brought by Iredeli Meares. Esq. OF this
city, against J. j. Wolfenden. of New
Bern. n. c., and the transaction which
led up TO the suit shows remarkable
speculation in timber land In North

time profit of about s25o.o0O was
made. The land in question was that
known as the Green Swamps, and cm-
braced 100000 acres, In which there
are some thirty-odd million feet of
timber The plaintiff alleges that with
his cooperation the defendant pur-
chased the land for 100000. and later,
still through his cooperation, the de-

which netted the defendant profit of
S250,0Oo; that the only fee paid him
was $1,000 though he later retained in
his hands sl,T1S.S3 belonging to the
defendant. So he sues for $4,000 and
interest, less the amounts specified. y
brilliant array of legal talent is en-
gagged on each side, and the case is

WiIminEton's Legislative Candidates
for IIin-Intcrcst in Primary.


WILMINGTON, n. c.. April 1.-THE
state prohibition election Is being
eclipsed Just at present by the DEM
ocratic primary to be held May 18th
This with particular emphasis on the
race for the Legislature. but strange
to say every candidate In the field has
pledged himself to vote for tho re-
election of Senator Lee 8. Ovcrman.
So this shows plainly that the junior
senator from North Carolina will get
the strength OF this county in tho next
General Assembly. which Will mean
the vote of n representative and OF q
senator.
Two popular lawyers are lined up
against each other for tho State SEN
ate--1. o. Carr. ESQ. and ex-State SEN
ator B. G.. Empie, while for the House
Woodus Lellum Esq. is being opposed
by Colonel George l., Morton who
stands for reelection, and who Is
known as one Of the opponents of pro-
hbition. being Identified with the
movement started in Salisbury, ". c..
few weeks ago to fight prohibition.
Another fact that is very plain Is
that unless the supporters OF Locke
Craig and Congressman w. w. Kitchin
foreiovernor get TO work and do siren
uous work. the Ashley Horne forces are
going TO sweep the county. His local
manager are hard at work and have
put tickets for delegates to the coun-
" convention in every ward and so
fa- there is no opposition. This means
that IL the delegates to the conven-
ton are secured, delegates to the STAT
convention will act according 10 in
slructlons. as there Will be no primary
In this county for Governor. So Ii
looks like Ashley Horne is going 10
secure nearly all. IL not all. OF New
Hanover county's nine votes in tho
state convention.

Of taking paper from news stand without paying Tor IT

Now this apparently small matter but it represents

worse than the first. Senator Elkins,
who has always been able to whip the

ed them to drop both Scherr and
Swisher and take Senator Scott but
they b2th vehemently prot ested ard
made new declaration of inten ton to
stick - their present. position to the
end regardless of consequences. Whe..
they left the council about midnight.

fore he would again meet them in con-
ference.

Prospects never were brighter fol-
democratic success than in this cam
paign. The dem ocracy has not been
so thoroughly united and harmonious
since 1892 while the republicans are
divided worse than at any time in the
history of the party. The g. o. p. is
divided into waring factions in New
York, Connecticut, Delaware, Mary
and, West Virginia, Chic, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and nearly every
where else.
In Kansas and Nebraska the repub-
licans il their state platforms have en-
dorsed the declaration of the demo.
cratic platform favoring the !guarantee
OF bank deposits which was condemn
ed by their national convention and
spurned by Mr.. Taft and several more
republican states are threatening to dc
the same.
The terrible depression in the indus
trial centres following twelve years OF
uninterrupted republican rule, is GO
ing to have an influence decidedly in
the interest of Mr.. Bryan to say moth.
ing of the general feeling of dissatis.
action with republican rule. The
Bryan sentiment is at flood tide and il
still rising.

Mr.. Berry in his non-partisan speech
in the Lutheran church en- last Thurs
day night, spoke of the bounty of God
in dealing with our nation, ''never was
nation so blest as our people, but
today there are hundreds of thousands
of men without work through the
North, men who really want work,
work every day when they can get 1t
who standing face to face with starva-
lion for themselves and their families,
and our republican friends would have
us believe that the nation was never SO
happy and prosperous. 1t is very nice
to talk of faith in protection but empty
faith without fruils will soon take
wings and fly away. "lfa brother or
sister be naked and destitute of daily
food, and che of you say unto them.
Depart in peace, be ye warmed and
filled; Notwithstanding we give them
not those things which are nee iful to
the body; what doth it profit"
1t is just.about certain that the work
ing men will vote for Bryan this year
as a mass, and though they may be
republicans they are certainly JUS
titled in so doing.

Cur friend Charles Peter Light ought
to be the last man in the country to
speak of Mr.. Bryan changing his views.
His friends all remember well that
only few years ago he was an ardent
tariff-for-revenue man. Suddenly he
changed to high tariff man, later he
was siandpatter and now he stands
for revision by the friends of protec-
