IN AGAIN
After n Day of Freedom John Wat
sol is Again in the Tolls of the Law.

John Watson, who was arrested last
Wednesday for being drunk and down
and tried on the following day and re-
leased upon the payment of a fine Of
ten dollars and the cost, was arrested
again yesterday afternoon for a SINH
lar offense-being glQriously drunk,
John Watson's record during the Pc
Rod Of a week will run something on
the order of Solomon Grundy in Moth
er Goose's Rhymes. Arrested on Wed
nesday, tried ON Thursday, free on
Friday, gloriously drunk on Saturday,
in the lookup ON Sunday and
stands a good chance of going to the
roads on Monday and if the mayor
gives him thirty days he will proba-
bly, be making little rocks out of big
ones on Tuesday and such will be a
week in the life of John Watson.
John Watson has been on the coun-
ty roads in times gone by, but punish
ment seems to do him no good when
he wants to get drunk.

A suit entitled, the State Of North
Carolina and Commissioners of New
Hanover County VS.. Frank H. Stedman,
sheriff, was on yesterday Instituted
and will be carried to the state SUI
preme court to pass on an act passed
by the last general assembly which
made a considerable reduction in The
salary of several sherifs in this state.
The suit is a friendly one, but it was
the only means of deciding the point
under dispute.
The act passed by the last legisia-
ture provides that sheriffs shall receive
a commission of five per cent on the
first fifty thousand dollars of taxes
collected and on all collected above
this amount the commission shall be
2 IL per Ger
In n place there is an act to this
effect and in the machinery act there
is a clause which says that the sheriff
shall be credited with five per cent
commission.
Sheriff Stedman contends that by a
proper construction of the law that it
does not mean that he shall not re-
ceive five per cent. Another conten-
ton is that inasmuch as he was elected
under the former law allowing nve
per cent commission and began his
term while this law was in effect, that
the legislature had no constitutional
right to pass an act reducing the sal
airy. When the act was passed Row.
an county was exempted and this will
be used as a defense, the point being
raised Of the right of the legislature
to discriminate.
There are but a very few counties
in North Carolina where more than
fifty thousand dollars of taxes are COL
lected and consequently no general
complaint has been heard. New Han
over being n of the wealthiest coun-
ties in the state is affected by the Jaw.
At the present time, Or at least I'm
der the former law allowing a cont
MISSION Of five per cent, the sheriff Of
New Hanover county received a SAL
airy CT more than six thousand dollars
per year. Under the present law he
salary would be reduced by about two
thousand dollars. Out of the salary
received the sheriff has to pay his dep
uties. Sheriff Stedman is holding five
per cent of the amount collected await
ing the final decision by the courts.
He has employed Rountree and Carr
to represent him.
The position of sheriff is by far the
best paying public Office in New Han
over, but there is more expense at
tached to it than any of the other coun-
ties.

G BOY KILLED
Jumped OF of Train i'm ron OF Shift-
ing Engine-Died in a short Time
From Injuries Received.

A sixteen-year-old negro boy sus-
tanned injuries on the Atlantic Coast
Line yards yesterday ear Fourth
street nat resulted in his death about
two hours later.
The boy was William Wright, SON of
Ida Wright, who was a passenger car
cleaner. He had gone to the yards TO
carry his mother her breakfast and
after performing his task remained
around the yards. Presently the At
lantic and Yadkin train pulled out and
the boy jumped on it to ride a short
distance. When the train reached the
Fourth street bridge he jumped of and
landed in front of a shifting engine.
His right arm was crushed and he
was hurt internally. A man who was
near the scene of the accident hasten
ed to the young negro who could not
speak. He notified the Atlantic Coast
Line relief department and in a very
short time DR.. Vessel was on the
scene and doing what he could for
the boy. The ambulance was summon
ed and he was carried to the James
Walker Memorial hospital, where he
died a short time later.
me boys mother and grandmother
were sweeping out passenger cars near
the shed where the accident occurred
and they were quickly informed in
regard to the matter. Both became
hysterical and had to be carried 20
their homes.
Small boys have a great practice of
playing on the railroad yards and of
jumping on and off trains and occa-
sionally one falls under the wheels and
is either killed or manned for life.

LETTUCE HURT BY FROST
but Science Can Never Tell Accu-
rateIy What a Day Will Bring Forth.

There was a heavy frost on Friday
night and as the covers were left Off
the lettuce beds that night it will nave
a tendency to keep the crop backward.
No real damage was done to the crop.
The leaves were slightly touched, but
not enough to be noticeable in a
weeks time. The farmers lay great
stress on the weather bureau and as
frost was not predicted the beds were
left open, but it is impossible for man
to predict exactly what the day will
bring forth and no matter how far
science may advance this is one thing
that can never be accomplished. III a
general way it can be told what kind
of weather may be expected as far
as "a hours ahead, but it is impossible
to tell accurately.

ACROSS THE
A Characteristic Lecture Friday Night
by Professor Noble, Before the Uni
yersity of North Carolina,

The following account of the lecture
delivered before the university stu
dents by Professor NJ. c.. s. Noble.
formerly of Wilmington, will be read
with interest by his friends here. 1t
is taken from 1.-THE Tar Heel" the uni
versity college paper:
The announcement hat Professor
Marcus Cicero Stephens Noble would
lecture in the chapel Thursday night
on Visiting Schools in Great Britain"
was sufficient to pack/the hall with an
e~xpectant audience. Nor were they
disappointed. 1t was an interesting lee
ture delivered in Professor Mobiles own
inimitable style. Some one told him
after the lecture You have Mark
Twain skinned a mile" and the words
were truly spoken. Scenes, situations,
conversations, which would have been
tame under the treatment of many,
were so presented as to be laughably
humorous.
HE began at the beginning: how
when he started off last summer for
his trip to Great Britain he walked to
the wharf in New York "Al by my
self and embarked; how he arrived at
Glasgow, Scotland and proceeded to
take in all the schools, examining
them in a Enthusiastically American
way: the female teacher who said
'closs" for class and commence" for
commence, in putting the class through
calesthenic exercise for his especial
benefit: his interview with the eruff
and high and mighty Canon who was
willing to give everybody's views as to
educational ideals but his own: the
teacher who persistently declined to be
Impressed by-this setting forth Of the
process of sending children ito the
board" in North Carolina: rejecting
the scheme because you don't have to
go to the board out in the world the
beautiful German maiden who, know
ing but one English sentence land not
knowing what hat meant) proceeded
to practice it on him and how he felt
when he heard it: How are you, my
darling."-his trip to the and of Bob
by" Burns, as the country people af-
fectionately call him: his visit TO the
scenes immortaliZed by Scott in The
Lady Of the Lake. Loeb Katrine,
LochLomond. Uam Var and the rest
these and many other things he told
following his travels until his arrival
home. Never till the turreted church
spires and tall sk~yscrapers Or New
York doomed up in the distance, had
the words Of Scott been to him so preg-
nant with meaning: "Breathes there a
man with soul 50 dead he never to him
self hath said, This is my own, my ma
tive land"

1t is Said That Paper Will Appear
in the Near Future
This is i'm Lin With Movement to Put
at Next ElectiOn-It is Said That
SIS, 600 is to be Furnished and Part
of Same Will be Used to Purchase
Linotype Machine.

A party stated to a representative OF
learned on the quiet that Ex-senator
Marion Butler was contemplating
starting an afternoon paper in Will
mington and that he was going to re-
vive The Independent, which sus-
pended something less than stix-
ty days ago. The party said all the
information he could gather was that
ex-senator Butler was going to sup
ply the money to launch the paper.
This rumor follows closely On state
ments made during the past few days
to the effect that The Independent is
to be revived, and that in the near flu
,ture. Before anything was heard OF
Ex-senator Butler being interested in
Fthe paper, it vas understood that when
the paper again appeared the plant
would be equipped with a linotype ma
chine and a party who said he knew
what he was talking about recently
stated that a machine had been Or
dered.
A movement was recently put on
foot to organize a republican club here
and it is said that a full republican
ticket is to be put out In the next
county and congressional campaign.
This following along with the state
ment that Ex-senator Butler will start
a paper in Wilmington adds signifi-
canoe to the situation. 1t is not a
great while until the campaign will
be on and if the republicans are going
to make a fight in this section of the
state and especially in local politics it
is important that they have a paper
TO disseminate their views. During the
past few years the republicans in this
section have taken no hand in poll
tics, but it is said they will enter into
the race next fall and it will be waged
in the nature Of a reform movement.
This movement was started several
months ago as was stated in The Mes
sen ger at the time. Those mostly in
ternsted seem to be a party of young
m3n who have heretofore taken 10
active part in politics.
1t is understood that five thousand
dollars is to be furnished by Ex-Sen-
ator Butler and a part of this will be
used to purchase a linotype machine
and the remainder to be used in equip
ping the plant in other ways.
