M. A. P. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once told an amusing story, of an illiterate millionaire who gave a wholesale dealer an order for a copy of every book in all langua-ges treating of any aspect of Napoleon's career. He thought it would fill a case in his library.

He was somewhat taken aback, however, when in a few weeks he received a message from the dealer that he had got 40.000 volumes, and was awaiting instructions as to whether he should eend them on as an Instalment or wait for a complete set.

The next meeting of the Retail Hardware Dealers' Association of the Carolinas, held this week in Asheville, and attended by a number of Charlotte hardware men, will next year be held in Charleston, S. C. The final report of the receiver for the Southern -Cotton Mills, at Bessemer City, has been filed at Greensboro by Mr. Ceasar Cone, and July 26 was fixed by Judge Boyd as the date for the final disposition of the affairs of the receivership. The first Mecklenburg watermelon lis being anxiously awaited.

If it has arrived yet it has not been reported, but there is an abundance of the Georgia melons available, which keep the colored brother satiated for the time being. Mr. Samuel A. Gaylord, who recently resigned his position as clerk at the Central to accept a position as traveling salesman for the Saunders, Hannon Company, returned last ni-ht from a visit to his home at Richmond. The new American Trust Company building on South Tryon street is practically completed as to the exterior, excepting the glass, and presents a strikingly handsome appearance.

The building is located on the old Y. M- C. A. site. The "Waxhaw Enterprise says: "The Enterprise learns with genuine pleasure that Mr.

W. P. Wingate, of Charlotte, will move his family back to Waxhaw in the near future. Mr. Wingate has an interest in the Rodman-Heath Cotton Mills, of which he was formerly superintendent for a number of years." A large hook is on exhibition in front of the Alamo Theatre on West Trade street to-day and has caused much comment from passers-by.

The hook is a familiar object in use in Vaudeville theatres where amateur night is observed, and when the familiar term, "Get de hook," is used to-night, the hook is ready. The work of rejuvenating Vance Park has been completed. The drain from the fountain has been supplied, the walks have been put in excellent condition and the benches repaired ami repainted and the pretty little "Central Park" is now a thing of beauty and a source of pride to Charlotte citizens especially to the residents in that section of the city. Cotton to-day is selling for 12 1-4, the highest price that has been realized since June. 1908.

The receipts this week, however, have been only three bales, against IS bales for the same days last year. The price last year, after reaching 12 1-4 rents early in July, began dropping off. continuing clown until about two months ago, when it began climbing, again. MORO SCOUTS. Difficulties of Handling Mohammedans in the Philippines.

Uncle Sam's Magazine. The War Department has recently issued an order organizing two of Moros as Philippine Scouts. The Mr-os are Mahammedans, and any oaths which the Mohammedans might take to a Christian would not be considered binding the moment they felt inclined to break them, because in the Koran they are not enjoined to be faithful to infidels, and that is what we Americans are, in their estimation. Cnless the proper officers are placed over these men the experiment will not be a success. We must put officers over these men who are able to read the Koran, in a sympathetic spirit, and above all, men who do not identify themselves with chaplains in the army.

Now the orders are that the uniform and equipment for these Americanized Moros are to be the same as for other scouts. This is a mistake. No true Moro will wear a hat. The only thing he will wear if- a fez cap. Any Moro that they will get who will dispense with the fez mast be renegade Mohammedans the least desirable class we can possibly get.

Futhermore, the officers of these Moro scouts, when off duty and in the evening, and in fact at all times when they are not in the tropical sun, should wear a fez. That would he exclusive proof that they were not inimical to Mohammedanism, because they are wearing the emblem of the Prophet. Moros, if handled right, should make excellent poldiers, since they are all born warriors. If not handled right they might prove a serious menace. A "Woman Onion Grower.

'Baltimore American. "You may have heard how the Rio Grande country has put the Bermuda onion growers out of business." said Capt. George H. Darter, of Laredo, Tex. "Our most successful grower, by the way, is a lady, Mrs.

E. C. Dodd, who lives in my town. She cultivated 135 acres this season and made a net profit on her onion crop of a little over $50,000. To make land bring a gain of $400 an acre is something- few men have the ability to do, and yet this lady does not seem to regard her feat as entitling her to any great praise.

"Mrs. Dodd looks after every detail of her farm in person. Raising onions is no child's' play; it involves hard work and great expense in our section, where irrigation is necessary. It is the intention of Mrs. Dodd to plant on a still bigger scale as she gradually brings more of her land under irrigation." Dogs Have Cancer.

McClure's Magazine. Among animals reptiles are practically the only species in which cancers have not been found, but it is the domesticated animals or those living in closest association with man that suffer most. Thus horses, cows, pigs, parrots, canary birds, cats, mice, rats all these have cancer, and it is the closest animal associate of man, the dog, that is the most commonly afflicted. If all tf lap dogs of Fifth avenue and our other fashionable quarters were examined a considerable proportion would be found afflicted with one or more malignant tumors. Judge.

Ted Does the government fisheries commission have any difficulty in finding waters to stock? Ned I shouldn't think so. All they have to do is to pick out those summer resorts that advertise good fishing-. Will Consider Matter of Leaving IXMoratiAe Arches on the Streets Until After the State Veterans' Reunion in August. A special session of the board of aldermen called to meet in the council chamber at the city hall to-niht to consider the requests of several interested citizens that the decorative arches which have stood on Tirade and Tryon streets since the Twentieth of May celebration be allowed to stand until after the reunion of the State 'Confederate veterans to be held in -Charlotte on August 25 and 28. An order was issued by the board of aldermen at the meeting Tuesday aight that these arches be removed once, the ground being taken by some that the arches were a menace tii traffic and dangerous in the event of a runaway team.

These arches were a source of pride to Charlotte citizens and added very much to the splendid display made in the celebration of May 20, and it was the wish of the committee on arrangements for the veterans' reunion that the arches should remain to add to the decorations on that occasion. The arches on North Tryon and West Trade streets were especially wanted by the veterans' committee as a means of welcoming visitors to the city. The work of tearing down the arch on South Tryon street was begun yesterday and that arch has been about half torn away. However, the work of demolishing that arch was held up this morning but it is hardly probable that this arch can remain as it has been over half torn down and would require considerable expenditure to be replaced in its former condition. A committee from the veterans arrangement committee went to Mayor Pro-tem Stewart yesterday afternoon and asked that the arches be allowed to stand, which request was denied by that official.

An appeal to the board of aldermen was made and the extra session called for to-night. It requires the request of six aldermen. NEVER SAW GAME IN ALL HIS LIFE Squire Hilton Declares He Hasn't Seen a Baseball Game Later man July. 1844 As the -Soul-Antipathy' to the Game, He Places Himself in Opposition to Col. J.

A. Russell, the Baseball Affinity of the Court House. "How old is 'Squire S. H. Hilton?" He says he has never seen a baseball game since July 6, 1844, and that statement put a puzzled look on the countenances of some of the callers at i his office this morning, when he plac-! ed his official ban on this "dab-blasted" chasing of a baseball all over crea-j tion.

I While the irate' squire was making I his dissertation on baseball as a mod-' ern fad, which works for the disruption of society, some of his hearers were figuring out the proposition to ascertain when the 'squire had seen a real baseball game, if ever. "I find that it has been over 65 'years since you saw a game of base-; ball," remarked one in the 'squire's I audience, that sat about in the cool air of the subterranean office under the court house. "Sixty-five years, did you say?" inquired the 'Squire, with a sangfroid I that made one feel chilly and caused spinal -column to have sensations 'like a strip of ice was laid along its length. "Now, I see you folks never will understand me." remarked the 'squire, and he then followed his first astonishing announcement by another that he had been born on the date mentioned, and therefore he had never seen a game of modern baseball and "what's more, he didn't intend to." i Not Col. Russell's Affinity.

I From the above it will be clearly that 'Squire Hilton is not the affinity of Col. June Russell, the clerk of the court, who believes that next i to the singing of hymns, baseball is one of the choicest recreations of man, and one of the most elevating. This state of affairs at the court I house has caused some of the jesting ones to offer irrelevant remarks about I the situation, that should not be treated with over-much dignity by the sad i minded and sedate of the court house population. For instance, there is Prof. R.

J. I Cochran, who, after the manner of thought pursued by a chemist, holds that by the laws of chemical reactions an affinity, and an antipathy will cause an explosion, when brought in close contact, and the man who takes 1 care of the educational function of the county government, is warning his friends not to approach any assembly-ings about the court house, lest the 'squire and the clerk of the court should "bo there, and a terrific explo sion IOllOW. I 'Squire Hilton, as the antethisis of I Col. Russell, holds a unique position in the annals of the court habitues, who heretofore have never had to 'encounter such a state of affairs. As an affinity to baseball in all forms and styles, when the home team wins and when it loses, Mr.

Russell's reputation is known, and is recognized po-jJitely by the court house people, but 'in the antipathy proposition, there has been injected into the situation some thing new that promises dire trouble i unless somebody is able to find first jwhat dangers are likely where an af-jfinity and an antipathy get in too close contact for their own, and others, benefit. I 'Squire Hilton has strengthened his position by declaring before witnesses jthat the whole police force can't get i him to a game of ball, and Mr. Rus-sell, as the affinity part of the matter, has sworn with equal vehemence, that all the policemen in Charlotte can't keep him away from ja game thus the matter standeth, (and thus the affinity and the anti-iPath will have to fight it out, until the world of science knows which will conquer, or, perchance, if both will not be suddenly changed as in the mingling of chemical elements, into a nentirely new product. To 'Squire Hilton belongs the honor of discovering the "soul antipathy." as contrasted to the "soul-affinity." 3Ir. T.

D. NEflL CO, PROTESTS AGAINST hb water bill Mr. Kdgrar R. Moore Makes Vigorous Coaijxana on Cnarges Agaiiiat Selwyn fleeting; of w'aier lioaiU Declaring that his water bill was 7 3 per cent, higher for the month of June inan for the same period last year anu 7 5 per cent, higner than for the month of May, Mr. Kdgar B.

Moore, oi the Selwyn iiotel, last night entered a vigorous protest against the payment ot his bill for the month, ot June, which amounts to $47, to the board of water commissioners in session last night. R. M. Miller, asked Mr. Moore if the meters at the Selwyn had not shown a corresponding in-cerase to which Mr.

Moore replied that if the meters show an increase he would not believe that such had taken place. He said that the hotel business was less than for the corresponding time last June, and that there was no opportunity for any leakage to occur to make the amount of water flowing through the meter increase as indicated by the bill. The debate between Mr. Moore and the water commissioners naturally grew very interesting and Mr. Millar frankly stated on the floor of the meeting to Mr.

Moore that the board could never consider the refunding of a bill, because the user of the water claimed that he had not used the amount indicated by the meter. That the meter was the only method known whereby the readings or amounts of water used could be determined, and that the board -could not refund money to a patron of the water company for the simple reason that such patron didn't believe that his meter was giving correct readings. Official InvesUsration. Finally after the matter" was thoroughly discussed it was decided that an expert should be secured to go over the situation and that he and Mr. P.

H. Williams, superintendent of the water works company, should conduct this investigation, and then if anything wrong was discovered the water board would make such a refunding as was equitable. The board, however, refused to permit Mr. Moore to abstain from the payment of his water bill on the grounds which he offered. The board also heard a delegation of citizens from Oak Street, near the South graded school, asking that the hoard have a water main placed along that street In order primarily that insurance rates might be reduced.

The request would necessitate the putting down of between 300 and 600 feet of mains and two hydrants, according to estimate. The board asked that the citizens carry the matter before the board of aldermen first, and it was believed that the extension would be readily granted. Another Suit Brought. As was mentioned in The Chronicle several days ago, another suit has been instituted against the board of water commissioners by ertain parties living near the dam at the water plant. Mr.

Hugh W. Harris appeared before the board officially to report the suit and to ascertain the board's wishes regarding a proposed settlement out of court, namely, that the board pay the land owners a rental annually for ten years for some twenty odd acres, which it is alleged in the stilt have been greatly damaged by back water. The board did not consider the compromise satisfactory and Mr. Harris was ordered to continue with the defense of the case in the Superior Court. The board also came to the aid of the Twentieth of committee by contributing a bill for water amounting to about this matter being brought before the board by Mr.

C. O. Kuester. The water was used during the week of the Twentieth. KILLED ON THE RAIL; NEGRO'S SUDDEN CALL Peyton HaneHne.

Colored Fireman on a Taylorsvllle-Charlotte Passeiia-cr Train. Falls from Fneinei Xot Misled Until Train Was far City Backed to Derlta Where Injured Man Was Picked Up. Peyton Haneline, a colored fireman running between Charlotte and Taylorsville on the T. Railroad, fell from the train near Derita last night about 9 o'clock, and was later picked up in an unconscious condition, and taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital here, where he died two hours after arriving at the hospital. The fireman was running on the passenger train from Taylorsville due in the city a'bout 9:30 o'clock.

Kngi-neer Curlec, who was in charge of the engine didn't miss his fireman until the train was nearing the city. Then he remembered that while the train was pulling out from Derita the fireman hd started back to the rear of the tender to put some clothing in his box, preparatory to leaving the train in Charlotte the end of the run. The train was accordingly backed towards Derita and a careful search kept up along the route, the body being located about a mile south of Derita in a bunch of small bushes. The face was badly mangled, both jawbones being broken, and there was a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain. Haneline was brought back to the city on his engine and was taken at once to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where it was soon ascertained that he eould not live.

He dieJ about one o'clock this morning, not having regained consciousness. Haneline had been running on the Southern for a number of years and was esteemed as a faithful and trustworthy man. He leaves a family here. The foody was taken to Coles' undertaking establishment to be prepared for burial. Mr.
