Lake Placid was three miles from
the a n house, on another piece Of
land. 1t was a favorite place for sum-
mer camping. and there were no re-
strictions except as to the fishing.
It had been stocked with carp as q

watchdog, and in two or three days
subsequently he reported that a sum-

and defiant party, and he named the
date when the trial was to come off
before the justice of the peace in the
village.
Mr.. Attorney Franklin urew a men,

Lake Placid Of its carp in spite Of all
signs and protests, and he at once
looked up the law - trespass and
made himself familiar with it. When
he had learned all about it, he in
vented a plea TO the jury.
Of course. the defendant would call

and repeated his plea over and over
again. 1t was strong. 1t was logical.
The jury must not look at the value
of the carp, but at the principle Of
the thing.

Proper Names of Holy Writ Look
Queer When Put Into the Hot
tentot Language.

Some Of the difficulties in Bible
translation are Of a curious nature, be-
ing concerned solely with the form Of
the proper names OF individuals,
places, ETC., occurring in the Old and
and the New Testament. In transiat-
ing the New Testament into the Mama
or Hottentot language OF South AZ
RIGA, the very name Of Jesus creates
a difficulty from which no escape is
possible save by strict conformity with
the grammatical and m~orphological
peculiarities OF this somewhat primi-
tive form of human speech. The de-
vice, so commonly resorted to by Bib
lical translators, Of simple transplant
ing the Latin Jesus and Christus Tor
Greek Christos) will rot avail here.
For in the Hottentot tongues is a
suffix indicating the female, and Jesus,
or Christus, would really signify that

His First Case
By DONALD ALLEN
Copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press

Mr.. Paul Franklin has passed his
examination and become a member of
the bar. Not that he intended to hang
out a single and become a practicing
lawyer, but more to oblige the good
old aunt who had brought him up and
sent him through college and had oft

You will have the estate to man.
age during my life, and when ! am
gone you will have to manage it for
yourself. One should be a lawyer to
do these things" ~
Within a week after Paul had been
granted a legal right to add "Attor.
ney at Law" after his name, the old
lawyer of the estate, in turning the
papers over to the young man, said:
There is one matter l wish to call
your particular attention to. The
estate owns Lake Placid. I stocked
1t with choice fish several years ago
and put up many signs Of mo Tres
pass" Those signs have been gen.
orally respected, but last summer one
particular person, having a camp a
short distance away, persisted in fish
ing in spite of all protests. l have
just received word that the same per-
son is back there for the summer and
is fishing again. Our man there
thinks an example ought to be made.
He says that when he made protest
this person told him to go to grass"
"A very nervy person." remarked
the young lawyer.

ExpIsnation Not Forthcomirq.

It seems never to have occurred to
Mr.. Roosevelt that the glazing dis
crepancy between his Saratoga plat
form and his Sioux Falls speech re.
uuired explanation until he was sharp
" called to account by his friends in

have not mended matters. The only
possible conclusion Is that when he
was at Sioux Falls he felt that he was
among downward revisers, when he
was at Saratoga he felt that he was
speaking to standpatterS.

Friend of Monopolists.

It Is of common knowledge and it
has been for more than a generation
an open scandal that the protected in
terests have paid the Republican par
ty in campaign contributions for en-.
acting the tariff schedules they de-
sired. The Republicans have not only
taken this money, but they have in
sisted on having it. In 1890 the rep.
resentatives Of the protected inter.
ests in congress gave votes to pass
the silver coinage bill in exchange for
votes Of the silver men for the Nc
Kinley tariff.

No Real "Protection."

This country produces its own coal,
and exports many times more than 1t
imports. The duties on breadstuffs
may retard the free flow of grain over
the Canadian border, and may some
times affect local prices temporarily,
but In all food products we are an ex-
porting nation, and prices are deter
mined in the markets of the world.
Nothing is really protected" by these

Beautiful Home Wedding.

At the home OF Mrs. Hunter Dunn,
1872 Breckenridge street, a beautiful
but quiet wedding occurred Tuesday
afternoon, June 18th. when at six
O'Clock her daughter, Miss Hattie Lee,
was given in marriage to Mr.. Daniel
Joseph Gooeh of Oxford, N. C. The
parlor was tastefully decorated in
ferns, palms. and white cut roses.
To the soft sweet strains of Lohen-
grin's march from the Bridal Chorus
they entered the parlor, and Mendels-
sobn's Wedding March as they were
going out, Miss Mary E. Dunn presid-
ing at the piano. Rev. E. D. Poe per-
formed the ceremony, only members
OF the families and small company
OF immediate friends being present.
Miss Emma Dunn, sister of the
bride, was maid of honor, and Mr..
Richard Gooch of Oxford, was best
man. The bride wore a travelling suit
OF biscuit brown and carried a flower
bouquet of lilies of the valley. The
brides maid wore a beautiful gown of
white chiffon and carried carnations.
The bride was one of Henderson's
most lovely and attractive young
women who counts her friends by the
number OF her acquaintance, and the
regret is that her marriage will take
her away from U.S. The groom is a
popular young business man of Ok
ford, well known and highly esteemed,
and is the object OF hearty congratu-
lations from his friends.
Out OF town guests at the marriage
were Miss Lizzie Gooch, Mrs. Hamil-
ton, Mr.. Joe Gooch, Mr.. Rowland
Gooch OF Oxford, Miss Juanita Penny
of Raleigh.

Raid on Blind Tigers.

A number of alleged blind tigers
were rounded up last week and as a
result of the raid the county jail has a
larger number of inmates just now
than usual at time so remote from
court.
At the instance of some individual,
or individuals, W. j. Roark, chief of
the Raleigh Detective Agency, came
to Henderson week before last accom-
panied by three men. Their object was
to ferret out violators OF the prohibi-
ton law-persons guilty of selling liq-
uor-and as result of their shrewdly
laid plans eleven arrests were made on
the charge OF retailing.
The plan OF operation was for the
men working under Chief Roark to
be "birds of a feather and mix in
with the parties suspected, and others,
gain their confidence and then buy
liquor from them One of the men
took one OF the cotton mill districts
as his field OF operation working in
the mill and making himself one OF the
boys to all outward appearances for
the time being. The rest was easy,
he had no trouble in procuring the
liquor when he asked for 1t.
AS a purchase would be made the
date and price paid, and the name OF
the individual from whom it was OBJ
tanned was labeled on the bottle and
when the arrests were made and the
preliminary hearings were had this as
sortment OF sizes and varied contents
was displayed in the mayors office to
confound the accused.
The accused are Ed Harris q cases)
Edgar Falkner, Bud Journigan, Will
Bailey, Farror Lamb q cases. Sam
Huff, Ebert Reams g cases. A. B.
Harden. Lamb, Reams, Huff and
Journigan gave bond, while Harris,

In addition to these Ed Jones and
Tom Perry, negroes, were caught by
the police and both were sent to jail
charged with the same offense.

The Normal and Industrial College.

We have pleasure in calling atten-

Normal and Industrial College which
appears in this issue. Every year
shows steady growth in this insti-
tuition devoted to the higher educa-
ton of the women of North Carolina.
The College last year had total
enrolment OF 993 students. Ninety
of the ninety-eight counties of the
State had representatives in the stu
dent body. Nine-tenths of all the
graduates of this institution have
taught or are teaching in the schools
of North Carolina.
The dormitories are furnished by
the State and board is provided at
actual cost. Two hundred appoint
ments to the dormitories, apportion-
ed among the several counties &C
cording to school population, will be
awarded to applicants about the
middle of July. Students who wish
to attend this institution next year
should make applications as early as
possible, as the capacity of the dormi-
tories is limited.
