donod by Governor Mead Ii he has
been guilty OF any crime in eonnec-
tion with his alleged $50, 900 short
age OF Great Northern funda. III Dr..
der 70 ascertain the truth OF the ru-
NOR Of bribery involving Justice Milo
A. Root Of the state supreme court.
This Il the opinion Of & wali-
known Judge. who has given the mat
ter q great deal or thought. This
iariat said:
I'm my opinion, . bar association
Investigation would be q farce. The
situation was such that the auproms
court was practically forced to aGE
on the rumors promptly az this time.
That court had no power to call upon
uDerior courts TO make an invests.
cation, Nor could II place the mat
ter before a legislative commltteo Be-
cause the legislature IA not In nen-
sion and 70 wait q session meant a.
lay, while the charge demanded
prompt action of some sort.
"A court committee or Legislative
inquiry would accomplish no more
than the bar association inquiry.
Those who are Suggesting these oth-
or inquiries lost sight Of the fact
that probably no one other than M.
J. Gordon, Judge Root and their L.
gal advisers know the whole tguth.
The accused can not be compelled "a
testify and the lawyers are prohibit
ed from giving evidence without the
consent Of their cIients.
Great Northern officials have puh-
ilcly declared and reiterated. there &
no shortage Mr.. Gordon has not
asked the newspapers to retract pub
lished statements charging = shor-
tage and the railroad has made no
effort TO proceed criminaiIy gainHl

Promise Immunity TO Get Facts.
These facts naturally arouse
much conjecture. Nov the rumors
have connected Judge Root with the
matter and Il IL generally known that
the members Of the supreme court.
together with most Of the lawyers
and citizens. demand the facts. IN
view OF ali the circumstances the on
~ logical outcome, to my mind--
the only possible way 10 get all the
faets-is for the governor Of the
state 70 insure q pardon to Gordon
II Gordon win produce all the facts
in his possession, n such evidences
would In any way incriminale Cor
don, either directly or acting as
agent for the Great Northern under
direction from st. Paul. In no other
way can II be known whether Root
was bribed, on the one hand. or. on
the other. the Great Northern on

selling whiskey in prohibition terri
tory. Last week, at Rockingham,
the grand jury found three or more
true bills against the doctor, and it
is probable that he will be mulcted
for n large amount in fines when he
is tried.
The news of DR.. williamson
downfall was received in Wadesboro
with the greatest surprise by his
friends here. lie is nearly so years
old and for many years has occupied
q prominent position in the church.
lie is also very wealthy, his estate
being estimated at 100000. It is
said that the doctor has been engag-

al years. It's also alleged against
him that he sold to his tenants, and
others, rather inferior article Of

The Man and His Job.
by Herbert ]. Hsneccd.l

ny i1SEpeTl i6hSCSOp
! know a young man who seems tc
have q natural capacity for knowing
how TO go about things. He grad
uated from a college Of pharmhcy
only last June and was put il charge
of the laboratory Of a parfg:n2rg
house IN New York at salary Of
twenty dollars a week. Before he
was on the job a month he discover
ed valuable formula and asked for
an increase in salary Of five dollars 6
week. no sooner was This granted
than he distinguished himself again
and asked to have his salary raised
to thirty dollars week.
Look here" said the boss, ''ev-
cry time you do something clever,
you pat yourself on the back and
strike for a raise. Now, I'll give
you five dollars more than you ask #
you will sign a contract for two
years"
My friend signed the contract but
the assurance Of two years employ
n1ent at high salary didn't lesson
his willingness to make good. AS /
said he possessed a peculiar char
acteristic Of knowing how to 60
about things and last week some
thing happened that called into play
every latent power in his makeup.
At three o'clock in the morning &
telephone message told him that
their building was afre.
Everything was wrecked except
the safe containing tie books and
formulas. The manager and Office
force completely lost their nerve and
found solace by piunging into state
of intoxication which lasted unbro,E-
en- for several days. The young
chemist, however, knew how to go
about things. He waited 1T tke
scene Of the fire and secured the ad
dresses Of all the employees. Then
he borrowed somebody's office, sent
form letter to all their customers,
and attended to infinite details which
previously he knew nothing wllatso-
ever about. After a half days search
he succeeded in finding q suitable
loft and placed orders for material
and fixtures all Of which was done
with such promptitude that within
three days they were doing business
as usual.
It is in a time like that when al
the ability which lies dormant within
o man comes, out and he can show
his employers that ne knows how to
90 about things.
