 Mrs John w. Mackay has arrived in New York on the steamship Paris. She has engaged the finest suit of rooms Ill the Waldorf, and it is said to be her in tentlon to make protractod stay Ill the city and to entertain i'll the princely style that has marked her receptions i'll Europe
 This arrival will cause quite com motion in New York society. Mrs Maekay comes with the odor of royalty upon her.

HER HUSBANDS SERVANT

Only as Such Can Mrs. Toy Yee Gain Re-
 admittance to This Country.
 Because the new Chinese treaty makes no specific provision for establishing the status of a Chinese woman who may de- size to leave this country with intention to- return, Mrs Toy Yee, tho wife of Lee Hoe, a wealthy Philadelphia mer- chant, has applied to Collector Read for permission to accompany her husband to China in the capacity of a servant.
 Some weeks ago Lee Hoe sold out his business to Lee Chow and determined to make a visit with his wife to their old home near Honglong Leo Hoe had been registered with Internal Reve- nue Collector Doyle, and his credentials as a merchant, with some thousands of dollars to his credit were all right. It was the intention of Lee Hoe and his wife to remain i'll China not longer than year, and when they filed their apph- cations for privilege of roturn with Col lector Read aud gave him their photo graphs they were surprised to find that there was a barrier against the return of Mrs Toy Fee.
 The law was plain enough so far as Lee Hoe was concerned, butnothing was said about the wives of Chinese mer- Giants. The law did say that the serv- ants of merchants might enjoy the same rights as their masters, so Mrs. Toy Yee bought new hat, arranged herself in true American fashion before photo grapher's camera and soon brought hel picture to the collectors office, where it was filed with her husbands photo graph and tho whole matter given te the special treasury agents for investl gation.
 The treasury agents have reported fa yorably, and Mrs. Toy Yee will leave for Hongkong via Richfeld, Vt, in { few days. The government takes q lib eral view of the case and looks upof the husband and wife as one, but th' safeguard of strict compliance with th' law has been adhered to.-Philadelphi' Record.

Another Capture.

While a crowd Of revenue
officers were on their way to the
distillery Of Therodore Turner,
near Hillsboro, yesterday morn.
ing, when near Hickstown they
met L. *. Turner and M. +.
Jackson with three five gallon
kegs Of viii key each in their
buggies. They were halted and
arrested and brought to this
city and Commissioner Ramsay
bound them over until Tuesday
in the sum Of S525 for each man
and his team. The kegs were
all marked to saloon keepers
here but we understand that
one of them said that he had
ordered no whiskey from either
one Of them.
One Of the kegs was measured
by the officers and found to
contain five gallons. Under the
revenue laws a man who runs a
government still has a right to
retail whiskey in less than five
gallon lots; but cannot deliver
two packages to one man at the
same time. These men were
held on the ground that they
were whclesaling, as they had
three kegs each. The whiskey
came from Therodore Turner's
still.

Another Close Up.

Sometime ago B.W. Matthews
& Son sued M. @. Herndon and
j. r. Chisenhall for the sum oi
$50, due for rent for Mr.. Mat
thews' store room on Mangum
street. At the trial it came out
that Mr.. Herndon had nothing
to do with the business, and
Judgment was rendered against
Mr.. Chisenhall, who refuses to
pay the account, claiming that
he had spent about 1920 in
painting and papering the
building, and he thought Mr..
Matthews should be satisfied.
Mr.. Chisenhall has just fitted
up place on Parrish street and
late yesterday afternoon Mr..
Matthews had his place closed
up. Mr.. Chisenhall will claim
his homestead and an inventory
will be taken. and he will open
again this evening.

be heard from again.

Closed His store.

Yesterday afternoon Messrs.
Manning & Foushee got judg.
ment against j. L. Cole & Co.,
on behalf Of one oss his credit
ors, and had the sheriff to close
up his store. The claim was for
about $50.
Mr.. Cole claims to have been
badly treated all around in the
deal. He says that he had ad.
yertised a piece Of property for
sale and told the attorneys that
as soon as the sale was made he
would settle the claim.
He claims further that the at
torneys knew that the claim could
not be collected by law, as the firm
did not carry a stock amounting to
over the homestead exemption,
and that the sheriff would not take
an inventory Of the stock because
the plaintiffs would not pay the
costs.

PRODUCTION from the Hon. John S.
Henderson to the postmaster gen.
eral to transfer the Statesville post
Office to its higher static and to
make an application for additional
clerk hire and more collection
boxes for that progressive town.
He was introduced by the Hon.
Kerr Craig, third assistant post
master general and succeeded in
procuring all he asked for. The
department allowed him additional
clerk hire and expressed itself as
highly gratified at Mr.. BOSNIAN
er's administration Of his Office.
Mr., Bosshamer tells me that nearly
all the well to do farmers in Ire
dell and other surrounding coun-
ties are for sound" money. They
see that a deprecated currency
would compel them to accept half
price for their bountiful harvest.
All the well to do merchants and
energetic business men also adyo-
cate honest" money. He thinks
that North Carolina will repudi-
ate free silver at the coming cleo
ton. There, as in every other
state the free silver rights number
