AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Contracts to Divide Notarial Fees Are
Declared to he Void.

Contracts to Divide Notarial Fees Are
Declared to He Void.
Judge Bradley today, in the case OF Ran
dolph D. Hopkins against the Ohio National
Bank, rendered decision of more than
usual Importance and interest to banking
ir stitutions, holding that a contract for the
division of notarial fees is void because it
is against public policy.
1t appeared from the statements of
counsel that Hopkins, notary public,
agreed, in consideration of his appointment
as the banks notary. to charge the bank
but one-half Of the regular lawful fees.
He discovered, 1t was claimed, that the
bank had been charging people the full
lawful fees and retaining the difference.
Ttereupon Mr.. Hopkins sued the bank for
half of the fees retained by it, amounting
to about 81 800
Judge Bradley gave judgment for the
amount claimed by Mr.. Hopkins, holding
that the contract referred to was void, be-
cause against public policy.

WHAT DEOs 1T MEAN
A Resolution Passed by Stockholders
of N. o. Railroad.

The stockholders of the North Caro-
ma Railroad succeeded in holding
meeting in Greensboro late yesterday
afternoon.
Governor Carr has been working on
what he calls principle, to wit: that
railroads, like all other things, should
be taxed. He has failed of quorum
at each annual meeting since 1898.
The meeting yesterday was called to
try to induce the stockholders to sur
render their exemption from taxation,
now that the road has been leased to
the Southern who are to pay all taxes
after January, 1896.
Should they surrender their exemp-
tion for taxation and the Southern
should throw up the lease, the stock
holders would be in for the tax for all
time to come.
GAS things stand the State will col
lect the tax from the Southern any,
way, whether the surrender is made
or not, for the charter provides for
payment of tax after the roads earn
ings shall exceed 6 per per cent.
During the day telegram was re-
ceived from the Governor insisting on
surrender Of the exemption. Then
the private stock got on it's ear and
said not much However, the claus
got together after 4 o'clock, the pri-
vate shareholders agreeing to sur
render.
Judge Burwell, of Charlotte, was
made temporary chairman, and DR..
Benbow secretary. Committee on
proxies reported 6, ,535 shares in person
| and by proxy present. Temporary or
ganization was made permanent.
The lease of the road to the South
ern was ratified sin all respects. f"
There was not dissenting voice in
| adopting the resolution.

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
MISS WILEY AND THE GRADED
SCHOOL BOARD.
A Very Flatfering Offer From the
State Normal-Wili Teach in the
Practical Observation School
of That Institution.

The Board of School Commissioners
met Monday afternoon to reconsider
their action in regard to the resigna-
tion of Miss Annie Wiley. who has
received very fiattering offer from
the State Normal and Industrial
School to become a teacher in the
Practice and Observation School of
that institution. This offer comes to
Miss Wiley unsought by her and is a
great compliment. She is, without
doubt, one of the best teachers in
North Carolina and the students of
the Normal and Industrial School
who are preparing to teach could not
be more fortunate than to have her
daily example before them and her
daily counsel as to the best methods
of teaching.
While we should regret exceedingly
to see her leave Winston, yet we re-
joice that promotion has come to one
so richly deserving it, and we think
the action of the Board in releasing
her will be generally commended.
Such offers do not come to teachers
every day and Miss Wiley has done
such faithful service for the schools in
this city that everybody will be
pleased al her promotion.
The action of the Board was con-
VeyeQ TO MISS whey Dy the following

decision, considered only your in terest
and it sincerely hopes that the change

further professional promotion, which
you so richly deserve by reason of
your course in our schools. We can
not pay you a higher compliment
than to state the fact that in declin-
ing to accept your resignation, last
Saturday, our action has in accordance
with the best interests of our school,
Each member of our Board begs to
assure you of his great appreciation
Of your work in our schools, and his
earnest desire for your future success
and happiness in your new field of la

LIGHT BREAKS LAST WEEK.
Large Shipments of Plug-Cigarette
Business Good.

Breaks continue light on the Win
ston market, with about the same
character of offerings as noted for the
past few weeks. New brights are
fetching high prices. Some excellent
bright stock was shown one day from
Harnett county, n. c.. and sold well.
The old tobacco year will wind up
with the close of this month. 1t is
expected that the new season will
start off briskly, and that it will wit
ness the heaviest leaf business eyer
done on this market. The prospects
are good for the years increase to be
several million pounds over any pre-
vious year. as the crop in this section
is nearly full one, and, besides, Win
ston is going to reach out farther than
ever before.
Brown s. Carter, who have been
holding their sales at the Orinoco
warehouse during the Sam Jones'

SAM JONES IN WINSTON.
WHAT EDITOR FARRIS HAS TO
SAY OF THE EVANGELIST.
The Impression His Slang Words
Make on You is Light Compared
to the Impression of the Great
Truths He Brings Forth.

4EuOHS nc
The editor of the High Point En-
terprise heard Sam Jones, in Winston,
last week. Here is what he says Of
"your Uncle Sam" and the meeting:
''Six years ago we did not like Sam
Jones. We had never heard him then
We heard him, however, at his Char
lOtte meetings and have admired him
ever since. We do not like every
thing he says, neither do we like
everything the other ministers say
He makes remarks which, if taken
from the run of his discourse and out
of connection, would be downright
indecent. The impression his slang
words make on you is light compared
to the impression of the great truths
he brings to the front. Sometimes
he says thing which you would not
say could not say-it makes you
blush a little and yet you are COM
PEELED to admit to yourself that what
he is saying is the truth and the end
thereof is good.
"We saw this illustrated while we
were in Winston. At the beginning
of one of his discourses there were
prominent business men in the con-
gregatiOn who sat stubborn, mad and
disgusted under some of the fire Sam
was UulOWlDS OuU IIOIu Uuc pldUlOT1u.
''At the end of the discourse some
of these same prominent men had I'M
derkOne change, their stern looks
had been changed and they pushed
their way through the congregation
to tell Sam Jones that they had been
wrong and intended to lead better
lives. Little did these men think
about what Sam Jones had said at the
beginning to wound their feelings
The bile had been stirred up and
they wanted relief. All such have no
hard words for the evangelist.
"All things cannot be done with
that nicety that some would have it,.
Napoleon could not do it. Cromwell
did not do it. Xerxses tried it and
failed. Sam Jones won't DO it, in fact
almost everything great that has ever
been done, religious or secular, has
been done in direct opposition to the
established thought and custom OF
that time.
Napoleon did not fight like Alex
ander, Paul did not preach like Jesus
Christ, and yet all four were success
full.
I'VE believe that Sam Jones is ful-
filling the mission for which he was
sent aud that he is the one missiona-
ry that covers all Of that special ter
ritOry."

The couple arrived here at 7:l0 and
at 9 O'Clock the ceremony was perform

1t appears to have been genuine

lady's age was put down on the license
at II years but when Mr.. Brown re-
fused to unite them, the girl said that
a mistake had been made and that she
was eighteen The groom and his
friends bore testimony to her state

HARD ON SMALL MERCHANTS.
The Failure of Wallace Brothers q
s. we're Blow.

The Failure of Wallace Brothers a
S, we're Blow.
There are hundreds of small coun-
try merchants who did business with
Wallace Pros. who are seriously
affected by that firms failure, says
the Statesville Landmark.
For years this class of people, scat
tered throughout all Western North
Carolina, had done business with
Wallace Brothers exclusively. They
bought goods and paid for them in
produce, roots and herbs and sschips
and whetstones," as the saying goes.
The small country merchants, few of
them, got much money. But Wallace
Bros. could take the stuff which these
merchants took in from their custom
ers and turn it into money. Now the
country merchant has no place to
dispose of his roots and herbs and
produce from their customers and
many will have to quit business.
Thus it works hardship all around.
Many, too. will have to pay amounts
due the firm which they are poorly
prepared to pay.
It was sad day for numerous peo-
pie when Wallace Brothers failed.

prose composition should be part of
the course in the 9TH, Sth, and 9th
grades, and that declamations or de-
bates be adopted in the Sth and 9th
grades, once a week.
The Board discussed the question of
returning to the former plan Of hold
ing only one session day, but is was
decided to make no change, unless a
majority of the patrons ask for the
one session.
