JUSTICE LAMAR.

(Raleigh, n. c.. News and Observer)
Those who knew Justice Joseph
Rucker Lamar loved him for his
rare charm of manner and warm
heart as much as they admired him
for his learning and probity. He
loved the law, had won the highest
place in that noble profession, and
adorned it by holding the scales of
justice evenly.
As man he had a rare charm
which won him the love of his fell
lows. His service as a member of
the commission that opened the way
for Pan-American united action in
bringing Mexico out of its trout es
was great strain upon his strength.
and his arduous labors upon that
commission, added to the existing
duties of his great office. undermined
his helath. In those noble virtues
that make what we believe are in
carnate in a Southern gentleman, he
was richly endowed.

THE HABIT OF TALK

Swimming over the society column or

Certainly the newspapers do per

ago where ingenuity only rescued
the dinner guest from unwilling
starvation. The functio nof talking
is more important than the function

This is not true in the country.
Farmers are supposed to be taciturn
and relapse into long silences In
country hotels the amiable boniface
feels it a duty to supply the heavy
artillery of talk, and generally he

habit of talk has not invaded the
rural districts to any extent.
But in the city talk has become
necessary. And newspapers fill the

Perhaps this is one of the reasons
why so many find a lure in the res

relieved at intervals from the OPP
preston of garrulity by the presence
of other sounds. 1t does not take a
music lover to appreciate the strains
or should they be called jOlts-of
the popular cafe Orchestras. The
tired talker of nothings and retailer
of spicy bits and attractive nonsense
finds no attraction in those vast and
spacious dining halls where no ear
splitting clarinet or brassy trumpet
supplies the perfect peace that he
desires. In the ordinary cabaret he
could check his tongue in the cloak
