The supreme courts decision In the

not affect things al all. The school

The raising Of checks IS a common
method of swinGllng in all parts OF the
country. The recent decision of the
New York court OF appeals in a case Of
this kind therefore has general inter
est. The court neld that a depositor
must see hat the paid checks returned
TO him by the bank on which they
were drawn correspond with the check
book stubs in his possession else the
raised check must stand. This dec1s-
ion was handed down in a suit Of a
business house against the Chemical
bank. The depoSitoT was swindled by
q confidential cierk Of its own who
raised checks for a period Of W years
and appropriated h excess o the
amount for which the checks were
drawn. During this time the deposit
books of the concern were written up
twelve times and the raised checks re-
turned. A comt arison Of the checks
with the stubs would have exposed the
fraud that was going on, but its vic
tim failed to make this comparison

The Chattanooga Times makes the
following m on the anri-lynching
of CaldwelI county, y. C.:
1T would not he safe to say that Il
lynching cannot o. may not occur in
Caldwell county, or that no man In that
convention would participate in such
l%ynching. but it is SAFE to say that the
sentiment Of the resolution, which ac-
cords so forcibly With the advanced
thought and serious views OF Christen-
dom, is also approved by the vast ma
jority Of the rank and file OF democrats,
not only in Caldwell county, North Car
olina, but Of the entire south. We all
know how prone men are to express a
beautiful sentiment for the public ca
and yet who in private life do things In
direct opposition thereto, because the
have found that many ether men do the
same thing. But We believe that con-
slant iteration and reiseration OF senti-
ments like those embodied in the resolu-
ton will nave effect in fixing pubic
opinion so strongly against n moo
evil that eve bad men. as wei. as those
who are easiest i~nfiue1ced by impulse
and passion, will come 10 regard IL as a
dangerous thing 10 take the law into
their own hands. One influenced by
fear, men shortly begin 10 entertain a
very wholesome respect fer law and
public sentiment. For this reason, and
for another, namely tnat IL hasn't been
so very long since the adoption OF a res
oIution would ave been impossible, we
feel HI the southern people are to be
congratulated over the prospect for the
speedy and absolute reign o law and
order.

As q result or some trouble between

Company the factory has hut down
for a short while. Some days ago =
white man and a negro. both working
at the factory. mad a dispute over some
unimportant matter. Bad language
was ussd on both sides n finally the
matter came up for trial before a jus
tice of the peace. The trial. however.
did not quiet the disturbance and the
agitation OF the matter between h
whites and negroes has increased from
day TO day. Among the fifty hands
employed at the factory there are
only about five negroes and this morn
ing the white men sent a delegation 10
the business Office and demanded that
the negroes be discharged. This the
management refused TO do and every
white man in the factory walked u 1.
The superintendent claims that he is
no way responsible for the trouble be-
tween the negro and white man and
that the white men have nc right 10
demand h discharge OF the negroes
and he, therefore, refused 10 comply
with the request.
