Request of r.. N. Carson to Orphan

DC4ASS O1 HI M CARSON 10 Ofph&
GiPlS-Girard as Pattern.
Philadelphia was announced
that the will of r. n. Carson, of this
city, who died suddenly in a theatre
here last week, provides for a So
600, 900 college for orphan girls, pat
termed after Girard College, in this
city, which is exclusively for boys.
The bequest becomes effective after
the death of the widow, Mrs. Frances
Carson. The institution will be To-
Gated at Flourtown, just over the city
line, in Montgomery County.
The will is almost Identical with
that Of Stephen Girard, who founded
the largest college of its kind in the
world. Like Mr.. Girard.s will, Mr..
Carscn's bequest provides that the
institution shall not be controlled by
any religious denomination and that
no religious services shall be held in
the institution that are peculiar or
exclusive to any church.
The college will be open to all poor
white girls both Of whose parents are
dead. In the matter of admission
preference is to be given equally to
girls born in Philadelphia or in Mont
gomery County. After that admis-
sions are to be to those born in Penn
syIvania, and, lastly, to those born
elsewhere in the United States. The
age of admission is between six and
ten years, and of discharge from the
college at eighteen, or earlier If the
trustees deem it for the best interest
of the girls.

OF Locust Gap, by Miss Lucy Dough-
ton, who was eighteen years old and
q leader of the High School sopho-

With the same revolver with which
She slew young K1inger.
In an examination of Ringers ef-
1ects the authorities found q letter,
Which they regard as the key to the

aandwriting, and read as follows:
Will, 1 know you would rather I
would not write, but I must know
Ehat. you are going to do. / want you
70 marry me. but I know you would
prefer to serve time in Sunbury. The
suspense is torturing. I hate you
nov as much as I loved you"

While, when angry words followed
" two pistol shots were heard. The
Soung woman and her former sweet
sseart were found dead within a few

the Authority Of Person Con-
pletely Informed in the Matter
That the Dispute Between the
State Of North Carolina and the
Southern Railway Is 70 Be Settled
By the Legislature, GovsrneE
Glenn Having No Authority to
Change the Rate Of IA Gents.
A special from Raleigh, N. e., ts
the Charlotte Observer of Monday,
says:
It can be safely said en- the an
therity of a completely informed
person that the passenger rate ques-
ten in dispute between the State Of
North Carolina and the Southern
Railway since last spring will be
settled The final arrangement may
be made by the Legislature, which
hxed the rate at 214 eeRta,
Governor Glenn has no power to
change that rate himself. The re-
ports made by the Southern show
the average a mile paid by passeR-
gers to be al cents.
1t has been known for some days
by those on the inside that a settle
ment was in sight. It is now known
positively, though details are as YET
incomplete.
Governor Glenn may make recon-
mendations to the Legislature. Tbs
is most probable.

MILESTONE MILLS RE-SoLD

Ia Second Sale Of Mil Since Bank.

Raise Made on Original Bid.
Charlotte, Specialize MILESTONE
Cotton Mills at Bessemer City, were
sold Tuesday at noon to Capt. Judson
Huss, of Gastonia, for $1,000, at q
receivers sale.
This mill was sold last summer fol
$4,000, but a ten per cent bid be-
ing made later, the second sale was
ordered. The mill is n Of the best
equipped in Bessemer City.
The original sale of this mill, to-
gether with the Vermont Cotton Mills
occurred several months ago. The
property has always been regarded as
a paying proposition, and the bidding
at the first sale was spirited and
warm.
Since the sale of the two mills, the
sale of the Vermont mill was con.
irmed by the court, but when anoth.
er party, desiring to procure posses
sion of the Milestone Mills, made a
ten per cent bid on the original sale,
when the property brought $4,000.
the court ordered q second sale, which
was held Tuesday.
1t is thought that Captain Huss
was buying for himself, as he has
been interested in cotton milling some
years, having held an interest in the
Loray Cotton Mills at Gastonia. He
was interested financially in the
Farmers Supply Company, of Gas
tonia, but only a few days ago, Cap
tain Huss disposed of his holdings ia
this concern.
The sale being held at noon, it was
impossible to learn the plans of the
purchaser, but it is generally believ-
ed that the mill will be operated by
Captain Huss himself.
