Stanley lost one of Us most prom inent and Influential citizens yester- uay morning In the passing of Mr. Albertus Rhyne.

Tne runerai was conauciea by the pastor. Rev. S. L. Cathey, as- slsted by Rev. Mr. Little, pastor of Castania church. Interment was In the cemetery at Stanley. Was Covered With Frost. A two-year-old negro child, Wil liam Linwood Camp by name, was found Sunday morning about seven o'clock lying under a cedar tree In the big wooas on me Caldwell place, in the Union neighborhood. It had lain there all night and when found was covered with white frost and was stiff and apparently dead, Dr. G. R. Patrick was hurriedly sent for and the child was found to be all right after a little thawing-out pro cess had taken place. The child had followed its mother, Malinda Camp, into the woods Saturday afternoon while the latter was hunting wood. The mother did not return to the house the way she went and conse quently the little fellow wandered off and got lost. So far as known It didn't even suffer a "frost bite. Mr. T. L.

By the omission of the two little words "et als" a serious error crept inadvertently into a paragraph in the proceedings of the civil session of Superior Court as chronicled In Friday's Gezette. The paragraph read as follows: "Howard C. Park vs. Craig ft Wilson, Judgment for plaintiff for $1,333." The fact was that the Arm of Craig and Wilson was one of about 20 defendants in this action, the judgment, of course, resting against them all. Unbanked Money Stolen. Monroe Enquirer. When Mr. W. M.

Weil-Known Citizen of York County Pusses Away at Advanced Age- Clerk of the Court for More Than Twenty Yean Well-Known In GuHtonla. Much sorrow was felt In Gastonla yesterday morning when the news reached here that Mr. J. F. Wallace, one of York county's oldest and best- known citizens, had died In the early hours of the morning. Mr. Wallace was known to quite a number of Gaston lans and had business Inter- est8 here which brought him to Gas- tonia occasionally. He was an uncle of Mr. I. A. Campbell and a cousin of Misses Maggie and Eliza Barnett, of Gastonla, who left this morning on No. 39 for Yorkvllle to attend the funeral which took place at eleven o'clock this morning. The Yorkville correspondent of The Charlotte Observer sends that paper the following brief sketch of deceased which appeared in its is sue of this morning: Mr. Joseph F. Wallace died at his home in Yorkvllle this morning at about 2 o'clock, in the 79th year of his age. Few. if any citizens of York county have ever been more universally esteemed than was Mr. Wallace. Shortly after he returned home from the war between the States he was elected clerk of court and held the position for about twen- ty-two years, finally retiring in 1886 or nis own volition, notwithstanding the fact that he could have continu- ed to hold the office indefinitely had he so desired. After retiring from office he devoted his time to looking after his private interests, being en gaged in no regular business. He was a prominent member of the Presbyterian Church and took an ac tive Interest in its work. He is sur vived by two daughters, Mrs. W. F. Marshall of this place and Mrs. W. W. Dixon of Winn8boro. THE QUICKEST WAY. How On Might Travel 190 Miles In About Ten Minute. It Is estimated that If all mechanical difficulties could be removed and suffi cient power developed the minimum time In which passengers could be transported over the eighty-five miles from New York to Philadelphia would be six minutes and forty-four seconds and for the 190 miles from Boston to New York ten minutes and four sec onds. A correspondent of the Scien tific American who has been working on the problem says that the trains would have to be run In a vacuum to prevent their being heated to incan descence by the resistance of the air. They would have to be held In sus pension In the vacuum tube through which they traveled, for the slightest contact with the sides of the tube would result in enormous friction. The cars might be held In suspension by the propulsion of opposing magnets on the cars and on the tubes respec tively. When thus isolated they could PrPe,,ed only by the power of magnetism. The energy consumed in propelling the cars would be compara tively low. To avoid shock or Jar the trains would travel faster and fustcr until one-half of the distance should be cov ered and then slow down until the destination should be reached. When the rate of acceleration is Just such as can be borne with comfort the limit Is attained. The effect on the passen gers would be a continuous pressure against the back of the seat, as when a car is started suddenly, for the first half of the Journey, and then In order to prevent them from pitching out of their seats the chairs would be turned In the opposite direction for the rest of the journey, during which the same sensation would be felt. At the speed named the passengers would be traveling for each half of the distance one-third as fast as they could fall through the same space un der the attraction of gravity. The Two Angels. The following allegory is told among the Turks: Every man has two guardian angels. one on his right shoulder and one on his left. In doing good the angel on the right shoulder notes it down and sets a seal upon It, for what la done is done forever. When evil Is com mitted the angel on the left KSoulder writes it down, but he waits until mid night before be seals It If by that time the man bows his head and says, "Gracious Allah, I have sinned; for give mer the angel blots out the fault, but If not he seals it st midnight, snd then the angel on the right shoulder weeps.

The Game Vastly Different From That of the Ninth Century. Chess is but a game, a pastime, a relaxation, but It has at times ab sorbed the faculties of the Intellectual In every clime. Perhaps the greatest eulogy on the game was the remark of Sir Walter Raleigh. "I do uot wish to live longer than I can play chess." It Is certain that those who do not play the game are quite unable to form any conception of the high intel lectual delights experienced by the chess enthusiast. The origin of chess has been sought In vain. The fact Is the game has so changed, developed and Improved down the course of centuries that In Its present form It would not be rec ognized by its Inventor, if there ever was one. The oldest chess problem on record Is thought to be that contained in an ancient Persian manuscript at tributed to Caliph Kalifen Mutasin Blllah. who reigned In Bagdad A. D. 833 to 842. But the reader would have to learn the old rules before It was Intelligible. For example, the queen could make a move of only one square at a time and that on a diagonal, but a queen promoted from a pawn was allowed to make a move of two squares diagonally. The bishop had no power over any square except the third from which It stood on Its own diagonal line, but It was allowed to vault over any piece that happened to be between. In short. It was a totally different game. Chess In the precise form In wblcb we know It and play it today Is a comparatively modern game. London Strand Magazine. Amending a Proverb. There are a lot of Billy proverbs knocking about Take, for Instance, "If pigs had wings they would fly." Now. this is absurd If you like. Do you know what sized wings a pig weighing eighty pounds would requlr in order to fly? They would measure about thirty yards from tip to tip. A nice state of things to keep pigs in an aviary with wings of that size! The proverb would run much better: If piss could fly Pork would be blsh. London Scraps. The Right Way.

A man known roundabout as a lover and possessor of fine horses was) lately driving one of his favorite- steeds along a suburban road when he came upon auother horse lover, al most as well known, who was driving In the opposite direction. Seemingly pleased to meet each other, both drew up alongside. "I heard only yesterday that you'd, gone away and brought back a new thoroughbred," greeted the second horseman. "Yep," gleefully returned the first horseman; "I'm just after leaving ber back home while I give this horse m little spin for his liver." "Think she'll suit?' asked the sec-, ond man, squinting good humoredly. "Well, you know my style, old man. She can step along In the best class, and she's got a pedigree eclipsing any around here." 1 "How long have you had her?" "Just four days," answered the first horseman in the same gleeful tone, "but I've had my eyes on her for some time back." "Carried this deal through a little en tile quiet, didn't you?" "Yep." laughed the first man. wltn a bead shake of satisfaction. "Is she a record breaker?" "Sure thing; wouldn't have any other. Walt till you fellows get a glimpse of her, and if you don't agree that I've still got my eyes for winners I'll eat the tall off that horse there." Suddenly the second horseman lean ed over toward his friend and thrust out his hand in palpable earnestness. "Accept my congratulations," said he, "and also give 'em to your your thoroughbred V "I will!" heartily returned the other man, gripping the proffered fist "Be sore to come in and see us." he added as bis friend prepared to drive on. "I know she'll be tickled to meet a friend of mine; she isn't too high hitched for that, old man. That's her winning quality. She's a wife fit for a horse judge!" Detroit Free Press. Governor Kitchln will open the tuberculosis convention which meets In Greensboro today.
