With Theft of Horse.
Especial to News and Observer

Durham, N c.. Dec. 19.-Robert Pals
lev. the white man who was arrested,
charged with having entered the home
of John Hays, in East Durham, and rob-
bed it of twenty-five dollars, was re-
leased Wednesday morning. Mr.. Paisley
proved an alibi by witnesses summoned

Paul Wheeler has instituted suit
against Thomas H. Martin for damages
amounting to $2,250. The suit will be
docketed at the approaching term OF
court.
Mr. Wheeler claims that Mr.. Martin
made a proposition to him that he would
give him $3.50 for 20 feet of the land on
which portion of the latter's machine
shop now stands, and that in addition
he would give him two thousand dol
lars to move his shop. Mr.. Wheeler says
that he accepted the offer and tore down
his building Then he was notified by
Mr. Martin that he was not going to
hold up to then contract. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Martin will deny much
of the allegations to be in the complaint,
and that he will set up a further claim
that he has been damaged by Mr..
Wheeler, in that his insurance has been
too high.
There came near being a serious acct
dent at the Erwin Cotton Mills, West

COTTON CROPS AND PRICES.

1t is not the large cotton crops that
have brought the most money to the
South In 1889 the crop of 11,274, $40
bales brought only 1882, 2,9S7 in casH;
in 1S99-'00 the crop of 9,436,416 bales
brought $685., 784, $50; and in 190O-'01 crop
of 1883 GOO bales brought $4o4. 567 $40. An
increase from 1855 per bale one year
to $47.63 or 231s per cent. is worth some
thing
If the law and supply and demand had
prevailed this year, the farmers would
have received ten cents a pound for tins
years cotton crop instead of the less than
eight cents that most farmers have re-
ceived. Even with that price, the -
crop would have left the farmers in much
worse condition than last year because
it cost more to make the crop this year
than in any previous ten years.

ONE WILL HELP THE OTHER.

The friends of the inland waterway are
doubtless among the best friends of the
Roanoke Island celebration next summer,
for the celebration accidentally and in
cidentally is the very best thing that
could have been devised to call the at
tention of the whole United States to
the needs and advantages of the inland
waterway. The State is fortunate in
having such men as Senator Simmons
and Hon. John H. Small, both from East
ern North Carolina, to push these mat
ters together. They are both all impor-
tant, and the State Historical and Lit
erary Society was building wiser than
it knew when it proposed the celebra-
ton.
The ignorance about North Carolina
resources and natural advantages is as
dense as about her history.

MIR. TIPPETT'S HEIGHT.
The Question If He is Five Feet Seven
u PerpIexing One.

The height of Henry w. Tippett of Ana
costa is causing trouble to District off,
Gals A large batch of communications
and affidavts was laid before Commissioner
Macfarland this morning this subject.
with the final recommendation by r. w.
Dutton, chief engineer of the fire depart
ment that Tippett be directed to appear
before the officer of the police department
in charge Of such matters for measure
ment.
Tippett is an applicant for appointment
to a position in the fire department. He
was first examined by the board of police
and fire surgeons June 26 last The board
reported that he was one-fourth of an inch
below the required height-five feet seven
inches. When Mr.. Tippett was informed
of his rejection he applied for and was
granted re-examination July "a, but was
again rejected because he did not reach the
required height
examination DIR. Mayfield first measured
him and called out his height as five feet
seven and one-quarter inches. He was
then measured by DR.. Burch, he says, who
declared him to be five feet seven inches
in height. Nevertheless, he rejected
the second time on the ground of INSULT
cient height. He thereupon had two ply
sicians not connected with the board meas
ure him-Drs. r. A. Pyles and ]. A. Wat
son-and has filed their affidavits that they
found him to measure In height over five
feet seven inches, standing barefoot.
Chief Dutton states in his Endorsement
of the papers that IL Mr.. Tippett is of the
required height-tive feet seven inches-he
should be placed on the eligible list as hav-
ing passed the examination held June %.
He then recommends that the matter be
settled by the proper officer of the police
depa rfnent
