Case of Long Standing Finally
Reaches An End in lie
Court.

The Cnited States Circuit Court of APP
Pritchard, Dayton and Mcdowell on the
bench
The court handed down an opinion of
considerable interest in this city. 1t was
in the case Of the Union Bank OF Rich
mond against the oxford and Coast Line
Railway, in error to the Circuit Court
al Raleigh.
The opinion was written by Circuit
Judge Pritchard.
The bank on September 10, 1902, pur-
chased from the railroad company twen-
ty bonds valued at $1,000 each. which
were issued by tho town of Oxford under
an act of the Legislature of North Caro-
Ina authorizing the same in aid of the
construction of the railroad OF the Ok
ford and Coast Line Railway Company.
The town paid the first coupon on the
bonds, but when the second came due,
August 1, 1898. II defaulted. The bank
Instituted an action against the town,
and the town raised the question thar
when the act authorizing tne issuance
pf the bonds passed by the Legislature
Ii was not read In the House of Repre-
rentatives on three different days as re-
CURED by the Constitution, and that the
yeas and nays were not recorded as re-
t,utred ly the Constitution. The lower
court overrulesl this defence and entered
\ Judgment against the town Of Oxford.
b h'he town then appealed to tho Circuit
Court OF Appeals, and that court reversed
the lower court and directed It to sts-
tain the defense.
The bank then, in July, lM5. demanded

was refused and tile bank brought this

What Judge Pritchard Saws.

r
Judge Pritchard states In his opinion:
THE trend of judicial sentiment in this
country is to the effect that one shall not
be permitted to enjoy the benefit of an
others property without compromising
him for the same. To hold otherwise
would be to place premium upon subter-
fuge and tcchnicalty, thing which the
law never regards with favor.
That the bank parted with it's money
and that the defendant in error received
tho same and used 1t in the construction
of its road cannot be denied. nor can 1t be
reasonably insisted that the plaintiff in
error was not induced to part with its
money by the representations OF the rail-
road company that the securities were
valid.
"We therefore think the court erred in
refusing to instruct the jury to find n
verdict In favor of the plaintiff as request
cd in instruction No. ] OF the plaintiffs

ment of tho Circuit Court is therefore re-

Although the weather of the past few
days has been abnormally cold, the usual
harvest of cases of suffering and want
has not made it's appearance. This may
be accounted for probably by the fact
that the ground is so we'll covered by the
various city missions and the Associated
Charities that cases of this kind are
taken up almost as soon rs reported.

walls of homeless men at the Ballard

that they may be put on u Self-Support-
ing basis and be independent of charity.
Since the first of January Mr.. Buchanan
has found employment for about two
hundred men. So far he has found work
for all the men who have come to him
representing that they wanted to set
about earning their living in#the right
way ana others who seemed unwilling to

Tho general condition of labor, which
has been excellent so far, has mitigntetl,

Still there has been an almost continual

High Sugar Beets at Sugar City.

Mr. Windfclder. OF the National
Sugar Manufacturing company ex-
iressed to us his great satisfaction at
tie high sugar content OF bcets being
delivered to the factory since harvest
begun, up to date. While some
coarse bcets are being delivered, the
majority have sugar content OF
from 10 percent to IS percent, in few
the slices in the factory has been, to
date. y percent, with SO percent pur
ity.
We believe that nowhere else in
Colorado, at this time, have the beets
matured as well as at Sugar City.
lis true we are not yet out OF the
woods, and the rain and snow and
frost for the last week or ten days
may reduce this sugar content and
lurity; i'll fact, will do SO undoubt-
cdly, TO some extent.
Mr.. Windfeldcr further states that
this is due to the careful attention
and efforts of the agricultural de-
partment in the first place, punching
and thinning early, and then cult
vate, and cultivate, and cultivate
again, with minimum supply OF
water. Cases are in existence where
lessees and farmers this year, afraid
they could not get enough water on
their bcets, are losing from to to 3
tons per acre, by applying too much
water.-Sugar City Gazette.
