Official announcement has been made
by General Passenger Agent c. b. Ryan,
of the Seaboard Air Line, of the promotion
of Mr.. H. S. Leard from Travelling Pas
senger Agent at Raleigh to District Pas
senger Agent with headquarters at Rich

Smith, as District Passenger Agent at
Richmond back to his former home in this
city as Travelling Passenger Agent, the
changes effective September LIST.
The promotion of Mr. Leard was expect
ed for some time and railroad men gener-
ally have known that the future held in
store something good for him. The an
nouncement has caused Mr.. Leard to be
the recipient of congratulations from every
hand, and yet his departure from this city
is probably more generally regretted than
any transfer that has occurred In railroad
circles for some time. Throughout his
entire territory, the State of North Caro-
lima, Mr.. Lizards departure for more I'M
portant fields where remuneration is
greater, too, sincere regret is expressed by
thousands of friends. He has been enc

rs THIS DEWEY?
A Well Dressed Man Plunges Into the River
at New York.

New York, Aug. ia smooth-shav-
Ell man, about thirty years old. wearing
blue serge suit. jumped into the river
from the Pennsylvania line ferryboat
Philadelphia as it drew near the landing
place at the foot of West Twenty-third
street at midnight last. After he man got
on at Jersey City, he paced across the for
ward deck smoking a cigar until he pas
sengers began to gather about him as the
boat neared the dock. He then threw his
cigar into the water, saying:
''There goes a good cigar!'
He hen approached closer to the railing,
and added:
''And here goes a bad man!
Before anyone could interfere he had
leaped nimbly over the rail and thrown
himself into the stream. The mans words
and the splash of water attracted the at
tention of his fellow-passengers. They
saw the water close about him. but in the
darkness could not tell whether he again
rose to the surface.
Boats were quickly lowered containing
searchers armed with lanterns These ayere
joined by Policeman Leidler, by whose Gi-
dection a wide area was covered by the
searchers. 1t was in vain that they looked
for the man, however, He apparently did
not come up again, or, if he did, he made
no cutlery and permitted himself to sink
at once.
The man was unknown to the passengers
on the ferryboat. His appearance indicat-
ed that his station in life was good. The

henceforth must be heard in the coun-
ellis of the Nations; whose guns must
be regarded by the strongest of the gov
ernments, and whose Institutions must
claim recognition from all mankind.
The Nation, of which we form a part,
and whose glorious achievements, Ladies,
you commemorate, has come to this
world wide and honored recognition
among the great Nations, by several sue
cessive steps. The first was taken at
Bunker Hill, when farmers, shop-keepers
and leatherclad hunters discharged their
rusty old musketry at the well-dlscipEned
British forces. The last was in Manila
Bay, on the flagship Olympia, when Ad-
miral Dewey quietly said: ''Gridley,
when you are ready, you may fire.
1t is because of these three mighty
facts of American history that the
worlds wise people-those old mossback
nations-have been compelled to recog-
nize the United States as a great World
Power, whose strong hand of liberty is
oGtstretched, to the end, that tyranny
may hide its head and that the down
trOdden of humanity may rise up to the
dignity of true manhood and to ;he wor-
ship OF the true God.
There are some very powerful factors
entering into the true greatness of our
beloved Nation. 1t is the only one on the
face of the earth whose people are thor
oughly and unequivocally united in its
form of government. 1t is the greatest
commercial nation in the world No
where has material prosperity such a
strong sure foot as here. The social
northumberland life of the American peo-
pie is receiving due recognition from
older and long-cultured people. The
church of America is freer more active
and more practical in its teachings than
in any other land.
Such facts as have now been stated
should inspire every Americal citizen with
true joyful patriotism.
1t is useless to dwell upon the charm
and force of anything DR.. Moment has
said, as all who have heard him must
feel any praise would inadequately ex-
press the benefit or pleasure his thoughts
and words invariably convey. Like a
magic wand his intellect touches every
subject and his listeners are amazed to
behold a literary treat undreamed of
before. His mind is so replete with such
varied and extensive information and his
spirit is so responsive to all that is joy
Gus and good that every subject he
touches sparkles with brilliancy and is
full of interest, made SO by his gifted
mind.
Truly, all three Historical Societies
felt they owed this able man a debt of
gratitude for his instructive and charm
ing address.
Mrs. Horace B. Dowells high, clear.
beautiful voice took up the patriotic re-
frain of DR.. Moments talk, by singing
"The Star Spangled Banner in a most
inspiring manner, and further delighted
her listeners by responding to requests
for other songs. Mr.. Dowell also added
to the pleasure of the occasion with some
instrumental music of his own compost
ticn.
Following the literary and musical treat
our graceful and generous hostess served
dainty refreshments which ended the first
meeting of these historical societies. Every
member present, carried away the hope
that this first meeting would not be the
last.

HAS TASTED ONE YEAR
A Freak in the State Museum
That Breaks All
Records.

One OF the two rattlesnakes in the State
musem will complete the time for the
longest fast on record here week after
next, when, if the snake lives, exactly one
year will have expired since the reptile
partook of food. The other RATHER has
had good appetite since his confinement
at the museum and has grown fat on the
English sparrows and other live birds
which have been dropped into his apart
ment.
The two snakes which have attracted so
much attention during the past year are
from opposite parts of North Carolina and
some interest is manifested in the cause
OF total abstinence on the part of the rat
tier from the west, while his eastern
kinsman is growing fat. The snake from
the mountains is believed by some to be
accustomed to a greater number of winter
that he does not yet understand that he
is not passing through that stage. He is
slowly but surely growing thinner day by
day and it is predicted that unless the fast
is soon broken there will be no necessity
of drying the skin.
The only other live snake in the museum
never lasts and has a capacity surprising
to all. This is a bull snake and his neck
Is little more than an inch in diameter
yet the reptile swallows rats from two
to two and hall inches in diameter. He
can swallow two insuccessoin and within
a comparatively short time his body is
normal again and the rats have been COM
pletely crushed.
For good reasons the snakes have baan
removed from the main floor of the mu-
scum to the first floor. where they are
constantly on exhibition.

The work of double tracking the Chesa-
peake and Ohio from Richmond to New
port News is well under way and when
this is completed it will give the c. and
o. the advantage over all lines running
east and west for record breaking runs. At
the present time the c. and O. has on
the handsomest train in the South and
a schedule that attracts. The run from
Richmond to Newport News is made at a
mile a minute clip and only one stop is
made. The time from Richmond to Nor
folk has been cut to two hours and twenty
minutes and twelve miles of this is by

If any clue has been found which
points to the detection of the unspeak-
ably criminal person who opened the
switch at the Ozark Mill Monday night
and wrecked the Southerns passenger
train, the fact has not been made known
But the switch was open-there it was
to show for itself. An hour before, trains
east and west had passed over it in
safety. Who opened it? That is a ques-
ton, the answer to which has an interest
for the railroad people, for all travelling
people, for this community, and for the
town OF Gastonia; for the crime was per-
petrated within the town limits. 1t is
too horrible a crime to be forgotten and
dismissed with the removal of the wreck

Il have always noticed one thing about
rattlesnakes," said Simon Kent OF Gin
ton county, "and that is that if | am trout
fishing and the trout are biting good I
am certain to run across all the rattle
snakes any snake hunter would care to
find IN days hunting for them. But if
the trout are not biting briskly will not
run across a RATHER maybe all day long.
Il can't explain why it is, because /
don't know l can't account for it any
more than / can account of the fact that
there are always rattlesnakes where there
are trout and huckleberries, or for that
other curious fact that there is never
malaria where you find this combination
OF reptile, fish and fruit. l am speaking
OF our own brilliant hued and up to snuff
rattlesnake, and not the lazy, overgrown
vindictive RATHER of Florida. Texas and
other unfavored localities where poisonous
reptiles seem to breed along with fevers.
Wherever you find one of our ever
cheerful rattlers giving forth its music
and telling you to watch out, there Won
will find the purest air and the highest
dryest land. AS long as you live in a
country where you have to kick RATHER
off your doorstep every now and then
you needn't be afraid of chlls and fever
sneaking across your threshold

should be just the one for people to seek"
