STATE COUNSEL MAKES REPORT

Outlines Important Litigation in
which He Appeared During Year.
Attorney-General Robert II. McCar-
ter has submitted a report to Cover
nor Stokes showing that during the
last fiscal year there was collected
through his Office for the State an ag.
gregate Of s179, 9sl.99.
The report outlines the various liti-
cation in which the encouragement
has appeared as counsel for the State
during the past year There are. mum.
erous and probably involved questions
of more importance to the public at
large than have come up in any single
year in the past. Prominent among
them are the litigations involving the
constitutionality of the various rail
road tax acts.
During the year the attorney
al rendered 252 opinions to the various
departments and officials Of the State.
The encouragement notes with
pleasure that during the past five
years there has been collected in taxes
from delinquent miscellaneous cor
porations S793, 1882, the greater por-
tion of which has been paid only after
proceedings have been instituted in
chancery for injunctions to restrain
the delinquent corporations from ex-
ercising their franchises or transact
ing business.
The Encouragement brought 215
cases during the year for the State
board of health for violation of the
pure food law, oleomargarine law, and
for failure to file certificates of birth
with the following results: One hun
dred and eight penalties collected,
seven cases lost in the trial court or on
appeal twenty-four appeals by de-
PENDANTS, forty-eight penalties i'm
posed but not collected, five cases
withdrawn, one appeal by plaintiff,
and twenty-six cases pending. In adj
di5ion twenty-five penalties were col
lected during the year on suits brought
during the preceding year, and ninety
four penalties were paid under the
law passed in 1906. requiring notice to
be sent to persons charged for the first
time With selling or having in possess
sion milk below The statutory stand
ard. and permitting the violator to
pay the penalty, without suit, within
fifteen days after notice.
Sufficient time has now elapsed to
have given the statute turning over
to this department the legal business
OF all commissions, institutions, boards
or other departments of the State a
fair test, and | believe that no one &C
quainted with the subject can fail to
recognize the propriety and advantage
of this change in the law. 1t is be-
lieved that apart from the economy
that has ensued, a more harmonious
systematic and satisfactory admins
trarion of The legal affairs of the State
has been the result

Everybody is wondering what steps
will be taken toward Local Option in
this State when the Legislature meets,
All the parties interested are said tc
have their pet ideas embodied ia bills
which will be presented early in the
session and then will come the struggle
The liquor interests were particularly
antagonistic to the Republicans in the

is not to their liking. They forced the
issue and must abide by the result.

SEVERAL times in the course Of its
history the Republican party has gone
into convention to nominate a presi-
Dental ticket without any definite
knowledge as to who the candidates
would be. From present indications
1908 will be another such year. In
a majority of cases the Republican
choice has been perceived in advance
in the strongly expressed preference
ofthe people sometimes amounting to
unanimity. On the other hand, the
nominations more than once have
been unexpected though results
proved their wisdom. The record Of
fifty years impresses upon Republic
ans the fact that their national con-
ventions have been faithful and capa-
BILE representative bodies, registering
with absolute fidelity the wishes of
the people when they were clearly
known, and interpreting them truly
when action developed entirely upon
the selective Judgment of the conven-
tion itself.

If one-q quarter of the bills making
appropriations for public buildings,
and which have been introduced at
the pi esent session of Congress, were
to become laws there would not be
sufficient money in the treasury to
pay for the buildings. 1t is not be-
lieyed in Washington there will be
any bills reported favorably by the
committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds this year for new buildings.
There may be a few bills reported that
call for the completion of some build
ings that are in the course Of construc-
tion, but because of the falling off CT
the receipts Of the government it will
be the policy of the Republican lead
ers in the Senate and the House to
keep the appropriations down to the
lowest figure possible this year.

Miss Georgianna Coriell died on
Thursday morning as the result Of in
juries inflicted upon herself. For some
time past Miss Coriell has been labor
ing under mental disturbance and a
nurse has been in attendance upon her

every effort was made to save her life.
Miss Coriell had kept house for her
mother and brother and the strain Of
attending her mother through her
long last illness broke down her health,
leaving her in a condition Of nervous
