JUDGE ALLEN AND THE OYSTER
CASES.

Wecheerfully yield spaeeto ex- Judge
Allen this week to explain his onnec
ton with the oyster cases. We trust
those who have read what we said in
March s and Is in this connection will
re read it and then read what the Judge
has to say. The Judge says the cases
were before the Superior Courts of
Pamlico twice, of Oarteret once, of
Wake once, and judgments twice
affirmed by the Supreme Court, &C.,
and 1.-The records will bear me out in
the statement that in neither instance
has any charge of fraud or illegal fees
been made in the answers fled" Then
he continues: "Would It not be fair,
if such charges are believed, to make
them when the cases are being investi-
gated, in order that they may be met
by the proofs"
Yea, verify. II we, or the State
Treasurer, had just known what was
going on before the whole trip through
the courts and the presenting of the
warrants, what we have since learned,
you would not have had such plain
sailing all the way through SO many
courts. From the testimony on file in
the Treasury Department., it seems
that very few, comparatively, knew
what vas up, and they were looking
after their own interests more z~ealously
than after those of the State. Yee,
those numerous letters and afidavits"
have come to light since you finished
with the courts of Carteret, Pamlico
and Wake. That is why your trip was
so successfully run.
You say they may be true, and still
they do not affect our claim" Exam
inc the bills of cost made out in con
formity with the decision of the Su
preme Court and now on file in Supe
rior Court of Pamlico county. I think
you will find at least two hundred
cases in which no fee for service has
been charged by the sheriff because IN
these cases the summons were not
served"
Referring to the itemized bills
in the Auditors Office, we find costs
charged in 1O4 cases from Carteret
county; of these nine only not charging
sheriff's fee; 694 cases from Pamlico
county, and 10 of these only contain
no charge for sherif's fee.
To US ''12" does not look like sat
least 2OO." We find 1913 names against
whom costs of issuing warrants is
made, and III of these contain, also,
the charge for the sherif's free, while
only 81 do not contain it. Now this 81
is the whole number from both coun-
ties against whom the sheriff's fee does
not stand charged in the bills. Come
with us now, Judge Allen, and we will
show you afidavits on file in the Treas
ury Department from IS persons whose
names are in the bills, who swear the
was never served on them.
Then, see, here is a list of eight, whose
testify to the fact that they
were deadaWhen the law under which
the warrants claimed to have been
was passed. Now look here at
list of 81, against whose names no
sheriffs' fee stands charged, and you
will find in this list only two out of the
85 living and eight dead, or 90 in all, so
far. We could give the names, but we
lot the space. We can testify to
we saw. If neceaaarv
Now, Judge, you say: "We think
the claim is just"
Certainly. Who expected an attor-
ney to say other wise than that the
Of his client was JUST Especially

William Jennings Bryan has quit
talking silver for a few minutes and ia
talking war in 16 to I tones.
IE is probable that a hundred thou
sand cases could be made out against
the railroads of the State for issuing
free passes to that number of ''iniuen
tial" people during the past year. At
a thousand dollars each it would be an
expensive affair.
Chairman Caldwell, of the Railroad
Commission, after voting to restore the
old passenger rates, offered his Tesigna
ton to the Governor. We were sorry
to see Mr.. Caldwell flop" but if flop
ne must, he doubtless acted wisely in
resigning. Elsewhere in this issue we
give the Governors speech on this sub
ject
The Chatham Citizen and Thomas
vile News lead in advising their read
ers against the so called limbless cotton
which Ia advertised in the patent sheet
portion of those papers. The attempt
to humoug farmers with this variety
of cotton was thoroughly exposed in
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER many weeks
ago. aud no reliable editor can allow
the humOug to go unnoticed.
We notice that Senator Abel, of
johnson county, ia prominently
spoken of" for the next legislature. OF
course His vote defeated the bill to
reduce passenger fares not many moons
age IN the Senate, and it is quite nat
ural that the railroads should be boom
ing him They are picking out their
men IA every county. The people
ought have their eyes wide open about
this time.
We are sorry TO learn that Bro. J. T.
B Hoover, Secretary Treasurer State
Alliance, is in bed with an attack of
muscular rheumatism. His physician
say ne must stay in bed until a change
for the better occurs We hope for his
speedy recovery. In the meantime,
let the brethren sympathiEe with him
and not grow impatient if their letters
are not answered as soon as could be
wished for.

very much like they were when our

interest all and seem like a piece of
autobiography to many.
In Wake Superior Court last Friday
the cases of the Southern and Seaboard
Air Line Railroads for issing free
passes, were tried. Both roads were
fined 81 OOO each. This is the minimum
fine. iG will be remembered that The

with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus
| Morrill,. Morrill's Corner, for the past year
owing to her health, has SO far recovered
her strength that she has decided to re-

sion station at Shanghai, China.
Archie Brophy of Deering Center,
member of the Portland Light Infantry,
returned Friday forenoon on the hospltaI
train from Chickamauga. Prlvat>-
Brophy has been sick with malariai FEVER
but is now improving, although he is
still quite weak.
Mr. Herbert Donnell employed at Dres-
ser's livery stable at Woodfords was taken
suddenly i'll a few days ago. The doctors
say that he is suffering from appendicitis.
During the summer vacation of the
Woodfords Uniyersalist society the Off.
GERS of the Sunday school have been en-
gagged in having the library books re-
paired, and in many instances rebound.
The officers have also added nearly 100
new books to the library. The sessions
of the school will be resumed the first
Sunday in September.
Early Saturday forenoon a carriage
driven by young lady, accompanied by
an elderly lady, both said to be residents
on Forest avenue, near Oakdale and
the occupants thrown to the ground
The avenue is now in process of being
paved with granite blocks. A few days
ago the street at this point where the ac-
cident occurred was dug up to permit
the laying of drain pipe before granite
paving was pat in. Tho pipe was covered
with earth which was solidly packed
around the pipe, but owing to the severe
rain of Wednesday and Thursday the
ground at that point settled. The rocker
bolt of the carriage was broken off, and
as the forward wheels struck the depres-
sion in the street the carriage WAS sprung
from the forward wheels. The occupants
were thrown out and the elderly lady
received cut over the right eye.
Three carloads of cedar logs to be
us as electric light poles, arrived
Saturday at Westbrook Junction from
Lincoln Centre for the Cumberland Illu-
minating company.
The Woodfords Universalist society has
eken q novel way to raise money to
build church. Some time ago letters
were sent to friends of members of the
society and people of the same Genomina-
tion, asking the recipient to give ten
cents and send a copy of tbs letter to
two friends. The funds are being re-
ceive0 by Mrs. Charles Plummer Of
Woodfords. and quite good sum has
been realized thus far.
A new wash-way foe hose and wag-
ons has just been built at the quarters

ment.
The new hose house at Oakdale has
