The shells used in this battle were in
spected by four different people, all
members of the company. They were
first inspected by the captain, then by
the second lieutenant, then by the first
sergeant, then by Private Doyle, and all
were found to be blank shells. They
were then placed in the captains locker,
where they remained until issued. The
shells are always issued, and on no oc-
Icasion have the men been allowed to sup
Iply themselves. In issuing shells the
company always falls in and is brought
Ito right face, and then so many shells
as are to be used are issued to each
man-always being counted by the dis
Itributor. We do not see how a ball shell
could be overlooked after so many in
spections, and we. the officers of the
company, cannot lay blame on any mem
Der. Furthermore, we have officially in

THE FATHER IN HARD LUCK.
His Sky Blue Office is to Have No New
Furniture when Opened up Again.


Furniture when Opened up Again.
The old furniture will today be moved
back into the Treasurer's office-which
has recently had new tile floor put in
and Father Worth will again proceed to
do business at the old stand. The Father
wanted a new set of bank furniture, the
latest and most improved, for his office,
but the Council of State couldn't see it
just in that light, so he will move back
his old chattels and do plain old fash
toned business without any frills on it.
Father Worth has had his heart set
on this new set of furniture for many
days and it no doubt vexes his soul to
be thus baked in his pet plans. He has
had his office specially prepared for the
new furniture-for which he did not pro-
pose to pay more than $4,000. The floor
has been made like Joseph's coat with
thing, while the walls and ceiling have
been painted a sky blue.
1t is privately whispered that Father
Worth has invested In suit of clothes
of cerulean hue to match that sky-blue
office and that, il the new furniture
had been bought, no estate hand would
henceforth have been permitted to enter
its sacred precincts without first putting
on the regulation blue overall.
But alas, and alas for the uncertainty
of things human. The plans of even q

men, loft gang aglee.''

A ISLANDER CASE ON TRIAL.

The Smith-ThompsOn Injunction Case to
be Heard Tonight
ssssssen<sas~ .S'T
Most of yesterday was taken up by the
Superior court in the trial of Albert
Chappell for SANDER. A large number
of witnesses had been summoned and
the hearing would probably have con-
sumed a good part of to-day had the
case not been mol pressed late yesterday
afternoon. 1t was quite sensational
case and the crowd of spectators in court
during the day was large.
Another matter that occupied some
time was an attempt to have the case of
Thomas Robertson, for the seduction of
Julia Hester, removed to another county
on the ground that justice could not be
obtained here Mr.. r. II. Battle made
the motion, and then another attorney,
who is said to be connected with the
case in some way, had the very bad
taste to make it an excuse to abuse the
News and Observer for something he
thought it had said several months ago.
Solicitor Pou replied to Mr.. Battle and
urged that the trial be had in Wake.
He contended that justice could be
had here and made the point that the
reasons for the removal advanced by
the defendant were insufficient.
The judge agreed with Mr.. Pou and
set the trial of Robertson for next Tues
day.
Other cases disposed of during the day
were as follows:
William Henry plead guilty of larceny
and was sent to the roads for six
months.
Will Brown was also found guilty of
larceny and got twelve months on the
roads.
Jim Jeffreys, Dock Lucas and Jerry
Aston, who escaped from the work
house, were sent back for thirty days

SAYS IT Is CONSTITUTIONAL.
The Attorney Generals Opinion on the
Local Taxation Law.

Local Taxation Law.
The Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton yesterday received the following let
ter from the Attorney General touching
the constitutionality of the local taxation
law:
Lexington, n. c., July IA, 1897.
Hon. G.. III. Mebane, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Raleigh, n. c.:
Sir: / reply to your letter of recent
date inclosing me the letter of J. A.
Bryan, Esq, in regard to the validity of
the local taxation law for public schools
passed by the last Legislature, l am of
the same opinion as when, after an exam
nation of the law, l gave my opinion to
be that the law was regularly passed
and was valid.
Mr.. Bryan admits that the law regu-
larly passed the House and the Senate
as required by Article 2, Section IA of
the Constitution, but says that when it
again reached the House for concur
renee, it was there passed and concurred
in without entry upon the journal of the
yea and nay vote required by the Con
stitution; that is to say, that the Sen
ate amendment annually appropriating
$4,000 should have been concurred in
by the House when the bill again reached
that body. l cannot concur in this prop
osition. Article 2, Section IA of the
State Constitution does not require that
a bill making an appropriation shall be
passed at all by an yea and nay vote at
any stage in either branch of the General
Assembly, for if it did then every bill
carrying an appropriation out OF the
State Treasury for the support of the
State institutions and all other purposes
passed in the last twenty-five years
would have been unconstitutional.
Respectfully yours,
ZEB V. WALSER,
Attorney General of North Carolina.

SCARCITY OF COTTON IN THE
SOUTH.

SOUTH.
New York Evening Post.)
The situation of affairs now confronting
the cotton mills of North Carolina, and
indeed of the whole South, is a very SER
iOus one They are daily finding it more
and more difficult to get cotton to keep
their hands employed. The last crop was
much shorter one than was generally
imagined, and it has been more complete
ly marketed than has ever before been
known at this time of the year. This is
accounted for by the fact that during
the season 1S9J-'96 the brokers and spin
ners in Manchester and Liverpool and
other European manufacturing centres
bought the staple very sparingly, but
used up the large stock that they had
been accustomed to keep on hand. There
fore during the past season 0S96-'9O it
was necessary for them to buy very heay-
lily.
There is. of course, plenty of cotton
stored in New York and New Orleans,
bat it would cost too much to bring it
here; so it now looks as if the North
Carolina mills will have to close. AL
ready there is the sharpest kind of COM
petition for the few hundred bales found
scattered over the country.
The mills of this city are contemplate
ing suspension of operations at an early
date because of insuffciency of raw ma
terial The other mills of the State, so
far as heard from, are in the same pre-
dieament, as are also those Of South
Carolina. Many OF our largest mills
aew have on hand less than 100 bales,
RI Nxyhn will
be able to get more. A few of them have
already fixed a time for closing

Lewiston Sun: There is little mys-
terry connected with the letting of City
hall for polo. this winter, which is in
teresting the parties who run the team
and also a few members of the city
government, who are watching the ac-
tions of the committee on public prop
erty in relation to this matter At 2
recent meeting of the committee on
public property, at which Councilman
Cass Spear was not present, who, by
the way, is willing to let the hall to
the parties who used it last year, and
at the same rate, the following bus
mess was transacted, and some folks
claim that they can read between the
lines and express surprise that two
members of that committee, who have
been at loggerheads thus far during
the year should apparently be sailing
in the same boat at the present time.
Tuesday, October 10. on motion of AL
derman HILBERT it was voted to let
Alderman Sanborn have the exclusive
| right of City hall for polo, this winter,
thus giving that gentleman the priv
ilege, after paying the city $25, for the
use of the hall per night. the opportu-
nifty to charge Messrs. Cody & Co. any
price he sees fit. 1t will be noticed
| they did not give him exclusive au-
| thority to let the hall for polo pur-
poses but to have the exclusive right
| of the hall. On motion of Mr.. Davis,
| voted that Mr. Sanborn and Mr.. Hib
| bert be committee to buy the coal
for the city building. The public now
wonders whether the polo profits go
into the pockets of some Of the COM
mittee or into the city treasury
