RESALE OF THE FAYETTEVILLE
COTTON MILLS.

Under and by virtue of decree (the
former sale being set aside of the SUI
perior court of Cumberland County, N.
c., made at the May term, 1902 in the
Bank of Fayetteville V. Fayetteville Cot
ton Mills, ct ais the undersigned COM
missioners therein named, will offer for
sale at the market house in Fayetteville,
N. c., Tuesday July 22nd 1902, at IL
o'clock M, TO cash, the entie plant Of
the Fayetteville Cotton Mills.
These mills are located in and near the
city of Fayetteville. The factory con-
tains 3,100 spindles and is run by water
and steam power combined The plant
is located upon about thirty acres of
land and besides the mill and buildings
connected Herewith and superintendent
residence, there are eight tenement
houss all in good condition, and the
mill pond and race. The mill is equipped
with a steam plant, SO that it may be
run with either water or steam. The
product of the mill has always been first
class. In addition to the factory tract.
there will be sold at the same time about
179 acres of land, including what is
known as Mimms Mill Pond, located
about one-half mile above the factory,
but is separate and distinct tract of
land, which is not essential to the OPP
GRAFTON of the mill. The Mimms pond
tract adjoins the Ashly-Bailey Silk Mill
property, and lies on both sides of the
main line of the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road, just southeast of the city limits.
Fayetteville is a competing point, hav-
ing rail and water transportation, and
is in the midst of the cotton producing
section, all of which is of great adj
vantage in manufacturing. Thorough
inspection of the property is invited, and
correspondence from interested parties
will be promptly answered.
The purchaser will be required to
make deposit of $500 cash at the sale.

WAY co. From Guilford. No error.
Action for damages. Defendant offer
ed no evidence, but at the close of
plaintiffs evidence moved to non-suit
plaintiff. The court refused the motion
and submitted two issues to the jury:
/, Was plaintiff injured by negligence of
defendant? Yes. 2 What damage is he
entitled to recover. $4,000. The court
set aside the verdict on the first issue
on motion of defendant as being against
the weight of the evidence; but refused
to set aside the verdict on the second
issue; plaintiff excepted and appealed.
Held, no error. There is no evidence of
negligence. While setting aside the YER
diet on the first issue destroys the plain
tiff's right to any Judgment, yet it is
singular that the finding on the second
issue was allowed to stand.

Action begun before a justice of the
peace to recover small amount for
work and labor done by plaintiffs minor
children. Before the action was brought,
the defendant bought and took an as
signment of a store account due by
plaintiff to firm of which one of de-
PENDANTS officers was a member and
set the same up as a counter claim.
Plaintiff does not own $500 personal
property; Held, that the exemption is
not available before judgment, so as to
destroy the right of counter claim.
Homestead and personal property ex-
emptions can only be claimed by de-
PENDANT in an execution.
Held further, the purchaser of the
claim against plaintiff was not carry
ing on a business" not authorized by the
charter of defendant company and hence
was not ultra wires, and judgment should
have been entered in the court below
in favor of the defendant for the excess
of it's counterc claim.

WILLARD VS.. BANK, appellant. From
Durham. Error.
Plaintiff sued T. & Co. for breach of
contract. T. Co. are non-residents of
the State, but owned 80 bales of cotton
here, and plaintiff sued out an attach
ment and caused it to be levied on the
cotton. Defendant bank interviewed and
claimed the cotton. Then plaintiff COM
menced an action against the bank and
attached the cotton as the property of
the bank. Both cases being on the
docket, the defendant moved to dismiss
the action against it, which was re-
fused; and the plaintiff moved to con-
solidate the two actions, which was
granted. Defendant excepted and ap-
pealed.
Defendants motion to dismiss was on
the ground that the action was COM
menced by attachment and levy upon the
cotton alleged to be its property, and.
it being admitted that defendant is a
National bank. under the Act of Con-
gress no attachment can be brought
against it in a State court. Defendants
motion should have been allowed.
1t was also error to consolidate the
action. The case of Willard VS.. Tierney,

Indictment for peddling without license.
The special verdict found that defend
ant not having peddler's license Claws
1901, chapter 8, section 5D travelled
from house to house on foot exhibiting
samples of goods; that he took orders
for the goods and sent them to his prin-
cipal in Norfolk, Va, who shipped the
goods to defendant in Edenton, N. c.,
who, travelling around on foot, delivered
said goods, not using a wagon. cart or

ing the goods" Held, that under the

STATE, appellant, VS.. PEAK From
Polk. Reversed.
The indictment charged that defend
ant with force and arms at and in the
county aforesaid unlawfully, wilfully and
feloniously did commit an assault upon
Nj with intent her, the said NJ
unlawfully, wilfully and feloniously to
rape against the will of said NJ"
etc. After verdict of guilty the judg-
ment, was arrested on motion of de-
PENDANT because of the omission of the
word ',forcbly" in the Indictment; Held,
error The case goes back for judgment
to be pronounced.
1t is good bill for an assault and the
verdict is always imputed to the matter
correctly charged. But the court say
that the omission of the word ''forcibly''
in view of the context is not fatal to the
indictment, certainly not after verdict.
and that it is a good bill for assault with
intent to commit rape, both at common
law and by statute. State VS.. Ellsworth,
at this term. is an analogous case.
