Judge Sutton Makes Her Stenographer
of the Criminal Court.
The friends of Miss Edna Robson in
this city, and they are many, will hear
with pleasure that she has been appoint
ed official stenographer to the Eastern
Criminal court. Unit. a short while ago
Miss Robson was Executive Clerk to
Gov. Russell, and the most popular Off
cial in the capitol.
The Wilmington Messenger says of her
appointment:
Miss Edna Robson, who was en-
gagged by Colonel +. w. Foster as stenog-
rapher for this term of the circuit Grim
inal court of New Hanover county, has so
pleased Judge Sutton by her efficiency
that he has appointed her stenographer
for the entire circuit composed of New
Hanover, Mecklenburg, Cumberland,
Robson, Craven, Wilson, Halifax, War
rem, Nash and Edgecombe counties.
by the way, Robson county was
named for Miss Robeson's great-great
grandfather, Colonel Robson, who was
one of the heroes of the revolutionary
war. Readers of history will see his
name mentioned along with those of Lii
lington and Caswell as heroes of the bat
ties of Elizabethtown and Moore's creek.
Miss Robson is very competent
stenographer and Judge Sutton is to be
congratulated upon his selection. While
he was in the last Legislature it was he
who amended the circuit criminal court
act providing for a stenographer'

At the burning of a steamboat ON the

the passengers were drowned. Among

That told the story.
I'm old and chronic cases of indigestion
dyspepsia or gaStritis-it is all the sameJ,
the sufferer develops a great variety of
symptoms and often dies-pOisoned by the
products of his own torpid and infamed
stomach. His food, instead of being d.
gested, and so furnishing strength and
substance, ferments and putrifies within
him. The chief process of life is arrested
at vital point, The more he eats the
worse off he is. And yet unless he can be
fed he must perish. People do so die, dali
ly, by thousands, but we doctors seldom
have the moral courage 10 give the cause
its true name lest we should be laughed
at for our inability to cure SO simple q
thing as indigestion. Simple? Why, 1t
is the capstone of all complaints-and
the mother of most of them" SO writes
n famous English physician.
Some of the symptoms alluded to are
these: Loss of appetite: distress after
eating; heartburn and palpitatiOn; giddi-
ness; foul taste in the mouth; the rising
of nauseous gases into the throat; furred
tongue; spots before the eyes; unaccount-
able WEAKNESS and fatigue: sluggish cir
culation: weakness and nervous prostra-
ton; constipation or diarrhoea discolored
skin, etc.
The sufferers friends often advise him
to cheer up to throw off his lethargy and
eat freely. Bad advice. He knows bet
ter. "No," he answers. Il cannot; my
food does me no good He is right.

a NOVEL SORT OF INJUNCTION
A Man Enjoined From Ever Bringing
His Suit Into Court Again.

This is an era of injunctiOns. and a
novel sort Of one was yesterday issued
by Judge Adams in Wake County Supe-
riOr Court. 1t is IL writ enjOining one
William Smith, Il negro. from bringing
suit again i'll Il case against b. +. Mon
tague, a lawyer here, charging him with
fraud in certain loans which Montague
made to Smith. 1t is doubtful if writ
of this kind has ever before been issued
here.
For the past two years, although fire.
quently disposed of by final judgment,
twice in jury trial, the case of Will
liam Smith against b. +. Montague has
been constantly re-appearing on the dock
ct in Wake county Superior Court. AL
together there have been five final deter
limitations Of the issues involved in the
controversy, at each time in favor Of the
defendant, Montague.
Notwithstanding this, the plaintiff at
each recurring term has endeavored to
reassert his claim by a new action in
forma Iaupelis. At the last term of the
court Judge Adams disposed Of num-
Der of these actions. AS usual the case
appeared again on the docket Of this term,
with Major Bledsoe as attorney.
Messrs. Jones and Boykin, Mr.. Monta-
CUES attorneys decided to put
Il stop to these numerous veX-
atious suits and applied for and
obtained from his Honor what is
known in the common law as a Bill of
Peace, which will forever hereafter pre-
vent any further litigation about the
same matters between the parties.
After the usual formal dismissal of the
cause, this order goes on to say:
at appearing to the satisfaction of the
court that the above entitled action,
brought to this term of the court has
heretofore been heard and determined in

Treasurer Il tax of fifty dollars $500.

Commenting upon this in his letter. Mr..
Worth says:
1T is evident that the General Assem-
bly,. by saying Every person, firm, COM
pany or corporation. meant that this tax
should apply to all drummers alike both
foreign and resident. But as the SUI
preme Courts, both National and State.
have decided that a State cannot tax
foreign drummers. therefore this section
is imperative and void. as applied to for
eign drummers.
III is further evident that the section
WAS intended to apply to all drummers
alike: as it cannot apply 10 foreign drum
mers. it should not, and cannot justly
apply to resident drummers. 1t is also
evident that the Legislature intended
10 put this tax upon a class. If their
power fails rs to part of the class, there
is 40 reason to believe ii was intended
to be in force as to the other. 1t is not
rational to ascribe to the Legislature a
purpose 10 impose n burden upon a por-
ton of that class resident within its Dor
ders, and exempt that portion of the
same class who are nonresident.
Il hold, therefore. that section 81,
Revenue Act of 1897. inasmuch as it can
1got apply 10 all drummers alike, as clear
~ intended. cannot apply to any drum
mer. and is, therefore. imperative and
void"
