DUNLOP CASE DECIDED.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 15.-The Su-
preme court to-day decided the case of
Joseph III. Dunlop, of Chicago, charged
with sending obscene matter through the
mails. The verdict of the district court,
which was against Dunlap, was affirmed.
The opinion was delivered for the court by
Justice Brown, and there was no dissent.
Justice Brown said that the law had been
correctly construed in Mr.. Dunlop's case
and that no error had been committed in
the judgment. Dunlop is the publisher
Of the Chicago Dispatch, and the matter
sent through the mails and charged to
be obscene was published as advertising
matter in that paper. He was sentenced
to two years Imprisonment in the court
below, which sentence the action of the
Supreme court to-day has the effect of

The people are speaking in no uncertain
tones about the proposition to annul tho
90 year lease.
There are a few hundred men in the
State, who are friends of the x-C4overn-
or or the directors, who are opposed to
taking steps to annul. They are Iaboring
for endorsement" Outside of these,
the residents of towns enjoying special
privileges from the Southern Railway,
and the army of Southern lobbyists, there
are few advocates Of letting the lease
stand.
We have printed editorials advocating
the passage Of the amnulment bin from
many Of the leading papers in the State.
They show how the people stand. Below

additional rent to make a four months

Many Business Men Want the Lease
to Stand.

Greensboro, n. c., Feb 15.-(SpeciaD-
There is division of sentiment here. The
impression prevails that if the Southern

for the lease here among the business
men. Sentiment outside the city, 50 far as
heard from, favors annulment. If an
nulled people generally want the South
ern to have it. if they will pay as much.
