Some North Carolina N ames.
Columbia State.)


North Carolina can boast not only OF
her great mountains, but also of the fact
that she has more citizens with queer
names than any other State in the Union
can produce. ForaeXample, the euphon-
ious and gurgling name of Uzzle is that
of one of the Oldest families in North
Carolina, but this 81 merely one of the
many hundreds. The Supreme court re-
Gently decided the Snow will case, which
involved the legality of the will of Mr.
Ice Snow. Other members of this inter-
esting family are Hail Snow and Rain
Snow, but it seems that Sleet Snow in
some way get shut out of the bunch. as
he does not appear on the roster.
There is no end of odd names in North
Carolina. One of the best known men
in Raleigh named his children after the
States of the Union, and they are among
the most prominent people of that city,
among them being DIR. Wisconsin
Illinois Royster and Mr.. Vermont Con-
necticut Register. Newbern Is the home
of Mr.. Sharp Blunt, The home of Sink
Quick is in Richmond county; Prof.
bred Peacock, of Greensboro, is one of
the foremost educators in the State,
while the home of Early Dawn is Raj
eigh.

Of the crevasse.
Ten long days and nights, he said in
his will, which he coolly made on his
bed of everlasting ice, had he waited
for death. He was a man Of large
fortune, but in his frigid prison, with
his companion slowly dying from the
torture Of awful pain from broken
limbs and other injuries, he willed
away his possessions, wrote long mes
sages to his family and to his friends
and made extended notes concerning
the crevasse and the disaster.
Toward the end he placed their re
naming food near the guides mouth

out as long as the cold would let them.
His last letter contained an affection

TOM WATSON TO LECTURE.
Will Quit Practice of Law After
Making a Fortune.

1t is announced by the daily papers
that Tom Watson thinks of going on
the lecture platform. There is already
a demand for his services by lecture
bureaus and chautauoua associations.
The one at BarnesYille offered him
$500 for lecture, which he declined
bul he is disposed to consider a Sc
ries of dates in cities at $500 night.
uMr. Watson is engaged this week de-
tending Sig Lichenstien, who is charg-
ed with murder at Adrian, Emanuel
countys and Judge Roger Gamble is
associated with him as counsel. An
acquittal is predicted.
EiMr Watson has made great deal OF
money pracCicing law since he quit pol
itics, and has invested much OF 1t IN
farms. He finds time to study and
write a good deal, as his History OF
France" bears witness.
At present he is engaged on biog-
raphy of Napoleon, which he expects
to finish by Christmas.
Mr.. Watson finds the practice of law
irksome. His business is largely the
defense of men charged with capital
offenses, and he feels the responslblll-
ty so keenly that he cannot sleep at
night while a case is pending.
For this reason Mr.. Watson turns to
the lecture platform as means OF in
come, free from such burdensOme
anxiety and more in keeping with his
scholarly tastes. He has only one mis-
irving. 1t is that he will have to say
what he thinks, and he is uncertain
whether it will be popular. However,
the public seems to want it and 1t Is
likely that the demand for his talent
will be supplied
