Oh, may it b the weather turns warmer. The petrified gentleman is in the public eye again, some of the parties connected with his career getting into court at Asheville. Every month of this year Be far made for itself a record. Next Saturday is the last day on on which you pay poll tax and save your vote. The jury did not try to take from Mr. Godfrey the money that was to him for the stolen bonds. The voting population North Carolina will be cut off consider- ably if all the persons who owe poll tax do not pay by the first of May.

But what has become of Dewey Somebody asked that the original Parker man come out in the open, whereupon the Lexington Dispatch arises the claim that it was the first newspaper in North Carolina to advocate his nomination. Some of us can rest n y Milwaukee gives t. i information that the war ;. East has not affected the price of ilks. Rumor has it that the Coast Line, instead of the; is the real of the Norfolk Southern railroad which was sold a few ago. On May 20th the Charlotte Chronicle will issue a special for the benefit the Thompson orphanage. Prominent Charlotte women will be in charge of it. Senator Simmons has expressed the opinion that the delegates from North Carolina to the national con- should be instructed, lie thinks the delegates will be in favor of Parker anyway, but deems it best to instruct them.

The Greensboro Patriot says the government has been swindled out of instead of as first stated. Let the lights be turned on and see who got this money. That sounds more like it.

This was done and he was quickly convicted- Then his attorney went to the Court with it, where the verdict was approved. Now his attorney is making efforts to get into the Supreme court of the States on the ground that there was not a name in the box from which the jury was drawn. The incident moves The Washing- ton Poet to now, by the way of dis- adherence to orderly processes, and, to the same ex- tent, stimulating mob violence, this attorney comes to Washington seek- the delay if not the total denial of justice.

Be careful what yon say. It is just as easy to speak a cheering word to a weak brother as it is to give him a kick. The kick may send him to the dogs and disgrace his family and friends, while the word of cheer may lift him out of the mire and hint to set his feet on the solid rock that leads to good honor.

St. John's day will be on Friday, June 24th. The month with the glorious fourth in it comes in on Friday. Autumn begins on Friday, 23rd. In 1781 Lord Cornwall surrendered on the 21st nay of October. That is a Friday this year. St, Simon and St. Jude's day is on Friday, October 28th, The greatest meteoric sheer ever known was on 1883. That day is a Friday in 1904.

A Man Surrenders Himself fer Crime Committed Over Three Years A strange case of conscience stricken thief was before United States Commissioner Hill day. He was James Wiggins, a young white man and on 1900, he stole a wheel belonging to the late Sam Biddle, which was on property, having been placed against the post office building at the time. A few days after the theft he was captured at with the bicycle in his possession, but before the papers could be served on him, ho escaped and ever since been evading arrest. United states marshals and their deputies have been searching for him be foiled them many times.
