Dear Colonel Morehead:
II am very much obliged to you for
the pamphlets which you are kind

Mr.. Benbow. 1 wish some of you North
descendants Of Daniel Defoe, h author
of Robinson Crusoe, who i've some
where in North Carolina.
Il think that the great Englishman
himself came over here. / think that
accounts for his very accurate knowl-
edge Of affairs in the southern states
shown in Captain Jack.
There is another thing which ought
to be locke for in some old store house
In Wilmington. Oliver Goldsmith, the
poet, meant to emigrate to North Caro-
lima. He packed his trunk and put it
on board the ship; the ship waited for
the tide. and while it waited Goldsmith
changed his mind, and never came to
America. But the trunk came and is
somewhere in Wilmington, unless Lord
CORVALLIS stole Goldsmith's shirts and
stockings. Some of our young people
ought to make a novel out of this. 1t
has a nue. larger foundation than most
historical novels have.
with great respect, dear sir, 1 { am,

decision was handed down yesterday by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals which says
that the camera of the American Mutoscope Com

patented by Thomas A Edison The court holds
that Mr. Ellison did not invent any new process of
the photographing of moving objects, but. rather
improved upon various previous inventions and
ideas, some of which dated back far as 1864.
Mr. Edison brought action against the Ameri-
can Mutoscope Company. declaring that the latter's
camera infringed his patent Of 1897 The
United States Circuit Court upheld the validity OF
Mr. Edisons patents, but the Court of Appeals finds
otherwise and dsmsses the bill with costs, and
holds that the cause of action is not sufficient
In the decision the Court of Appeals reviews the
history of the photography of moving objects 10

Marcy in 1882 and lie Prince in 1888 had either
patented published descriptions of processes of
photographic moving objects in scientific journals

was not pioneer in the moving picture photog-

upon which the royalties are based and that the
