Notice to Those Who Spit.

Posters are out, by direction OF Mayor
Weinberg, giving notice that the ordin-
ance against splitting on sidewalks and
in public Railways will be strictly en-.

OF public health, and is enforced in all

for man to expectorate it is not ask
ing too much for him to step to the curb
and spit in the street. To see tobacco
chewer, as is frequently the case, squirt
tobacco juice all over the sidewalk is a
disgusting sight, besides breeding dis
ease. The city officials give fair notice,
and it is hoped the ordinance will be
strictly enforced

The Press Association Meeting.

We believe we shall voice the OPP
inim of every editor and newspa-
per worker who attended the meet
ing of the State Press Association
held at Columbia Thursday and
Friday of last week, when we say
that ii was one of the best ever
held. In one thing at least do we
think il excelled, and that was in
the wide range OF practical subjects
discussed. The program committee
is to be congratulated on the splen-
did selection OF subjects for papers,
and the speakers on the splendid
preparation given the subjects. The
ers and workers was also nota-
bic feature In this respect. the
meeting probably eXcelled previous
meetings We expect to see improv-
ment in many of the newspapers of
the State as a result Of the meet
ing. 1t seems to be the determin-
alton of the members of the Press
Association TO put their papers on
a business basis. The time when
any kind OF management in the
business affairs of a newspaper is
at an end. and business managers
are beginning 10 conclude that the
same kind OF business judgment is
needed to make the newspaper a
success as is needed in other lines
of business. An auxiliary organiz-
alton will probably result among thp
county papers in reference to more
economical purchasing of supplies,
and more uniform handling of for
eign advertising. The same amount
of intelligence and energy in 9th
er lines make wealth for the work
ers, and why not for the newspaper
men as we'll?

citizen of this city, was seized to-
day under execution issued from
the United States court to satisfy
judgment for 100000 obtained at
the recent term of Federal court
here by the Knickerbocker Trust
Company OF New York. This is the
amount alleged to be due by Mr..
Worth under a contract which he
signed for stock in the Rockingham
Power Company which failed, and
which was financed by the trust
company.
After paying about $4,000 of hi:
subscription Mr.. Worth refused to
pay the remainder, alleging fraud
as the reason When the case was
heard a few weeks ago, Judge Can
non held that the element of fraud
did not enter the case and ordered
verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for the amount sought. Notice of
appeal was given. Execution was
issued yesterday and to-day Deputy
Marshal j. T. Sharpe, of Raleigh,
seized two pieces of realty, one in
terest in another piece of stock and

property will be advertised and sold

sary bond staying the proceedings
