LAND MUST BE CONDEMNED.
The Right of Way Case Decided il
Favor of Enniss.

The case of j. A. Mills, president of
the Raleigh and Cape Fear Railroad
vs.. Il. G.. Enniss, a farmer in Mark S
Greek township, was heard yesterday at
10 o'clock by Judge Clark at Chambers.
1t was brought by Mills to compel
Enniss to allow him to construct his rail
roal through his land, Ennis having given
him a deed to the right of way and then
stopped the work at the point of gun.
After hearing the evidence and exam
ming the deed, JudgeClark decided that
it would not hold good and dismissed the
case.
Mr.. Mills announces his intention of
having the land condemned and going
on with the work. This, however will
cost much loss of time, as it requires
ten days notice before condemning.

Merchant of PittsfOrd

Is Suing for Divorce at Washington
from the wife who Came to Him
Through n Matrimonial Agency---He
20, She 1O---she says lie Was Misery
and Niggardly.
Carlos A. Hitchcock, who amassed a
fortune in the mercantile business in Yer
mont, and who is now living in retirement
at Washington, acknowledged, in petition
filed in the divorce court in that city Mon
day, that he made an unfortunate matri-
monal venture after reaching the advanced
age of 20.
lie seeks separation from the woman
whom he was led to believe would be a
comfort and joy to him in his declining
years. Hitchcock secured his wife through
New York matrimonial bureau. She
was Emiline GuirOn, a widow of 40, and
was highly recommended to the Vermonter
as a woman Of suitable disposition, who
would cheer him and give him the tender
care demanded by one of his age.
But now Hitchcock says he was deceived,
and AYERS his wfe's sole aim was to secure
portion of his wealth; that she cared
nothing for him. He says he was led to
believe that she had been married but once,
but he finds that she had made several
ventures in matrmony. 1t is also charged
that she lived with man named White
in Brooklyn, y. V, and that she has visit
ed places of i'll repute.
She and Hitchcock were married at
Saratoga Springs, Sept. s, 1891, and soon
after came to Washington to occupy his
residence on Capitol Hill

treating her as a domestic rather than a
wife. She says he only provided the coars-
est food and allowed her scarcely enough
to clothe herself She was subjected TO
modification and embarrassment, she says,
by reason Of his misery clothing.
As an inducement for her to marry him
she was made acquainted with his financial
condition and was promised that she should
be supplied with a sutIicieucy of the world S
goods to make her life comfortable She
was obliged to do all kinds of common
work, she complains, and says he was
cruel and abusive to her, accusing her of
conduct OF which she was not guilty. lie

to her, and was otherwise dsagreeable
Mrs. Hitchcock admits they entered into
an an,e-nuptal agreement in which she
waived all rights that might accrue to her
with reference to his property, as he as
serts in his bill.
In filing her suit She was aware by rea

Why the Negro Is called "Coon.,

Many years ago, when superstition held
greater sway than now and the influences
of the occult and weird were more potent,
a cunning negro slave acquired the repu-
tation of possessing a familiar spirit and of
being able to reveal many uncanny mys-
teres. His fellow slaves held him in great
awe, and even his masters grew to belief
in his powers. This finally led to wager
in which the greater part of the masters
fortune was staked on the negro's divining
ability. A barrel was placed on the lawn
and live coon placed under the barrel.
Then the negro soothsayer was sent for
and told to inform the crowd what was I'M
der the barrel. He tried in various ways
to escape the exposure, but without sue
cess. Realizing that he was cornered, he
leaned on the barrel dejectedly and re-
marked, "Well, you've got this old coon at
last" Whereupon great shout applaud
ed what was considered Sambo's remark
able astuteness, and his reputation was
forever firmly established Ever since
then, the tradition goes, the negro has
been called coon"

why We Need n Navy.
From Gunton's Magazine


one of the penal les of desiring to speak
ones mind is that the man so speak
ing must be ready TO back up his words by
acts, unless he is willing to find himself in
peculiarly humliating position. This
applies just as much to a nation as to an
individual. Therefore, if nation desires
any weight in foreign policy of any kind
that is, even if it desires only guaraetee
that no foreifn nation will adopt toward it
a hostile polcy-then 1t must possess the
means to make its words good by deeds.
In the case of a nation whose interests in
foreign affairs are concerned primarily with
powers touching it by land this means that
it must be ready to face invasion by land, or,
in case of necessity, itself to invade by
land. If, as in the case of the United
States, there is no great military empire
abutting on the country in question, then
it must look primarily to its navy as the
means for carrying out any policy on which
it has resolved.
The United States has on one side Mex
leo, on the other Canada. Canada, it is
true, is part of one of the greatest empires
in the world but the British empire,
though It has ever been fertile in able gen.
erals and gallant soldiers, nevertheless
owes its high standing primarily to Its
navy; and in the very unlikely event of
any trouble between England and the
United States the British forces in Canada,
and the American navy on the ocean,
would be almost equally at disadvantage.
Aside from Great Britain, however, prac-
tically every other nation which could by
any possibility have trouble with us would
have to meet us at sea. This of course
means that if the United States is to have
any foreign policy whatsoever it must pos
sess thoroughly efficient navy.
