SECRETARY nJACk"
ON WATER DRINKING

There was one good joke on Score
tary Of the Territory Atkinson during
the visit of Prince Pu Lun. The roval
parsonage is not without sense of
humo- ard he used it often at the ex-
pense of Secretary Jack" The latter
found that the Prince was particularly
fond of repartee and the Secretary en-
tertained him hugely. But one time
the tables were turned sharply on the
Secretary
Il have not observed that your
Highness drinks water observed the
Secretary. rs it a. national custom to
refrain from its use as a drinkable? %
When the question was interpreted
to the Prince by Wong Kai Kah. the
heir to the Manchu throne looked sage
" at the Secretary and then made an
swer in Chinese which was interpreted
as follows:
We'll, drink it sornetimes--I like it
and that is why do not like Chinese
cooked foods for cannot drink water
with them. However. always accus-
tom myself to the habits of the coln-
try in which 1 am travelling. and I
kave not observed that your excel
1fcy has drank any water today"

NOT A PROPER APPOINTMENT.

Judge Purnell's appointment OF
Meares and McBee as Receiver took
the property of the State and individ-
uals out of the hands of the men who
paid for it and who own it and put
it in the hands of two men, one of
whom is under indictment for fell
ony, under a true bill found by the
grand jury of Wake county. Ought
man to be put in charge of property
worth $1,S00,000 who is charged with
a felony? The News and Observer
says no. and will ever criticize such an
appointment, no matter by whom
made. And in this opinion this paper
is merely voicing the conviction of
ninety-nine of every hundred men in
North Carolina. 1t has never before
been recorded in North Carolina that
man under indictment for a fell
only has been thought to be the prop
cr man to be chosen to act as receiver
for valuable property, calling for the
best qualities for it's exercise and no
man under indictment in the State
courts for a felony ought to be APP
pointed, pending the trial, to SO inn

CASE AGAINST SPENCER DROP
PED.
Receiving the Answer of the Defend
ant the Plaintiff Backs Water.

Especial to News and Observer
Salisbury, May 31.-Through their
attorneys an answer was filed on yes
terday to the complaint of ID. G. Eagle,
a merchant of Spencer, who brought
action to restrain the town from col
lecting it's taxes for 1903, in which
d. l.. Parker, tax collector, was made
the defendant on behalf OF the town.
The case was set for hearing before
Judge FurgusOn in Statesville TO-DAY,
but the announcement last night that
the plaintiff upon receiving copy OF
the affidavit of the de- endant, decided
to drop the case without going TO
court. caused quite Il surprise here
and at Spencer. The case had at
tracted much attention and able coun-
sci had been employed to fight the le-
gal battle which was expected 1t IS
learned that the allegations set forth
in the affidavits of the plaintiff are
in the main denied by the defendants
answer. In the answer it is contend
ed that the plaintiff does not even own
any real estate in the town of Spen-
Ger which was subject to taxation in
1903 as alleged that the defendant
has never attempted to collect tax
from said plaintiff threatening to levy,
as claimed, and that the sum of fifty
cents is all that the plaintiff owes the
could not result in great loss and ir-
reparable damage to said plaintiff, as
alleged. The defendant further al
leges that the present tax levy IN
the town of Spencer is legal both as to
poll and property taxes and that there
IS nothing in the constitution of equa-
ton to prevent the collection OF the
So me as claimed by the plaintiff. That
il a permanent injunction is granted
the whole community must necessarily
suffer and the town schools be discon-
tinued for want of funds, and that
the town is growing so rapidly that an
injunction would result in the most
disastrous consequences. The defend
ant asked that the case be dismissed
at the cost of the plaintiff, which was
so unexpectedly done yesterday. The
answer to the complaint is signed by
r S. Carlton, Col. Jno. S. Henderson,
r. Lee Wright and Walter Murphy,
attorneys for the town. The plain
tiffs attorneys were Jno. l.. Rendle-
man and r. G. Linn, of Salisbury.
