NORTH CAROLINA BONDS
PASSED UP TO LEGISLATURE
Writ of Mandate Held up Pending
Meeting of Law Makers

Last evening the Supreme Cour
OF this State handed down decis
ion in the North Carolina bond mat
ter. The decision is a sort of
double jointed affair By the term!

ed to receive the bonds as gilt pro
viding the incoming Legislature Sc
decides, On the other hand. tn,
writ OF mandamus asked for by the
donors OF the bonds is suspended
awaiting the action oi the Legisla-
ture.
When the bonds were presented d

fused the gilt on the grounds that
they were repudiated bonds OF un-
sound value, that the state would be

and also liking fictitious value ON

paper, The matter has been pend
two states. and that for certain legal
time.
The decision is written by Judge
Talbot and concurred in by Chief
jpstice Sweeney. The decision prac
acally puts the matter in the hands
OF the Legislature. Justice Norcross
writes dissenting opinion i'll which
he states that as the bonds have no
value the state should not receive
them.
Several peculiar features are con
nected with the issue During the
Legislative session OF 1891 a bill
was passed authorizing this state To
accept money or bond, credential,
and other marketable paper. Thi,
bill was presented by Judge Sweeney
whc at that time was serving the
state in the Legislature. lie pre-
sented the bill by request.
1t passed both Houses and Gov
ernor Sadler signed the bill, making
it a law.

a duplicate to one passed by the F,
State Of Rhode Island, even to die

The State OF Rhode Island after

same bonds were handed to it, 1t is |
figured that there is approximately |
forty million dollars involved in this
matter Should Nevada or any 9th
er state collect on the bonds it would J
bankrupt the State of North Caro-
lima.
The real wide sweeping effect OF
the law was not discovered until
Governor Dickcrson rcfu ,cd TO have
anything TO do with the repudiated
bonds IA
The opinion ol Judge Talbot
which hands the matter over to the
incoming Legislature is As follows:

a number OF public statements IN
which he declared that the offer was

Nevada as cats paw to validate
and increase the market value OF a |
huge block OF the Carolina securi /
ties which had been bought up by |
a coertie of Spectators,
Following this there was an inter
change OF kilograms between the
Governor OF Nevada and the Gov
ernor Of North Carolina in which
the southern executive expressed
qualification that no attack on the
credit OF the State would be made.
Later it was learned that an Act
practically similar TO the. Act Of 1901
had been passed in North Dakota
and followed by the offer OF bonds
and proceedings similar to those
used in Nevada.
Under the Act, Governor Dicker
son pointed out, it would become the
luty of the General to
prosecute suits for the payment of
the principal and interest on the
bonds, against the State OF North
Carolina. The filing of suit in the
name of Nevada would give the
bonds a certain dignity on the mar
ket and the holders of the remain
& and major block would acquire
fortunes by the appreciation, even II

Carolina was not had

committee appointed yesterday to

 How long this thing might have continued, no one knows, but at the point described above, Johnny de- cided to speak out and let the little fighters know of his presence. Es- peciaily did he wish to give aid to Good Deeds. So he cried out in a loud voice:
 Soldiers, listen to me. I am Johnny, owner of this room in which you appear so mysteriously." Then Johnny paused. He had spoken so well that he marvelled at himself Then he continued: Why do you come here, Temptation? do not wish to see you. Leave the room please. like Good Deeds. He has a nice face, I shall choose him for a companion during the New Year."
 But Temptation did not leave the room. Neither did he draw back in shame. He stepped forward, boldly, and said with assurance: T have something to say to you, Johnny, if you will listen. After you have heard me, you may decide that I am not so bad as my enemy here would have

"Ah, my young friend, some call me Temptation. You shall be the judge as to whether or not I am rightly named. In the first place, I love boys and girls. If I have a pref erence, it is for boys. They listen to me better than girls do. Now, I shall tell you what I will have you do throughout the year-if you choose me as your companion during the Few Year. First, there is the school to which you are forced to go. The lessons are difficult and tiresome. l shall help you to get through them
 without learning them. I'll show you little tricks during the examination by which you will be enabled to cheat the teacher and pass your exams. And this will give you time to read adventure and Indian stories in school. You may slip them under the desk and read to your fill. And when the spring comes, I will teach you how to play truant without being found out. You may run away to the woods and steal birds nests, and fish and hunt.

As that the one who was speaking had a cunning face, a sneering mouth and nose, and keen, bead-like black eyes. A tangle of raven hair hung over his head, and Johnny could discern just the suggestion of horn in his fore- head. He wore a bright red garment trimmed with sparkling things and fur. Jewels were on his hands and ankles. The other little creature was of a sunny countenance, wide-open honest eyes with soft golden curls falling about his neck. His garment was of modest grey cloth, and he wore no jewelry of any kind. Over his shoulder hung book satchel filled with good books. Johnny could read the titles of them, for the light from the street came in through two big windows and flooded the room.
