a convict arrived at the penitentiary
to-day from Bladen county. Several con-
victs have been returned to the peni-
Tertiary from the new state farm near
Wadesboro', the work OF clearing the
land being too heavy for them. Great
progress is being made at that farm.
HE is PLEASED.
State-Treasurer Worth is greatly
pleased at the decision OF the Supreme
Court in the appeal of the Wrought-Iron
Rarge Company, from Person county.
The State levied and collected peddlers'
tax, and the county tried to do so. The
company contended that the revenue act
was not signed by the presiding officer
of either branch Of the Legislature. and
hence not valid. The court decides that
the revenue act was not signed, but that
the machinery act was signed and that
they are really one act, and that il was
sufficient ratification Of the revenue act
to print 1t among the public laws. The
county of Person failed TO levy a tax
on peddlers. Had II done 80 il also could
have made the Wrought-Iron Range
Company pay, but II cannot now get the
tax. So the State wins and the county
loses
