THAT A. AND M. SCHOLARSHIP.

Wake County Commissioners Decide
that They Have No Right to Ap-
point.
After bting in session two days the
Board Of County Comm .Oners ad
journed last evening, 10 meet again Sat
urday.
Nearly all the time Of the two days
session was taken up with county school
matters. A number of new committee
men were appointed and vacancies on
committees filed.
One colored school district, No. /, was
divided into three districts so as to con
form to the white districts, in the same
township. The representatives of two
factions Wer3 before the board, each
four s .r0ng After a long stretch of
speech-making, a vote was taken, and
the change was carried. Then those
who had labored so strenuously in favor
of holding to the old district gave in
gracefully, and one of them said to the
board; ode chillern in dis district will
rise up and call you blessed
The principal business before the board
was the filing of the vacant scholarship at
the A. and NJ. college. Under the old law
the county Superintendent Of Public In
structiOn held examinations and from
this recommended the applicant for
scholarship. The new law that abolished
the county uperintendency made no pro
vision for filing these vacancies. There
q ere three applicants for the vacancy in
this county.
The County Commissioners decided
that they could not fill the
vacancy under the existing law,
but passed the following,
copy of which was sent to President
Holiday: "While we do not deem it
our duty under the law to make any re-
commendation to fill the vacancy, still
we heartily recommend the three appli-
cants as being we'll worthy Of the posi-
ton"
President Holiday is rGpo, ted to have
said yesterday afternoon that since the
Office Of County Superintendent was
abolished the commits si0ners la the va
rio0s counties had been appointing TO
these scholarships, and that unless The
commissioners filed TIE W~kc county
scholarship it would rerGa;u vacant.

ton again Saturday.

also possessed one field cannon. Gen.
Exchague distributed his men in ad.

certain specified times upon the posi-

The revolu sionists hearing of General
Exchegue's movements arranged for a
strong output to check the impetuositv
OF the Spanish troops. The repnlar
Spanish forces paid very little attention
to the small body Of men stationed at
the outposts and rushed to the main
posts wherever and whenever the in

surgents made desperate resistance,
which lasted seven hours.

THE MERRELL CASE.
The Motion to Quash the indictment
OVerruled.


Sudge Hanckel yesterday render
ed decision in the Merrell case,
charged with selling liquor on Sun
day at the corner of Princess Anne
avenue and Chapel street. Messrs.
Cole Il Shultice moved to quash the
indictment, contending that the
court did not have jurisdiction, and
further, that as there was an ordi-
nance on the subject, the State law
did not apply.
Judge Hanokel overruled the de.
murrer, saying the State laws for
bid opening or selling, while the
city ordinance forbids selling only,
thus making it apparent that the of
fences under each are not substan
italy the same, "But In addition
to this. so Judge Moncuro says in
"Thon's" case OBJ Graf. $50 "We
have further to say that the statute
embraces period not embraced in
the ordinance-that is, from 3
o'clock Monday morning until sun
rise. No sale Of intoxicating drink
nor keeping open bar during that
period would be violation of the
ordinance, whereas sale of such
drink during that period at any
other place than one governed by
such ordinance would be a violation
OF the statute. This would create
palpable difference aud inequality
IN the law governing different local
tiles OF the same State. and could
never have been intended by the
Legislature.
SO long as there is any difference
IN the closing period required or in
the nature OF the offense and pen
atty between the statute and the
ordinance, it seems that these Of
lenses are indictable and not viola.

IS this Courts understanding of
the terms and true intent of Thon's
case, the only utterance of our Su
preme Court on this subject.
