Register, October 30.1

The curious have been satisfied,
There is no longer any need for spec
"lat'on as to when Comptroller Gen
eral Norton will resign nor az to who
will got tho plum. Mr.. Norton re-
signed his office as comptroller yes
terday and Governor Ellerbe w.t.
out delay announced that County
Auditor l.. p. Epton would get the
appointment.
All of yesterday morning Mr.. Nor
ton was beseiged with questions as
to when he would resign his Office.
f1o did not care to talk about the
mattor until the decd had been done
just about z o'clock Governor Eller-
be received from Con. Norton let.
ter containing the much talked
about lottor OF resignation. 1t was a
merely formal letter Of resignation,
staLing that he resigned his Office to
tako effect upon tho qualification Of
his successor in Office.
Tho understanding is that Glen,
Norton will attend to several ont.
standing settlements prior to turn
ing over tho Office.
Governor Ellerbo upon receiving
the letter of resignation stated that
he would appoint for the unexpire6
term Of Gen. Norton MIR. l.. p. Ep-
ton, the incumbent auditor for Spar

MIR. Epton never figured verv
prominently in politics. In 1900 he
was taken from his farm in Spartan
burg and placed in charge of the
auditors Office. Ile has filled this
place 80 we'll that he has been re-.
elected three times in tho Democratic
primary. His administration of the
office has given satisfaction to all

"rocks," "ohink" and "spondulicks"
are only few Of the words that
translate "filthy lucre." Two of
the slang phrases now in gallingly
frequent use are, "tbat's right" and
"that won't cut much ice." The lat =.
tor, it must be confessed, has certain
cool figurative qualities which give it
saving color of grace. But most
Of these phrases rely chiefly upon
their condensed expressiveness, which
is the trade mark of their American
manufacture. They are but ono of
tho many devices of the masses to
compass cross cut and void oircum
locutions. Thus, "snap" and "cinch"
are time economy for moneyed sine
cure and an assured competence.
One of the sulest tests OF the rapid
mortality of slang is the extremely
painful sensation produced by hear
ing antiquated slang phrases used
and there arc always people who are
two, or threa, or ten years behind in
their use Of such phrases. When
other people arc saying mot on your
tintype," the user Of mildewed slang
feobly ejaculates 81 should smile"
The piquancy and patness of certain
phrases make it hard to declare that
slang has no legitimate use. But
concerning its misuse, there can hard
ly be two opinions among people
whose opinions are worth anything.
A careful study of the qualities of
men and women who habitually in
terlard their remarks with slang will
furnish anybody with a world Of con-
vincing conclusions in favor Of pure
English.

From tho Boston Record |


J"y, Me-, claims one Of the biggest
trees In Mnlne. 1t stands on the
banks of tho Androscoggin, on the
lawn OF the late Dudley Bean. The
circumference four feet from the
ground is 20 feet, diameter 7 feet.
About Six foet from tho ground there
arc seven branches radiating from it's
trunk which are 18 inches to "a
inches in diameter. Tho branches
spread over spaoo Of ground 27O
feet in circumforcnce, or 90 feet in
diameter. Where the branches leave
tho trunk of tho tree, about seven
feet from the ground, there has been
erected Il band stand, which seats
twenty five persons. A cooler place
on hot days cannot be found. A
Boston gentleman WAS riding by re-
comfy, and tho tree attracted his at
tcntion. He examined and measured
it, and was astonished at it's dimen-
sions. He went away with the re-
mark that IL the tree WAS on his lawn
$4,000 wouldn't buy it. 1t was set
out forty-two years ago by Lafayette
Bean on the day Of his departure for
California, whence he never returned.

In 1885 Mr.. George was nomi-
mated by the United Labor party for
mayor Of New York, polling $4,000
votes against 10000 for Abram S.
Hewitt, tho Democratic nominee, and
10000 for Theodore Roosevelt, now
assistant secretary of the navy, Ro-
publican.
After his nomination for mayor by
tho Jeffersonian Democrats a month
ago, Mr.. George made an extremely
active canvass, speaking several times
every evening aad working from
early to late at his headquarters Ho
gave to the campaign it's most SEN
saSional incidents, its attacks on
Richard Croker and Senator Platt,
whom he threatened to prosecute for
various crimes, such rs lovying black
mail upon city contractors and as
pirants for office, should he be elected
mayor. His candidacy gave to the

of uncertainty, for according to OK
pert politicians it was practically i'm
possible to estimate how much Of

George instead of Van Wyck.
