One of the real “od’s blood” Virginia gentlemen, pricked by
his opponent’s blade in a well intended effort to take his com
patriot’s life according to the code of honor, was borne, spent
and bleeding, to a neighboring inn. Here was the birth of the
cocktail—a concoction intended to brace and revivify the pallid
duellist.
It was a memorable occasion and a fitting conception for the
fine old drink. Since that glad day whereon the spent bravo
pronounced its excellence, the American cocktail has figured in
many affairs of honor. It has deprived gentlemen of respecta
bility and substance; it has shorne fine ladies of their—lingerie.
It has w ased little patrimonies, and g reat It has made the

HE DECISION of the supreme court, establishing the status
of municipal affairs in Gold Hill, is a welcome conclusion to
T
the long legal battle — necessary to remove the suspicion of a
bar sinister from the prevailing charter and the elected council.
The folly of pursuing city business of importance while the
faintest reflection of illegality existed was plainly evidenced by
the refusal of eastern bonding companies to consider the city
water bonds, voted at the special election of 1911 in which the
charter was adopted, and the necessity of legal action to straight
en the tangle fully apparent. Regardless of the outcome of the
case, the interests of the city were certain to be served by the
established legality of either administration.
The News believes—in common with every good citizen of
Gold Hill—that the decision of the court should be accepted
without show of partisan bitterness, if such exists, and that the
present tranquility of city affairs be made the comer stone of a
greater Gold Hill and a more united citizenship.
Within the next few months the city will pass the turning
point of its history, and in growth and prosperity eclipse the
palmiest day of the past—when whiskered miners with dust in
their pokes made it the greatest mining center of the middle
coast.
The necessity for concentrated, united effort was never
greater—the opportunity for burying the hatchet never more
opportune.
