TOBACCO GIFT-PACKAGEs.
May be Subject to Seizure, but the Mat.
ter is not Decided.

Washington, Aug. "A modification
of the recent circular of instructions to
collectors of internal revenue has been
made. These instructions declare that
"all packages Of smoking tobacco, fine
cut chewing tobacco, or cigarettes, con-
tanning articles prohibited by section 10,
of the new tariff act, or having such ar
ticles attached or connected Herewith, or
advertising any promise of offer of gift,
reward or prize, contrary to the provi-
sion of the new act, are subject to seiz-
ure." The new order directs that all
violations of this section of the act be
reported to the commissioner of internal
revenue, but no seizure shall be made
without specific instructions from him.
Some question has arisen as to the pow
er of the Department in the premises.
The contention is made that Congress
has no power to fix by law regulations
governing the packing of articles subject
to internal revenue unless in some way
the power or convenience of the govern
ment in the collection is affected; also
that this provision is in restraint of
trade and interferes with legitimate busi-
ness. Until the Department has deter
mined the question, no seizures will be
made under this provision of the law.

OAK RIDGE SENSATION

ISOLATION IN A PANIC.
A NEAT SHOT OF MARSHAL FREDDY
Taylor Was About to Get the Drop Whea
Freddy Put Ball Into His Hand and
it Fe--TayIor Vowed He Would
Not Be Taken Alive.
Not Be Taken Alive.

Winston, n c.. Aug. 2.-(Special.)-
There was lively sensation at Oak
Ridge church, Stokes county, about one
o'clock yesterday.
The annual session of the Pilot Noun
tain Baptist Association had just closed
and the delegates and members of the
congregation were leaving for their re-
Ispective homes, when Mr. George Freddy,
the new deputy marshal for Stokes, ar
rested Jim Taylor, a celebrated block
ader.
The deputy had two officers with him,
and when he called upon the blockader to
surrender, Taylor rolled out of his buggy
in an instant and drew a pistol, which
was well loaded Before he had time to
use it, however, Marshal Freddy fired
upon Taylor, the ball going through the
hand in which the blockader held his
shooting iron.
This caused Taylor to drop his pistol;
in an instant the officer and his assist
ants were on top Of Taylor and a lively
tussle followed for about ten minutes.
There were many pistols flying in the air;
women and children were screaming, and
the situation was anything but pleasant
even for spectators. The officers finally
tied Taylor and he was placed in a buggy
and carried to Jail at Danbury.
A report was brought here today that
some of Taylor's friends made an attack
on the officers while they were en- route
to Jail, and that several men ON both
sides were wounded.
Taylor has been in the moonshine buSi-
ness and has defied the officers for sew
eral years. He generally carried Win
chester and pistol with him.
Freddy sent Taylor word as soon as he
was appointed deputy marshal that he
had five warrants against him and ex-
Ipected to arrest him. Taylor replied that
he would never be taken alive.

was talking to a well-known Eumis- matic the other day about the dollar of lS0l, for good specimens of which such fabulous prices are paid by collectors. and he gave me some interesting infor- nation, says a Washington correspon. dent of the New York Commcru al Ad- rertiscr. The reason the dollars of 1904 ure so scarce is that none were coined that year, there being ar excess of coins of that denomination in circulation. Tn 1863, as is always done, the dies were made for the succeeding year, hut none were coined until 1856, when Director Pollock of the mint found the old die of 1894 at Philadelphia, and in order to complete his own collection offered 10 exchange with numismatics. How many were struck off is not known, but oEc of these belonging to cx- Director Lirdcman was sold at auction in New York for S47O. Upon the carly dollars coined around the rim of the coin was cut the words: Unit, one hundred cents" This is termed the collar" by numismatics, and there is no collar upon these restrikes. Hence, # is useless to look among the old dol lars that were in circulation for one "H~',~ tNc date of 1894.
