The expense Of rent is variously esti-
mated as from one-third to ope-hali
that OF carrying on a business. Those
who are fortunate or shrewd enough to
secure a good lease Of premises and,
perhaps, subtenants, often reduce this
item to q minimum. Among the pos
SCISSORS ,ot good leases in Phoenix is
James Mcnamara, who pays $3.50 q
month for the corner he occupies and
$40 a month additional each year for the
next four years, that is $l60 a month
next year, and 30 on, By su b-letting to
Sam Seip, TO the fruit.stand man and to
Mrs. Lee, he about gets his own rent
free in addition to the income from the
upper part of the building. Mrs. Lee
in turn by sub"letting to the Gem Gro
Gerry aud dressmaker secures a very
low rental for her millinery business.

In the early days, before the railroads
we're built, Tom Fitch's eloquence and
ability as pleader were often enc
pIoyed TO secure the acquittal OF law
breakers of all sorts. His fame as an
infslhble resort OF bad men ia trouble
extended all over the territory. The
road agent who, having fallen into the
sheriff's hands, was fortunate enough
to secure Tom Fitch as attorney, felt as
secure as il again at large. 1t is re-
lated that one evening at Prescott,
when the stage was about to depart
and many notables of the town were
gathered at the hotel passenger ex-
pressed his fear that, as ugly reports OF
stage robbers on the route had been
brought in, and as he had some $1,000 in
coin about him, he would feel much re-
lieved when the trip had been safely
completed.
sob, nonsense" said Tom Fitch, 81
will give you pass that will carry you
through" and forthwith he scratched
hastily upon the back OF one Of his
cards request that all gentlemen Of
the road would suffer the bearer 10 pass
unmolested as he was particular
friend OF the undersigned, affixing his
name. The passenger accepted it CRATE"
fully and set out upon the journey con-
siderably encouraged. Sure enough,
Immediately after entering the Black
Canyon the stage was held up. es
Xxx xx##
The five or six passengers had been
ranged in line by the roadside, hands
up, and the pleasant work OF riiing be-
gan. When the individual who bore
the pass was rearhed he said he had
something IN his inner pocket which he
wished to show first and started to pro-
duce it. The cold muzzle OF q elk
shooter was quickly pressed against bis
head. He WAS commanded TO restore
his arm to it's upright position and in
formed that the gentlemanly stage rob-
Der himself would investigate. After
some fumbling the latter drew forth the
card and read it with no little amaze
ment Having fully digested its pur-
port, he bit off the corner and sullenly
passed on, stripping the other victims
who were unprovided with passes oil
everything valuable. Returning, he
informed the lucky passenger that Tom
Fitch's passes would always be hon
oreG in his district at least, and back
ing away carefully, disappeared over g
knoll to where his horse WAS tethered
leaving our prudent traveller in full pos
session OF his own. ... ...#e

dropped into the territorial library
yesterday and found all in confusion.
The floor was covered with old news
papers, many dating as far back as 1864,
all OF Arizona. Secretary Bruce has a
couple Of young men at work sorting
them preparatory to having them
bound into about go volumes, and
mighty interesting reading some Of the
older ones will make when they are put
in convenient shepe, and mighty useful
to Arizona's future historian. It is an
unfortunate circumstance that no pa.
pers. can be found from 1867 TO 1877,
though there are many previous to the
former date and almost complete files
since the latter. 1t Ia remembered that
when the books OF the territorial library
we're transferred from Prescott with the
change OF capitol, they were packed in
newspapers which were, upon arrival,
thrown away, being badly torn and
deemed useless. 1t is surmised now
that these papers were those OF the
missing decade.

BECOMES SOLE OWNER.

On account of the death of Mr.. w.
w. Hall his half interest in tine ROa
noke Ne7os, Weldon, was recently
sold. Mr.. John W. Sledge, surviving
partner, became the purchaser and is
now sole owner and editor of this old
and we'll established newspaper. Mr..
d. +. Stainback, who has heen con-
nected with the paper as local editor
since the first of the year when Mr..
Hall was appointed chief clerk in the
office of the Commissioner of Labor
Statistics at Raleigh, has become
associate editor and it goes without
saying that he and Mr.. Sledge will
keep the paper up to its former stand
ard of excellence. Mr. Stainback has
had newspaper experience and is in
every way competent to aCceptably I'LL
the position he assumes. We note
with pleasure that the form of the
paper is to be changed from eight to
four pages. This we think will be
more satisfactory to both readers and
advertisers. In bis announcement last
week the new owner and editor among
other things says:
The Roanoke Meas is no venture
and for the past quarter OF century it
has paid its regular weekly visits to the
homes of its readers, carrying JOY and
sunshine to the hearts of all who love
pure, wholesome reading. It's present
owner has been associated with it since
1872 and it will be our pride in the
future, as in the past, to present to
our patrons clean, straight-cut,
Democratic journal. While advocating
the cause of the Democratic party,
because we believe it to be the true
party of the people, it will be our
honest purpose to treat all parties
fairly.

THE LAW OF CHASTITY.

We are not surprised to learn that
Hon. w. c. P. Breckenridge will have
opposition when he again offers for
Congress. Mr. Breckenridge has been
sued for breach of promise, and we do
not pretend to say that Miss Pollard
has case against him and we do not
intimate that he made the young
woman a promise OF marriage. But
the world believes that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge has snned against the social
law-the law Of Chastity-and he must
clear his skirts of this charge before he
can hope to regain the confidence of
the people.
There was time when the public
winked at immortality of this kind
among men, and there are those who
still do SO. But the time has now
come when the better class of the
American people demand that public
men shall be clean in their inner life,
and they will not tolerate in office
men who are impure and unchaste.
There is one code of morals and it
applies with equal force to both sexes.
Chastity in man or woman is the i'm
mediate jewel of the soul and it is as
binding upon one as upon the other.
We long to see the day, and we be-
lieve We shall see it, when society will
as surely frown upon the unchaste man
as it now frowns upon the unchas,e
woman, when no guilty man may
obtrude his offensive presence into the
society OF pure woman.-Richmond

HONORING MIR. CARR.

Tonight the people of Durham give
a banquent complimentary to their
townsman, Mr.. Julian S. Carr, at the
Hotel Carolina, the most elegant
between New York and St. Augustine,
which he has just finished and equipped
superbly. The compliment is deserv-
ingly paid. Durham owes much to Mr..
Carr every way, and is especially his
debtor for this last manifestation of his
munifcence and public spirit As he
is, however, more than a citizen of
Durham, the State will be interested
to know of the mark of appreciation
which his immediate neighbors are to
give him tonight. We have no citizen
who does as much good with his money
nor one who unites so much gracious
ness with the giving. Many North
Carollnian, absent in body, will Join
in spirit with the Durham people to-
night in honoring the charming and
truly philanthropic gentleman in COM
pliment to whom they have made a
feast and hidden him.-Charlotte o.

GEN. J. J. PETTIGREW

The Wilmington Messenger, of Sun
day, contains the following reference
to Gen. J. J. Pettigrew, brother of the
venerable and greatly beloved Rev.
William S. Pettigrew, of Ridgeway,
which we are sure will be read with
interest:
In the last number of the UniOerstt
Magazine Prof Kemp P. Battle, Ii.
D., has brief paper on that remark
ably gifted alumnus of that venerable
and excellent insttution-the late
Gen. James Johnston Pettigrew, a
native of North Carolina. 1t seems
DR.. Battles estimate had been chal-
lenged. To confirm his very high
opinion of Gen. Pettigrew, who fell in
war when not more than thirty-fve
years old, he publishes letter recently
received from the biographer Of Com
modore Maury, his daughter, Mrs.
Diana Fontaine Maury Corbin
Ny father greatly admired Gen. Pet
tigrew. He said to me one day during
| the war. THAT young man Is born
! leader Of men. Ii anything were to happen
| to Gen Lee believe he is the man to fill
| his place
DR.. Battle adds:
Commodore Maurv was a man OF clear
rand accurate Judgment. He was init
mately acquainted with General Pet
| tigrew. He had been thrown with the
great men OF his time. The expression OIL
! his opinion that General Pettlgrew was
| worthy to succeed the most able military
man OF our civil war is very lofty praise
| Was he right? Who knows? At the age
| of thirty-tive Lee was captain OF
recognized talent, who had not seen 8
fight: Grant, although he had fought
well in Mexico, had retired from the
army, and Stonewall Jackson, a college
professor, so awkward as to be called by
the students ''Fool Tom Jackson" l
Washington had died at the same age be
would have been remembered as a wealthy
planter, who had a gallant but short
experience in the French war
In this connection let US add, VIVA
we have already given in a forme
article, the estimate placed upon Gen
Pettigrew by his very eminent kinsman
the late Mr.. James l.. Petigru, thu
greatest lawyer South Carolina ha
ever had. When John c. Calhoun
body was lying in state at Charleston
Mr.. Petigru and another prominen
citizen were standing arm in arm look
ing into the face of the great South
Carolinian one of the very creates
men ever born on this continent. Tn
other other citizen said" Alas, af1C
we have no man to take his place.
Promptly the great lawyer who wa
the partner of Gen. Pettigrew, sait
this : eyes we have, know one wh'
has higher intellect than Mr.. Cal
houn had" Such an exalted estimat
from such high source under sue
solemn and impressive surrounding
is too important to be forgotten.
DR.. Battle will write to Rev. William
S. Pettigrew, brother of the General
he can learn more Of this very interest
ing event.

Tie LATE JAMES CHESTER ROCK
WE'LL.

The editor OF the Reidsville ReUieW,
Mr.. Edward Gillian, himself writer
of graceful and charming verse when
inspired to strike his tuneful Tyre and
indulge his poetic nature, pays the
following just and generous tribute to
the late Rev. James Chester Rockwell,
of whom we wrote last week. Mr..
Gilliam's literary talents and mature
Judgment make him a competent
critic. He says:
Arrived at the little town of White
ville-his native home-last Tuesday
l was deeply grieved to learn OF the
death from typhoid fever of Rev.
James Chester Rockwell, which oc-
cured about two weeks ago in Ten
nessee. He was a comrade of mine
in years gone by when l was as pure
as the beautiful snow. We were
together in literary companlonshlp
which ran like splendid story. He
was noble youth as | knew him, with
a wide horizon of beautiful promise.
His soul was shot through and through
with color and form and grace and
music and light and he walked in a
poetry of motion. There was within
him that " magic of the universe" by
which the secret rhythm of nature IS
unlocked. What he wrote in verse
touched you, because it was charged
with q message of a heart. Tender
love songs, cratic sonnets Of epic
strength, were the work Of this pas
sionate young lyrist. All Of it was as
simple and gentle as ballad, and yet
it never lacked in dramatic fire SO in
separable from poetry and eloquence.
At the time Of his death he was min
ister in the Baptist church. As he
once sang of the late Father Ryan SO
we sing of him
Within the Master Poets Home,
His weary feet are now at rest"

day announces the sudden death in
that city on Friday Of Mr.. A. B.

THE Worlds Fair is drawing to a
close and soon it will be thing of the
past-existing only in memory. One
of the saddest thoughts in this con-
nection aside from the fact that great
numbers of people were denied the
privilege of visiting the great show and
witnessing the worlds wonders there
displayed in such profusion and
magnificence, is that those splendid
buildings are to be torn down and the
Debris cleared away. Writing of the
grandeur and beauties of the "White
City," the Terra Haute, Indiana,
Gazette rapturously exclaims:
Take all the noted cathedrals and
public buildings and monuments and
colossal statuary of the ancient and
modern world and group them in the
Elysian fields and one might see the
equal in beauty and radiant splendor
of the magical White City as viewed
from the top of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts Building. But until that
is done the White City will stand alone
peerless gem in the diadem of the
centuries.
