Williams v. Weaver
This suit, though between Williams, the relator in the preceding case, and the same defendants as there, and coming before us, by writ of error to the same court, is of a very different character. The plaintiff seeks to hold the defendants individually liable for the sum which he was compelled to pay as taxes on shares of national bank stock, by reason of the wrongful assessment for the year 1874, made by them in their official character as the board of assessors for the city of Albany.
The errors in assessments complained of are numerous and of a varied character, most of them having relation to an improper discrimination to the prejudice of the rights of the plaintiff and his assignors, as holders of such shares.
The Court of Appeals, in its opinion, conceding the assessment to be in many respects erroneous and to the prejudice of plaintiff, holds that, in the absence of fraud or intentional wrong, the defendants were not personally liable in damages for any error in the assessment. Whether that court decided that question correctly or not, it is not a Federal question, but one of general municipal law, to be governed either by the common law or the statute law of the State. In either case it presents no question on which this court is authorized to review the judgment of a State court.
That decision is also conclusive of the whole case. If the defendants, in assessing property for taxation, incur no personal liability for any error they may commit, the fact that the error consisted in a misconstruction of an act of Congress can make no difference. An officer whose duty personally, as the Court of Appeals of New York holds, is mainly judicial, is no more liable for a mistaken construction of an act of Congress than he would be for mistaking the common law or a State statute.
We may observe, also, that the Federal right mainly relied on here as having been violated, namely, the right to have plaintiff's indebtedness deducted from the valuation of his bank shares, was not raised, because he did not, as in the previous case, make the necessary affidavit and demand.
On the whole, there is no error which this court can review.
Judgment affirmed.

United States Supreme Court
177 U.S. 601
Williams v. Wingo
Argued: April 11, 12, 1900. --- Decided: May 14, 1900
By the statutes of Virginia authority was given to the county courts of the several counties to license ferries. By an act passed March 5, 1840 (Acts Assembly 1839-1840, p. 58), carried, with simply verbal changes, into chap. 64 of the Code of Virginia of 1873 as § 23, and subsequently into chap. 62 of the Code of 1887 as § 1386, it was provided:
'Be it enacted by the general assembly, That it shall not be lawful for the court of any county to grant leave to establish a ferry over any watercourse within one half mile, in a direct line, of any other ferry legally established over the same watercourse.'
In 1880 the county court of Giles county gave to the plaintiff in error a license to maintain a ferry across New river. On March 5, 1894, the general assembly of Virginia passed the following act (Acts Assembly 1893-1894, p. 789):
'Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That it shall be lawful for the county court of Giles county to establish a ferry at a point on New river, in said county at a point around Egglestons Springs depot and between Egglestons Springs and Egglestons depot, on the New river branch of the Norfolk & Western Railroad, Giles county, Virginia. Said court in establishing said ferry shall be bound by sections thirteen hundred and seventy-five, thirteen hundred and seventy-six, thirteen hundred and seventy-seven, thirteen hundred and seventy-eight, thirteen hundred and seventy-nine, thirteen hundred and eighty, thirteen hundred and eighty-one, thirteen hundred and eighty-two, thirteen hundred and eighty-three, thirteen hundred and eighty-four, and thirteen hundred and eighty-five of the Code of Virginia; but section thirteen hundred and eighty-six of said Code so far as the distance of one half a mile is concerned, shall not apply to the establishment of said ferry at said place.'
Under this act a license was given to the defendant in error to establish a ferry within less than half a mile of the ferry established by the plaintiff in error under his prior licease. The rightfulness of this action was sustained by the circuit court of Giles county, and subsequently by the supreme court of appeals of the state of Virginia, and to review such decision this writ of error was brought.
Mr. W. J. Henson for plaintiff in error.
Mr. S. W. Williams for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the court:

# Eastern North Carolina Encyclopedia/North Carolina to the Front Rank

North Carolina to the Front Rank
Although this publication deals primarily with conditions in Eastern North Carolina, it might be well to give a few facts about the State as a whole. The counties listed in this publication have made it possible and although the territory covered by this organization includes 46 counties, only those making appropriations for this special work are included in this book. However, the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce will be delighted to furnish information about any of the counties of the 46.
No state in the Union has made such rapid increase industrially, agriculturally, and educationally as North Carolina, during the recent years. Her growth sounds more like a fairy tale than it does real facts. But it is a fact just the same. In 1900 expenditures for education in North Carolina amounted to less than a million; in 1923 the expenditures total $23,000,000.00. In 1900 the expenditure for new school buildings was less than $41,000.00; in 1922 it was more than $6,000,000.00. In 1900 the average value of each school house was $150.00; in 1922 it was $4,500.00. In 1900 the average length of public school term was 73 days; in 1922 it was 143 days. In 1900 North Carolina had about 30 high schools; in 1923 she had 475. In 1900 the percentage of illiteracy in North Carolina was 29.4; in 1920 it had been reduced to 13.1, the white race being only 7.1.
MANUFACTURING
In 1900 the capital invested in manufacturing in North Carolina was $68,283,000.00; in 1920 it was $669,144,000.00. In 1900 the value of manufactured products was $85,274,000.00; in 1920, $943,808,000.00. In 1920 North Carolina cotton mills used 190,000,000 pounds of cotton; in 1920, 449,000,000 pounds. In 1900 North Carolina produced 29,790,000 bushels of corn; in 1920, 54,630,000 bushels.
FINANCES
These figures speak for themselves. In 1900 the total resources of the National Banks of North Carolina was $15,362,000.00; in 1920, $183,816,000.00. In 1900 the total deposits in National Banks in the State were $16,700,000.00; in 1920 they were $315,000,000.00. In 1900 the assessed valuation of property in the State was $306,579,000.00; in 1920 it was $3,139,705,000.00.
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA HAS HER SHARE
Our territory covers half the State and the enormous figures referred to above apply half to Eastern Carolina and half to the other part of the State. No section of the State has made greater progress along any line than the Eastern Part of the State and we take great pride in submitting figures to anybody interested in determining any of the above facts relating to this section.

PREFACE
IN PRESENTING to the reader this "Encyclopedia" of Eastern North Carolina, we wish to emphasize the fact that the information contained herein about any county, is authentic. These facts of the various counties participating, have been carefully gone over by the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce officials to be sure that no extravagant statements have been made.
This organization, which has for its territory 46 counties in Eastern North Carolina, felt that a publication such as this, where the information could be regarded as authentic, is necessary. There are so many "facts" issued about different sections that have no substantial backing, the would-be-citizen becomes disgusted and is inclined not to believe any of them. But you may be assured that you are dealing with a reputable organization and that nothing will be misrepresented in these pages. We invite you to investigate the possibilities of Eastern North Carolina, "Where Prosperity is Perennial."

# Eastern North Carolina Encyclopedia/Pender County

PENDER COUNTY
Pender County, located in Southeastern North Carolina, having fifteen miles of undeveloped seacoast, offers one of the greatest opportunities in the South for an investment as a summer resort, fishing for sport and commercial purposes good.
Of the 548,480 acres comprising the county, only 30,000 acres are under cultivation. Game abounds in these vast areas of uncultivated land.
This county is well situated for general farming, trucking, dairying, hog and poultry raising.
It is well adapted to the growing of all staple crops that are grown in this section of the State, such as corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts and forage crops.
The soils are of a great variety, ranging from the light sandy to the heavier types with sandy loam top soil underlain with clay.
These excellent soils, with the natural climatic conditions, plus nearness to market, and in the midst of a Truck Growers Association, make this county an ideal truck growing section. Recently $1,000 to $1,500 has been obtained from one acre of strawberries.
The principal truck crops grown are: Lettuce, strawberries, string beans, Irish potatoes, cucumbers and garden crops.
Interest in live stock and dairying is rapidly growing.
Various denominations have established churches here.
Two accredited high schools are now in operation. The educational program contemplates five new consolidated high schools to reach every section of the county.
Three State Highways traverse the county. Three branches of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad afford good railroad facilities. An ambitious county road program is being carried out.
There is no safer investment than in real estate. Lands in Pender County can be bought at prices that suit you.
For further information secure U. S. Department Agriculture Advance Sheets 1912 Soil Survey of Pender County, with special attention to pages 9, 10 and 21.

# Essays, Moral and Political/Advertisement

Advertisement.
Most of these Essays were wrote with a View of being publish'd as Weekly-Papers, and were intended to comprehend the Designs both of the Spectators and Craftsmen. But having dropt that Undertaking, partly from Laziness, partly from Want of Leisure, and being willing to make Trial of my Talents for Writing, before I ventur'd upon any more serious Compositions, I was induced to commit these Trifles to the ​Judgment of the Public. Like most new Authors, I must confess, I feel some Anxiety concerning the Success of my Work: But one Thing makes me more secure; That the Reader may condemn my Abilities, but must approve of my Moderation and Impartiality in my Method of handling Political Subjects: And as long as my Moral Character is in Safety, I can, with less Anxiety, abandon my Learning and Capacity to the most severe Censure and Examination. Public Spirit, methinks, shou'd engage us to love the Public, and to bear an equal Affection to all our Country-Men; not to hate one Half of them, under Pretext of loving the Whole. ​This Party-Rage I have endeavour'd to repress, as far as possible; and I hope this Design will be acceptable to the moderate of both Parties; at the same Time, that, perhaps, it may displease the Bigots of both.
THE Reader must not look for any Connexion among these Essays, but must consider each of them as a Work apart. This is an Indulgence that is given to all Essay-Writers, and is an equal Ease both to Writer and Reader, by freeing them from any tiresome Stretch of Attention or Application.
