Would-Be Whiskey Buyers FIeeced
Out of Ten Dollars.

hushtiiulut'A SUM
Two thrifty white men, unknown
to the public, appeared at the South
ern depot Saturday afternoon last
and began taking orders for what
they claimed to be first class block
ade whiskey, and large number of
the colored population, with sprink-
ling Of the whites, naturally became
interested in the proposed deal. In
working up the orders for the whis-
key they solicited and got help from
a number Of colored men and one
white man. They claimed that the
whiskey was in the woods close by,
and that they would meet at a desig-
mated spot at night and deliver to
the would-be buyers whatever amount
they had agreed upon. Night hav-
ing approached, they met in the
woods, and while one Of the sellers
went to get the measuring vessels
and the whiskey, the other man told
the thirsty ones that they had better
come across" with the cash to pay
for the "sowpaw," and they all COM
piled with the request. In the mean
time the man that went after the
whiskey and measuring vessels call
ed to the other to come and help him
find the whiskey and vessels, that it
was dark and he could not find them.
They all went out to where they had
heard the voice, but failed to find
anyone. The man that received the
cash began to hunt the liquor, but
failing to find it, turned around,
pulled out his pistol and began shoot
ing in the direction of his followers,
And it goes without saying that it
had the desired effect; the whole
gang simply burned the wind get
ting away, leaving the man with $40

MEMORIAL TO BILL. NYE.

~aA fhSSSSss@ssSss ~
cides that the Memory Of the
Lamented Humorist Shall be
honored In q Practical Manner.
State Newspapers Delegated to
Receive Contributions.
The committee appointed at the
recent meeting Of the North Caro-
lima Press Association to take in the
matter of a State memorial to Bill
Nye, met in Salisbury Wednesday,
July 9th, in formal session, and after
hearing all the propositions before it
unanimously decided:
|. That the memorial TO the la
mented humorist shall take the form
Of a memorial building, to be one of
the group and part Of the Stone
wall Jackson Training School, gen.
orally known as the State Reforma-
tory, in Cabarrus county, near Con-
cord.
2. That the building, furnished
and equipped as the trustees may
direct, TO the best advantage for the
rescue Of Grant boys, shall cost not
less than $4,000, and shall be known
as the bill Nye Memorial Building"
3. That the following newspapers
be designated to receive and &C.
knowledge subscriptions to the fund
for this building, said funds to be
transmitted promptly to the treas
urer, John NJ. Julian, editor Of the
Salisbury Post: The Observer, Char
lotte; the Evening Post, Salisbury;
the Citizen, Asheville; the News and
Observer, Raleigh; the News, Green's
boro; the Star, Wilmington; the Up
lift, Concord.
4. That while the committee be-
lieves that this memorial should be
distinctively North Cardinals trib-
ute to the lamented man of letters,
it deems it wise, in order to ensure
the prompt success of the movement,
and further to permit the friends Of
Bill Nye outside the State an oppor-
tunity to contribute to this move
ment, that contributions from out
side the State should be gratefully
received and acknowled ged, while
not solicited.
The committee believes further
that it made wise and happy selec-
ton in the form of this memorial;
that nothing it might have conceived
would have brought greater joy to
the heart Of the gifted, kindly man
whose memory it is designed to per-
petuate, than the great work of max
ing useful citizens of hayward boys,
and that were he present with us in
the flesh today it would have the
stamp Of his approval. Furthermore
the committee bespeaks the hearty
cooperation Of the brethren Of the
press especially, and all good citi-
zens generally in this undertaking.
II is a labor of love-one that has
already been too long neglected, to
the shame of North Carolina. Let US
put our shoulders to the wheel and
show to the world what North Caro-
lima can do for the men it delights
to honor.

McKIM DIVORCE MAY GO
TO o. s. SUPREME COURT
Novel Legal Action to BE Raised on a
Point OF Objection 20 Ruling
Of Judges In Nevada.

BALTIMORE, July 1.-The hearing
in the supreme court Of Nevada on the
technical appeal of DR.. Smith Hollins
McKim from ruling by the district
court OF Reno against his plea for spe-
.cial appearance, TN the divorce suit In
stituted by his wife, who was formerly
Miss Margaret E. Emerson. of Balti
more, came an intimation that the di
vorce case may be carried to the SUI
preme court of the United States.
The Nevada supreme court did not
arrive at decision In, yesterdays
hearing. and II Is not likely that the
case can be resumed In the district
court for many weeks. In fact, James
T. Boyd, attorney for Mrs. McKim, de-
clared today that he did not expect the
lower court to resume the case for a
month at least.
The lawyers for DR.. McKim have
been granted Ave days In which to
submit a list of authorities cited In
their argument before the supreme
court, and Chief Justice Norcross de-
clared today that he would not be able
to say definitely until next week how
long IL would be before the decision
would be announced.
The point on which the case may be
carried into the federal courts is pos
sible contention by DR.. McKim's law
yers. in the event OF an adverse ruling
by the supreme court, that In refusing
to grant the defendants application
for special appearance in the case, the
state OF Nevada is denying TO DIR. Nc
Kim an inherent right belonging to
him as an American citizen.

A bill just introduced in the State
Legislature by Senator Biddison
makes some needed changes in the
present forest fire laws that should
prove very beneficial. 1t is along
the lines oflegislation in other states
which are in advance OF US in this
important matter, and where such
Legislation has brought very salts
factory results. The proposed law
divides the expense Of extinguish-
ing forest fires equally between the
County and the State. Under the
present law the County has to pay
the entire expense OF extinguishing
forest fires. and then has the power
TO collect the costs from the land
owners on whose account the money
was expended. This means that the
landowners whosuffersmost fromfor-
estfires mustnotonly sustain the loss.
but pay the largest share Of the ex-
pense Of putting out the fire for
which he is probably in no way
responsible.
The forest fire question is an i'm
portant one. Timber is becoming
too valuable to permit fires to injure
the forests year after year without
attempting to suppress them and
give the young growth a chance to
develop, in order to furnish timber
for the next generation.
This bill in addition gives the
forest wardens the power OF arrest
in case OF detected violation OF the
forest laws. and also gives them the
power to summon help to extinguish
forest fires. The bill should have
the support Of all woodland owners.

We have heard several St. Mary's
landow ners express themselves in
regard to the proposed new assess
ment and they are generally oppos-
ed to it, They claim that under
existing laws the County CommIs-
sioners have authority to revise and
increase present assessments and
that here in ST. Mary s. at least, liz
tie or no property is missed by the
Commissioners and district asses
sors. Any and every Improvement
put on a farm is promptly assessed.
Besides. they do not see why there
is such crying need for new assess
ment in the counties and none in
Baltimore City. for if the City has
an Appeal Tax Court to regulate as
sessments there aud to put on new
property. the counties are just as
well of with heir Boards OF Com
missioners, who do the same work
as the Appeal Tax Court, though
under a different Dame. IL we must
have q new assessment. let it be
State wide.
