letter from Belair dated June 9Th says: 1.-The
and Edward Steuart, removed from Baltimore
county, was terminated today by verdict in
favor of the defendant. 1t was a suit for al
legged false arrest aud imprisonment. The
cause alleged for damage was that Mr. Burke,
who is Deputy Sheriff of Baltimore county,
arrested the plaintiff on the charge of felonious
assault without having warrant. The pris-
oner stayed in Jail for some time, but after
ward was released, as it was found he had
nothing to do with the crime. Judge Waters
granted prayer, which is a precedent for Off
GERS. He decided that the officer had the right
to make an arrest for felony without a war
soon as it could be obtained from magistrate"

A SOURCE OF WEALTH.

The Tarboro Southerner notes that DIR.
L. l.. Station has received several thou
sand young black bass from the United
States Fish Commission, which he has
placed in his mill pond at Shiloh. The
Southerner says:
"The United States Fish Commission
will furnish young fish suitable to our
waters without cost to those who ask for
them, if any of the hatch is on hand.
1.-THE black bass is a native, so to
speak, of our waters, is a most excellent
food fish and the -amest in the entire
perch family
Every farmer in the State, who is
favorably situated, ought to have fish
pond and stock it with black bass. 1t is
as fine food as any one could wish, af-
fording delicious fresh fish whenever de-
sired, giving variety to the table, and the
best of brain food. The people of this
State, outside of the extreme East, have
never appreciated the wealth that would
come in the propagation of fish in the
private ponds. 1t ought to be a great
source of wealth

THE CORRECT POSITION.

The Corporation Commission is no
respector of persons in respect to the
income tax 1t does not believe that the
Constitution created judges privileged
non-tax paying class. 1t will, therefore,
proceed to list the taxes of judges just
as if they were ordinary folks hedged
in by no divine right or special priv
ilege. Those who wish privileged
class will not approve the action of the
Commission, but all others will say well
done"
The sum involved is small. The prin-
ciple is one of far preaching importance
The opinion of the Attorney General is
entitled to the weight only of one able
lawyer. 1t has no binding effect upon any
body, and the judges must pay their in
come taxes like ordinary mortals. or
they must themselves declare the law
that taxes them is unconstitutional.

A Despoiler Abroad.
(Tarboro Southerner.)

The authorities are on the lookout for
a man who yesterday went to the house
of C. l.. Long ostensibly to sell spec
tacles to his wife, but while doing so at
tempted to assault her.
When he first seized her she broke
away and ran out of the house. The
scoundrel gave pursuit, caught her and
dragged her back into the house. Her
screamcs and struggles caused him to de-
sist. Mrs. Long had called at the top of
her voice for her husband and asserted
so positively that he was coming that
the man left in his buggy.
The fellow is young, with reddish
face and small moustach. He drove a
top buggy and gray horse with a
white spot in it's forehead.
He is said to have stopped at the
Griffin House, Rocky Mount, the night
before, but what name he registered I'M
der could not be learned
He went to other houses that day, and
at one, where ne sold pair of spectacles
he said he was coming to Tarboro, bun
thus far he has not been seen.

NATIONAL PURE FOOD LAW.

During the past ten or more years
there have been number of pure food
bills before Congress, some of them
having several times passed one of the
Houses of Congress, but never both at
the same session. On the 18th inst
what is known a sthe Hepburn Pure
Food Bill' regulating the manufacture,
transportation and sale of food products
passed the House of Representatives and
now goes to the Senate, with what
seems a fair prospect of passage in its
present or d modified form. There has
been and is now great need of a national
pure food law to supplement and assist
the States which have such laws, in ac-
complishing the object for which they
were intended. IN most cases it is not
turers outside of their borders and it is
generally with such that most trouble is
had. The main differences of opinion at
present among those interested in the
passage of pure food law is the method
of administering it's provisions, some
contending that it should be carried out
in connection with the Bureau of Chem
istry in the Department Of Agriculture,
and others that there should be a Food
Commissioner at the head of Pure Food
Bureau in the Department of Justice, and
still others that it should be a part of
the proposed new Department of Com
MERGE 1t would seem that the Agricul-
tural Department is most closely related
TO and in touch with the production and
preparation OF human foods, and that a
law relating to them would find it's
natural home in the present most excel
lently conducted Department of Agricul-
ture.
There can be no doubt of the growing
need of law relating to food products,
and it is to be hoped that wise plan
will be settled upon and such a law pass
cd at an early date.

A MORNING TONIC.

o, little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all thy years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wandering love;
o morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth
How silently, fhow silently,
The wondrous gift is given.
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessing Of his heaven;
No ear may hear His coming.
But in this world of sin.
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in.
holy child OF Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today,
We hear the Christmas angels
The great, glad tidings tell
o, come to us. abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel
