantees It; only BO cents a large bottle and your money back 11 it fails to cure Dandruff, Falling Hair and Itching scalp 16-19. _q. 1 The Very Time to Advertise. Exchange. . During the money panic—when dollars ami work are scarce Is the very rirr.e to advertise—the time to reach the pocfetbooks of the men aDd women who buy cautiously and or the le w dollar quality considered. The merchants-that have been carry ing ads all along—every week-day In the year—rare the merchants that have been doing the business, nine times out.of ten. The wide-awake advertising merchant knV>ws that he Is getting new business every day and also knows that It comes from the other fellow—the merchant that doesn't tell bis customers what he has got through the newspapers-^nd is steadily losing out In this day .of rush and close competition. There Is do way of getting around It—ad vertising pays—It is one of the most valuable assets In business. Every succerjfnl business concern Is a liv ing testimonial to printer's ink. The 'fellf'W of yesterday can’t keep pace wj'n the fellow of to-day employing old methods. A wife man knows that. Advertise and stick to it—it pays and pays well. * How do you enjoy the remarkable prosperity and the full dinner pall that Republican policies are giving you? Mrs. Ethel W. tflalr, who killed her husband. Conductor Blair, at Col umbia, months ago, will not be tried at the present term of court at Col umbia, the case having been contln ■ .j-v -i• s'vBSjBtfifC ued. Thirteen men confined In the Rbck ingham jail, Richmond county, es caped Wednesday night. A white prisoner from Hamlet filed his way through the fire escape.

' I “Well,” replied Popoff confidentially, “I’ve had my eye on her. anil ijt fieema to me thnt De Jolldon”— “De Jolldon!” exclaimed i Danllo. “Impossible!", ) “Why Impossible, pray? I think I have as good eyes as any man. I think, sir, I can detect love when I see 1L And from the way De Jolldon looks at the widow—why, man, I don’t know a single thing that doesn’t point toward his being In loVe with her. If” “If I may say so, your excellency,” jnut In Nish, shuffling neryeusly, “I think I could tell you of a/mngle' thing, or, rather,” he added, chickling, “when I say “single’ I mean/married.’ ’’ “Mr. Nish,” Interrupted Popoff, ‘If you can stop wriggling around like an Inebriated centiped long enough to talk plainly, will you do me the honor to put your blitberlngs Into plain words?” “Well, your excellency,” stammered Kish, “I happen to know M. de Joll don Is already head over heels In love with a lady who has a husband. He”— “Mr. Nish,” thundered Popoff, “yon are demeaning yourself to the con temptible act of talking.scandal! Are you aware of that, Mr. Nish? If so, go on talking it and tell me who she Is.” “Yon fool!” whispered Danllo In Nish’s ear. "Everybody bnt the am bassador himself knows it is Mme. Popoff whom De Jolldon loves. Be careful!” “Well, Mr. Nish,” repeated Popoff majestically aa he eyed the squirming clerk with lofty majesty, “I'm wait ing to hear the nariie of the lady that De Jolldon Is In love with.” “He—he neglected to tell me, yonr excellency,” sputtered Nish. “Then,” decided the ambassador, "I shall discover her by diplomatic ipeans, and when I find who she la she shall nse her Influence to lnre De Jolldon away from the widow. Prince, will yon help me In this?" "Leave It all to me,* suggested Da nllo, with startling willingness. “Don’t try to learn her Identity yourself. Let me attend to the whole mftter.” “All right,” consented Popoff. “It will be a good lesson In diplomacy for you. Perhaps 1 can put you on the right truck.” from blB pocket “Last night at the embassy ball," said he, “Nova Kovltch, who used to be one of my attaches, brought me till a He was crazy with jealousy. He'd juBt picked up the fan; said It was Ills wife's and that some man bad written T love you’ on one of- the sticks. He was going home to beat hls wife and make her confess who the villain was when I persuaded my wife to save poor Mme. Nova' Kovltch b> pretending the fan was her own. Ab, but my wife Is a born diplomatist! Nova Koyitch was 'convinced, and I pocketed the fan for future reference.” Danllo took the trinket from Popoffs hands and read the penciled Inscrip tion. Ul J»| . “Why,” he said Be. “this is De Jolldon’* haodwftv>J^^HOw does It happen tOat he"— j' “Then," squealed Popoff In triumph, s“lt Is Mme. Nova Kovltch be loves. The whole thing le absurdly simple when a brain like mine Is brought to bear ou It!” Delighted with hls own astuteness, the ambassador pattered off to join tho other guests, leaving Danllo, fan In hand, blankly facing the astounded lit tle clerk. “Nish,” observed the prince, “do you suppose It’s possible De Jolldon can be ln^ love with Mme. Nova Kovltch as well as with Mme. Popoff?” “I’d—I’d like to think so,” murmured Nish as be started faithfully off In the wake of Ids chief. “I'd like to think so. It—it would- make it less exclusive, less of a monopoly. And to think his excellency never recognized hls own wife’s fan! iWhere Ignorance Is bliss why read pp on divorce laws?” Laying the fan on a nearby table, Danjlo wgs turning away when a voice behind him called mockingly: “Still In rgtreat? So yon are afraid of me!” Whirling about, the prince . faced Sonia. She was bewltchlngly pritty In the blnck and gold Marsovtan dress that Showed to fullest advantage every willowy line of her figure. “I'm not retreating,” he contradicted, “only skirmishing In light cavalry, fashion." “And yon are going away l|ke thatl Oh. you stupid man!” “I can’t tell what you mega^-to'fflS^ swered, puzzled. . — “And I Bhnn’t mil what I mean," she rejoined. “By the way,” she added, “how do you happen to be here? Yon declined my Invitation.” Tm here,” he replied bluntly,, “be cause I’m making it my business to get rid Of every Frenchman who 8bowa signs of proposing to you.” “But why?” she asked in wonder. - “For my own amassment; that’s all.” “Yon—yon don’t happen to be In love with me yourself?" she asked, a tinge of wlstfulness in the light, mockery of h«r tone. 1 ^ “Certainly dot!** he retorted, with suspicious promptitude. “Yon're very, very rude!” she re proved. "But since you don’t love me you ought to be able to give m& good, advice about accepting a man.I really want to marry.” “Oh!” growled Danllo, chagrined. “Then there la some one yon want to marry?” She nodded. "Whoever the man is, he’s after VniiF mntiflv " ha annara/V ‘'No," she contradicted. “He la not— not this one.” “You said ail men were alike.” “This man Is different He loves me.” “Then mrftry hhn.'JlYbat Is it to me? Marry any one you want to. I don't care. And I'll dance at your wedding. I'll dance till 1 wear holes through both my shoes.” “You silly boy!” she scoffed. “You’re > Jealous!" “Jealous?” he^cgged. “Jealous? I jealous?

She picked It up Idly and opened It. The words ”1 love you” met her gase. Quickly she glanced at Danllo. “I understand,” she murmured to herself. “lie vowed he’d never gay It to me, so he’s written It" Noting that Danllo’s back was to ward her, she furtively lifted the fan to her lips., and kissed the written words. Then Its Bhe restored it to the table she whispered: “Just the same.

And now, I sup pose, I shall never see you again, for when I’m married I Bhall live lu Paris." “I thought you were more patriotic,” he sighed. i“It seems hard that you should turn your back on your native land, marry a Frenchman and settle here.” “Yet It Is what I have decided,” she answered. “This is probably the last time I shall wear our native costume or dance our wild national dances. To day’s fete Is a sort of farewell to old times." “No; our dances and costumes would not appeal to a Frenchman. Who Is It yon are going to marry?" “The engagement isn’t announced yet,” she evaded. “Then." be returned, wlthte shrug, "I suppose I shall never know, for 1 leave early tomorrow.” “And you won’t dance at my wed ding?” ‘i’ve told you I would not” “If you won’t” she cried, a sudden Inspiration flashing through her mind and lighting her pale face to daszllng beauty, “dance with me now!” She stretched out her slender whlrt arms with an allurement that no mor tal man could resist m ...

Danilo sprang • forward, v In an Instant the two were whirling madly amid the Intricacies of a wild Russian Mance such as hss for count less centuries been performed from Si beria's lea plain to Tartar steppes—a dance of youth, agility, utter aban don. .■ '• .’ . Yet as they came panting to a halt at the J«tst crashing note of music the face of neither reflected the exhilara tion the swift motion and stirring measures usually evoked. In fact. Da nila's brow wore a very perceptible scowl. Sonia,.tooTwas downcast had her rash experiment failed? “You didn’t enjoy that." said she. “Not especially,” he confessed. "Did ro«r. “1*6. You don’t dance as w.ell as you did.’’’ ’V "You’ve probably grown to prefer French partners,” he replied, piqued at the reflection on his dancing. “From all I hear,” she retorted, "you have little right to reproach me on that'score. You dance a good deal at Maxim’s, don’t yon?” “Now and then,” be admitted. “And with what sort of partners, I wonder?" she scoffed, a touch of acorn in her sweet voice. “With polite ones,” said Danilo Icily. She winced ever so little at the re -proof and usuli unr - ~ . "f suppose yon dance better with them than .with me.” "Possibly," be agreed. “You see, I, too, may prefer French partners.” She rplsed her great dark eyes to bis, a world of meaning In them. “Do you?” she asked, almost In a whisper. Tbe'dtstant orchestra had been play ing again, this time not a native air, but a dreamy, infinitely aweet Vien nese waltz. The opening notes of the haunting melody, though softened by distance were wafted none the less distinctly to the listening couple. Again their eyes met. With n motti.il Impulse they drew toward each other. Then began a dance as different from the stiffly conventional ballroom waits as moonlight differs from a gasoline dare. With more than a hint of the free, marvelously graceful poses of Slavonic dancers. Dsnllo and Sonia be gun their wondrous waits. Throwing herself .back Into the strength of his circling embrace, the girl's outstretched arms swayed like wind blown lilies In rhythm with the music, her light step scarcely tnnehin* earth as the prince guided hr the maxes of the dance SHIBuic up-lo*di • **'i iIiBHIt?1 bestos-llned ■ i.-gB—agg^g COMING EVENTS. _ '2 Jane. * 20th— Gaston County Demo cratic Convention.
