ORDER FROM PUBLISHERS.
II no Book Depository is Near Write For the
Books

The following circular has been issued
by the State Superintendent of Schools
to the county superintendent in rela-
ton to the method of obtaining books
for the public schools:
Many complaints are being made
that repositories have not yet been es-
tablished conveniently for the people to
get books, it is therefore deemed proper
that you call attention to the Text-Bo
Law on this matter, and inform the pa
irons of public schools that whenever
publishers do not supply books by con-
venlent repositories, they can order
them directly from the publishers and
get the books delivered to them at the
same price they could from a depository
The law says: Parties living in the
county where no agency has been estab-
llshed or no arrangements made for
distribution, may order the same from
one of the contractors (publishers), and
it shall be the duty of the contractor, or
contractors, to deliver any book or
books, SO ordered to the person ordering
to his postoffice address, freight, express,
postage, or other charges prepaid. at
the retail contract price; provided, the
price of the book, or books, so ordered
shall be paid in advance. All books
shall be sold to the consumer at the re-
tail contract price

Mr.. Settle Dockery, Of Rockingham,
was in the city yesterday. He said there
were large number Of candidates for
the Congressional nominationains bis dis
trict. Asked if Richmond county would
have a candidate for the nomination, he
said:
1--WE think it rather early for candi-
dates to be coming out but at the proper
time we'll probably have one, and we
think it is due us that he be nominated.
Scotland county has the Judge, of whom
we are proud: Arson county gives us an
excellent solicitor. Richmond feels that
she deserves some recognition and it is
very likely that she will present the
name of Mr.. Cameron Morrison"

A HEAVY PENALTY SUIT.
1t Was Brought Against an Ex-Register Of
Deeds.

A heavy penalty suit has this week
been compromised in Northampton cOun-
ty. 1t was. for penalties amounting to
S22, 800 and it was settled for 81 900 and
costs.
1t was case in which one E. J. PEBBLES,
of Jackson, sued e. e. Roberts, ex-regi.s-
ter of deeds, for penalties for failure &c
record marriage licenses, within the ten
days prescribed by law.
The law provides that if the license is
not recorded within ten days the register
of deeds shall be liable to penalty nj
$500 for each and every failure to be
recovered by any person who may sue
for the same.
1t seems that it has been custom in
Northampton for the register to record
deeds, mortgages and like papers before
entering marriage licenses on the records
after they were returnd by the ministers
or the parties officiating at marriages,
and PEBBLES found enough failures to
record to run the penalties up to s22,SOO.
They had been recorded, but not within
the time prescribed by law.

the city police, was drawing attraction
on Fayetteville street yesterday after
noon.
The negro was Charlie LOckhart who
was in the jug for the larceny Of. four
gallons of whiskey from Mr.. L. N. White,
on Wilmington street. He was arrested
yesterday morning and in the afternoon
led the way to place on the "Bowery'
where he had concealed the juice.
The return march to the lock up with

LOWERED RATE FOR FLAGLER
Rates Raised But Lowered Again Whom Hotel
Man Entered Protest.

The Southern Tariff Association of At
lanta has recently had an interesting ex-
perience with Millionaire Flagler.
Mr.. Flagler has been carrying for years
hundreds of thousands Of dollars insur-
ance on his Florida hotels. Some months
ago his rates were raised by the tariff
association to per cent. He demurred at
this and said that his property was so
well protected that he would not pay this
rate, preferring rather to carry his own
insurance. No action toward reducing his
rate was taken by the association and IN
June he began to drop his insurance, his
premiums being 5000 year.
In short time he dropped $4,000 in pre-
miums and the agent placing the business
wrote despairing letters to Atlanta ask
ing for the rate concession.
The association recently decided to give
Mr.. Flagler The concession he asked, and
he is now carrying insurance once more.

Political Case Compromised.

The suit of r. B. Lineberry VS.. w. E.
Brooks for the office of register of deeds
of Chatham county has been settled ami
cably, it is stated. The plaintiff takes
non-suit, each party paying his own
costs and the defendant paying to the
plaintiff about one third of the estimated
fees of the office. This compromise was
made, says the Record, because of the ex-
pense which trial would have involved,
amounting probably to $1,000 or more,
and because Of the great inconvenience
to which it would have put SO many wit
nesses. About 800 witnesses would have
been. examined and the trial would have
been very tedious
