Film Submitted as Evidence.

For the first time in the history
of the United States district court
here motion pictures were submitted
as evidence in the suit of the Mine
raj Separator, Ltd. of London, against
the Miami Copper Company, a Della
ware corporation in which infringe-
ment of patents is alleged. The
session was adjourned from the
courtroom in the federal building to
motion picture house, where DR..
William M. Grosvener, an expert
chemist. called as a witness by the
English company, explained in de-
tail the process of removing copper
from ore as the pictures were thrown
upon the screen. After the exhibi-
ton the hearing was resumed in the
courtroom, and DR.. Grosvenor con-
tinued his testimony.
1t was testified that the process
shown by the pictures had saved
for users of the patents more than
$5O,OOO,000. 1t was one of the most
unique bits of evidence and at the
same time one of the most novel ex-
hibitions ever seen in the city.

HE MISSED A FORTUNE.

In spite of their night-and-day
activity in raiding and destroying
the hundreds of illicit stills that are
manufacturing mOOnShine in the
mountains, the revenue of Georgia,
have found time to report the dis
covery of an invention, which, had
it been patented by its discoverer,
might have brought him an immense
fortune The art of distillatio rs M
al ient one, yet little progress 4hs
been made in the process since the
first worm" po twisted tube was
used to condense the vapors which
arise from the boiling liquid. Frank
Whatley, a Georgian conducted a
still on his place in the Blue Ridge
mountains. Since prohibition went
into effect. the demand for moon
shine has leaped to enormous pro-
portions. Whatley saw that if he
could increase the output of his still
he would make more money. So
he set to work and constructed a
still, which, according to the officers,
instead of the usual worm or coil,
contained device with double sur
face for condensing the vaporized
alcoholic fumes. The device is en-
closed in an air space in which the
vapOrs float and are condensed rapid
ly as the water passes through the
body of the cylinder. It is the most
efficient condensation system we
have ever seen and it is a pity What
ley did not try to market his device
instead of making moonshine.

Millionaire's Son Going Home.

Millionaire's Son Going Home.
The editor had an hours talk
Sunday morning with young Mr..
Patton at Thacker's Dairy where he
is engaged at work. Mr.. Patton, it
will be remembered, is the son of a
millionaire banker in Philadelphia
and the young man with another
brother left home IS years ago and
for some reason has never returned
But he is going home May 28th in
time to greet his father on Decora-
tion Day. The editor has reasons
to believe that he is the real long
lost son who has seen fit to travel
around the country since he was
13years of age and make his own
way rather than to stay at hone
with q step mother he could not get
along with. The father now seems
anxious for his retnrn and young
Mr.. Patton will 60 back to the old
home, 90 to school and enjoy some
of the comforts that money can pro-
vide. The brother that ran away
with him returned last year, has
since married and settled in Cali
forina. There are three boys and
two girls in the family. Mr.. Patton
is a likable- looking chap, hard worker
and apparently straightforward and
perhaps his independent nature ac-
counts for his long absence from the
hearthest one.

News from the u. N. Gin
teresting Box.

Chapel Hill, May 3O.-Former
President Kemp Plummer Battle, to
whom President Edward K. Graham,
in his inaugural address, paid the
eloquent and singular tribute" he
is the witness of his own immortali-
ty"-has made provision whereby
the articles used in industries and
avocations in 1855 and those in use
in 2O15 can be vividly contrassed.
The methods of preservation of the
contemplated changes of the two
semi centennial periods as well as
the manner of making provision for
the future prize are of an unprece-
dented character. The self-explana-
tory letter handed DR.. J.~G. Red
Hamilton, president of the North
Carolina Historical Society, tells the
story:
Sir: | ask the acceptance by
your Society of a hermetically seal
ed tin box containing a copy of the
catalogue of one of America's s largest
department stores in which are de-
scriptions and pictures of practically
all articles used now in the indus
tries and avocations of the United
States. This Gift is on the following
conditions:
The box is to be opened in 1865.
A. D., and again in 2015, A. D, and
student designated by the Presi-
dent of the Society shall write a
thesis on the changes of the preced-
ing semi-centennial period. Irequest
my descendants of those dates to
pay $50 (fifty dollars) to the writer
of the thesis. ] have no doubt that
payment will be duly made, as I
! have now seven children and grand
children, married and doing well,
who agree to this proposal. AS
have also four great-grandchildren,
it is almost certain that my descen-
dants will be numerous fifty and
one hundred years hence,
That the changes will be great
and important in the articles in use
in 1865 and 2015 may be gathered
from the fact that the railroad sys-
TEN, telegraphs, telephones, the
machines worked by electricity, air
craft, submarines, and hundreds of
other inventions, have been made
practical since Twas born. and most
of them within fifty years.
