President McCabe, of the w. &
c. R. railroad was in the city this
week looking after the business of
his road.
Several parties of surveyors are
out in the country near here laying
out lines.
Cllas. Rankert, ST., is erecting a
large two story residence OH his
farm northeast of the city.
Auditor Koontz is now feeling
mighty good toward the colnty com
missioners on account of their act
ion in giving him increased Office
facilities. They decided to buy
him a new desk and typewriter.
Both are needed in the auditor Of
fee and we can appreciate the state
of the affable auditors mind when
he succeeded in getting them.
At their meeting this week the
board of county commissioners dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of building a
new courthouse. The present struct-
Tire is far too small and inconven-
lent for the amount of work the Of
fcers are called upon to do. Besides
there is practically no Accommodations
for the large number of records and
valuable papers that are being piled
up, and the county stands to lose
everything of this nature in case OF
fire. Now that this county has
awakened from its long Rip Van
Wrinkle act we should have a suit
able court house by all means.

Monaghan Pheasants .

l. H. Dills, the newly appointed
game warden says: II am negotiat-
ing for another ring necked Mon
golian pheasants which will be
turned loose in this county. The
ones given their liberty about a
year ago are doing nicely, in fact
much better than we had looked
for. l am anxious that all lovers
of game birds give these birds all
the protection possible and assist
me in bringing to justice all VOL
ators of the game laws. If we can
guard these pheasants until 1908
as the state law specifies. we shall
then have a county we'll stocked
with birds. -
II am authorized to pay re-
ward of SIS to any person or per-
sons giving information that will
lead to the arrest and conviction
of anyone found guilty of killing
or capturing and keeping in cap
tivity any of these pheasants. Any
one desiring any of these birds and
will write me 1 will inform him
where they can be had for $50
per pair.

alsles, they came face to face with a gal
lery staircase hewn in the rock
They mounted to the apparent level
OF the roof of the big cave, and here
Ermyntrude and Armstrong were told to
sit in wicker chairs slung on poles, of
which there were several piled in a re-
cess Then they were blindfolded, though
so insecurity that Ermyntrude, woman
like, did not sCruple to lift the bandage
clear of her eyes, and Franks mask fell
around his neck before he had been
carried a hundred feet The Russians,
however, submitted themselves to the
same process, and fell in, in two long
lines, behind the guides.
Before the change of carriers and guides
had been effected twice Frank saw that
each set of men were acquainted with
different galleries, or workings, as the
miner would term them, and a stranger
would lose himself instantly in a dismal
labyrinth wandering about until he met
his death by a fall or by the slower process
of starvation.
The party turned right and left,
clambered up and down irregular tunnels,
followed some passages for three or four
minutes and others for as many seconds.
Six times they changed from leaders to
being led, until at last they faced another
great stair of stone, and here the chairs
were left.
"What do you think of this retreat?"
asked their Russian companion with a
smile as he held a torch over his head to
light the way to the stairs.
Are we in the bowels of the earth?"
inquired Ermyntrude who was thorough
ly scared by this eery adventure.
"No, mademoiselle. We have walked
through the hill. You have seen the
way in for our friends. When day
breaks you will be shown the way out
for our enemies.
Already they were sensible that the at
mosphere was cooler where they stood.
But after some one had gone ahead and
answered challenge they wet up the
stairway and found themselves il another
gallery higher and wider than any they
had traversed en- route. To reach it
they passed through a narrow door
roughly fashioned of thick copper plates.
Its lofty confines were darklv illuminated

advent of the newcomers, the sleepers
woke up, and instantly a babel of voices
relieved the tension of the silent passage
along the forbidding recesses which led
to this haven.
Ermyntrude more nervous now than
at any earlier moment of a most trying
episode, whispered to Frank: Ask
them if my father and brother are
here

his words reassuring tone which he was

PROHIBITION THE
REAL THING.

The Charlotte News, on the ami
versary of the day when the city voted
for prohibition, publishes a hundred
or more remarkable interviews from
the most representative men Of the
! town, stating their opinion that the
new law has been in every way bless
ing to the city
Prohibition in Charlotte has been
enforced as earnestly as possible
There have been many arrests both or
blind tigers and of persons VINO dealt
i'm the prescription method of dispens-
ing liquor. There has been no favorlt-
ism shown and the police. instead of
being blind, have apparently been
seeking consistently for light. The
mayor and the administration is In
sympathy with the effort to make
Charlotte dry and the interviews pub
lished by the News seem to show that
they have succeeded to marked de-
gree. The men selected come from all
professions and business and they are
unanimous in stating that since the

been less disorder, less crime and that
the progress of the city in business
way and the rise in the value OF real
estate has been steady.
Charlotte is to be congratulated In
that she seems to have given prohlbi-
ton a fair chance. Like other laws
prohibition, when it comes as the VIII
of a majority of the people especially,
deserves the support of all citizens. 1t
should be made stringent and it'should
prohibit in fact as well as in name.
That this has not always been the case
in towns where public sentiment has
voted out the saloons has merely had
the effect of leaving; the liquor ques~
ton open instead of settling it in the
way the people wish. After trying the
saloons, the people who vote them out
should by all means have the chance
of trying real prohibition. Charlotte
and Greensboro. with their energetic
officials and the strong public sentl-
ment of their citizens, are giving all
parties to a veXed question a square
deal" The majority rules and there
is no merit in a kick" from the min

it professed to accomplish.
1t is pleasant to know from the
News and the evidence it brings to its
support, that Charlotte not only has
real prohibition but that she finds it
success

| Lafayette We are told how Miss
Stone looks. Except as we knew she
was old enough not to capture ban
dit by eloping with him, we have
learned little of Miss Stone personally
But the News tells us:
She is a comfortable looking lady,
plump and with a mass of nut-proWh
l.hair, winch she wears parted ana
smoothly coiled in a large knot at
the back of her head. She has gray
eyes, good teeth and a manner so IulI
OF decision that one is not surprised TO
hear she is a daughter of the soVer-
eign State of Massachusetts,, where
numberlesS energetic persons nave
been born.
We are glad tho not surprised that
Miss Stone is comfortable; we are
pleased to record her plump; we are
pained that she has not forgotten and
forgiven.
For in spite of her fame and the
compliment involved in the price at
which she was at last reluctantly given
M and the prices which she collected
from the magazines, Miss Stone is
quoted as not thinking well either of
Macedonia or of Turkey Particularly
is she bitter against so elegant lady's
man as the Sultan of Turkey himself
against whom she brings the novel
charge of duplicity. In fact Miss Stone
was pessimistic in recounting her eX-
periences as missionary generally
One incident, in particular she adverts
to with peculiar pain:
The missionaries were on long and
lonesome journey, during which they
had met no one, when they saw APP
preaching them a caravan. Here,
they thought, lis some one to speak
to at all events" But when the cara
van drew nearer they perceived a long
sign decorating the sides of the mules
and it was Boston Rum
Think of meeting a sign like that
in the desert, And to be a missionary
from Boston! 1t was home, sweet
home, and yet so impossible of asso-
citation. No wonder Miss Stone re-
members the incident with grief; that
Boston to her curls, she had thus to
pass the Hub in the wilds without a
nod and with averted eyes!

How John Paul Jones was Appointed

To the Editor:-A few days ago, you
re-published from the Economist an
article written by Col. Crcecy, in which
commenting on the fact that John
Paul Jones was appointed in the navy
from North Carolina. he suggested
that the appointment was made
through the influence of Hon. Joseph
Hewes.
/ feel quite sure that that view is
correct When the Continental Con-
gress began to establish a navy, HeWeS
was appointed one of the Marine COM
mittee, which exercised the duties and
powers of a Navy Department, and
indeed sometimes it, is stated that Mr..
Hewes was the first de facto Secretary
of the Navy" In that capacity, 1t was
natural that Mr.. Hewes should exert
great influence in the appointment of
officers of the naval service from North
Carolina. the appointments being made
by the Marine committee. Some OH
GERS were appointed and commissioned
before the establishment of the Ma
rine committee, by General Washing
ton at Boston and by State authorities
and otherwise; but the organization
of the navy in q formal way took
place on the 22d of December, 1775,
and though Paul Jones may have
been employed earlier he was then
appointed lieutenant He seems to
have had the habit of making long
reports of his cruises and official ac-
tons to Mr.. Hewes. BY the kindness
of Hon. John Wood. of Edenton, /
have been furnished with one of these
reports made by Jones to Mr.. HeWes
dated con board the sloop Provi-
dence, New York, 18th of May, 1776.'
From that letter, it appc&fs that IN
timacy and friendship existed between
Jones and Hewes Jones writes about
his personal conduct, giving an ac-
count of his personal actions as he
would do to venerated friend who
had befriended him in the past, and
on whom he relied for future favors.
In the course of it, he says: Il should
esteem myself happy in being sent for
to Philadelphia to act under the more
immediate direction of Congress, es-
pecially in one of the new ships. |
must rely on your interest herein. Il
send this by the Commodore Stew
ard" MAY | hope for the honor of a
letter from you by his hand? 1t would
most signally oblige me and greatly add
to the favor already conferred on,
Sir Yours, etc.
Some question had arisen about Sc
niority of rank between Jones and an
other officer, and he mentions it in
this letter to Mr.. Hewes and says:
Il will cheerfully abide by what
you may think rght-at the same
time, / am ready at any tlme to nave
my pretensions inquired into by men
who are the judges"
From this favor already conferred
and from Jones Willingness to abide
by what Hewes may think right, one
sees the great probability that Jones
| owed his appointment to HeWes:

MISS STONE-A CE.

The name of Miss Helen Stone and
her in the Baltimore News comes with
that freshness of emotion with which
old friends sit down to talk over and
revivify scenes and incidents of their
youth 1t has been three years and
more since Miss Stone was under big
head lines, front page and left hand
column and as productive of rumors
as Shanghai of the capture of Port
Arthur. Miss Stone for three months
was an international episode, boon to
dun times, topic of breakfast table
talk, delight, speculation and q
heroine. She had offers of marriage
by the thousand theatre managers
We'd with one another to secure her for
the stage she figured in popular songs
and broke into the comic papers. Miss
Some was the real stuff. And now,
were it not for the Baltimore News,
she would be forgotten. But such is
the way of the world.
Lest oilers may have forgotten, it
must be said that Miss Stone was a
missionary who was travelling alone
except for woman companion some
where in Macedonia when she was
captured by brigands and held for ram
som. Immediately the papers famed
with the story The United States gov
eminent made representations to Tur-
key. The Sultan smiled and promised
new thing every day. War ships
were talked of and the armies of the
world got ready for mobilization. Still
the Sultan smiled and the bandits
walked down to the telegraph station
to wire that they would kill their cap
tive come this time next Tuesday un-
less they were Immediately paid hun
dred thousand dollars ransom. After
season of hysteria, there were actually
money which were paid to the bandits
and Miss Stone came back to write
for the magazines at prices commen-
surate with the price at which she
had been held. Then, like other won
ders which shake the world, Miss Stone
eVapOrdted from nollce. one credleo
as much stir and disappeared as quick
ly as the Fashoda incident or wal
about Venezuela.
But it is pleasant to meet Miss Stone
again and the News has done a SER
vice. We are glad to know that she
is looking we'll and that she is attend
ing the meeting of the Christian En-
deavorers and does not contemplate
another trip abroad. Miss Stone is ar
expensive piece of field artillery so tt
speak, and she has not yet recovered
entirely from the shock.
Another thing which was overlooked
when she was an issue, the News now
attends to since she has become 6
