The PO' Farmer No More.

I'VE have been over a good
portion of North Carolina since
last July" says the editor of
Charity of Children, land we
are glad to say we have found
the people prosperous and happy,
without the slightest fear of the
panic. Crops are lighter in some
places than others but the aver
age is pretty fair, and the farm
ers are holding up their heads as
free born citizens should. 1t is
a fact. 1.-THE po' farmer" is out
of debt and can buy those who
uesd to condole with him and
shed tears over his condition
the kind of tears that the crocko-
die sheds when he eats man.
His farm is in better condition
than it ever was before; there is
more and better furniture in his
house; he and his folks are bet
ter dressed and his children are
being educated, some Of them in
colleges and universities; he has
more and better stock and cattle,
has a rubber tire buggy and mon
ey in the bank. He gives liber-
orally to the church, goes to the
jamestown Exposition if he
wants to. and doesn't have to
ask any body any odds. He
ought to remember that this is
true because Old Man Cleveland
sat steady in the boat at a GER
tain time when the storms rag
ed and the waves rolled high.
and preserved the integrity Of
the financial system. But this is
no time for argument about that.
What we set out TO remark is
that the po' farmers Is now only
a memory. Charlotte Observer.

An Old Greek Gluttoa.

Occasionally we hear Of voracious
gluttons among the old Greeks. One
Of the most noted was Philoxenus,
who wished he had a neck like a crane
so that his enjoyment OF what he swal'
lowed could he heightened by several
inches. This selfish gormandizer used
20 keep his throat In training by gar.
CLING It with scalding water. Then be
hribed the cooks wherever he went 70
send in all the meals furiously hot
Thus he finished the best there was OF
each dish before any one else dared 70
touch q morsel. A fellow guest was
once SO offended at this that he refused
to remain at the table Of Philoxenus,
saying he had been invited to dine
with a man and not with an oven

WHILE we know nothing in the
facts in the case more than what
we see from the Herald, and the
only interest we have in the case
is that justice may be done, it
appears that somebody was rum
ming great risks when they Kissed
the decision of a United States
Commissioner. This may be said
about the matter of kissing in the
United States court here yester-
day: If the decision was wrong
the Commissioner should be made
to bear the blame, but Kissing
should not be allowed in any
court: whether the people agree
with the decision or not, for the
courts should be upheld, and if
they are continually in the wrong
the presiding Commissioner
should be removed.

WRIGHT.BUTLDR CASE COMPROMISED.
Suit for Near 100000 Settled for SAG.
045 Last Wednesday.


Final arrangements in the COM
promise of the litigations be-
tween George P. Butler and R.
H. Wright were brought about
Wednesday. The matter now
goes off the court dockets of the
country. In the compromise Mr..
Butler, who is a citizen Of New
York, was given $40. 046, this in
full settlements of all claims in
volved in this suit.
This litigation began back
some time ago in New York city.
Mr.. Butler brought suit against
Mr.. Wright, claiming that he
was due close to$45, 900 in cash
and about $4,000 in stocks of
some kind on account of a deal
that he negotiated for Mr..
Wright. When the hearing came
on the court referred the matter
to a lawyer by the name of Cohen
to find the facts and make report.
This was done and he allowed
Butler something over $4,000 in
cash and the bonds asked for.
Wright appealed and the case
found its way into the supreme
court. There the court found
adverse to the report of Cohen
and Butler appealed to the court
of appeals. There the reports of
the special master in the case
was approved.
When this judgment was OBJ
tanned the plaintiff in the action
employed Messrs. Winston &
Bryant, of this city, as associate
counsel in the case and consider
able real estate in this city, the
property of Mr.. Wright, was at
tached. This was done by rea-
son of the fact that Mr.. Butler
is not a citizen of Durham or this
state, but that he is a citizen of
another state. Therefore, under
the laws of North Carolina any
property found in this state could
be attached. By this route the
case got into the state courts. 1t
was pending in the superior
court of this county when the
final compromise was reached,
by the terms of which MIR.
Wright will pay to the plaintiff
$40, 095.
Mr.. Butter was az one time
vice. president ..of the American
Tobacco company and he has
benin several largelitigations on
account of financial transactions,
principally on the stock markets
of the world. When this later
suit was instituted it was not
generally thought that he had
much of a claim for damages,
that is not by those who profess
ed to know something of the
transactions involved, but the
courts have found with him and
the whole matter is now settled.

The aquatic plants of pond have an import

investigations Of r. H. Pearl, the American

extract mineral food from the ground, and such
vegetation as the pondweed (Potamogeton)
aids fishes by adding mineral substances to the
water. On the other hand. the hornwort (Cera-
