1t did not take the justices Of our
supreme court long to decide that
Judge Ward acted legally when he i'm
prisoned and fined McCown for con
tempt, but it seems TO take them some
time to give the reasoning by which
they came to that conclusion. The
publication of the opinion in that casa
is awaited by the members Of the legal
profession with much interest. This
was one Of the most important and
f~ar-reaching decisions that has been
made in this state in a long time,
wherein the rights of person are con-
cerned. This will form one Of the !ead-
ing cases On the question involved. For
that reason, We suppose, more than
ordinary pains will be taken in the
preparation Of the opinion of the court
and Of the justice who, while assent
ing to the finding of the majority OF
the court, reaches that conclusion by
different reasoning and bases the lie
gality Of Judge Wards action ON the
state statutes and not on the common
law rights and overs of the court.
The public generally will not care
so much by what reasoning the con
clusion is reached. What it is most
interested in is the fact that under
the laws of this state such conduct rs
that of McCown's is contempt Of court,
punishable by fine and imprisonment.
If the newspaper reports of the de-
cision of the court are correct it is a
law which cannot be amended or re-
pealed by a legislative act. 1t will
take an amendment of the state con-
s%titution to change this law, or an over
ruling of the supreme court decision
in the McCown case by that court at
some subsequent period. The court
would hardly do this unless it was
made very plain that the members OF
the present court had mistaken Ihe
law in the case.

weekley Cotton Crop Report.

Washington, September 19.--The
weekly summary of crop conditions is
sued by the weather bureau today,
says:
While a slight improvement in the
condition of cotton is reported from
Oklahoma and Indian Territories and
portions of Louisiana and northern
Texas, the crop as a whole over most
OF the belt has experienced little or
no change, with a tendency toward
deterioration. Premature opening Is
extensively reported in the eastern and
western districts but only a few CON-
plants Of this character are received
from the central portion.
Boil weevils are increasing in Texas
and are causing injury in western
Louisiana. A poor top crop is prom
ised. Picking is advancing rapidly and
is nearing completion in some fields
in southern Georgia.

Great Scot. What stuff that Ra-
leigh ~dispensary hands u to- its pa
irons! From the News and Observers
account of the investigation by the al
dermanic committee of the charges
brought against the ~dispensary man
agement we take this:
In the charges of lack Of cIeanli-
ness in bottling whiskey he men who
swOre to their own drunken habits
swore that in some instances they
had found straw. trash or. flies in
their "ticklers' while one swore that
he had purchased whiskey at least
once a day for a year and had never
made a purchase out that there was
a fly! One witness testified that he
saw a negro after drinking from a
Whiakey bottle spit out glass. and
another that he had bought a pint
of sherry wine and hat there was
an inch of flies in the bottom. This last
testimony was explained by Captain
Heilig. who made the sale. who said
hat the only way he supposed this
could have occurred was that as the
wine was fermenting or the shelf
the cork flew out and was put back
by some one after flies had gotten in
to it: that in bottling the room was
protected by screen doors. hat all the
bottles were carefully washed. hat q
fan was kept running above the place
OF bottling. He had expressed re-
gret at the occurrence and made the
exchange.

DIED EROM SUCKING MATCHES
Peculiar and sad Death Of u Six
Months Old Baby-EaiIure of the
Firm OF George b. Edwards & Co.
Especial to The MesSenger.)

NSpSSIOA " Ii AuSSSOhSNl.D
Goldsboro, N. c., September 2O.-The
six months old baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Beck met with a rather peculiar
death this morning at 4 o'clock. Yes
terday afternoon the baby was given a
box of matches to play with, and was
not noticed by its mother until it had
opened the box and had several of the
matches IN its mouth. In a short while
the infant began to grow i'll and con
tinued to get worse until death re-
lieved 1t at 4 o'clock this morning. The
physician in attendance said that the
child sucked the poison off the
matches down its throat, and literally
burned its stomach out. Contrary to all
expectation the child did not have CON
vulsiOns, but went to sleep and breath
ed its last very peacefully.
The firm of George B. Edwards and
Company, doing a merchant tailoring
business, and selling gents furnishing
goods. made al assignment this morn
ing to Mr.. H. c.. Smith, boOkkeeper IN
the National Bank, and cashier of the
Savings and Trust Company. The liza
bilities will o up S., 1000 or more and
the assets will come something near
that amount. Poor business is pu;
down as the cause of the failure. The
announcement made as surprise to he
business circles of the city. The mem.
bers Of the firm are young and popu-
lar ana were thought to be doing a
paying business. This is the first fail
ure Of an established business house
in Goldsboro for several years.
The Goldsboro Merchants Associa.
ton have taken up the question OF
providing a suitable place for the re-
ceptioL and comfort of visitors srom
the surrounding towns and country
who come to the city TO spend the day
in shopping. A committee of five has
been appointed TO either have erected
or purchase some building where 10.
dies especially can go to make thei:
toilet, eat their dinner that they brina
, with them, and take care of their chill.
dren. 1t is calculated that visitors tt
the city will greatly appreciate such
convenience and will cause many tt
come TO the city who might possibly
otherwise stay away. BY providing
| for their comforts whilethey are in oul
| midst it will show visitors that III,
people of Goldsboro appreciate theil
visits.

A. J. DreXell, of Philadelphia, is go
ing to give up his American citizenship
and move to Great Britain where he
will become a subject Of King Edward,
1t is not stated what has caused him
to take this step. William Waldorf
Astor, who did the same took that
means to show his disgust at being
defeated for the nomination as a can
didate for congress. The United States
has gotten along very well without
him; and, we reckon, can do as well
without Mr.. Drexell as with him.
When a man gets too big for his
country it is best for both that he gets

Troubles are brewing over at Vivian, where strike has been declared by the union miners. We are unacquaint. ed with the causes leading up to the troubles, but hope there will be an am- icable settlement. A few years ago Yavapai county passed through a siege of strikes and contentious between miners and mine operators which re- suited in closing down many of the properties under development. A tie up of the mines of the Blue Ridge range would be deplorable at this time, as the mining com panies are just get. ting fairly under way and will soon be employing hundreds of men. Let the honest working miners and the con. servative mine operators get together and cut out the walking delegate and agitator and we are sure there will be no troubles in the district.
