principal cities in the United
States will have an opportunity
to see it at the Academy of
Music in Charlotte, when this
wonderful attraction will be
presented for the eneire week
beginning Monday, March 9Th,
with matinee each afternoon.
The Birth of a Nation has es-
tablished records everywhere
lit has been shown and when it
closed at the Liberty Theatre,
New York City, it made record
that is one which will stand in
the annals of the theatrical
world for many many years.
The run at the Liberty Thea
the, New York City, continued
forty-five weeks without a
break. The total number of con-
Isecutive performances was $40.
During the summer months
there was a supplementary en-
gagement at Brighton Beach,
which is part of the Metropoli-
tan district This engagement
was for fourteen weeks with
1872 performances, making to-
tai of 1872 performances, max
ing a total Of &O2 consecutive
performances in New York. In
addition to this there have
been eighty-tour performances

There were many liquor cases
for trial by the court and the
grand jury began by finding
mo bills. The judge remon-
strared with the jurors, impress
ing upon them the fact that they
are the custodians of the peace
and good order of their county
and that when an experienced
and able solicitor like Mr.. j. K.
Henry of the sixth judicial cir
cult, who is now prosecuting the
Charleston cases had presented
these bills for their considera-
ton, they should be given due
thought. The sequel is that
the grand jury found twenty-one
true bills against violators of
the liquor law.
Judge Ernest Moore and Men
del l.. Smith have, in the past,
likewise impressed upon Char
lesion grand juries a sense of
their responsibility. If all judg-
es saw their duty as clearly and
performed it as fearlessly as
these jurists have done, there
would be fewer miscarriages of
justice and a more general re-
spect for the laws of the State.

there was no question as to the
suicide, the family was instruct

News Spreads Quickly.
The news of the suicide cir
culated quickly and in a very
short time the whole city knew
of it. On College and Fourth
streets, where the cotton offices
are located and where Mr.. Heath
had operated so extensively and
for such a long time, the affair
created vast comment. MANY
expressions of sympathy and
sorrow were heard for the dead
man was immensely popular with
the fraternity and the public at
large. His career had been
checkered but for the most part
1T had been successful although
he had suffered severe reverses
on several notable occasions. He
had always been able to recoup
however and he ever enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of his as
sociates in business. III health
which came on a year or more
ago gave Mr.. Heath more appre-
hension than any financial back
sets and this was said to be the
primary cause for his rash act
yesterday. A little more than a
year ago he suffered a stroke of
paralysis and his health ever
since has not been good.

to me is by the opening of the Panama canal there is a straight line south from New York through the canal to the western coast of South America, which hitherto has been one of the most remote coasts in the world so far as we are concerned; and that the west coast of South America is now nearer to us than the eastern coast of South America ever was to us, so that we have the open Atlantic upon which to approach the east coast.
 Here is the loom all ready upon which to spread the threads which can be worked into a facric of friend ship and wealth such as we have never known before. The real wealth of foreign relationships, my fellow citizens, whether they are the rela- tionships of trade or any other kind uf intercourse, the real wealth of those relationships is the wealth of mutual confidence and understanding.

Special to The Republican,

JEROME, AriZ., Sept. 20.-Uncle Sams mails and Mr. Vails wires are too slow for the United Verde Con- solidated Copper company, which has flashed like a meteor across the hor1- zon of the Jerome district, sold 200 900 shares of reorganization stock in ten days and has the brokers of the whole country bidding frantically for it's treasury.
 One of the longest telephone con- versations on record was held today between C. A. Borden of the firm of Helm and BOrdon, of Jerome, local at torneys for the United Verde Con- solidated and George H. Sullivan, of the big New York law firm of Sulli- van and Cromwell the concern that drew a million dollar fee for cOnsum- mating the purchase of the Panama canal for the United States. Sullivan and Cromwell now represent the Unit ed Verde Consolidated in New York and the telephone conversation was in regard to an important detail con- nected with the organization of the company. It would have taken twelve days at least to settle by let ter a matter that was more satisfac- torily adjusted in four minutes by telephone.
 This is the first time that there was over telephone conversation between Jerome and New York and though this camp is far out in the hills, on q branch railroad. Mir Borden says he was able to hear MT. Sullivan's voice as clearly as though the latter had hccn in the next room.

 T spoke a moment ago of the fed eral trade commission. In conference

 once the president speaking of the nations of Latin-America, said his "chief concern had been to see that nothing was done that did not show friendship and good faith on our part"
