We Wish to call your attention to the fact that it is, and has been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards oi thanks and obituary notices, after one* death notice has been published.

Safety matches were lightly entitled. Some of them will not even strike. For the chiding he gets from South Carolina perhaps Cole Biease gets his balance in praise from the Hearst paper. Another thing to cheer us up: Medical scientists say another 15 years has been added to hu man life. Perhaps after all the installments on everything may be paid up. A BUSY JUDGE. Noting that a move was on foot some time back for a third Federal court district to relieve the work of the two districts now in operation the Union Re publican commented at length and cited instances showing! that, or with the intent of show ing, the judges were not overworked. : The recent story in the Char-1 Iotte Observer showing by sts-1 tistics that Judge Yates Webb is the busiest Federal judge in America should set the Union Republican to commenting again. If the Federal courts in North Carolina sometimes do not get in a full day and are apparent!v no* hurting themselves as was opened by the Union Repub lican, then it is to be wondered j wh|t that paper thinks of the, thre--' judges who altogether do! rot do as much work or turn i rui as many cases as Judge' Webb alone. Some of the judges, two or! thijee of whom do rot pet as much transacted as Judge Webb, tre rot Democrats either. With no id°a of bringing' on a discussion it is. we repeat, a matter of wonder in it what the Union R«r»»'bi»ca” thinks nmv ofj Federal judges in gere:H The paner’s observations might t « extended—snv tn iomefhi,'g IP'-' the scope Carl Ma™-' r- -"--•I when he routed the Term t Dome matter in print. THIS TUNE mviE. “Funny tune, that Dixie." Yes. One of the most interesting, humanlv interesting. feate-os sent out recently bv the NBA news service was thait of a story of the immortal touch of the song as seen in a Northern city. The hupre audience that begins! to tap feet and thrill with the tune—an audience which to a large extent never heard of or felt the feeling of the Old South. Funny tune, yes. No time-ho” orctl patriotic air will ever hold an enu*l place in th« hearts of meh. The great French war so of m»v send men 0*1 to death, vlsd to Sdie, but men have died with a smile and a harmonv-permeated soul listening to Dixie, and hun dreds of others have lived by it, lived jovously in the unknown liltipg gladness of the indescrib able tune. %o the NEA writer it was odd that the song was written be fore Civil war and noting the item W. D. Babinston. Shelby map, adds a bit of information concerning the writing. ft was written by Dan Emmet, a minstrel show player, and written in New York; natives of the big town perhaps know it not. The show with which Em met was travelling at the time wag* wintering in the metropolis an! Emmett through the writ ing ip his spare-time soon re ceived $500. That was all in mo nejj, but before he passed on he never realized iust what he had *ri#tt the world. The writer of Dixie is last remembered in Pix %», an aged man with the A1 minstrels. ■> When he died it was his r i chest that Dixie be played as he was lowered to his last resting place. Perhaps after 411 the crea tor was repaid—repaid through ithe lilting inspiration of the im mortal strains. The negro who introduced the "chain-gang bow” in comt here had a safer knot on his leg. Local realtors say spring 'orrspects are better than ever ibefore. Perhaps they’re impou ;ing the prospects from Florida, where George Abernethy savs ihe shine boys get rich from the dirt thev take from shoes. Dr. Rankin, in charge of the Duke endowment fund for hos pitals, found only one objection to the Shelby hospital. It dees cot have enom/h patients. Per haps the good doctor forgot our H'matic conditions and the fact that we seldom get sick here abouts. There's talk of more Seaboard, extension. Locally. and from Charlotte west, the best thine? the Seaboard could do by the section would be to put on a through Pullman service. Man ager Vanstorv, of Cleveland Springs hotel, says the biggest handicap in bringing the tour ists and vacationists into our sec lion is the lack rf Pullman serv ice. And bringing jn these folks is row the major interest of the’ section westward of Charlotte— Shelby, Ruthcrfordton, Chimney Rock. DUKE’S FID FOR GREAT NESS. Sons of Trinity, now called Duke, will read with interest th> article in the current issue of McNaupht’s dealing with the ore sportive future of the great Duke University, with what it Ltts. will receive and what should he made of it. The article was written for McNamrht’s by Louis I. Jaffc. an old Trinity graduate. row editor of the Virgini»-Pik)t. Duke from a material stand point will be excelled by few uni versities in the world and in hi -1 woven way Jaffe speaks of handicaps that rrav ba*- nresthre md theories of overcoming han dicaps. The fin«d paragraph of the ar ticle reads: "T>nkp has great wealth and a greet > nry-int in which to do useful work. For the work in the vineyard it needs I no further preparation. For the more exacting work in the higher reaches of scholarship, for the service which alone can make a name for it among the world’s great seats of learning, it needs chiefly two things—complete autonomy anil time.” Jaffe’s article should be of much interest to the Carolines in general. Buck Duke and the industrial progress of the Caro Iinas and their people made th ; great university possible. Mine Yields Itum. Joplin, Mo.—A veritable whiskey mire—an elaborate electrically drip ped distillery 250 feet under ground in a sunposed lead and zinc mine at Pich er, Oklahoma, near here—was discov ered and confiscated by Oklahoma en forcement officers.

No arrests have been made. Four wooden vats, each with a ca pacity of 10,000 gallons, were found 1,1 the upper drift of the mine, and four huge copper stills were found in another drift fifty feet lower. Elec tric pumps to force the finished pro duct into a cooling tank in the upper drift were found in the lower drift. ■. here was a selret connection with a i ;ty water line an 1 a secret entrance terough a private garage to the mine shaft, where an electric hist was used to reach the mine chambers. The distillery is believed to be one of the largest discovered in the United . tates since the dry law went into ef fect.
