A remarkable case comes to light
at Elizabeth, w. Va. An old man
there by name of G. w. Roberts

hopeless until he used Electric Bit

completely. Now everybody who

BLOODY LAWS AGAINST ToRYIsM.
The General Assembly which met
at New Bern in April, 1777, was not
in a mood to deal lightly with those
who stood in the way of American
independence. The anti-Tory laws
were almost Draconian in their Sc
verify. every inhabitant of the
State owes and and shall pay allie
glance to the State of North Caro-
lima" The second section continues,
redundant words and phrases omit
ted: "And if any person residing
within this State X \ = shall
take a commission from the King of
Great Britain; or knowingly and will
lingly aid or assist any enemies at
open war against this State, or
against the United States of Ameri-
ca, by joining their armies, or by en-
listing or procuring or persuading
others to enlist for that purpose, or
by furnishing such enemies with
arms, ammunition, provision, or any
other article for their aid or com
fort, \ X = he shall be adiudged
guilty of high treason, and shall suf-
fer death without the benefit of cler-
gy, and his or her estate shall be for
feited to the State. Provided, that
the judge may appropriate so much
of the traitors estate as may appear
sufficient for the support of his or
her family"
By the third section of the act,
imprisonment during the war and
confscation of half his property is
prescribed as the punishment for any
person who "shall convey intelligence
to the enemies of this State, O + speak
publicly against our public defence,
or excite the people against the gov
eminent of this State, or persuade
them to return to a dependence on
the crown of Great Britain, or ma

person claiming the said reward, be-
fore he be allowed or paid the same,
shall produce to the Assembly the
scalp of every Indian so killed, and
make oath, or otherwise prove that
he was the person who killed, or was
present at the killing of the Indian
whose scalp shall be so produced:
and : : : as a further C
agement, shall also have and keep to
his or their own use or uses, all

of any enemy Indian or Indians, or
within twenty miles of any of the
Cherokee towns, or any Indian town
at war with any of his Majesty's sub
jects."
Two thousand pounds was appro-
priated for the purchase of Indian
scalps In the here indicated.
In 1913 it appeared that "divers
avaricious and ill-disposed persons"
had been defrauding and abusing the
Cherokees and stirring up much bad
feeling, and a law was passed MAX
ing it unlawful to trade with this
tribe of Indians without license or to
trespass on their grounds. The pen
atty for violation was a fine of 500
pounds; failing to pay this, says the
law, che shall st0Dd IN the pillory
two hours, and receive 80 lashes upon
his bare back, and shall stand COM
mitted to the gaol of the district IN
til such sums shall be completely dis
charged and paid"
The first law passed at the session
of 1885, held at Fayetteville, was one
providing defense against Indians
Gcr the citizt:ns of Davidson County,
frequent acts OF hostility rendering
it necessary that some measures be
taken for their protection" A COM
pany of POI men was to be raised and
to stay in service two years, unless
sooner disbanded by the Legislature.

County was in what is now Tonnes

TREATED.
And now let us consider some of
the Revolutionary and post-Revolu-
tionary laws regarding Tories. I'm
mediately after framing the Consti-
tuition, the Halifax Congress of
1915 adopted an ordinance requiring
all citizens to take the oath of allie

tutes Aimed at Royalism.
by Clarence b. Poe, Editor of The Progress
sive Farmer, in the Charlotte Observer
Let us next take up the laws re-
garding the Indians. Many of these,
of course, were obsolete when Judge
IredeIl made his collection of laws,
and are therefore excluded from the
book. It is very creditable to u
ancestors that the first Indian law
of special note is that on page 119
claws of 174S) can act for ascer-
tanning the bounds of a certain tract
of land formerly laid out by treaty
to the use of the Tuskerora Indians,
so long as they or any of them shall
occupy and live upon the same; and
to prevent any person or persons tax
ing up lands, or settling within the
said bounds, by pretence of any pur-
chase or purchases made, or that
shall be made, from the said In
dians"-"it being but just" as the
preamble says, shat the ancient in
habitants of this province shall have

country"
u-LEGIsLATIoN AFFECTING THE
INDIANS.
But the next law regarding In
dams, passed in 1850, is of very diff
ferent tenor. 1t was adopted near
the end of the great French and In
dian War which began In 1854 and
was not finally concluded by treaty
till 1763-the war in which Wolfe
and Braddock and Washington play
ed parts familiar to all readers of
history. I think that this act is of
sufficient Importance to justify the
full republication of the two most
striking sections:
TEN POUNDS EACH FOR INDIAN
SCALPs
"13. And for the greater encour-
agement of such persons as enlist
voluntarily to serve in the said COM
panies, and other inhabitants of this

authority aforesaid, that each of the

Book Publishing.

''I believe that there is going to be a complete change in the methods of pub fishing during the next few years" re- marked a New York publisher not long ago.
 Tn the old days there were two sea- sons each year for bringing out books the spring and the autumn. These suit ed the old conditions of the trade. when new books had a much longer life than they have now; but they do not suit pres ent conditions.
 "A popular book nowadays sells. as a rule, only during the year in which 1t Is published. After that time the book sellers refuse to touch 1t. Consequently. In order to make successful book, by which, of course, I mean novel the present day publishers chief stock in trade, it ought to be brought out early in the year. by the first days of spring at the latest. Then it Is announced as a spring publication and catches the usual spring sale; 1t may still be exploited as a new book for the summer season. and in the autumn 1t may be advertised again among the books of the year. For these reasons l believe that publishers will come more and more to regard the first months of the year as the only time for launching their new productions"

THAT STEEL INJUNCTION.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 The continuance of the injunction in the Steel case met general expectations. Fur ther expectation Is that the decision on appeal will be against the Steel Company unless some new position from a legal point of view can be established. The es- sential point of the Steel case is that the stockholders possess certain rights and that the enabling act of the legislature did not impair these rights. The plan of the company does not permit any stock holder to maintain his former position. Whether that position Is changed for the better or worse may be disputed.
 The position of the assenting stock rate of interest. if a better security The position of the on-assenting stockholder Is changed by putting a fixed charge ahead of his dividend. Very good lawyers insist that a stockholder In such a case cannot have his position changed against his will, except in case of necessity by foreclosure. He has a right tos tay as he was unless inducements are sufficient to make him wish to change. Reasoning from this. 1t was assumed that the intunc- ton would be continued and 1t Is believed in some circles at least that the ultimate decision will be against the company un- less stockholders prove in the end to be satisfied to have their positions changed
