100000 SUIT.

L. v. Grady, Esq, returned yester-
day from Whiteville, where he has
been attending Columbus Superior
court, Judge Fred Moore presiding.
Mr.. Grady tells the Star that the
court has taken up big damage suit
entitled Frank Lewis versus the Caro-
lima Central Railroad Company, which
will consume the balance of the one
week term. The plaintiff is brother
of d.. Lewis, Esq, the we'll known
Whiteville attorney, and he asks for a
verdict of one hundred thousand dol
lars for alleged injuries received while
riding on defendants freight train
about two years ago. It Is stated in
the complaint that he boarded the
train at Hamlet and that the caboose
in which he was riding was several
times left on the main track at stations
while the engine shifted cars on the
switches and returning to couple again
to the caboose ran into it with such
violence that the plaintiff was several
times thrown from his seat-at one
time stove falling upon him-and
that by reason of this alleged careless
ness he had lost his power of speech,
part of his eyesight, and his mental
capacity was shattered.

THE STORE DETECTIVE.

An advertisement in a recent paper call
ed for the services of a bright, intelll-
gent woman as detective in a department
store" Scores of women, young and old,
put In applications for the place. Some
of them had been employed by private
detective agencies, and had done such i'm
portant work as the tracking of criminals,
while a few had held places in depart
ment stores. From the latter applicants
a Young woman was selected. The greater
number of the candidates for the place
had had no experience of the sort, and
were under the. impression that no spe-
cial adaptability was necessary for the
task.
"a store detective said the manager
of one of the big shops, has to be gifted
with a large amount of tact and intui-
ton. as we'll as a quick eye and level
head. She must not be troubled with
nerves. or be imaginative or easily excit-
ed. She must be ladylike as to dress and
manner and appearance, good judge
of faces and of persons. In fact, the
place requires a rare combination in the
way of womanly cleverness and courage
MANY women are employed by private
detective agencies, and some of them
make good salaries, but as rule these
private detectives do not make good store
detectives The work requiring their
services is largely that connected with
divorce cases, and this class of work is
not pleasant enough to appeal to intelli-
gent and refined women, such as store de-
tectives must be.
store detectives become adept at pick
ing out and capturing shoplifteps with
their booty on their persons. One OF
two store detectives in this city have be-
come very well known and their work is
in demand
Women have made more of a success
of detective work in the shops and il

they have in criminal cases. In the Gus
