that these allegations are untrue, tnat
his premises are we'll paled in, that
he had been annoyed by attempts at

When the hearing was begun before
Judge Moore this morning, Frank
Carter, for the defense, took the posi-
ton that the commitment by the cor
oncr was irregular that the verdict of
the coroner's jury did not warrant the
coroner in committing the defendant
to Jail. Judge Moore, however, held
that the commitment was regular and
the burden of Introducing and exam
lining witnesses WAS held to rest with
the defense. The private prosecution
was represented by Col Lusk and
Judge Thomas A. Jones. The opinion
is expressed that it is very question
able whether Stevens will be admitted

again placed in jail. Stevens has made
good money in real estate and timber

HONOR TO WHITE OAK.
First Township in Wake County Out
side Raleigh 10 Vote Special Local
Tex for Schools.

To White Oak Township, District
No. 2, belongs the honor of voting the
first lOca! tax for school purposes in
Wake County. outside of Raleigh.
Yesterday this district, commonly
known as the jerks school, put itself
ON record as earnestly in favor of
free public schools.
For q while it was thought that the
voting would be close, but early in the
morning the voters "for special tax
took the, lead and the results of the
election were no longer uncertain. So
great was the interest that one gen
tlcman, over eighty years Of age and
very infirm wished to be carried to
the polls to place his ballot for the
betterment of the schools in his COM
munity and the upbuilding of his
grandchildren and the children of his
neighbors He wished them to have
a bettcr chance in life than he him
self had. UnseIfshness was the key
note to the sentiments of his heart.
This sacrifice and exposure to SO
raw q day, however, was not required
OF the aged Mr. Kinston jerks as the
ticket for "for special tax had a
good majority without his vote.
II is to be hoped that many other
districts will follow the example Of
the Jenk'u school.

Winston Salem, n. c., Dec. ID
Dose the American Tobacco Company

manufacturing plant at Wilson,"
This question was prOpounded to
President r. C. Briggs, of the Wells
Whitehead Company, this afternoon
by the counsel for the plaintiff in
the $4,000 damage suit, instituted by
the Winston Cigarette Machine Com
pany against the Wilson concern, now
being heard in Forsyth Superior court.
Mr. Briggs admitted that he had had
negotiations with representatives of
the American Tobacco Company and
said that a controlling interest in the
business was sold to w. NJ. Carter.
but he did not know for whom Mr..
Carter bought it. Mr Briggs said he
was president Of the Wells Whitehead
Company and when asked if he did not
make daily or weekly reports to the
American Tobacco Company, he re-
piled that he did not, that if such
were done it would be the duty of
the secretary of the Wilson company.
The plaintiffs asked for damages for
failure on the part of the Wells White
head Company to exhibit and operate

phasis, and in characteristic fashion.
''On the question of third termers

ment was that two terms are enough

would be in unusual cases, where the
removal of an official would result
in the impairment of the public SER
vice. Fourth-class postmasters were
alone excepted as a class The
Presidents statement, which was wit
messed by twenty-five persons, gives
absolute reputation to the story that
postmasters are to be continuer in
service so long as they give satisfac-
ton. Chairman Cortelyou, further
more, reiterated what the President
said. The result will be that Repub-
licans, who are ambitious and inde-
pendent will declare themselves for
