WAKE COUNTY TREASURER
MIR. Bridgers Fails to Give Bond
and Mr.. LOugee is Elected
by the BOrad.

NeWs-ObBeryer.
The matter of a new county treas.
urer for Wake seems to be one of
many vicissitudes. At q meeting of
the county commissioners last week
Mr.. L. o. Lougee, the democratic can.
didate who had been declared elected
to that Office, declined to quality, it
being understood that Mr.. Bridgers,
the Republican candidate, would
have been elected if the returns of the
fourth ward of Raleigh township,
which were thrown out, had been
count,d. Thereupon the board ell, CT
ed Mr.. Bridgers, and gave him till
yesterday TO give bond ard qualify.
Yesterday the board met and Mr..
Bridgers appeared before them ard
stated that he had been unable 20 far
to obtain his bond and requested that
the board extend his time till Janu-
airy LIST. This. however. the board re-
fused to do, but instead elected Mr..
Lougee treasurer and gave him till
December Gath to give bond and
qualify.
. Under these circumstances Mr..
Lougee will accept the Office and ex-
poets to have his bond and be ready
TO qualify on the date set and in all
likelihood he will be the next treas
trer Of Wake county.

Cotton Mills continue to run on full

Mary BartoPs Breach of Promise Suit
Against General Eokert Again Pressed.
WOOSTER, OHIO, Jan. 81 Among the
cases docketed for hearing by the Circuit
court, which viii convene here next
Tuesday, is that of Msry Bartol w.
Thomas Thompson Eckert. The case is
rather sensational one, and originated
nesrly half century ago. The plaintiff,
now q widow, residing here, wss then
Miss Mary Flemmipg, belle of this city,
where the defendant, now General
Western Union Telegraph Company, was
an apprentice in harness shop. Your 2
Eckert WAS particularly attentive to Miss
Flemming, and tbs r marriage WAS antici-
psted By the coma unity. In fact, Miss
Flemmiug had gone so far as to prepare
her trousseau. According to her recital
Of the affair, she had accepted Eckert as
suitor, and the wedding was to have
taken place st Massillon one night In the
winter Of 1912.
The young couple were to accompany
sleighing party to Msssillon, and while
there were to be welded quietly and then
surprise their friends by the announce
ment Of the union. The sleighing party
went to Massillon, but the groom-elect
failed to take Miss FIemming thither. Ste
states that this neglect on his part WAS
due to dispute with his father, who
opposed his marriage with her. Young
Eckert's visits to the FleumiGg residence
became less frequent, and finally terni-
mated entirely. Then the young lady in
stituted legal proceedings for breach Of
promise. A jury in the Common Pleas
court gave her q verdict OF $500 dam
ages. The judgment was never satisfied,
efforts have been msde to collect
the. money. Both Miss Flemming and
Eckert entered the matrimonial state, snd
the woman is now a worthy widow of
Wooster, ana Eckert is well known by his
connection with the Western Union
Telegraph Company. Sympathy in the
matter is with the woman, as the opinion
is that she should have received the
money long ego. Counsel for the de-
Tense have endesvored to hsve the case
dropped on account of some technical
point regarding the statute of limitations.
The judgment had been renewed and the
question of its renewal is yet to be finally
decided, hence the appeal to the Circuit
court.

The Plan of Physician to Keep Himself
Keyed Up on Opium
GnA
Sab Francisco Chronicle.


Sab Francisco Chronicle.
One of the most peculiar cases is that
OF doctor who VAS formerly one of the
finest practitioners Of the west. Coming
from IN excellent family, possessed of
large wealth, he received liberal educe-
ton, and deciding to become physician,
studied st one of the best eastern col
legee, and graduated with unusual
honors. Many years ego ne came &c Ssn
Fran cisco, and, stter having been estsb-
llshed here for slort time, begSn to &C
quire fine practice. La f985ears he
had among his patients some Of the most
prominent and wealthy men CT the city
He hcd occasion 10 use q lstge
quantity Of chlorofcrn in his zeIt-
ment, and when he began TO be trsHbled-
with insomnia, the result Of repesEed az
tscks Of neuralgia, he also turned TO nc
sthetic for relief. But thss reHedy
subsequently proved to be worse than the
disease, for with repeated applications he
found that he WAS unable to discontinue
its use, and soon became confirmed
user of the drug. He would frequently
return TO bed during the early part Of the
dsy for the purpose of enj oying the drug,
and not night passed ne did not avail
himself of its sleep-producing powers.
The cunning of the insane mind began TO
devise means to add 70 the enjoyment Of
the body, and finally evolved an idea
which must be admitted 10 be certainly
original.
Obtaining long rubber tube which
could be easily stretched, he attached it
firmly to the ceiling at 5 spot which would
be directly over his head when in bed.
To the other end ne fastened a msdium-
sized sponge. After getting into bed he
would pour three or four ounces OF chic
roform over the sponge, often using 5
pound during the night, and then, pulling
it down TO his face, would hold
it TO his nostrils until IN
consciousness ensued. When his hand
fell to his side, the tension on the rubber
tube being relaxed, the sponge naturally
dew upward, leaving the victim 10 con-
tinue his sic p without the possibility Of
receiving an overdose.
If he swoke during the night the opera
ton weuld be repeated. ST. was a great
scheme" to use slang phrase, but it is
not known that the doctor ever applied
for patent on the invention. II is posi-
tive, however, that the practice continued
until he has been q user OF the drug for
some time, and so continued until he
had merely patients enough to enable
Kim to preserve proper appearance Of
responsibility. Although practically
slave to the drug for years, it is said, put
with what truth can not be readily as err
tanned, that of late he had begun to see the
handwriting on the wall, and realizing
what the end must be unless the habit
is abandoned, now uses the drug to
small extent.
