SETTLED
County Attorney Loud Settles An
other Appeal Case at a Profit
to the County.

Stipulations were signed this
week by County Attorney Loud
and the attorneys Of Edward
Kaiser, formerly publisher of
the Pioneer, by which Mr.. Loud S
appeals from Mr.. Kaiser's bills
for printing during the past
year was dismissed.
The appealed bills amount to
S1641 and by the terms of the
settlement Mr.. Kaiser accepts,
with accrued interest, a discount
of little more than $500 from
this amount. The settlement
therefore makes a saving of
something over $500 to the cuun-
ty.
Mr.. Kaiser states to the Pho
neer that he feels that his claim
is an entirely just one and that
by resorting to the courts he can
)llect every dollar Of the
amount, but in view Of the fact
tlat it would cost $500 or more
to make the fight he considered
it better to compromise the claim.
The saving to the county effect
ed by County Attorney Loud in
this matter is but one of many
which he has been able to make
during his term of office. The
total will foot up to very nearly
$4,000. Mr.. Loud has forced the
saloon men OF Beaudette to dis
gorge $1,000 in liquor licenses
whereas they formerly operated
blind pigs. At Beaudette and
Nebish, also, Mr.. Loud has col
lected more than $3.50 in fines
from violatOrs of the license laws.
The settlement of the printing
contract saves the county $500
and over, the furniture contract
which was recently compromised
results in a total saving of 5000,
and stlpulallons have just been
signed by which the county saves
5000 on the contract for decorat-
ing the court house. In addition
there are various minor items
which will bring the total up to
nearly il not quite $4,000 Mr..
Loud has a right to feel very
proud of the record.

Man Who Bought Half In.
terest in Saloon Has
Nothing to Show.
CLAIMS TO BE PARTNER OF
THE LATE L. o. FISK
Estate of Latter Now in Probate
Court Deyelopes Several
Interesting Facts.

Unless he can produce positive
proof of his claim a Blackjack
man named Thompson, who says
that the week prior to the death
of the late L. O. Fisk, who was
we'll known in Bemidji, he bought
a half interest in his saloon bust
ness, he will lose what money he
expended in the transaction.
The estate Of Fisk is now in
the probate~court. 1t consists of
the island in Blackjack Lake, a
quarter section Of land in the
Blackjack country, another in
the Big Fork region, his saloon
business, an interest in a saw
mill, lots in the TOWNSHIP of Big
Falls and other minor interests.
Dick Gunderson has been APP
pointed special administrator Of
the estate. So far as is known
Fisk had no relatives in this
country. He was not a careful
business man and his death com
ing suddenly as it did has left
his affairs in a bad condition.
1t is estimated that the estate
will amount to about $1,000 when
all the interests that it repre-
.sents are gotten together. The
matter of looking up the heirs
has already been taken up. Fisk
was a Norwegian and the only
information as to relatives thatis
at hand is very meagre. A friend
says he has brothers and sisters
living near Tellemarken, Norway.
The probate court will take the
matter up with the nearest con
sui and go about the matter of
having them located at once.
Thompson, the Blackjack man,
who is at present running Fisk's
saloon, the "Old Glory" had
been employed at the, place for
some time. He states that the
week before Fisk's death he Sc
cured the half interest and that
the deal was completed. There
are no papers to show for this,
however, and this is another
question the probate court will
be called upon to unravel and
satisfactorily adjust.

The laces are of all sizes and
descriptions, from tiny exquis-

a great price. Mrs. Lillibridge,
though capable of producing
such beautiful work, is of re

woman. She wishes to dispose
of her work but hardly knows
how to go about it. An effort
will be made, however, to induce
her to secure a window in one of

to inspect them and purchase if
they desire.

Close Of Hunting Season Re-
news Activity at Cass
Lake Land Office.
MANY WISE ONES COMBINED
BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE
Visited Woods, Saw Conditions
That Obtained, Investigated
and Started Contests.

The hunting season just closed
has given a decided impetus to
the contest business at the Cass
Lake land Office and more con-
tests have been filed within the
past few days and are being be-
gun with land attorneys than for
some time.
Among those who came to hunt
were many who com bined bust
ness with pleasure. While they
we're IN the woods ostensibely to
hunt at the same time they We're
looking after land At least fifty
contests will result in Beltrami
courty alone as a result Of the
hunting season. The hunter has
a very good opportunity to see
what the homesteader and claim
owner does regarding comply
ing with tn requirements of the
law and not a few Of them are of
the business turn Of mind SO that
when they find homesteader
who is not living up to the re
quirelnents Of the law and has a
claim that is worth having they
Immediately commence a contest.
A number Of claims in this i'm
mediate vicinity are to be CON
tested, but the man who begins
the contests is hardly to be
blamed. There are in many cases
homesteaders who pay but slight
attention to tie requirements of
the law and instances have been
known where men have succeed
ed in making final proof and sell
ing the timber on their lands
who were no more entitled to re-
ceive title than a man who had
never. seen the property. At the
office of we'll known Bemidji
land attorney are a number of
photographs of the shacks Of
homes teaders in the northern
part of Beltrami and Itasca coun-
ties that will give a very good
idea Of how many of the claim
owners neglect the law. Some
are rootless, others without doors
and windows and still others in
state of dilapidation that is ridicu-
lous.
The land attorneys are we'll
pleased with the impetus which
the hunting season has given the
contest business and some very
interesting fights are promised

THE BEST SCHOOL BOOK.

found the way. He says:

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

The indications are that representative
business men from many towns and cities
will attend the meeting at Greensboro,
at l p. M, Tuesday. January 9Th, called
to devise ways and means to remedy the
discrimination in freight rates against
the towns and cities of North Carolina.
The discrimination in favor of L%ynchburg,
Roanoke, Atlanta, and other cities having
affected the business and manufacturing
interests Of the State, and threatens the
very life Of the jobbing business. Re-
ferring to the grievances, the Charlotte
News says:
"Charlotte has had an inning before
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
the local merchants are patiently await
ing results. There is no sound reason
for an increase; it is simply one result of
the criminal conspiracy of the railroads,
which exists in defiance of the law of
the land and it does seem that there
should be a way to reach the conspira-
tors"
The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and
Business Mems Association will be rep
resented at the meeting in Greensboro.
1t is a meeting Of interest, not alone to
the wholesale dealers and the manufac-
turers who are disseminated against in
favor of their Virginia competitors, but
course, foots the bills, Jones HI pays
the freight" The excessive freight rates
and the determinations are a burden
upon the industry of the whole people,
a tax greater than is imposed by the
State and county governments.

AN HISTORIC EVENT.

Bath in 1905. Bath is the oldest town
in the State, and lit occupies" says the

history OF North Carolina that James
town does 10 the State OF Virginia." At
Bath is to be seen in a good state OF
preservation the oldest church in the
State, built of bricl< brought from Eng
land. The Gazette adds:
1T was from this town hat the noto-
rious and celebrated Teach. or Black
Beard. sailed on his missions OF rapine
and murder, and it was TO this town that
Lieutenant Maynard brought his head
tied into the rigging of his ship after
he had met the notorious pirate off Ocra-
coke in deadly conflict and Stayed him
with his own hand. In fact there is
not an important event connected with
the early history OF North Carolina, in
which the town did not play a conspicu-
Gus part.
we suggest a mass meeting Of the
citizens of the county be called. TO meet
some day during the February term OF
the Superior court. to make the neces-
sary arrangements for the celebration and
10 petition the Legislature for a small
appropriation to aid the undertaking. 1t
is true the anniversary does not occur
until 1905. but If it Is to be a creditable
celebration it will take some time TO
perfect all the arrangements so it will be
a credit to Beaufort county and the
pride OF every citizen of the State"
The proper celebration of the anniver-
sary of our oldest town is a matter OF
deep historical interest to all North Caro-
lima. 1t would serve to awaken interest
in the early history of the State and
ought to be made a memorable event.

cigh, were established, the trustees OF
both institutions hardly gave serious
consideration to a North Carolinian for
the Presidency. What was the result?
States were chosen, they did faithful and
work, and won the esteem and
confidence Of the State, but their success
was not conspicuous. When they resign
ed, the trustees of each institution elect
ed a native North Carolinian to tie presi-
dency. One was called back home from
the pastoral relation without experience
in college work. What was the result?
Both institutions have more than doubled
the number of students, both have as
many as they can accommodate, and in
every way they have grown, expanded
and are Furnishing. Their new life and
progress are not alone due to their native
born presidents. or to their wise direc-
ton, but they are entitled to the greatest
credit for their wisdom and intelligent
zeal. They knew the temper of North
Carolina folks, they were themselves
tracy Of the SOIL; they We're in touch
with the States life, its hopes, its ira
ditions; they were moved by its preju-
dices, its ideals, its Inspirations; they
could gauge the forward and the retro
grade movements;-in a word they We're a
part Of the people they were trying to
lead in the educational life and they
know now best to serve the people and
the institutions of which they were called
Winston nor DIR. Vann was elected be-
cause he was born in North Carolina.
There are many gOod native born
scholars who would have failed where
they have succeeded. They were chosen
because of their fitness. A chief element
of their equipment is their knowledge OF
North Carolina and North Carolina folks,
a knowledge that must be intuitive and
that cannot be acquired.
Other things being equal, the college
or church in North Carolina that calls
a North Carolinian to it's highest service
is pursuing the wisest policy. "Other
things being equal mind you. No col
lege or church ought to be SO provincial
as to select a less competent man because
he was born in North Carolina, but he
ought not to be denied highest stations
because he is a product of the State. 1t
has often happened that men Of superior
residents of other States of less fitness.

linians shall have the preference in
church and in State.

NORTH CAROLYN SHOULD
HAVE THE PREFERENCE.

Referring to the fact that a certain i'm
portant pulpit of the Baptist church is
or soon will be vacant in North Caro-
lima, Charity and Children expresses the
hope that a North Carolinian will be
called to the pastorate, and adds, in sub
stance, that North Carolina people are
too prone to go to other States to obtain
men to fill it's important positions.
The criticism is we'll timed and wise.
There was much talk some year ago
about North Carolina for North Caro-
linians"-an insistence that none but ma
tive North Carolinians should be called
TO our chief colleges and churches. That
sentiment was too narrow and, Of course,
could not prevail. This State wishes i'm
migration Of men OF brains, of character,
Of Drawn, and it should not and will not
hold to any policy that would repel them.
Latterly, however, the pendulum has
swung too far the other way. Instead of
giving the preference to native born
North Carolinians or men who have done
their best work in North Carolina, there
seems to be a disposition to underrate
the ability and a~cceptability of home
men and to run after men who are un-
known to cur history and traditions-to
seek out new men with new names and
new faces.
We join with Charity and Children in
the hope that the certain pulpit now va
cant will be filled by a North Carolina
man. Recently when there was a va
cancy in the pastorate of the Durham
Baptist church, the congregation was
wise enough to extend a call to q popu-
lar and honored preacher in Virginia who
was born in Wake county, North Caro-
lima. He was glad to return to his old
mother State. There are many able
preachers and teachers, who were born
in North Carolina, who are living in 9TH
er States,-'the dispersed abroad
State, and who would gladly retur if
called to important labors. Our churches
and our colleges have too often proven
the truth that "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country by pass
ing by able and worthy men at home and
going into some far off State to secure
q preacher or professor less fitted than
home men. Why not let the New Year
resolution be to quit dePreciating home
talent?
When the Baptist Female University
and the A. and NJ. College, both in Raj
