ed Conditional Promise From
Him.


Washington Correspondent, Wilmington Star 25th
President Taft today accepted

when urged to do so by a number
of citizens from that city, who
were introduced by Colonel
Randke, of the United States

feeling of cOrdiality which exists
on the part of North Carolinians
for the Chief Executive and
which has recently been intensi-
fled in the Eastern district by
the appointment of Justice Con-
nor to the Federal judgship. He
was seconded by Mr.. w. A. Mar
tin, Mr.. w. M. Cumming, Mr..
James Ward. and Mr.. O. A. Du-

Silver was found yesterday by
the crew Of the Government boat

ing near Fort Miffiin, midway be-
tween this city and Philadelphia,
in an endeavor to raise the con-
tents of the supposed English
treasure boat, which was sunk
during the Revolutionary War at
that point. The pumps used on
the Cataract have brought up
helmets and other valuable equip

disappeared.
The dredger He'll Gate will be

Some Railroad Possibilities.
Charlotte Observer.


The transfer of the Central of
Georgia Railroad to E. H. Harri-
man gives him access through
his railway system to the South
Atlantic seaboard, a thing it is
said he has been anxious to ac-
complish for some time. We
hope that he will not be content
with having his railway lines ex-
tend to only one of the Southern
seaports, but that he will in the
near future, through the Sea-
board Air Line and it's Carolina,
Clinchfeld and Ohio connection,
have a truck line from North
Cardinals chief seaport to the
West and Northwest. Every
now and then there is ru-
NOR that these two roads will be-
come his property or pass under
his control. Mr.. Hartman, for
all his overwhelming love Of pow
er, is a great railroad up-builder,
and II ne were to get possession
of the old Carolina Central and
the Clinchfield roads he would
make them into a splendid sys-
tenn. Wilmington would become
an important seaport-would be
to North Carolina what Norfolk
is to Virginia, and Charlotte
would be made the distributing
point for a large section of
the two Carolinas, the gateway
to the central and western por-
tions of the two States. Could
such a thing be brought about,
Charlotte, Wilmington and North
Carolina as a State would benefit
enormously.

Driving Two Geese Through the
Main Streets.
'lotte Observer, oath.

Driving two large gray geese
through the main streets of the
city, an old negro man wearing
a high beaver hat and loaded
down with advertisements of
Goose Grease Liniment, attracted
much attention yesterday. The
geese were well trained, but pull
ed the old man from sidewalk to
sidewalk. His head was bowed
down with humiliation over the
superior strength of his fowls,
but he held to the lines and bare
ly escaped many casualties. A
large number of small boys fol
lowed the old man and all of the
passers-by were struck with the
attractiveness of the advertise
ment.

Of No Use to Anybody.
Albemarle Enterprise.

Enterprise.
We still have one or two men
in this community who stand
around on the street corners
from morning until night COM
planning about the town, their
neighbors, their taxes and the
weather. Such men are mighty
common clay and it is fortunate
we have so few of them. Such
men are of no use to the town,
their families or their God. They
seem to live but no one can tell
how. Like mosquitoes and flies,
they are not fatal but disagree
able to have about. 1t is not
necessary to publish the names
of the two or three who infest
this community for you all know
them.

The Simmons of Ten Years Ago
and Now.

Red Buck in Charlotte Observer
Ten years ago, when Senator
Simmons drove out the Republi-
cans and Populists, united under
one banner for pelf and pie, the
average North Carolinian who
did not know him dismissed him
as a political wire-puller, and a
nimcompoop, unfit for anything
else than to manage a red shirt
campaign against Southern Re-
publicans and their allies, which
were composed of a horde of illit-
crate negroes and several thou
sand carping Populists, but today
he is seen in a different light.
His colleagues point to him as
one of the most formidable men
in Congress. His everlasting in
dustry, his ever ready pugnacity,
his never failing courage, physic-
al as we'll as moral, and his ge-
MUS for organization haved caus-
ed him to be ranked with the
best. Keen insight, daring cour-
age and combativeness are his
greatest assets. He convinces
the onlooker that he has convic-
tions and pluck. Standing in the
open, every day in the week, he
is ready to be counted. The fence
does not appeal to him, nor will
he take refuge on it in time of
distress. There used to be, and
I believe there is yet, something
in the Tar Heel blood that made
a man admire the fellow who
fights for what he thinks is right
and does not retreat under fire.
In the campaigns of 1898 anc
1900, when a real general was
needed, Simmons was in the sad
die, to which he had been elevat
ed by crying Democrats. At tina
time many called him a bluffel
but his bitterest enemy woult
not apply that term to him now
He is anything but a buffer
The scrapping spirit is in hi
bones.
Il Newspaper men who did no
.. know that his name was on tn
list of Senators have become in
;. terested in Mr.. Simmons an
y whatever he says is considere
= good copy. The brilliant Bale

Origin of Moving Pictures.

Chicago Tribune.
The beginning of moving pic
lures was in this wise: Sir John
Herschel after dinner in 1926
asked his friend Charles Bab-
bage, how he would show both
sides of a shilling at once. Bah
bage replied by taking a shilling
from his pocket and holding it to
a mirror.
This did not satisfy Sir John,
who sat the shilling spinning up
on the dinner table, at the same
time pointing out that if the eye
is placed on a level with the ro-
tating coin both sides can be seen
at once. Babbage was so struck by
the experiment that the next day
he described it to a friend, DIR.
Litton. who Immediately made a
working model.
On one side of a desk was
drawn a bird, on the other side
an empty bird cage: when the
card was revolved en- a silk
thread the bird appeared to be
in the cage. This model showed
the persistence of vision which
all moving pictures depend for
their effect. The eye retains the
image of the object seen for a
fraction of a second after the OBJ.
ject has been removed. This
model was APPLIED the thaumo'
trope.
Next came the zoetrope, OF
wheel of life. A cylinder was
perforated with a series of slots
and within the sylinders wa:
placed band of drawings Of
dancing men. On the apparatus
being slowly rotated the figures
seen through the slots appeared
to be in motion. The first sys
tematic photographs of men AM
animals taken at regular inter
walls were made by Muybridge il
1877.

highways. It also prescribes that
all motor cars shall slow down

crossings, running over bridges,
etc.
The first section of the act pro-
viding for the registration and
Identification of motor vehicles
defines the meaning of motor We
hicles in such a way that it can
mean nothing but automobiles,
motor bicycles being excepted.
The law is found on page 765 of

COMMITS SUICIDE
(By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Mrs.
Pierre Lorialard, Jr., wife of the
tobacco magnate, and one of the
most prominent women socially of
the capitol, committed suicide at her
home today by asphyxiation. She
had just returned from reception
where she had been in high spirits
and conversed with many other
guests, including the Brazilian and
Danish ministers and their wives,
secretary of the navy and wife. She
went to her room, turned on the gas
and was dead when found 1t is be-
lieved she had grown tired of the
social whirl and thought herself fac
ing years of physical suffering owing
to i'll health, which caused the act.
