The Illinois Plan.

In an address before the Illinois
Bar Association, Judge Tuley de-
clared that it the duty of the
Judge to make a careful examina-
tion of each juryman on the panel
''It is the courts duty to see that
these men are morally and men
tally qualified to pass supon the
questions placed before them
Out of a panel of sixty men, !
have found thirty-fve, perhaps,
who are competent to act as
jurors. He said that it is DC
unusual thing for lawyers to take
thirty days in trying to get a jury
to hear a case, apd it has been
known to take two months fol-
this work. He suggested as a
remedy that the judge select
eighteen men men from the panel
and then allow the plaintiff and
defendant each to reject three.
That might be an improvement
on the present system, in so fa1
that it would accelerate the busi-
ness of securing a jury, but the
real reform must begin at the jury
box. If that is filled with the
names of the right sort of people.
a step will have been taken in the
matter Of securing intelligence in
the jury and greater degeree Of
fairness and justice in trials

Well Deserved Rebuke,

A Princeton man tells of a con-
versation that took place between
the coach of a football eleven and
one of the players. An important
game was soon to be played and
the coach was, of course, most
anxious that every player should
be in the best of physical condi-
ton. But to his disgust one of
the men, upon whom a great deal
depended if the great game were
to be won, seemed to be in "bad
FORM" Taking him aside the
coach had the following "heart-
to-heart talk'' with the recalci-
trant.
''See here, you're not looking
so good? Muscles flabby and wind
bad-awful bad. What's the
matter? Been drinking any,
thing?"
mot DROP
"Then you must be smoking"
"Haven't touched pipe, cigar
or cigarette since the training be-
gam"
"Studylng?"
"Well, yes-a little.''
Whereupon the coach gave vent
to snort of disgust. "See herel
You've got to stop that! Do you
want us to lose the game?"-Har-

LEXINGTON AND DAVIDSON COUNTY.
Lexington Young Men Need to Learn How

Lexington Dispatch, May 31si.
Five arrests for drunkenness
were made here by the police on
Monday of this week. Certainly
this not record of which to be
proud and it's doubtful if it can
be equalled by any town or city
in North Carolina.
A gentleman who was a passen-
ger on "booze train No. 49," from
Salisbury to Lexington Saturday
night says the scenes enacted in
the second class coach were dis
gaceful. Jugs, bottles, and keg
or two were in evidence and a
crowd of drunken men and boys
made the night hideous with
their foul langua cursing and
fighting. And the pity of it is
that a majority of the crowd en-
gagged in the orgies we're young
men and boys-from Lexington,

C oncord Times, June md.
Wednesday night professional
safe crakers blew open two safes
at Mt. Pleasant. nine miles east
Of Concord and secured about
5000. G. G. Heilig's store was
entered by the front door, the
safe was blown open and more
than $500 was taken, $3.50 of
which was town tax money. The
safe was completely wrecked. At
Cook & Foil's store the en-
trance was made by the front
door, which was wrecked. The
large safe was dynamited and
nearly 5000 taken. A horse was
taken from Luther Lentz, and it
is presumed that the rider was
thrown, as the animal was abaD-
doned. A mule was taken from
Cal Boyer, near town, and ridden
within a short distance of this
city.

Newest Thing III Snakes.

A most remarkable and uncom-
mon flying snake" that was
captured and killed at "Berry
Plain" the home of John S.
Dickinson, in this county, a few
days ago, has attracted wide at
tention and excited no little inter-
est. The curious reptile was first
noticed flying around the air with
several feet of it's horrid snakeship
dangling around, presenting the
appearance, may be, of an ordina-
ry snake attached to strange
looking bird.
As far as known it never once
descended to the earth and crawl
ed on the ground after the manner
of snakes, but it would OCCASION
ally alight in trees and catch such
birds as best suited it's appetite
and fancy.
1t was finally killed and meas.
ured and proved to be five feet
long and about one inch in diam
eter Of body. 1t had perfect
wings Of good size, and these were
covered with feathers. "Berry
Plaln," where the curious thing
made it's unceremonious advent
and met it's untimely end, is one
of the finest plantations and
homestesds in King George, and
being situated on the banks of the
Rappahannock, it is conjectured
by some that the "fying snake"
may have come from an impene-
trable marsh of the river or some
neighboring creek.
But this theory is not accepted
by many, for as far as can be
learned, nothing bearing the
slightest similarity to this serpent
or reptile, or whatever 1t is, was
ever seen before or heard of any,

When TAFT Needed Courage.

Secretary Taft, who has been
holding down the lid at WASH
ington while the President slaugh-
tered bears in Texas and Colora-
do, has always been an enthusias-
tic admirer of the late L. @. G.
Lamar, of Mississippi.
II loved Judge LAMAR" said
the secretary to relative of the
distinguished Senator and jurist.
''He gave me encouragement when
I needed it, and if [ have accom-
plished anything, much of it is
due to Judge Lamar's quaint and
friendly counsel. I was assistant
to the Attorney General of the
United States when Lamar sat
upon the Supreme bench. They
who presided were great men,
and there was grave dignity OBJ
served in their presence and even
in the retiring of the court, One
day [ had stumbled through a
small duty before the court just
as the judges we're about to retire.
[ stood embarrassed and confused, :,
feeling that my mental machine
could never attune itself to the
caliber of the able men [ had to
meet, when an arm was thrown
affectionately over my shoulder
and the most friendly voice I ever
heard-the voice OF Judge Lamar
in sympathy with a young NAH
said:
Its all right, my boy. Don't
you be afraid of those old fellows
on the bench They wont bite
you. Even if they wanted to
their teeth are too old and worn
to do much damage. If you but
knew 1t, yours are twice as sharp
II became q confident force
from that moment, and [ have
ever since loved Lamar and
thanked him for making me put

up all of their cotton, some about
one-fourth. We think the crop
bulletin has sure made a. mistake
when it reported the crop in good

Oats in places look very we'll,
but it will not be near full crop
on the account of the black head

The fruit in places looks all

Production Of Silver in the United States
in 1904,

A preliminary estimate by the
Director of the Mint places the
production of silver in the United
States during 1904 at $53, 1903, 900
fine ounces. Waldemar Lindgren,
of the United States Geological
Survey, has written a paper in
which he shows the approximate
distribution of this product
among the different classes of ore
deposits.
The different classes of ore to
which the production can be trac-
ed are as follows: Silver derived
from placers; silver derived from
dry or quartzose ores; silver de-
rived from copper ores; and silver
derived from from lead ores.

AN EASY WAY

It is easy to keep well if we only
observe each day a few simple rules
of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary to diet or to follow a
set rule or bill of fare Such pampeer-
ing simply makes capricious appe

articles of food must be avoided.
Prof, Fiechold gives pretty good adj
vice on this subject; he says: "I am IS
years old and have never had a seri-
Gus illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one
but | early discovered that the way to
keep healthy was to keep a healthy
stomach, not by eating bran crackers

always eat what my appetite Graves,
