At the snow hut, Hatteras slipped into
the seal skin.
Nov. give me the gum" he said.
Courage, HatterasI" said the doctor,
handing him the weapon, which he had
loaded with the mercury bullet.
Soon a seal was making Its way toward
the bear. 1t was perfect imitation. The
bear, greedy-eyed, waited.
When the seal was ten naces away, the
monster sprang forward with tremend-
Gus bound, but stopped short, stupefed and
frightened, when Hatteras threw off his
disguise, knelt on one knee, and aimed
straight at the bears heart. He fired, and
the huge monster rolled back on the ice.
Hatteras had aimed well. and before
either of his companions came up he had
plunged his knife in the animals throat.
''Hurrah! BravoP' shouted Johnson
and the doctor, but Hatteras stood cool
and unexcited, gazing at his PROSTATE foe.
The beast was very fat, and weighed
1900 pounds. The hunters were so fam
ished that they had hardly patience to
cut up the carcass and carry home the
flesh to be cooked. 1t needed all the doc
tors persuasion to prevent them eating 1t
raw.
On entering the hut, they were struck
with the GOODNESS of the atmosphere. The
fire was out. The exciting business Of
the morning had made Johnson neglect
his accustomed duty.
The doctor got the finder and asked
Johnson for the steel.
The sailor went through his pockets and
searched the hut. The steel was gone.
Met got the STEEL" the doctor repeated.
shuddering Look again.
But It was gone.
This is a serious business, DOCTOR"
said Hatteras, gravely.
Each sat looking at the other, and at
death. 1t was serious. Then the doctor
sprang to his feet.
IAN idea has occurred TO me-"
''What?" said Hatteras.
LET US make a lens"
"How?"

A good sized place was soon cut on,
about a foot in diameter. and the doctor
set to work. He chopped 1t into rough
shape with the Ratchet; then with his
knife, making as smooth surface as

We were told later that there was great

Old Georgia Is Good Enough

A neighbours boy went to Texas a few
years ago TO get rich by farming. He
and his industrious wife were alike eager
and energetic. -.-
They have three children and had high
hopes of success and profit, but the pre-
vailihg drouth in Texas grew so perten-
tous that they sold outlook. stock and
barrel. and rushed back to old Georgia
because of the dread of famine.
I am satisfied it was a wise determine
ton for they got away with enough to
pay expenses and reach the old home,
and they knew they were coming to
friends.
But there are perhaps thousands in
Texas who can't get away. and who had
no friends on this side to come TO or to
shelter with until they could establish
themselves again and begin farming under
more favorable auspices.
There has been nothing made out there
to feed stock for a year, and the hot
winds burnt up the sap in the cotton
stalks until they dried up and persisted

GAMBLER DIssENTs TO REPORT.
After Y'ecapitulating the various figures
by which Comptroller General Wright ar
rived at his valuation of $950,0OO for the
franchise Mr.. Gambler says: --
1.-The company claims that its Georgia
business is not profitable. This is no
measure of the value of its franchises and
other property used in this state The
very nature of a telegraphic business
proves the utter futility and absurdity OF
trying to ascertain values by segregating
the business in each state. Its lines to
other states and section traverse this
state, and without this, business would be
almost impossible and frequently unprofit-
able In other states. It's business must
be considered and valued as whole. The
courts have so held.
ct am of opinion that the assessment
OF $3.50, 900, made by the comptroller gen.
eral is approximately correct and I
therefore, dissent from the award of the
umpire fixing the same at $50o,000 and
the form in which the award is written"

AFFINITIEs OF PELLAGRA. The
disease has the general characters
of a tropho-neurosis. The early
involvement of certain areas of
the skin, especially in exposed
PLACES such as the hands and feet,
suggests leprosy; as in that
disease, there is first hyperesthe-
sia and then loss of sensibility,
sometimes a thickening of the
surface and discolorations; and,
although in pellagra the onset
eacl successive spring and the
subsistence towards autumn are
distinctive, yet in leprosy also the
cutaneous disorder is apt to come

TREATMENT. There is hard

SUIT TO REGAIN HICKORY PAPER.
case has Been In Progress al Newton
Court House all Week,


A suit for the possession of the
Hickory Democrat is due to come
to an end at Newton SUPERIOR
court this morning. w. G. Dowd.
OF this city, is still at Newton
where he has been all week at
tending the trial to regain possess
sion of the Democrat which ha
started some years ago. He in
troduced evidence to show that
the plant, subscription list, good
will and everything belong to him,
ne having established the paper,
sending Mr.. Holbrook, who now
claims to own the paper, to
Hickory as his agent to manage
the business at salary agreed
upon.
For a number of years the en-
tire printing Of the Democrat was
done IN The Charlotte News Office.
Later the Piedmont Press was
bought by the Democrat by Mr..
Dowd and part of the printing
done in Charlotte and part in
Hickory. Evidence was introduce
ed by him to show that he charg-
ed the Hickory Democrat a GER
tain amount every month for print
ing the paper and that he had
also charged the paper for job
type, white paper and other items,
and that he paid Mr.. Holbrook
by the mouth for his work. The
presses, type and other added
equipment of the Democrat were
bought out of the earnings of the
Hickory office.
Mr.. Holbrook, it appears, from
reports in the Catawba county
papers, claims that he went to
Hickory, started the Democrat,
and paid monthly for the PRINT
ing until from the profits OF the
paper he bought the press, and
that he is the owner of the paper.
Against this evidence is strong
documentary evidence submitted
by Mr.. Dowd in the shape of ac-
counts and statements rendered
by Mr.. Holbrook in regard to his
salary, the amount of receipts and
expenditures, the condition of the
business, and the like, suoh as
ally agent would render to his en-
ployer. One letter told Mr.. Dowd
Of the amount of money he had
used from the earnings as his SAL
ary.
Mr.. Dowd learned some time
ago with great surprise of the sale
of an interest in the Democrat by
Mr.. Holbrook without consulting
him and this led to his suit to
regain possession There have
been two postponements of the
case heretofore at the instance of
the defence Charlotte News,

MURDER IN GUILFORD.
Father Charged With killing Son With the
Assistance Of Brother-in-LaW.


Assistance Of Brother -in-LaW.
A special from Greensboro, tt
the Charlotte Observer, dated
November 18th, gives the follow
ing account of a serious crime
committed in Guilford county:
! Simpson H, Coble, the Greene
township farmer who was found
lying in gully near the roadside
mortally wounded yesterday, died
this morning at his home 18 miles
south of this city. His father,
Dan "Foot' Coble, and his bro.
ther.in-]aw, Hiram Elliott, are in
GuIlford county Jail charged with
the murder. A third prisoner is
H. M. Holt, who was operating a
blockade distillery in the neigh
borhood near the scene of the
crime.
Tho father and the brother-in-
law Of the dead man we're arrested
this morning by Deputy Sheriffs
John Weatherly and George
Crutoh6eId, who went to Greene
township last night Immediately
upon the receipt of information
of the crime. Holt, who came to
Greensboro in company with a
neighbor to notify the officers Of
the murderous assault on Simpson
Coble, was arrested this morning
by Deputy Sheriff Shaw upon re-
ceipt of a telephone communion
tion that ',is blockade distillery
had been captured by Deputies
Weathorly and Shaw, Holt was IN
the sher|ff's office when the arrest
was made and did not appear to
be surprised when he found him
self in custody.
From all accounts available the
murder of Simpson Coble was one
of the foulest crimes that has
stained the record of Guilford
county, rivaling the brutal
murder of the aged Miss Lydia
Newman, in Sumner township, a
few months ago.
For several years a bitter and
relentless feud has existed between
Simson Coble on one sids and his
aged father, Dan "Foot" Coble,
and his brother.in-law, Hiram
Elliott, on the other. The three
men we're at Hollis distillery
Tuesday afternoon and renewed
the quarrel, and the presumption
is that they engaged in fight af-
ter leaving the place. In all p
liability the details of the tragedy
will never be known, as the mar-
dsred man was unable to make
statement before his death,
although he tried several times to
talk.
The body Of Cob!e was discov-
cred yesterday lying in a gully
about ten feet deep, near the road,
and there was evidences that a des-
perate struggle had taken place.
It is believed that the fight took
place early Tuesday night and
that the wounded man was thrown
into the gully, his assailants evil
IDENTIFY believing him dead. He
had received q terrific blow on
the head that crushed his skull
and his right eye was knocked out.
He lay in a pool of blood and was
unconscious when found. The
scene of the crime is in the south
eastern part of the county. near
the Randolph county line.
The murdered man was about
40 years Old and ls survived by a
widow and six children
