Thomas Frederick Chavasse, OF Lind
hurst, Barnt Green, and Temple Row,
Birmingham, who has received the honor
of knighthood, is the fourth representa-
tive of the medical profession in Birming-
ham to receive such a distinction, his
predecessors being Sir James Sawyer

ter (LiberaD, 1886; and Sir Willoughby
Wade Liberal Umonist), in 1896. He is
the sixth son of the late Thos. Chavasse,
who practised for many years in the Oid

or of two medical handbooks, which OBJ
tanned worldwide celebrity. Like his
brother. the present Bishop OF Liverpool,

After filling an appointment as resident
surgeon at the Royal Inirmary, Edin-

Caught by Sharpers.

G.. l.. Green, a cOlOred man OF this
place, answered an advertisement OF
a concern styling itself the "Cornelia
Supply Company" Station C., New
York City, Offering to give graph,
ophone to any person who would sell
% pieces of jewelry for them. Green
sold the jewelry-breast pins, ear
rings, cuff buttons and the like-for
them and in return received a cheap
hand-crank affair which did not meet
his expectations and wishes in a
graphophone, especially as he had
sent them two dollars for records.
He promptly registered a complaint
with the house and was notified that
if he would send the machine back
and pay the difference between it's
value and a higher priced one OF
another style they would make the
exchange. The machine was returned
and a check went along with it for
$3.50. Still neither the anxiously
looked for graphophone No. 2nor the
records for which 81. 90 had been sent
previously come to hand. After
waiting a reasonable length of time
Green wrote to the Cornelius Supply
Company" about the matter. dc
gat no reply. Becoming inpatient
he wrote again, but the New YORK
concern needed not. In the meantime
he went to the bank and found that
his cheeks had been paid and return
ed with the endorsement OF c. Bockel
man and Charles Bockelman writer
on the back. Green wrote again ant
this letter was returned to him witt
a fraud notice stamped across it. Tn.

The Home Paper.
National Journalist Printer.

National Journalist Printer.
Here are a few thoughts from the
Portland Oregonian, one OF the ideal
ly-excellent papers OF this country,
that deserve reproduction in whole
or in substance-with credit for mod.
esty's sake-in all the ''home papers
of the land:
"Your home paper never loses interest
in you" To this, possibly, you have not
given a passing thought.
No matter if you like the newspaper
man or if he likes you, if he is true to his
profession and publishes a paper for the
people he allows no personal matters or
petty spites to interfere with his news
gathering.
He may meet you as stranger, yet
along with his best friends, chronicles
your success and sorrOws wherever you
NAV be, and those who would otherwise
forget you are ever and anon reminded
of your existence by an item in your
home paper Others may deceive and
defraud you, but your home paper never
forgets you.
Possibly you do not deserve deceit
treatment by the paper, but you get 1t
lust the same, and if it should at any
time say things to cause your fur to turn
| the wrong way, study moment and see
| if it has not at various times said many
nice things for which you fail to give it
| credit

DODD'S LIFE OF MACON.
A Book that Ought to be Widely Read
by North carolinlans.

The "Life of Nathaniel Macon" by
William E. Dodd, Ph. D., professor
of history in Randolph-Macon Col
lege, Va. should have a wide sale
and reading, among North Carolini-
ans especially. Time spent in study
ing the character and achievements
of this great man would be time we'll
spent indeed. The rising generation
of North Carolinians particularly
need to know more about him.
Nathaniel Macon was a member OF
Congress continuously from 1871 to
1928; he was speaker of the House
of Representatives 1SO1-18O7, and
the leader of the JeffersOnian De-
mocracy in North Carolina for near
ly half-century.
Prof. Dodd spent years OF patient,
conscientious research and study IN
gathering material for his work and
the preparation of it was carefully
and thoroughly:.done. 1t is II mo:
volume of AGO pages, neatly bound
in cloth, with complete index, and is
sold at 80. Postage ten cents extra.
There is no other life of Macon that
gives more than a paragraph OF in
formation, a fact which makes Or.
Dodd's work all the more valuable.
AS Bishop Granbery says of it, 1.-THE
book is not a eulogy, but a faithful
biography of a statesman who de-
serves to be honored by North Caro-
lima, the South, and the Union" 1t
ought. to have place in every library
in the State, and ought to be read
throughout the country.
To quote the American Historical
Review: \ sit is the first compre-
hensive life OF Macon yet attempted;
work of more than local or
passing interest; it embraces as
a background for it's peculiar subject
not a little of national history from
the Revolution to the accession OF
Jackson, and more especially OF North
Carolina history as related to nation
al affairs and to Macon's career. The
authors attitude is temperate and
scholarly but sympathetic.
One thousand copies OF the book
were printed from type in November,
1908. The edition is nearly exhaust
ed. Indeed, only about 200 copies
remain unsold, and these, we under
stand, the author is Offering to school
libraries and teachers at the special
rate of $1.OO-half price, while they
last. Prominent North Carolinians
have recommended the '1.ife OF Ma
con" as highly suitable for school
reading.

Dixon Gives an Opinion About
Listing Dogs for Taxation.

AuQttOF DIXOH OlVSS Au OpluIVu AUouA
Listing Dogs for Taxation.
DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE AUDIroR,(
Raleigh, n C., July IA, 1905. J
The following letter from State
Auditor Dixon, sent out to the regis
ters of deeds of the several counties,
explains itself:
| understand that the list-takers in
some of the counties in North Carolina
are requiring citizens to list their dogs
for taxation. This is entirely wrong and
no man can be required to list a dog. Ii
a man requests that his dog be listed for
taxation, in order that he may become O
subject of larceny, he has a perfect right
to do so; but if any assessment has been
placed upon the dog as property, OF
course that must be taken of. Dogs were
placed upon the list simply because there
were always some people in every county
who desired to list their dogs for the
above purpose, and it was for this reason
that the dogs were placed on the list, and
not for the purpose ofcollecting a tax on
them. Please see to it that the matter
is corrected, if the list-takers have placed
any assessment against the dogs in your
county.
Very respectfully,
B. F. DIXON,
Auditor.
