Argument By Mr. Watson.

Immediately after court met at $50
O'Clock this morning Mr.. Watson began
his argument.
First, he impressed upon the jury the
Importance Of their verdict and told them
that his speech would be the last word
the plaintiff would have to say to them.

sWer for your decision
Calling attention to the frequent ref
erences made to the Bible during the ar
gument of the case, Mr.. Watson said:
Unusually when a lawyer tries to quote
Scripture he gets it wrong. But my
friend Judge montgomery has read the
Bible through exactly 10 times and he can
find some passage in it to fit any case
WHY he could quote verses to sustain
him in a claim and delivery for a bull

Mr.. Watson referred to MIR. Registers

he said:

At that hour Governor-elec Chas. b. Ay-

$50. He began by referring to some
criticisms that had been made Of his APP

it's prosperity under his management
They sent a committee TO South Caro-

this committee was then under his in1u-

Ant Engineers.

Something new and interesting about
ants was learned by a Mount Airy
florist recently. For week or so lie
had been bothered by ants that got into
boxes of seeds which rested on a shelf
10 get rid of the ants he put into exc
cution an old plan, which was to place
meaty bone close by, which the ants
soon covered, every one deserving the
boxes of seeds. AS soon as the bone
would become thickly inhabited by the
little creepers the florist tossed it into
q tub of water The ants having been
washed off. the bone was put in use as
a trap again.
Then the florist bethought himself
that he would save trouble by placing
the bone in the center of sheet of fly
paper. believing that the ants would
never get to the bone, but would get
caught on the sticky fly paper while
trying to reach the food But the
florist was surprised to find that the
ants. upon discovering the nature of
the paper trap. formed a working force
and built path on the paper clear to
the bone. The material for the walk
was sand secured from a little pile
near by For hours the ants worked,
and when the path was completed they
made their way over Its dry surface in
couples. as in march, to the bone

DECORATING the Teeth.

"1t's curious thing" said the dem
fist as he caught the end Of nerve on
crochet needle and knotted up few
inches Of it in chain stitch, that, while
some people consider gold filings very
disfiguring. more people look upon
them as desirable decorations. have
had a great many people come in here
and ask me to put gold filings in per-
fectly sound front teeth. OF course l
wouldn't do it; it wouldn't be profess
sional. A great many colored people
want solid gold teeth where there isn't
the slightest necessity Of having them.
"But the oldest request I've had yet
was from a variety actress - vaude-
vile, l believe you say nowadays-who
played here a short time ago. She
came in to have front tooth filled.
When l told her that the gold would
show a great deal, what on earth do
you suppose she asked me? Why, she
wanted to know If couldn't drill the
cavity larger and make the filling look
not like mere gold edge, but like the
letter 81 She told me she was going
to marry a man named John, and she
thought it would be lovely to have a
gold u in her tooth.
"Of course couldn't do that either.
1t would not be according to profess
sional ethics. 1t would be malpractice.
But that woman offered me the price
of a dozen gold filings if I'd only make
the filling in her tooth look like q j. I"
