United States and the reasonable
supposition is that they will exercise
it. Ii may take somewhat the course
of the James-Howard case, from
Rowan, in which case has been
established the fact that there are
endless chains in other things than
cherry tree transactions.

Col. Odds: A very interesting
pamphlet is in course of preparation
here, giving information secured for
the first time regarding the private
colleges and schools in this State. 1t
will say there IRE Is we'll defined
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges, and that in
all these there are 2,7OO students.
There r 325 private schools, in
Guiding high schools and in attend
ance on these there are at least 30, 900
pupils during the year. The teach
ers in $50 of these teach public

Charlotte Observer: District At
torney Holton did we'll to reject the
proposition made to him in Washing
ton yesterday by the attorneys for
the Amos Owen Cherry Tree Com
pany, that if the indictments against
them were dismissed they would
turn over for distribution among
their victims $50, 900. This cfer
vas made through attorneys who
would naturally have much influence
with Mr.. Holton, and it Is a pleasure
to see that he had the backbone to
refuse &c consider. There are things
in this world which money cannot
atone for, and the crime of these
cherry tree fakirs is one of them.

Greensboro Record: A man who
purchased some of it last evening
tork d sample OF shipstuf to police
headquarters TO be examined. In
appearance it looks like finely ground
saw dust. A match vas applied TO
it and it pmelled exactly like oOrn
cobs when burning. It is the opin-
ion of those who made only an ex
animation with the naked eye that
it is composed of corn stalks, cobs
and saw dust ground together, with
perhaps a few grains of oats TO the
bushel. 1t was purchased from a
groceryman in Greensboro, and will
be ohemic lily analysed. Not long
ago G. Will Armfirld had a horse to
die after eating stuff like this, and
he is satisfied this is what killed
him.
