An Important Court Decision.

The Atlanta Journal says that
the Supreme Court of Georgia
holds, in recent decision written
by Justice Lamar, that stockhold-
ers in all corporations become, by
the very fact of holding stock,
participants to a trust for the
benefit of the.creditors Of such COR
porations. Under this opinion,
subscribers to the stock of con-
cernn will hereafter be liable for
the full amount of the debts con-
tracted, and in the event that the
concern collapses the creditors
will be protected. Even if no
more than 20 per cent. Of the face
value of the stock of concern
has been paid up, and the corpor-
alton goes under, the stockholders
are liable for the other 80 p per
csnt.-Charlotte Observer.

The Vagrancy Law.

Reports from several communi-
ties in the State show that the au-
thorities are enforcing the new
law against vagrants. Raleigh
was among the first to open up
the campaign against gamblers
and others who have no visible
means of support. The law is
adequate and the enforcement of
it now rests with the officers of
the law. Every town and village
in North Carolina should see to
the enforcement of the vagrancy
law. This Is no age for loafing.
The idle mind is a fertile field for
the operations of the devil. The
same law which applies in Raleigh
covers Charlotte also, aud it is to
be hoped that the local authori-
ties will give a care to the vagrants
and all who come under viola
tion of the law.-Charlotte News,

Presentment Of Danger.

In a sermon Sunday the Rev.
Mr.. Rudy, pastor of the First
Christian Church in Sedalia, used
the following anecdote to illus
trate a point:
"About ten years years ago l
talked with a man in Henry coun-
ty, Mo-, who gave me this peculiar
experience of his. He said: L
was ploughing about corn, and
about the middle of the after
noon, when [ came to the end of
the field, | had a peculiar sense
of dread or fear. I unlocked my
team and drove home. I could
give little reason for what [ was
doing quitting my work in the
middle of the afternoon-but I
was not home ten minutes until [
wss hurrylng my wife and chill
dren into cyclone cave. Our
little house was swept away, and
had [ not followed what seemed a
vague impulse my family might
have been killed. kansas City

Why Not All Advertise.

An English clergymen, being
asked by an advertising magazine
whether, in his opinion,g gchurches
should advertise, replied thus:
''Of course. It is as legitimate
for churches to advertise to draw
people to hear the word of God,
in order that they may get bless
ing: as it Is for shops to advertise
in order that they may draw peo-
pie to buy goods. Of course, a
minister OF the gospel should
avoid anything that seems like a
paradeof himself inhis advertising,
but the churches have something
good to tell, and they ought to let
people know it'll am not ashamed
of the gospel. I want everybody to
hear it. It has been my JOY to see
thousands of wide-awake business
men all around the world brought
to Christ through the gospel, and
[ have received countless letters
from them thanking me for what
they have received. / am glad
that we have advertised"
That is a practical and sensible
view which will hardly be contro-
verted And if the preachers
may advertise why not the physi.
clans. if they confne themselves
to conservative and dignified an
nouncements?-Charleston Post.

AYEAY RARE OCCURRENCE.
Salvation lAss Prophesiss, Correctly as
to a Glft.

"GlYe me that ten cents, and
fore sAturday night you will have
ten dollars" These words were
spoken last Wednesday afternoon
by a young woman-a member of
the salyation Army-in answer
to the statement of clerk in q
West Trade street shoe store, who
said "this is my last dime.''
While on her wonted rounds
about the city, the young woman
visited the store, and there asked
the moneyed assistance for carry
ing on the Christian work Of the
army. When she approached the
man in the store, he, expressed his
embarrassment by reason of low
funds, and emphasized the fact
that his last ten cents was then in
his pocket. Whether by pre-
science, or some of the strangely.
cravsd and unknown arts of faith,
the call for help was repeated and
in the words already employed.
The money was given to the wo-
man.
The proprietor Of the store was
at that hour many miles from the
city; but he returned the next
day-Thursday. After survey
of local conditions, and an exami-
nation of sales records, he called
his clerk to him, and placed in
his hands ten silver dollars, Sur
prise was in the eyes and voice of
the young salesman as he ques-
toned his employer. The money
was given as an additional mark
of favor and appreciation for SER
vices faithfully rendered. The
ten cents had gone to charity.
fSaturday was even then two days
removed; but the words of the
toiler in the Salvation Army were
fulfilled !--Charlotte Observer.

Davie County News.

While working the public road
in Jerusalem township one day
last week dispute arose between
Thedie Stewart and Cicero Mot
ley, and the former struck the
lat ter over the head with a farm
shovel, inf1icting a severe cut on
the face the jaw being cut open to
the bone, and the nose being al
most severed.
DR.. NJ. D. Kimbrough, county
superinendent of health, informs
us that there are II cases of
smallpox IN tho Cornatzer section
of the county, and says it is in
worse form than formerly, one
case having died. He says, how
ever, that the situation is pretty
we'll in hand now, and does not
think there is danger of its spread
ing further if proper precaution
is used.
The spring term Of Davie supe-
rior court convened here Monday.
Owing to the prevalence of small
pox IN the county, most of the
cases on both criminal and civil
dockets were continued until the
fall term, and court adjourned
Tuesday afternoon. The two
homicide cases, viz: Robert Will
liams, for killing Lewis Laird,
and the nergo Jim Smith for the
killing of another negro two years
ago, were continued " 9

White Case Before the Supreme Court.

The appeal case of Thomas and
Chalmers White, murderers of
Russell Sheriff., of Mt. Ulla, was
argued before the Supreme Court
yesterday. The appeal was for a
new trial and has been closely con-
tested. The decision of the court
has not yet been made known.
They were only sentenced for a
term of six years In the peniten-
tiary, considered by many to be a
very light one.

Wedding Ring Found on Harrow.

A blacksmith at Aswarby, near
Sleaford, has made a most curious
discovery.
He received from a neighboring
farmstead a harrow for repairs,
and while these were being exc.
cuted a % carat gold wedding
ring was found sticking on to one
of the teeth of the implement.
It IS supposed that the ring was
lost on the land and that it was
picked up by the harrow in the
course Of Its work.-Reynolds'

G. E. Fesperman's store, demolish-
ing the building, it crushed,
scattered and soaked his stock

His stock was valued at several

Friendship Methodist church
was moved almost from it's foun-
dations.
D. J. Millers's kitchen was
wrecked and the parsonage of the
Methodist church, occupied by
Rev. J. E. Gray, had a chimney
blown off and through the roof.
The family of R. A. Davis had
ride in their dwelling of several
feet. The building was carried
from it's foundations, hut no one
was hurt.
The roof of the new shops at
Spencer was partly torn off.
Estimates of the damage done
by the storm vary considerably,
but the aggregate will run up into
the thousands. By prudent man.
agement it is thought $40, 900 will
replace the the damage done in
Salisbury and 1900 or $4,000 in

SMALL TOWN IS BEST.
An Effort to Show Why the Big City is Un-
desirable for a Young Man.

It is our belief that in America
We have too many cities which
are too large and country which
is to meagerly populated. We
prophesy coming disintegration
Of massed populations, and their
distribution in more sane and
industrially more desirable fash
ion.
The small town is next to the
country. It is better environ
ment for the young man than is
the great metropolis toward which
so many turn their eyes. Trolley
cars, rural deliveries, trades cata-
logues and mail order periodicals
have done very much to change
the isolation which formerly went
with in the country. It is inn
proving, and with it improves the
condition of life in the small
town. Heretofore our young men
have left the country for the city.
Some Of them were obliged to 60
there to succeed in their chosen
line of work. For the young man
who has business career in view
there is possibly as good
success in a small city as he
can in great one. If he has
not much money capital, his
personality, his character, will
more readily atone for that in a
small town, This is especially
true of the professional man. In.
deed any man of intelligence may
hope for greater preferment in
the small centers of population
than in the large. AS to social
life and the general decency ard

the fact that it is closer to the
