For several DAYS he has been in that
Mecca of all travellers, Atlanta, attend

And the Association, knowing a good
thing when they saw it, and seeing
many good things combined i'll one, made
him president. He wears the honor
gracefully, but to him honors are not
what there are to most folks, for the
novelty has all worn off in ''ihe multi
tude of them"
At the meeting of the Association the
following Southern Colleges were repre-
sented: The University of North Caro-

Vanderbilt University, Tennessee; Uni
yarsity of the South (Sewanee), Tennes

ington and Lee University, Virginia; Tu-
lane University, Louisiana; the Georgia
School of Technology; the University OF
Alabama; the University OF Mississippi;
Wofford College. South Carolina, ana
Mercer College, Georgia.
The Association is modelled after the
college associations of the New England
States, and has for its object the promo
ton of higher education in the South.
At Nashville, Tenn, the next meeting
will be held, during the Nashville expo
sition.
sNorth Carolina is on top at At

All Allegatit ms Relating TO Mrs. Haw-

Compromise.

III
Compromise.
AS the NEWS AND OBSERVER contained
some tim since summary of certain
allegations which appeared in answers
fled by the executors OF the estate or
DR.. w. ] Hawkins in certain proceed
ings concerning the allotment of dover,
etc, in W Ike Superior Court, it Is but
just that the action taken in regard TO
the N ter as appears upon the minutes
of the superior Court Of Wake should
also 5e published.
In the action in which the widow, Mrs
Mary A. Hawkins, dissented from the
will and asked the usual order for a
years support, the Judgment is as fol-
lows:
"The defendants executors of DR.. W. j.
Hawkins) withdraw their charges agalnS,t
the plaintiff MARY a. Hawkinsl and ask
leave to withdraw their answers from inc
files
answers be withdrawn from the MES.
And in the petition for dover, the fol-
lowing is copy of a part OF the Judg-
ment:
"Jhe defendants, A B. Hawkins and
M. j. Hawkins, executors OF w. j. HaW-
KIDS, deceased, anu M u. AdWklus, LHul
vidually, and as & ia ~di IN ad Item for his
minor children, having withdrawn their
charges against the plaintiff (Mrs. Mary
A Hawkins} and asking thst they be al
lowed to Withdraw their resp ctlve an
swers from the files:
ut is ordered that the said ans ; ers be
withdrawn from the files
1t thus appears that not only were
the charges uconditionally withdrawn,
but that the pleadings in which they
were made have been taken from the
files of the Court, that no record might
rems in of the existence of the charges.
1t is but proper to state that the original
charge was not intended by the execu'
tors to impute any Intentional wrong
doing to Mrs. Hawkins; nor any i'm
parchment of her high character.
This vindication of the action OF Mrs
Hawkins, while confidently expected by
her numerous friends is, of course, very
gratifying to them.
The amount which was received under
the judgment, $50, 900, has already been
mentioned Ia the papers.

The activity with which the Chamber
of Commerce and Industry has entered
upon its important mission this fall
should be matter of sincere congratu
lation. II cannot be denied that much
has been accomplished directly and in
directly in the past through this agency
and now with its greatly increased mem.
bership, numbering one hundred and
forty members in good standing, and
its twenty one standing committees, 1t
only remains for the committees to do
their duty, which cannot be doubted,
and the members to be in their seats at
the regular meetings to practically
guarantee the success of almost any en-
terprise that may be undertaken by the
Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

the rustic kicked like a Texas steer, the

mile track with these sharp curves in it.
In going around one of these curves
Gentry's foot came in contact with the

when he reached the curves again
fearing another contact with the sulky
wheels he declined to exert himself.
