SAW Dust SwINDLEs.-Beware of swim

say dust swindlers are sending their
circulars to the post offices in this section,
inviting people to invest their money in
these swindles. They catch their victims
sometimes too. They offer enough to
make a little fortune by the investment
of comparatively little money, and thus
tempt credulous people who are not
scrupulous as to being honest. 1t is
needless to say that the people who in.
vest are swindled and have a package OF
saw dust palmed off on them, or receive
a package of counterfeit money, and
take the chances of going to the peni
tertiary if they undertake to circulate
it, and are caught. But the saw dust is
the most ommon swindle. We are told
of a youIg man who ordered a pack.

EVERY CITIZEN OF THE STATE
INTERESTED.

A Convention of all foreign-born
citizens of the State, especially those
who are natives of the Northern
States, living in North Carolina, has
been called to meet in Raleigh dur
ing the forthcoming State Fair,
which will be during the last week
in October. Mr.. John r. Patrick has
given but another proof of his indie
tatigable energy in working up this
Convention, and we trust his success
will be commensurate with the hard
labor he has bestowed upon it. We
learn that over 200 Northern Editors
will be present and that already
over 1000 citizens of Northern birth
living among us have signified their
intention to be present. The object
of the Convention is to show to the
people Of the Northern States the
advantages and attractions presented
by our State as a homo for immi-
grants, and to let this come from the
mouths of those who have lived
among us. Every one of these should
attend and by writing at once to
Mr.. Patrick, at Raleigh, reduced
rates on the railroads car be
obtained. W. hope that much good
may be accomplished by it.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS ar JEFF
FERSON

Readers OF THE GAZETTE have learned
OF the great expectations entertained by
the people of Jefferson, Tex, in regard
to coal. Recent Investigations have led
to the belief that immense beds OF btu
minous coal of excellent quality are UNI
der the ground In the immediate vicinity
OF jefferson, and now the proper tests
are to be made TO ascertain whether the
theory is well grounded. The drilling
was to commence yesterday or to-day,
and whatever the developments, the result
will soon be made known. II 1t shall be
demonstrated that the coal, in the guam
tlty and OF the quality anticipated, is
there, Jefferson will indeed be lucky

several moaths IN the year, was the out

the talk OF the state, Then the railroads
came and reversed the old conditions,
Jefferson, relying on "natural advan-
tages," went TO the wall, and other cities
grew up. The people OF Texas will re-

An Important Decision on the Homestead
Law Forfeited Lands in New Mexico.

An Important Decision on the Honest lad
Law-Forfeited Lands in New Mexico.
LARAMIE, w. T., Nov. 30.-.One Of the
most important decisions ever rendered
in this territory was delivered here to-
day by the Hon. Jacob II, Blair, sitting as
United States judge in the case of the
United States VS.. Jahez d. Simpson, in.
dicted at this term of the court and held
here for perjury on two counts Simpson
had taken up homestead entry in the
state of Wisconsin and afterwards com
muted 1t TO cash ENTITY. He afterwards
moved TO this territory and entered a
homestead here, and In proving up swore
that he had never made homestead
entry prior TO the one made In this terri
tory, and the point Involved IN the case
was whether or not the homestead entry
IN Wisconsin, which he afterwards COM
muted, exhausted his rights under the
homestead law. In an Instruction given
50 the jury by Judge Blair he decided
that simpsons entry in Wisconsin did not
exhaust his rights under the homestead
law, and ~ re entering In this territory he
did NOT commit perjury. This is the iirst
time this question mas Deen raised Ia the
courts Of this territory, and 50 far as
known, the first time the question was
ever raised. The case attracted good
deal OF attention. Judge Blair delivered
strong and exhaustive opinion from the
bench, in which the rights OF settlers un-
der the various land laws Of the United
States were fully discussed. The de-
clslon meets with general SO isiaction,
aud among the members OF the bar It was
held that 1t was replete with sound priu-
eiples OF law and in conformity with the
spirit and intent of the law OF the United
States.
