Wesley Will Gain the
Possession.
THE STATE WILT MOP AT.
PEMPT TO MAKE A
FURTHER FIGHT.

The State will take no further
steps in the famous agricultural hsil
case. The lsst card has been play ed
and the game won by Mr. W. Fl
Lyles. attorney for Mr.. E. B. Wes
ley
Attorney General Barber made a
hard sght to save the building for the
State. and repeatedly kept the plain
tiiffis ont of possession, when it,seemed
impossible to do 80, but the fight for
time had to come to an end. and it has
Yesterday it was announced that the
State authorities woald obey the man
date Of the court as soon as it reached
the city and was served upon them.
This means that Attorney Lyles'
client will have possession of the
building and collect the amount due
for rental of the property since it
has been used by the State for the
purposes of the dispensary.
The only matter which now re-
mains to be settled between the par
ties is the agreement on suitable
sum for the rent Of the building.
Both Attorney General Barber and
Mr Lyles admit that suitable terms
are now trying to be made As yet.
however, no definite sum has been
agreed upon. though it is stated on
good authority that about $l75is the
rent per month which will be
paid By the dispensary for the use of
the building
The mandate Of the court is ex
pected to reach the city in the course
of three or four days. and when it
does the dispensary authorities will
become the tenants of Mr. Wesley
The next move in the case will
probably be TO bring about proceed
ings in which the validity of Blue
Ridge script will be the direct issue
before the court, in order that de
cision as to that point may be had
The fight in respect to this is likely
10 be.hard and stubborn, and will like.
II be watched with keenest interest by
the people throughout the State. In
case decision in this question shall
go against the State, it will have TO
pay large sum, while the winning
Of it will mean much to Mr Wesley.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is really
60 trick about it. Anybody can try 1t who
has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure
himself right away by taking Electric Bitters.
This medicine tones up the whole system, acts
as s,imulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier aud nerve tonic. I, cures Con.
stipation, Headache, Painting Spells, Sleep
lessness aud Melancholy. 1t is purely vege.
table, mild laxative, and restores the system
t" its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are miracle worker.
