. SUED FOR LIBEL.

Sometime about the last OF J une, the
Judicial convention for the Fourth DIS
trict was held in Rocky Mount. Judge
Jacob Battle, of Rocky Mount, and
Hon. Chas. NJ. Cooke, OF Louisburg.
were the candidates before the con-
vention for the nomination OF Judge
From certain interests OF Judge II. &.
COnnor, of Wilson, who is a candidate
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, it was decided quite a while be
lore the convention at Rocky Mount
that Wilson county should divide its
50 votes equally between Judge Battle
and Mr.. Cooke. and the agreement Was
made between Mr.. B. III. Bum, Of
Rocky Mount, Judge Battles manager,
aud Mr.. F. A. WoCdard, of Wilson,
Judge Corners manager. In the con-
yention the Wilson county people did
not divide their vote equally between
Judge Battle and Mr.. Cooke, as it was
understood they would, but cast Sc for
Cooke and for Battle.
This somewhat incensed the Rocky
Mount people, aud Mr.. J. E. Crutch
field, one of the editors Of The Spokes
.naD, laid severe structures on the &C.
ton 0! the Wilson people, and referred
to Mr.. Woodland in terms
which he (Woodard) cou-
strued as Ebellous. He sent to
Rocky Mount and had Mr.. Crutchfield
arrested, who gave bond in 81 900 when
only $500 was required, waived exami-
nation and let the case 60 to come up
at the September term OF Wilson coun-
ty court.
Feeling ran pretty high for some
days between the people OF Rocky
Mount and Wilson. All the lawyers
in Rocky Mount except Mayor Tborp,
Mr.. Woodard's partner, Joined In the
defense for Mr.. Crutch6eld. =
Friends OF the differing parties On
either side hope that the matter will
pass off and that the bitterness will
suicide and good feelings again pre-.
vail.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Charlotte News.
If Mr.. Edison, as he claims, has
found a storage battery, one that will
run a vehicle one hundred miles with
out rechar ging, there will be revoIu-
tlon in the electric car systems of the
country.
The battery under test consists Of
twenty-one cells and weighs 332
pounds. 1t was placed in an automo-
bile, the whole with two men in the
vehicle, weighing l,O75 pounds. Thus
equipped the machine made run on
one charge Of sixty-two miles oyer
country roads containing many grade s
and at the end OF the run the vehicle
was making SO per cent. of its original
sreed.
Another test was made on COM
raratively level road, but the road was
IN muddy condition and the vehicle
ran IS miles on one charge before
stopping.
When perfected for the use OF street
Carr, this invention will prove price
less boon to humanity, for it will be
the means OF doing away with the
overhead trolley and the attendant
mass of dangerous wires and insight
" poles. The trolley car system is
capable yet of many impro- ements.
