The Best Side.

Most of us show our best side
to children. We do 80 because
we know that they do not believe
us to have any other side, and we
shrink from disappointing them
and from losing their good opini-
on. A child has not learned to
look for deceit and unkindness or
double dealing. Therefore, grown
people who think at all are more
careful to be scrupulously truth
full to children, and to keep to
the letter their promises to chill
dren, than they are to older ones
who, as they know, will "make
allowances" An unspoiled child
does not "make allowances" for
evil. He knows no standard but
the best. Occasionally grown
man or woman seems to have re-
tanned that unspoileds. confidence
in the best side of every one. And
to such a man or woman we will
try to show our best; when we
ar with them we try to be oul
best. Suppose we all lived with
each other as with children

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Officers Think a Mistake Has Been Made
and That Accused is Innocent.

Just before leaving Mooresvillt
yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
J. M. Deaton, who was here at
tending coult, made an arrest that
will surprise the many friends OF
a young cotton mill man OF
Mooresville. Late Wednesday
evening Mr.. Deaton received a
telegram from Sheriff Thomas
Peden, of Chester, S. c., reading
as follows:
ARREST Patterson, cloth i'll
spector at new mill, alias Up
church. Wanted for murder in
South Carolina"
Mr.. Deaton held the message
until yesterday morning and then
'phoned G.. M. Patterson to meet
him at the depot. Patterson had
no idea what Deaton wanted, but
was at the station at the time
named. Deaton placed him un-
der arrest and brought him to
Statesville on the morning train,
but on their arrival here did not
place him in jail but took him to
the hotel. They spent the day
here, returning to Mooresville
last night. Mr.. Patterson came
to Mooresville about three years
ago. from Greensboro and has
been with the cotton mill since
his arrival. He has always con-
Quoted himself properly and has
won many friends in the mill and
the town. He is an orphan, his
parents having died in Rocking
ham when he was quite young,
and he was in the Masonic or.
phanage at Oxford from 1891 to
1897. He is now 26 years old.
The murder with which Patter-
son is charged was committed III
South Carolina March %, at
which time Me. Patterson claims
he was in this State. He says he
was never in South Carolina ex-
cept to pass through that State
several years ago, while ell route
to and from Alabama. He says
he can prove these facts and Mr..
Deaton is of the same opinion.
While here yesterday Mr.. Pat
terson and Mr.. Deaton explained
the case to Judge Fred Moore,
who is holding Iredell Superior
court, and the judge told Mr.
Deaton that he believed he was
doing the proper thing in not put
ting his prisoner in Jail.
Mr.. Deaton will keep Patterson
in custody until further informa-
ton is received from South Caro-

The wedding was the result of

The advertisement came under
the eye of r. Wachter, of Silver

negotiations that after only four
letters had passed, Mr.. PAIL an
