ERECTING MERIDIAN POSTS.
A Curious Old Map-A Town With
Neither Druggist Nor a Printer.

toiuuDlus N. 1't AplIl o.
j. =. Baylor, civil engineer in the EN-
ployment of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, acting in union with
the North Carolina Geological Survey. is
here erecting meridian posts at the
county seat. These posts have long
been a matter of absolute necessity, es-
pecially in determining the exact loca-
ton of the lines of some of the old land
grants. some of which date back to A.
ID. 1880. According to Wimble's Map
of the Province of North Carolina, en-
graved and published in 1888 Ga copy of
which, in good condition, is preserved
in Tyrrell county, the variation of the
compass at Hatteras In 1913 was four
degrees west, while at Wilmington, ac-
cording to the same map, it was only two
degrees, west Mr.. Baylor thinks the
discrepancy between the variation at
Hatteras and Wilmington, IS due to a
mistake of the map-maker.
Columbia is growing rapidly and there
is a scarcity of both carpenters and
lumber, there being not enough of either
to supply the demand for dwellings.
There is not a vacant house in town, ana
people are moving in still.

merly of Edenton, have moved their
stock of jewelry here and fitted up a
commodious jeweIry store. A drug
store and printing office are needed here.

thousand people easily accessible to Co

oleomargarine swindling

Dniry Commissioner Monson
continues to make further discov.
cries in his oleomargnrine tests.
4 few days since lie nscertainetl
that one of the samples secured in
Pueblo contained ilA per cent OF
parniline-n mineral wax which is
not only indigestible, but can not
be cut by nitric or sulphuric acids.
Two of the samples obtained in
Pueblo" snid Mr.. Monson, twill
be more thoroughly examined.
They nre soft and contain from 30
to 10 per cent wnter. The water
is in pockets and when l ran my
spoon into the package to get
samples for analysis the water ran
out in little streams. This is one
of the most outrageous brands l
have ever seen foisted upon the
public.
ut has come to my enrs that
oleomargarinc dealers nre endeav-
oring to regain the customers lost
through my efforts. l hear that
some Of them are notifying former
customers that if they again favor
them with their patronage they
will guarantee protection and pny
costs in case any legal trouble re-
Suits"
Mr.. Monson has not yet been
able to find evidence to convict the
perpetrators of the fraud on the
Rocky Ford Creamery. That
somebody procured Mr.. Babcock's
wrappers and put oleomargarine
in them is certain. This is not a
new trick with commission houses
handling butter. We trust that
before Mr.. Monson gives up the
investigation he will be able to
convict and punish the guilty par
ties. The placing of oleomarga-
rine in Rocky Ford Creamery
wrappers was an outrage which
should not go unpunished.

An Important Decision.

The supreme court has lately entered
a decision that affects farmers and their
tenants. The court has decided that:
"Where farm tenant delivers the
share of grain due his landlord to a
ware house keeper and the latter pays
him for the same without the knowl-
edge or consent of the landlord, such
ware house keeper is liable to the latter
for the value of the grain so sold and
delivered. g Under Section 1924. Harm
er's r. s., 1897, the landlord has lien
upon the crop raised on the leased
premises under the tenants contract
for the payment of rent, and the tenant
cannot divest the landlord of such lien
without his knowledge or consent. g.
Where the rent of q farm tenant is to be
'greln rent to be paid in separate kinds
of grain raised, the tenant cannot out
of one kind of grain pay the amount
due the landlord from the other grains
raised"

Robbed of Five Double Eagles.

Monday a garrulOus young fellow
came to Plymouth, from no one knows
where, and exhibited on several occa-
sions a neat roll of bills amounting, it is
supposed, to about hundred dollars
He hung around the cigar stores and
saloons and seemed particularly anxious
to invest the money, little caring how
or where. He was ready for betting
poker or playing the wheel. Toward
evening he appeared on the street with
fly looking female partner and seemed
to be enjoying himself hugely. The
lsst act, however had not been pre-.
sented, for before twelve o'clock he was
hunting the police, claiming to have
been robbed by the girl. A casual
search did not avail either he or the
officers in discovering her. She had
flown beyond recall. He too, left that
night and has not been heard from
since.
