JOHN spRuNr HILL FOR CONGRESS.
Young North Carolinian Among the Tam
many Nominees.

Among the Congressional nominees
of Tammany Hall is John Sprunt Hill,
named to succeed William Astor Char
Ter, for the Fourteenth district, New
York City
Hill is a young North Carolinian and
popular in Raleigh and Chapel Hill,
having graduated from the University
of North Carolina in 1890. After grad
uating he taught school near his home
at Faison, n. c., and later removed to
New York, studied law at Columbia
University, was admitted to the New
York bar in 1894 and has practiced at
80 William street, New York City.
Mr.. Hill served in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war as a private in the cavalry
division and was orderly to General
Nelson A. Miles in the Porto Rican
campaign.
In November, 1899, he married Miss
Annie Watts, of Durham. He is q
Mason and member of the Reform
the Colonial and other New York
clubs.
Mr.. Hill is an Independent Democrat
and has never been allied with the
Tammany organization. His endorse
ment by Mr.. Croker at this time means
that he is the strongest candidate in
the district. and more likely than any
other man to hold for the party the
district so gallantly carried by Chan
Ter in '9S.
"Mr. Hills chances of election are
considered good, in New York" said
Mr.. Albert p. Massey, of New York
yesterday. "IIe is successful lawyer
a good politician and man of fine
character. Though not Il Ta4nmany
man. he has always been supporter
of Bryan. If elected he will make his
constituents an able and popular rep
resentative in Congress-

Aggregating the sum Of .'....$o ,4oo'oo
That prior to the institution of THIS
action the State demanded Of the county
the said sum of IS, 1865, but the demand
was not complied with.
Wherefore the State prays judgment
that it recover the $5436.55 with interest
thereon and the costs of this action.
THE COUNTY'S DEFENSE.
The answer to this complaint admits
that for the years named, 1888, the
county did collect large sums OF money
belonging to the State, but denies that the
county withheld any part of 1t except
the defendant County, admits that Whcn
the State tax account of the Sherin OF
Wake county for the year 1899 was set
lied in January, 1900, the States pro-
portionate part of the expenses for the
work of assessing and compiling the taxes
and making out the tax lists and the
necessary copies thereof was $731.69, and
the sheriff thereafter paid the amount
to the treasurer of Wake county and paid
the plaintiff the State tax due for the
year 1899, after deducting the $73169 paid
to the treasurer of Wake county"
1t is denied, therefore, that the county
is indebted to the plaintiff in the sum OF
S.. 1876 Go, or any other sum.
Further answering, the county contends
that the State ought not to maintain this
action because the claim is barred by
the statute of limitations, more than two
years having elapsed after maturity OF
the claim before it was presented fo1
payment, and that the cause Of actionV II
anv the State has, accrued more than
three years before the summons was
issued

COMPLAINT AND ANSWER
Means $4,000 Revenue Annually to
the State.
WAKE COUNTY DENIES STATES CLAIM
The Statute of Limitation is Plead on the Claim
For All the Years Except 1899, and
General Denial of Claim is
Entered as to That.

The suit brought by the State Treas
urer against the county of Wake, and
now pending in the Superior court
here, is of interest to every county in
the State and, if decided against the
State, will materially effect the reVe-
nues of the Commonwealth.
This action was brought last May, 1t
will be remembered, to recover the
sum of So, 1860, paid out by the coun-
ty for making out the tax lists and
deducted by the sheritfs in their set
Elements with the State.
Since 1898 the board of commission
ers for Wake county have authorized
the sheriffs in settling with the Audi
tor for State taxes, to deduct the en-
tire cost for making out taX-lists and
abstracts, which some years amounted
to more than 81 900 year. The State
Treasurer contends that under the law
the entire expense of executing the
tax levy and revenue acts IS on lhe
county. and no other county, he says,
has ever deducted anything on TINS
account.
The State Treasurer figures that
if the same ratio had been taken from
the State fund by all the counties Ioi
the same time as was taken by wake
the State fund would have lost IN tho
time the snug sum OF $107,lSo.2o. NO
other county has under this claim on
the State fund, or rather taken it from
the State fund, and every other couh-
ty stands as much entitled to IT as
does Wake. In other words the State
would lose about $4,000 a year
revenue if Wake countys policy were
generally adopted by the countles'
From this the Importance OF the
action to the State may be seen.
BASIS OF THE SUIT.
The complaint in this suit alleges as
follows: 49,
That during the years of 1898, '94, 49,
'96. 81. '9S and 1899, the county OF wake
levied and collected large sum OF money

cause of action within the equitable
jurisdiction of the court.
TO- Because the court declined to dis
miss the bill and allow the defendants
motion that the order appointing a tenn
porary receiver be vacated, and the suit
dismissed for want of equity and want of
jurisdiction.
H. Because the court declined to hold
that there was an absence of proper
necessary parties to the suit
H. Because the court declined to hold
that the complainants failed to show by

POSTAL NOTES.
star Route Mail Carried on Bicycle In
creases in Salary.

On account of county bridge that is
undergoing repairs, Carrier Foster, on
the Shotwell rural free delivery route,
was unable to make his route Thursday
and Friday.
The salary of Mr.. Robert L. Lumsden,
the mail clerk at Union depot, has been
increased from $500 to 5000 The in
crease was richly deserved The position
is a responsible and exacting one, and
Mr.. Lumsden has made most faithful
official.
The salary of Carrier Chas. H. Perry
of this city, has been increased from
$500 to $3.50.
The carrier on the star route from
here to Kadar no longer uses a horse,
except in very bad weather, in making
his route. He goes on bicycle with his
mail bags strapped on the bicycle in
front of him. This is the only bicycle
route in the country, Postmaster Bailey
thinks.

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Chronicle says
Mr.. Croker is just as earnest-and that
means the whole of Tammany-in his sup
port of the ticket as he was eight years
ago, when the present borough of Man
haitian yielded Grover Cleveland nearly
100000 majority. Charges were made
against the Tammany chieftain then that
he did not propose to support the ticket,
but the result of the balloting refuted
these. No such charge has been laid
against him in the present campaign, be-
cause it would appear ridiculous on its
face. He is gradually building up the
most perfect and practical and effective
organization that was ever formed in the
State of New York. Plat is thoroughly
afraid of it, He is beginning to fear it's

Hope the Rumor Is True.

A correspondent of the Mining
Journal states that it has been
rumorcd in Michigamme of late that
one Of the big mining corporations
doing business on the Marquette
range is figuring on buying the
Stewart and Spur properties in
Spur township. The Stewart was
never developed to any great extent,
although il is believed there is u
good deposit of ore there. Il. NJ.
Colwell, one of the pioneer settlers
of the Marquette range, had tho
property in hand and did some work
there over twenty years ago. With
capital and push behind it, there is
likelihood that the Stewart will
show up something good. ~

Chicago Capitalists Invest Heav-
lily in Upper Peninsula
Property.
TRANSFER AT CLEVELAND,
100000 Acres of Hardwood
Land Along the 6O-Mile Line
Included i'm the Deal.

A heavy transfer of property in
upper Michigan was quietly com
pleted in Cleveland Saturday, says
a dispatchGrom that city. Attor-
ney John Nj. Duffy, of Chicago, rep
resenting Chicago capitalists, pur-
chased all the interests Of q number
of well-known Cleveland and New
York parties, including Secretary Of
State Hay and others, in the NUNS
ing Land company and the Munising
Railway company. One hundred
thousand acres of hardwood lands
and sixty miles of railroad in opera
tion from hunising Bay to Little
Lake passed into Chicago hands by
the transfer. 1t is said over a mil
lion dollars were paid over. No
radical change either in policy or
management is expected.
The Munising railway is com
paratively new line, having been
completed only four years ago. 1t
was built to connect the then just
founded town Of Munising with the
outside world and open up fine
belt Of hardwood timber which was
tributary to the town. The belt
traversed by the road contains many
millions Of feet and is one of the
finest pieces of hardwood forest in
the whole upper country. The rail
road crosses the South Shore at
Munising Junction and has its ter
minus at Little Lake, on the North
western.

EVENT OF THE SEASON.
The odd Fellows Party Monday
Evening Is Thus Conceded.
western

notwithstanding the rain storm
Monday evening the ball given in
the Opera House, in this village,
under the auspices of L'Anse Lodge,
No. AS, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, was very largely attended,
and the unanimous opinion prevails
that it eclipsed any party of the
kind ever given in Baraga county.
The party was not given with the
object in view OF making money, as
the lodge is in an exceedingly
hourishing condition, but for the
purpose of social good time, and
that every person present enjoyed
such was plainly evident.
The ball room was neatly decor.
ated with flags CaHd red, white and
blue bunting. Across the front of
the stage was IA large banner dis
playing the word Welcome, and
in the center of the room suspended
from the ceiling were three large
links, with the letters IF. l.. T, y
in gilt.
Elaborate programs were pro-
vided, containing twenty-four num-
bers, besides '1extras. Each lady
was presented with large rose
upon entering the ball room, which
was a novel and happy surprise.
Prof. Crims orchestra, consist
ing OF five pieces, furnished music,
and Hormidas Chandler, of Pequam-
ing, otficiated as prompter.
Among the guests present were a
large number from Pequaming,
Baraga and the copper country.
At II o'clock an elaborate supper
was served in the dining room of
the hall. Upon each table was a
large vase filled with fragrant cut
flowers, and among the many
delicacies provided were fruits,
cakes, and Heppner celebrated
brick ice cream. The supper was
commented upon in highly hatter-
ing terms.
1t was after a. m. when the
guests departed. All unite in ex-
pressing an earnest desire that the
Odd Fellows will give an annual
party in the future.

four twenty dollar gold pieces Of the
date of 1850. Mr.. Begole is u di-

day recently when he was up there
they were deposited along with
enough others to make 81 800 The
depositor was a Catholic priest who
had been given the money by an old
woman on her death bed to hold in
trust. She had kept the money
buried ever since war time and was
supposed to be quite poor. She un-
doubtedly got the money when the
life of the republic was very seriously
threatened and when it looked as il
gold might prove to be the only
money Of value. The money was
probably bought at considerable
premium. Along with the gold
about 81 200 in currency was also
deposited.
The Sidnaw Record and "Klon-
dixie" buildings at Sidnaw were

the loss, exclusive Of the contents Of
the buildings, is about So, 900 with
no insurance.

There is an easy way OF cutting
glass bottles that housekeepers
should know about. Almost every
one has large bottles that when cut
may be used in many ways, as for
jelly tumblers, cans or even for
flowers with foliage. To do it tie a
wrapping cord two or three times
around the bottle a little below
where you want it cut. Saturate
the cord thoroughly with alcohol,
but do not let the liquor run down
the bottle. Then set it on fire and
when the blaze is almost gone out,
put few drops of water on the
cord and the glass will be cut of as
clean as IL diamond had been used.
