Not so many years ago,
On the tides that shoreward swept,
Merchant vessels, swift or slow,
To the harbor leapt or crept;
From the fertile Indian isles
In hot southern seas they came,
Over oceans endless miles,
With red sunset fires ahame.
Fruited cargoes here they brought,
Guava, ginger, fig or prune,
Rice, and spice, and rare birds caught
In the sluggish tropic noon.
These old wharves re-echoed then
All the sounds of seaport trade,
Pulleys piled by strong armed men,
Noisy anchors cast and weighed;
Crashing, carrying, cheering loud,
Wild discordant bawl and brawl,
Black and white, a motley crowd!
All, but how we loved it ali.

OLD WHARVES.
pY ARTHul WENTWORTH EATON.

Proud old wharves, SO silent now,
laughter in your grim decay
Than in days when many prov
Sought you from the lower bay,
Symbols of dead dreams are We,
Symbols of the empty piers
Where our minds SO buoyantly
Anchored in the childish years.
Yet the barren tides that creep
Up the harbor night and morn,
Plunge and flash and laugh and leap
Round your bases, old and worn.
Nothing of real sadness bear,
For our ships have found since then
Wider wharves, in harbors where
They may come and come again;
Till Times petty traffic past, =
All the bawl and brawl and strife,
We are satisfied at last
With the wealth of endless life.

WILL SUE FOR FtE
Reopening of Scandal of
Tampering with Juryman.
The Southern Railway Refuses to Pay Promised
Fee to Attorney Employed 10 Defend
Juror Brown Who was Fined $50

The news comes to the News and OBJ
server that j. F. Gamble, Esq, a mem
Der of the Statesville bar, brought suit
against the Southern Railway for his
fee for defending the juror Brown, VINO
was fined $50 for sleeping with and talk
ing with a law agent of the Southern
Railway during the trial of certain
big suit against the railroad. Col. W. A
Henderson, general counsel of the South
ern Railway, employed Mr. Gamble to
defend juror Brown, and the railroad
has not paid the fee. Mr.. Gamble is said
to be tired of waiting for his fee and
will bring suit for it's payment.
That whole affair was scandalous
one, involving officials or employees OF
the Southern Railway in the most dis
reputable conduct and the whole State
rung with indignation against the dis
honorable tampering with the jury. The
law agent was convicted and the juror
was fined $50. Both ought to have been
made to wear stripes.
The sequal to the whole disgraceful
affair is that after employing an at
torney to defend the juror the Southern
law agent slept with, the Southern Rail-
way refuses to pay the fee.
If it doesn't pay it pretty quick, there
will be another public airing of abe
whole disgraceful scandal.

gested condition of our hospitals for the
insane. This is that when it is shown
that idiots in the public institutions are
incurable, they shall be removed to some
private hospital. to be cared for at the
expense of their relatives or guardians,
and thus make room for urgent cases In
the public asylums.
Mr. Erwin explained his bill before
the committee, saying that it was intend
ed to allow the sanatoriums in North
Carolina to hold the patients sent there
just as the public institutions have the
right to do. The bill had been care
fully drawn from the laws regulating
such private hospitals in other States.
Mr.. Morton feared that it might open
loop-hole by which INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons could confine wealthy relatives. and
suggested that the provisions regulating
commitment should be the same as in the
law regarding hepublic hospitals.
However. it was shown that these pro-
visions were practically the same, and
the bill was approved by the physicians
present, Drs. Goode, of Cleveland, and
Stevenson, of Iredell.
FINALLY. on motion of Mr.. Morton, the
bill was referred to the subsection of
the committee of which Mr. Carlton is
chairman Mr. Carlton thought that a
law of 1899 practically covered the case.
