In Re Titles Military.

At the Marlboro last night south
erner and New Yorker were discuss
ing titles north and titles south, espe,
cially titles military. Military titles
south don't mean much, said the New
Yorker. "Any one who desires can be
a colonel, and none of your real militia
ry men are less than generals" Just
then tall, military-looking man, with
gray hair and moustache, wearing a
sweeping frock coat and silk hat, enter
ed the room.
"Do you know him?" asked the
southern.
"No, but he looks like sotherner, +"
was the reply.
"That is Col. Levin Lake, of Balti-
more"
ga colonel, of course"
"Of course, but he disapproves your
claim. That man was one of the bray
est leaders in the confederate army. He
was the youngest man to command a
full brigade"
"How is it, then, he is not a general?"
"We will ask him, and the southern
er introduced the two and put the ques-
tion.
"Well, said Col. Lake. "I would
have been general, right enough, if it
had not been for Gen. Sherman. He
came right along, sir, on that little
march of his, and captured my commits
sion. That, sir, is why 1 am only a
colonel. New Iork Tribune.

Prltchard and Roosevelt are Reported
"At Outs"

Asheville, N. O., Nov. 49, Intelli-
gence reached this city today that Pres
ident Roosevelt and Senator Pritchard
are "at outs" 1t came like bolt from
the blue sky into republican ranks
hereabouts. Ithad been given out that
Senator Pritchard had gone to Wash
ington to confer with the president over
southern political conditions, and this
move seemed to indicate that the rela-
tions between the chief executive and
the North Carolina senator were at
least amicable. Politicians were sur
prised, therefore, to hear that the SEN
ator had spent Tuesday at Washington
without going near the white house.
There appears reason to believe that
the president has given the "lilly white"
movement, in which the North Carolina
senator has figured so conspicuously its
death blow and Washington papers
state that Senator Pritchard is very in
dignant. His Indignation grows out of
the fact that he believed the president
approved of his course in North Carroll
ma and Alabama, in excluding negro
delegates from the republican state
conventions, while it now appears that
the chief executive has changed front,
at the instance of Clarkson and Post
master General Payne.

Death Blow TO Night-Hawklng.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 15.-Attor-
ney-GeneralWhittake has dealt death
blow to "night-hawking" and fee-grab-
bing in this county. For some time he
has had under consideration the costs
bill sent up by certain justices of the
peace doing business in the city, for the
the past quarter. The total amount of
these costs was "a, ,00S. O5, as certified to
the circuit court by the justices of the
peace. There were 65S bills of costs,
and of this number the attorney general
disallowed 565 and approved the bal
ance. In other words, the total amount
of costs he has allowed for the past
quarter is only 1851, about one-eigth Of
the amount originallyasked for by the
justices of the peace. In the disallow-
ed cases the encouragement endorse
ment on each was " frivolous and
brought for the purpose of securing
fees.
This is the most terrific blow ever
dealt the fee-grabbers in this county.
The night-hawking was broken up
about three years ago, but it soon came
into vogue again, and for quarter after
quarter the free-grabbers have been
drawing thousands and thousands of
dollars from the county treasury, There
are only six of seven justices who are
involved, land the most of them are men
who have been elected to office in dis
trits outside of the city.

About Henry watterSOn.

Henry Watterson has been recogniz-
ed as one of the most forceful, brilliant
and picturesque writer's in America for
forty years.
He was originally destined to become
a pianist and studied in Paris. As a
child he appeared in q concert with
Patti. A felon made the amputation of
one joint of his thumb necessary and
turned him into journalism,
He was born in Washington, al
though the family home was in Tennes-
see, served in the confederate army as
q staff officer, started paper in Chatta-
nooga, nearly starved in Cincinnati,
bought an interest in Nashville paper
and went to Louisville in 1885,
He has been a hard fighter all his life
of sixty-two years,
He has been called "Light Horse
Harry" "Harry Hotspur," D." "Dashing
Harry of the West, and many things
that wouldn't look we'll in print.
He is the author of the phrase "the
stareyed Goddess of Reform"-the same
meaning the tariff.
In his attack upon the smart set these
are some of the things Mr.. Watterson
said:
"The term smart set was adopted
by bad society to save itself from a
mole odious description.
'"The women are equally depraved
with the men. They know all the dirt
that men know. They talk freely with
men of things forbidden the decent and
virtuous. The very question of sex be-
comes interchangeable.
"The women of this smart set no
longer pretend to recognize virtue even
as female accomplishment. Ignorance
is badge of delinquency.
'It is true we have come to beauti-
full pass if the simpering Johnnies and
the tough girls that make Sherry's and
Delmonico's hum, irradiate the corri-
dors of the Waldorf-Astoria with the
exhalation Of their unclean lives and
thoughts are to be accepted, even by
inference, as the best society.
"The -Four Hundred are rotten
through and through, without one re-
deeming feature.
"Most of the unclean birds of gaudy
and therefore of conspicuous plumage
fly from gilded bough to bough, foul
ing the very air as they twitter their
affectations of social supremacy, with
no one to shy brick and cry scat, you

eldest Man Iii ihe World.

Harrodsburg, KY, Nov. 11.-Eliiah
Bledsoe, corlored, probably the oldest
man in the world, died here this morn
ing. He claimed to be 1873 years of
age, and there is hardly a doubt that he
was as old as stated.
Capt. p. b. Thompson, who is 81, and
j. II. Stagg, aged So, say that when
they were little tots Elijah was an old
man. He could recount many incidents
of the war of 1912, which he could not
have known in any way but by observa-
tion. When Lafayette visited this
place in 1924 Uncle Lige took him some
water for his ablutions and was pre-
sented with some silver by the noted
Frenchman. He also met the crafty
Aaron Burr when he left the paradisai-
cial retreat of Blennerhassett and came
here. He often stated that he was
charmed with Lafayette, but disliked
Burr on general principles.
In 1920 Elijah's master pitted him
against another negro whose master
was summering at Crab Orchard
Springs. The race was to be from the
latter place to Perryville, a distance of
30 miles. The master whose darky was
swiftest was to get both negroes. Elijah
made the run in four hours. His rival
fell dead half way between the places.
Until few days ago the old man
earned living by manufacturing and
selling shuck mats, but growing too
feeble to toll, he went over the hill to
the poorhouse, where he died. 1t is
said that he was married 13 times and
was the father of "A children. He was
born in Virginia.

An English Author Wrote,

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no
flowers, no leaves-November!" Many
Americans would add no freedom from
catarrh, which is so aggravated during
this month that it becomes constantly
troublesome. There is abundant proof
that catarrh is a constitutional disease.
It is related to scrofula and consump-
tion, being one of the wasting diseases.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has shown that
what is capable of eradicating scrofula
completely cures catarrh and taken in
time prevents consumption. We can
not see how any sufferer can put of
taking this medicine, in view Of the
widely published record of its radical
and permanent cures, 1t is undoubt
