The Supreme Court of North Carolina.
i'll the case of SOulter VS.. The Steamship
Company, has rendered the following de-
cisions, which will prove of interest to the
Savannah pilots:
l. The relation of master and servant
exists between the owner of vessel and
licensed pilot temporarily taking the mas
ter's place in controlling the navigation
of the vessel.
2. Where a steamer collided with the
plaintiffs boat lying at wharf. there
being room for the steamer to leave its
moOrings without the danger of collision:
Held, that the owner of the steamer is
liable to the plaintiff in damages for the
injury sustained.
8. The pilot is individually liable only
where he is in actual charge and solely at
fault, and this muct be affirmatively
shown, together with the fact that there
was no fault on the part of the officers or
crew of the colliding vessel to relieve ITS
owner of the prtnld fdcte liability for the
accident; and any negligence concurring
with the fault of the pilot will not exempt
the owner.

The smoke of the county contests hav-
ing cleared away, it is now easy to see
that Governor Boynton will remain in his
present position until the expiration of
Governor Stephens unexpired term.
This is as it should be. He came into
the office without any scramble on his
part, has ably and promptly discharged
all public duties, and is gentleman of
such purity and dignity of character and
bearing as should honor such high posi-
tion.
As the canvass now stands, unless Ba-
cons friends resort to some unknown
methods, there is no danger of a dead
lock. Nor will BOynton's defeat secure
Bacon's nomination. know some of the
