SUSTAINS ASSIGNMENT LAW
Supreme Court Keverses the Decision
of lower Court in N Import
ant Case.

The opinion handed down by Assocl-
ate Justice Hamilton in the Supreme
court yesterday, in. cases Nos. 673 and
674, Early Times Distlllery company ct
al. appellants, VS.. Charles Zeiger ct al,
appellees, was an important one, mas
much as it sustains the constitutionality
of the territorial assignment law. This
suit was brought under the act of 1889,
chapter 67 of the 1889 Session Laws,
known as Gan act to prevent debtors in
contemplation of insolvency from pre-.
ferring one or more creditors to the e1-
clusion in whole or in part of Others"
The law provides that any act done by q
debtor in contemplation of insolvency
preferring one creditor over another
should operate as general assignment
for the benefit of all creditors; 1t further
provides that any creditor can file his
bill in equity within six months after
such act, and the court may appoint a
receiver, and proceed to administer upon
the insolvent estate for the benefit of all
creditors.
The defendants, Zeiger ct al, demurred
to the complainant's bill, and thereby
raised the question as to whether this act
allowing simple contract creditor to go
into equity before obtaining Judgment at
law, was not in conflict with the seventh
amendment to the constitution protecting
the rights of trial by jury in law cases, as
distinguished from equity cases. The
Supreme court in reversing the court be.
low, holds that such an act of preference
created trust estate, and it was not nee
essary for the creditor fling this bill tc
previously obtain judgment a. law, and
that this statute was therefore not in con
fict with the seventh amendment to the
constitution. Mr.. Frank W. CLANCY oi
Albuquerque, was the attorney for the
dlstillery company, and Messrs Ohilderf
& Dobson, of Albuquerque, represented
Charles Zeiger ct al.

Fairmont. w. Va, July 21.-Eugene
V. Debs addressed 400 miners at Wat
son this evening, 800 Of them marching
there from Monongah, q distance of
four miles. In his speech he took pains
to denounce the reports sent to various
papers by special correspondents saying
he was discouraged. Debs' speech was
n socialistic one and his utopia was
described to the men completely. Debs
does not leave here for Columbus as
many papers state. Ratchford will come
to him. Debs, when seen, denounced the
refusal of the Mayor of Pocahontas to
let Sovereign speak, as follows:
''If it is true, we are no better IN the
United States than in Russia. Free
speech is denied in West Virginia, so it
is in Russia. 1t shows the desperation
on the part of the operators. It's like
other schemes of the money power. The
end is near. 1t is cupidity, and cupidity
commits suicide. They can force us
down now but it is like damning
stream. You can build the dam higher
and higher, but finally the dam must
break. Pent up power will some day
destroy Sovereigns fate will strengthen
the social Democracy"
The meeting at Worthington this af-
ternoon was a very successful one from

always on hand. Sensational publica-
tons have frightened the roads.

ONE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

The Portland (Me) Advertiser says that
"the increase of the duty ON white pine
lumber, which was one dollar thou
sand in the Mckinley tariff, should now
be raised to double the amount is one OF
the mysteries Of the pending bill" The
mystery is explained by Mr.. A ii. Win
chester, of Buckhannon. w. Va, who
writes:
"There was a meeting of lumber
kings in Senator Burrows commit
tee room not long ago. One OF the
gentlemen from Minnesota made an
estimate ON the back Of an envelope
of what the two-dollar rate meant to
the group of men present. He walked
around the room, and then SAID:
Mr.. Burrows. do you know what
one dollar a thousand would mean to
this little crowd of men in here? On
last years product alone it would
have netted for us $6,125, 000."
This is a sample of the way the whole
tariff bill was put together. Thirteen
millions for Havemeyer, six millions to
a handful Of Michigan lumber kings, and
millions more to the other fellows who
Clipped in to elect Mckinley. The ordi-
nary taxpayer was well named "the
forgotten man. by Senator Mills.

VALUE OF PROPERTY.
Lexington's Worth Over Three Mil
lion-Opposed to New School Law
New Hotel and New Postmaster.

Lexington, N. G., July 21.-(Special.)-
Register of Deeds Harris yesterday COM
Ipleted the abstract of taxable property
|of Davidson county, and forwarded
same to the State Board Of Equalization
at Raleigh. The total amount Of prop
erty listed is $3,179,152, which is more
than one hundred thousand dollars less
than last years list. Lexington township
nays more than one-third Of the tax col
|lected by the sheriff. The land and stock
of the other sixteen townships are listed
lat low figures, but, perhaps, the property
lis given in at it's value in these days Of
prosperity"
The people of this county are much op-
posed to the new school law. They say
that under the old Democratic law we
had good schools and that the taxes paid
to support them were used for the sole
good of the children; that under this law
a great deal of the money will be used
Ito pay officers salaries and fees. Our
people are not opposed to schools. they
are in favor of them, but they are OPP
posed to this new school law in toto;
they say it is the radical offspring of
radical fusion, that it should be repealed,
THAT it will be repealed by the next legis-
IIature, which is sure to be Democratic.
