is now the sole proprietor of the new
Benbow House. that is being erected in

A PECULIAR CASE.
The foundation of the charges against
City Superintendent of Schools Prof
Charles L.. Coon, of Salisbury, which
seems to be the main topic for discus
sion. seems to have grown out of.
misunderstanding of some remarks
made by Mr.. Coon to some children
whose parents objected to them read
ing a book on the Morse mythology,
on the grounds that 1t was not true.
Professor Coon In explaining why the
the book was used in the schools, said
to the children that all that one reads
is not true; that Aesops Fables. the
story books which served to point
moral. We're not true. but were useful
and instructive; and as for that, there
was some doubt as to the literal truth
Of the story Of Jonah in the Bible, and
some of the parallels related by our
Saviour, which were used for illustra-
tion by Him in His teachings. These
utterances led to the circulation OF
petition among our people to have
Professor Coon removed and at pres
ent It looks as If he will have to stand
trial before the city school board on
a charge OF heresy What an age 1t
will be when everything one reads will
have an affidavit of Its authenticity and
truth appended to 1t. Verify, the world
doth move forward but the vital gray
matter in some peoples crania. seems to
consist Of the formation of protoplasm.
SETTLES LETTER A POSER.
The open letter Of Hon. Thomas Set
tie to Congressman r. u. Lnney, adj
yising that the Republicans in this
State make their campaign on sound
money, protection and the support OF
the administration, and not against the
election law and the constitutional
amendment, has excited general inter-
est in the State. District Attorney Hol-
ton was shown the letter the night
before It's publication. He had very lit
tie to say, but it came to him MS
poser. In commenting upon the letter,
Hon. r. d. Glenn, of Winston, states
that he could take 1t and run every
Republican in North Carolina off the
stump" AS the Views Of nm honest Re
publican, and written from the stand
point Of Republican party's interest,
the letter is unanswerable.
A STRANGE CASE.
~ The case against A. ]. Marshall,
we'll known lawyer in Wilmington, N.
c. who is charged with being an ac-
complete in a counterfeiting case Will
be tried at the December term OF the
Federal Court in this city.
The case has attracted much atten-
tion The Wilmington Star Of Sunday
says of the failure to try the case in
the Federal Court Mt Wilmington last
week: s
"It was anticipated that the court at
this term would try the case against
( A. j. Marshall, who was arrested last
spring on the charge OF being an ac-
complete of Nick POLITE in counterfeit
ing silver coin, but District Attorney
Bernard did not even send bill he
fore the grand Jury. Government De-
tectivc B. F. Perry of Charlotte, who
worked up the counterfeiting case. was
here to attend tho expected trial as
witness.
AS to the case against Mr. Marshall
the following entry appears upon yes
.erday's court record: Continued for
bill: defendant required to renew his
bond" 1t will be remembered that tho
case against Mt. MElSnail was con-
t!nued from the May term OF the court,
and that lie gave bond In the amount
Of 5000 for his appearance for trial at
this term.
There has been much speculation as
to tire failure ofAth District Attorney
to sard In n bill in this case hlt there
5 are good reasons for believing that the
tr.a, n,ii! not take place IN Wilmington
3 hpt Will be held in Raleigh next month.
