was arraigned before Msgistra' Joh1-
son on charge of petty larceny Sat
uIday evening. He was bound over
in the sum of $I00. The police are
inclined to Imagine they saw his face
light up vita JOY when the verdict
WAS pronounced, for from his past
action il appears that he has been
trying desperately hard To win for
himself free board for tue winter both
at toe eIpense of the states OF Iowa
and Illinois. How nearly his best
efforts had failed was .rou hit out at
the hearing.

Two Rat.Ics

Porfirio Dia1 gained national promi-
hence and won his spurs ut the battle
of Puebla, where the Liberal forces
made n gallant but intellectual stand
against the French Who had invaded
Mexico fsR the purpose of erecting 4
throne for MRXimHian. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Mexican forces
were defeated. their defense against
superior numbers was so gallant that
the anniversary of the battle of the 9th
of May became national holiday in
Mexico.
A brHsque American once asked the
president, "Elhy do you Mexicans cele-
brate q defeat when you know that the
French finasy took Puebla?'
President DiaZ, with twinkle in his
eye, replied, Perhaps we have initiated
the Americans even to the extent of
celebrating opr defeats, for have been
told that the British defeated the col
onists ut Bunker Hill. and yet you built
monument to commemorate the
event"

Henry schsitger's Funeral.
DEADHEAD MAKES USE
OF AIR BRAKE ON NO. g

For some time past the trainmen
in charge of No. the midnight train
east on the Rock leland road have
been annoyed by the stopping of
the train at East Moline. In
quiry each time revealed the fact
that none of the train men had let
off the air. After some investiga-
ton it was learned that the brake
was set from the blind baggage
and the crew came TO the con-
clusiou that some one had formed
the habit of riding from either
Rock Island or moline on the
blind baggage and stopping the train
in order To get of at the eastern
suburb. Now the railroad has put
the detectives on the case end the po-
lice of the two cities are also on the
lookout for the offender.

Tillery and Anon Farms to he Aband-
oned.

Tillery and Anon Farms to he Aband-
oned.
Mr.. J. B. Hackett, Of the board
of directors of the States Prison,
returned yesterday from a trip, with
Mr.. w. +. Grassland, who l. also a
member Of the board TO the TIllery
and An on State farms which they
visited for the purpose of Inspect
ing crops aud the condition Of affairs
generally there He reports the cot
ton crop on those two farms pan
ming out very we'll indeed, that on
the Tillery farm being decidedly
the best i'm that section Of country,
or anywhere in the State, f,r that
matter.
In referring to the State farms In
a general way Mr.. Hackett said that
the board has decided to- abandon
both the Tillery and the Anson
farms and cultivate I'm future only
the Caledonia farm. The reason for
this Is that the policy Of working
large numbers o. convicts on rail-
roads makes 1t unnecessary to have
these farms. Large numbers Of con-
victs have been sent within the past
few weeks to Marion to work on
the road from Marion TO Cranberry.
The lease on the Tiiiery farm ex-
pires this year and will not be re-
newed, ard while that on the Anson
farm has not expired the State will
sub-let it and thereby avoid the
necessity of cultivsting II with con
vict labor.
There was under cultivation last
year 1900 acres of land in the Till
cry farm and probably about q
similar amount on the Arson farm

Platinum in Teis State

Z harlOtte Observer.
Will you kindly give space in the
columns of The Observer for a few
casual remarks?
Just now, Colorado, Oregon and
British Columbia are jubilant over
the reported discovery of platinum
by DR.. David T. Day, one of, if not,
the most noted experts in metal
lurgy on the American continent.
DR.. Day has been successful in locat-
ing deposits of platinum in these
places. But as is we'll known, no
State has greater variety of min
erals than North Carolina. Hence,
may these things not be found with
in her borders? Platinum has been
found in Rutherford county; single
reinform granule weighing 2.54
grains, but even larger specimens
have been found in other portions
of the State, where the platiniferous
allivium, occurring in the alluvial
beds, can easily be traced well up in
the mountains Of the State by the
crystalline rocks, from which the
detitrous is formed; hence, it can
not be such q difficult matter to 10
cate its origin. The writer firmly
believing it is only . question ol
time when all the rare minerals
found with deposits of platinum
will be uneartbod and Osmium,
tungsten, molybdenium, venadium
iridium aud pladium will be found
within her borders.
Yours for the welfare Of the Ole
North State. EUREKA.
