National Committeeman Bowden, who is

This is a new phase Of the situation i'm
regard TO the two offices in the cities by

Committeeman Bowden endorse both
Nichols and Burroughs, it is more than
likely that they will go through. While
no report has been made by the sub-com-
mittee in the Wise-Young contest, ii is
the impression that Representative Young
will retain his seat. and I'm that event
there is no possible doubt about the ap-

fore Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 3.--A
case. the decision of which will affect
the laws of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Virginia, Georgia. Alabama, Ken
lucky. and other Southern States, was
argued before the United States Supreme
Court to-day.
In North Carolina and other States
there is what is known as the com
mercial fertilizer tax" imposed by the
State on fertilizer companies selling pro-
ducts In these States. 1t is claimed by
the State authorities that the tax is
imposed merely for inspection purposes,
but the companies claim that only one
fifth of the amount collected is really
necessary for such inspections.
The claim is made that no articles
sbipped from one State to another can
be taxed, except by the United States.
The State of North Carolina last year
collected between $4,000 and $4,000 by
this tax.
The case was argued twelve months
ago. before the Supreme Court. but the
court ordered "A re-argument before a full
bench.
The attorneys in the case are Colonel
John w. Hinsdale and Mr.. Thomas n.
Hill. for the fertilizer manufacturers,
and Messrs. r. II. Battle, f. II. Busbee.
and j. c. l.. Harris for the State of North
Carolina. Mr.. Hill opened the case to-
day. The attorneys for the State will
speak tomorrow and Colonel Hinsdale
will close the case for the complainants.

Captain Bohannon then appeared on the
scene, and but for his timely interven-
ton quite a row would have resulted.
The shooting case, which occurred while
the Alabama was in the waters OF Vir-
ginia. was thought to be in the jurisdc-
tion OF United States Commissioner Ro-
gers, and the entire party adjourned TO
his office. but he declined to take action
in the case, as the party accused was
not one of the crew of the boat. He
contended that the case should be tried
before Virginia official. The party then
returned to the Central Police Station.
Tall declined to prosecute Merritt for
shooting him, and Battin also declined
to prosecute him for his intent to kill
him. The case YVES, therefore, dismissed.
