eigh, years ago had very severe cold
which physicians said was very near

Justice Fuller to the Rescue.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
The News was unduly depressed
when Judge Purnell decided that the
Day -Cuyler affidavit justified
throwing the road into the hands OF
a receiver. 1t did not consider that
final. 1t hopes it is not unduly elat-
ed that higher authorityhas made
a decision of the side, for which it
has contended. The News has stood
by the Administration, by the rights
of the State in the control OF this
property, and with certain criticisms
that it thought merited, it has con-
tended that the mistakes that have
been made in the management,
coupled as they are with the great
Improvement of the property, were
not enough to justify the action OF
Judge Purnell.
1t will be recalled in this rather
dramatic history that K. S. Finch
made out an affidavit and Judge
Purnell, without notice, threw the
railroad into the hands Of receiver,
one V. E. McBee. That Finch and
McBee were indicated for conspiracy,
and are now under bond to answer
to the Superior Court for that crime.
That Judge Purnell dismissed TIE re-
ceivership, protesting to be "hishly
indignant" that he had been SO i'm
posed upon. That the same affida-
Wit, even to the copying OF the bad
Latin, was made by Cuyler. Where
upon Judge Purnell reversed him
self and made Meares, of Whining
ton, receiver. and the same McBee
coreceiver. Then Justice Fuller re-
versed Judge Purnell. He has said
in no uncertain tones, Glands off. .
a petition for a receivership can be
conducted in an orderly way next
October if anybody wants to make
it. Possibly one of the conspirators
will not be at liberty to act as re-
ceiver at that time.
And the News is mighty glad that
it has stood by the State and its in
terests and has stood for the rights
of the State against unwarranted
Federal interference with State cor
porations.

Dead, See me.

To see what the weather Is like.
You will find your old friend the first

At the bat
Doing Its little song and dance

Opening the weather happens to offer.

At the croakers who sing

And somehow fear

Nations may rise, flourish like tall
Sycamore and then step on banana peel

The million dollars to which you expect
to fall heir
May not be there
When you back up your wagon to haul 1t

The cows may not come home at the close

But the little old last years straw hat
Stands pat

pure Romance style in the Scandina-
Wan north. Beneath the transept and
the choir is the crypt, one of the
largest in the world. It is more than
100 feet in length, this subterranean
part of the church, and supported by
lates how the giant Finn had under
taken to build the church for Lauren
thus, the patron saint, on condition
that If he could not guess the name Of
the giant before the work was COM
pleted, the latter was to have as his
reward the sun and the moon or the
saints two eyes.
Luckily one day the saint over
heard the giants wife singing to her
child a cradle song of it's fathers
deeds, and all unwittingly she let fall
the name Of Finn. The saint hurried
to the cathedral, whose steeples the
giant was Just finishing. He called
out the name of Finn, asking him to
come down. This the giant did, but
whole work He was straightway
turned to stone and his wife likewise.
In the crypt are their images, clutch
ing at the foundations in a stony en-
brace. The saga says that the cathe-
dral will never be wholly completed.
It's restoration was begun In l843 and
finished in 1880, altho in 50 vast a
structure some repairs WlAi always NC

North of the cathedral is the an

it was situated the palace Of the
Catholic archbishops; on this site the
first university house was built, later
enlarged and turned into university
