Judge Purnell Says His Opinion Has
Not Been Given Out.
The opinion of the Circuit court in
the Cane Fear and Yadkin Valley
Railway case has not yet been handed
down. A State paper a day or two
ago printed the following special from
Raleigh:
Judge Purnel last Friday morning
sent his opinion in the matter of the
sale of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Van
ley Railway TO the United States Cir
cult court of Appeals. 1t orders a dual
sale of the road. 1t is not a reversal OF
the opinion of Judge Simonton, but II
modification. II orders a sale as a whole
or in sections, in accordance with the
terms of the mortgage. 1t is said the
Baltimore bondholders will appeal to the
Supreme court of the United States"
A reporter for this paper asked Judge
Purnell for a copy of his opinion. He
said that it could not be given out
until filed i'm the Circuit court at Rich
mond Asked as to the correctness of
the above special, Judge Purnell said:

CONFUSION.
EXAMINATIONS TO Be MORE DIFFICULT
This Win Cause Men 10 be Better Prepared
ards the Glasses Applying viii be
Smaller Only Those Intending to
Practice Applying.

Hereafter applicants for license to
practices law will be subjected to writ
ten examination. under the rule adopted
Mt this term.
This rule grows out of the protest
made by a member of the class recent
ly examined
1t was claimed by Percy Mcmillan,
of Perquimans county, that the supreme
court had made a mistake in not grant
ing him license to practice law. In sup
port of this claim he asserted positively
that he had answered every question
asked on the examination, and in this he
was corroborated by twenty-five Of hs
fellow class mates.
1t was believed that Mr. McAlullan's
name had become confused in the minds
of the court. with someone else's and so
an effort was made yesterday to have
the court reverse its action and grant
the license. The court refused to do this
hut passed the rule providing for written
examinations in future.
No doubt this will mean a much more
thorough and difficult examination
something that is badly needed in this
State at. this time.
1t will not only reduce the annual out
put of Young lawyers some % or 30 per
cent. but it will do much to elevate the
legal profession. both in character and
ability and in the estimation of the pub
lie.
The rule is thought by lawyers here
to be n good one.

The Governor Will Probably Give it TO
a Negro Woman Here.
There is some dispute as to who is en-
titled to the 500 reward for the capture
of James Booker, the negro now in jail
here for killing his sweetheart. Mehaley
White. 1t will be remembered that a
young negro boy from this city came
up with Booker in Baltimore, where
both of them were working. The boy
wrote back here and told his mother
about it. The mother went to a certain
justice of the peace here to get him to
answer the letter for her. This he did
but delayed mailing the letter until he
could write TO the chief of police at
Baltimore. The chief found the boy
and got such information as he desired,
arrested Booker and now the chief wants
the reward The boys mother has also
applied for it. The Governor, it is beliey-
ed, will decide in her favor.

A CARD.

To the Editor: In reply to Mr.. Hold
ing's card which appeared in the News
and Observer. yesterday. / will say that
in my remarks before the Board of Al
derman last Friday night / did not
criticize him or any one else. i made a
simple statement of facts as they APP
peared TO me, and frankly admitted that
/ did not know who was to be blamed
for the delay. / stated that about three
years ago the Board ordered the city
ordinances to be eodified, and that al
though the former city attorney had
been paid $3.50 extra, for this work, and
the printer, Mr.. Uzzell, had been paid
over 500 on account, for the same
work, yet the Board had been unable to
get the ordinances; that iC
was very essential for the
good government of the city. and the
proper conduct of the city officials, that
these ordinances be put in proper shape.
II said plainly that / did not intend
10 censure either the attorney, or the
printer, as / understood that Mr.. Hold.
ing said that he had indexed the work
as fast as the printer gave him copy
and the printer contended tn the con
trary.
/ then moved that the entire matte:
he referred to the present city attorney
for investigation, and that he report
to the board at It's next meeting all the
facts in the case, in order that the board
might see who was responsible for the
delay. 1t is very evident that some on
is responsible for this seemingly un
necessary delay, and | said nothing
which could be construed as the slight
est reflection on any one. as my only
object was to ascertain the facts anf
thereby learn who was the guilty party.
/ was very cautions in my remarks
not to criticize or censure either Mr.
Holding or the printer, and stated clear
ly that / was unable to say which one
had caused the trouble, and not desiring
to do either an injustice, hut being anx-
ious to secure the ordinances /. asked
that the whole matter be referred to the
city attorney for investigation. That
action was accordingly taken and the
matter is Of record in the minutes OF
orr last meeting as above stated.

Tom Settle, who has been here this
week, is pluming himself for another
fight Congressman. x
He was defeated in 1896, after serving
two terms, by Mr.. w. w. Kitchin. This
drllbbing will, if indications count for
anything, be repeated next campaign.

i. Il. Shepherd, at present chief clerk
in the office Of Recorder of Deeds
Cheatham in Washington. 1t is said
that short residence at the national
capital has so swelled the yonng doe
tors head that he imagines he is built
of Congressional timber, and he pro-
poses to exhibit the timber to his friends
and receive their. verdict whether his
own estimate of himself liz correct. So
like all modest candidates he announces
that he is sin the hands of his friends .
Young Settle had taste of Congress
sional life in the Fifty-fourth Congress.
and Though retired by Mr.. Kitchin in
the Ffty-fifth Congress still has as
pirations. He will contest with DIR.
Shepherd for the nomination and will
probably find no difficulty in wiping up
the earth with him. Mr.. Kitchin is a
candidate for reelection. He defeated
Mr.. Settle in 1896, by n vote of 1902
against 1869 for Settle and 507 for
Daily. Populist, which makes the dis
trict fair fighting ground between the
two parties. Though Mr.. Kitchin is
much stronger in the district now than
at the last election.
