REVENUE COLLECTIONS IN THIS
DISTRICT.
(Col. Odds in Messenger)

In this revenue district In 1893 the
collections from spirits. both whiskey and
fruit brandy, were $104.726. That was
brandy year; that is, there was a heavy
fruit crop. Last wear the collections
were SITS 1913, and almost entirely from
whiskey, as there was little brandy made.
While last month there were 111reg;ster-
ell distilleries there were 1875 in March,
1865. The assertion has been made thai
the Wilson-Gorman bill regulated the in
crease capacity of the distilleries. The
flct is the bill was prepared by the Re
p, blican administration, but it went into
effect just after the Wilson-Gormaa bill.
At first, this bill. requiring IN increas
in the amount Of whisky to be made
from each bushel of corn, was regarded
as n hardship, but the last report for as
eessments for failure to make the new
capacity showed only "a out Of 126 dis
tilleies which failed to come up to the
requirements.

The Fairview Institute baseball team
was just back from Reidsville with the
smile Of Fridays victory still radiant
when they met the Burlington team upon
the home grounds in game played here
yesterday. Easter holidays had brought
large crowd from the surrounding
towns. Burlington was not in evidence
from the very beginning, and was de-
feated by a heavy score. The features
were shot hits for Burlington, while for
Fairview the hits were always hard,
and frequently scientifs. The team goes
to Presbyterian High School, Mebane,
for two games on Friday and Saturday.
and to Oak Ridge next week.
Henry Blount delighted everybody last

HAT TRIMMINGS CASE.
The Decision Goes for the Government
Involving Over $20,00O,OOO.

Philadelphia, April 20.-lThe famous
hat trimmings case. which indirectly in
VOWED between $2O,OOO,OOO and 5,OOO.-
600, and which has been postponed from
time to time for the past three years,
was finally decided in favor Of the govern
ment by jury in the United States Cir
cult Court this afternoon.
The suit was brought as test case by
Meyer & Dickinson, big importers Of this
city, who sought to recover from the
United Staes government difference Of
30 per cent. in customs duties. The firms
contention was that the importations in
question consisted solely of hat trim
mings, on which the duty under the Nc
Kinley tariff act was only 20 per cent,
but the Federal officials, in their argu-
ment, maintained that the merchandise
was used chiefly Tor dresses and dress
trimmings, and that the duty of so per
cent. levied by the government was prop
err. Meyer & Dickinson were nominally
the plaintiffs, but there were hundreds Of
big importing firms throughout the coun-
try who were interested in the outcome of
the suit, and who were instrumental in
procuring the best obtainable counsel.
