MIR. DOOLEY TO-DAY.

Mr.. Dooley is with us today and
will be for many Sundays. Mr.. Fin
ley Peter Dunno, the great creator of
the great Dooley is on deck again
and among the first to hear what he
has to say are the thousands of
readers of the "Old Reliable"
1t is a genuine demand of the times
which has again brought forth these
articles, and again given the people
chance to hear the famous old philo-
sopher and humorist after silence
of two years. For the next year he
has agreed to give his views of pub
uic men and affairs for the benefit
of our readers. Everyone wants to
read what Dooley has to say. His
talks are better than stories. fuller of
meat than most editorial pages, more
entertaining than a favorite play, and
funnier than the best comic sections.

JUST PURE GRIT.

There is a demand for pure grit in
life, and when you find a man made
in the image of his God with this
sort of stuff in him you are going
to find a winner.
Grit tells. not luck. One is phan-
tasm of the brain, the other is the
well regulated play of mentality and
muscle. One is a craven that simply
stands and waits. the other is hero
that gets into the hot of the fight.
One is a feebler trif1er, the other is
decision itself.
The world owes no man a living.
Too long have the winners against an
adverse fate chanted this delusive
song The world owes that man a
living who works for 1t. by the
sweat of your brow" is God given. 1t
means work, work, work, and behind
it is grit, grit, grit. The world
pauses and applauds the architect of
his own fortune. 1t has laurels for
both the captain of industry and the
private in the ranks. but 1T is ready
to snuff out the idler, who with a
sigh waits for luck, or for something
to turn uD.
Here is a story that is full of illus
tration of the real brand of grit. 1t
is a true story, and it comes from
the Kinston Free Press. 1t does not
matter where the man-for man he
is-comes from, or what's his name.
It's the grit in the story that sticks,
and here it is:
"a young man who came to this
city to solicit orders for certain kind
of pictures was disappointed in meet
ing his employer here and being
financially embarrassed and a stranger
in the city with true manly grit took
a pick and shovel and went to work
on the street works now in progress.
He was unused to so hard work and
though he had the grit. the job was
too much for him and it was only a
short while before his hands were
SO badly blistered that it was impos-
Sible for him to continue. Some
sympathetic bystanders approaching
his spirit and also his predicament.

SUPERIOR COURT IN CATAWBA.
Some of the More Important Cases to
Come Up This Week.
Especial to News and Observer.


Newton, N. c., July 9.-The July
term of Catawba Superior court will
open Monday morning with Hon.
Thomas A. Mcneil presiding. The
term will last two weeks. There are
-fifty-four criminal cases on docket, di-
vided into the following classes: Ten
for assault and affrayS, six for carry
ing concealed weapons, four for lar
ceny, fourteen for failing to list prop
erty for taxation, two for abandon
ment, thirteen for selling liquor, and
the remaining for minor offenses.
The most of the liquor cases can be
traced indirectly to the interest work
ed by the anti-Saloon League of this
place, and the chances of getting
whiskey anywhere around here are
very scarce.
There is one case of false pretence
in which the defendant wired that he
had seflt in orders for goods to the
Radical Remedy Company, of Hick-
DRY, and wanted expense money. The
cost was sent, but no orders ever
turned ".
The civil docket contained thirty
two cases, three of which have al
ready been to the Supreme Court and
new trials granted. These three are
hard fought cases. The other cases
of most interest are: M. w. Hatton
VS.. A. j. Bolin and wife. and j. M:
Huffman and others VS.. w. ID. Ekard
and others.
The case of Hatton VS.. Bolin is a
suit involving Claremont College at
Hickory. Hatton, the former pfesi-
dent, sold out the school together with
the furniture, books, etc, and the
good will of the school to Bolin, taking
a mortgage for the balance due. He
now brings suit for the purchase
money still due. Bolin sets up the
counter claim that Hatton was not
the owner of all the property sold,
and that he has violated his contract
not to solicit pupils from North Car
DINA. He claims that while in Bris-
tol, Va, in charge of a college there,
Hatton wrote to students whom he
knew intended coming to Claremont,
and urged them to come to Bristol in
stead, and also tried to get some of
the Claremont teachers to change
their positions. The fight will be in
teresting to say the least.
The other case is a contest over q
church decided to the trustees of the
Evangelical Lutheran church. Since
the deed was made, there has been
a division among the members, part
affillating with the Synod of Tennes-
see and part with the Synod of Ohio.
The courts have been called on to
settle which is the proper branch TO
hold the church.

MORNING TONIC.
(Success.)

Most unhappy people have become
so by gradually forming a habit oil
unhappiness, complaining about the
weather, finding fault with their food,
with crowded cars and with disagree
able companions or work. A habit OF
complaining, of criticizing, of fault-
finding, of grumbling over trifies,
habit of looking for shadows, is a
most unfortunate habit to contract,
especially in early life, for after awhile
the victim becomes a slave. All of the
impulses become perverted until the
tendency to pessimism. to synicism is
chronic.

TRULY A SPLENDID SERVICE.

There are no set of men who work
better than those whose labors go
to make the Associated Press-the
greatest news gathering service in the
world-of real value to the great
reading public.
During the past week it has rend-
cred q magnificent service from ST.
Louis and at the same time has
omitted nothing from it's almost per-
feet service of news gathering the
world over. In view of this the
General order" issued by Mr.. Mel
vile e. Stone, himself a tireless
worker, the General Manager of the
Associated Press, now on the ground
at st. Louis. is a tribute due and
handsomely paid. Mr.. Stone last
night wired the following over the
Associated Press Circuit:
General orders: Before the close
of the convention ] desire to thank
every gentleman in the service of the
Associated Press for the exceptional
work done during the past week.
First: To the editorial and oper-
ating force at st. Louis, where under
very trying circumstances, such ener-
gy and devotion has been shown as
to merit the thanks of every news
paper and indeed the whole public
of the country.
Second: To the Associated Press
in every part of the United States,
who have been called upon to bear
a heavy strain, but have kept their
vigil uncomplainingly and have made
the splendid service of the week pos
sible."
Every word of the above is de-
served, and this paper takes this OPP
portunity to specially note the splen-
did service, and to compliment it.

The presentment of the grand jury for March

spector Immediately concerned, and declares
that he ought TO be dismissed at once. 1t also

be passed as grossly defective, and severely

MARYLAND LEADERS AT ODDS.

Plans afoot n Maryland for DISTINGUISHING
the negro seem 70 have suffered a serious
check. A Democratic legislature and a Demo
cratic Governor have locked horns over the
submission TO the voters Of the suffrage
amendment TO the constitution recently rushed
through the legislative branch at Annapolis.
We have already discussed at length the lin
ttations put on the right OF suffrage by the
proposed amendment. 1t borrows the Missis-
sirpi understanding" test and compels an ap-
plicant for registration 20 read or "construe
intnslicenfly" when read 10 him any given
section OF the State constitution. Then ii ex-
empts from the application Of this test any

crcise the right Of suffrage under the laws Of
Maryland prior 10 January ], 1865. Under the
constitution and laws OF Maryland prior TO
January I. 1865. only white" citizens of the
United States could vote; and, in creating two
classes Of exempts from The general Iliteracy
test. the proposed amendment openly re-enacts
restrictions on the suffrage which it was the
express purpose OF the Fifteenth Amendment TO
the federal Constitution 10 sweep away.
The Governor OF Maryland, the Hon. Edwin
Warfeld q Democrat Of Independence and char
acter strongly opposes the submission of a suf-
frsce amendment so plainly repugnant 20 the
highest federal law. He favOrs a restriction

whatever his color, an equal chance before the
amended law lie would discard the humbug

siliterate whites well illiterate blacks
work out their own salvation.
But partisan spirit In the legislature con-
demns the Governors project as too liberal and
TOO honest The Democratic majority at An
na polls does not want to pass an honest suf-
frage restriction law. Ii wants TO throw the
mower OF registration into the bands Of agents
OF its own choosing who will administer Hit

OF ifs set purposes is TO abolish az soon as prec-
