When Durant Led Revolt
Culpepper Rebellion Put End TO
Royal lIeddling in Eastern
North Carolina.
- By Rev. ThOs. B. Gregory

- By Rev. ThOs. b gregory
II He Culpepper rebellion, socalled,
began in eastern North Carolina,
Il then known as Albemarle, 236
years ago today.
It was many years after the ak Of
the first settlers had rung in the clear
ings of the Albemarle region before
any order by the kings command
was heard. Then came commissions
for one Copeley and one Birch TO be
the kings collectors of customs Net
long after came the appointment Of
Eastchurch as governor
These men, with swelled heads, be
gan acting in a way that the unterr1-
fled Democrats of Carolina had not
been accustomed to, and under the
leadership of George Durant, the fore
most man in the colony, they rebelled
against the authorities, on the ground
that government should rest upon
the consent of the governed a doc
trine that Durant seems 10 nave
thought of a good long while before
Mr. Bryan came along.
Durant went to England to protest
against royal meddling into the col
ony's affairs, and the vessel bringing
him home reached port on Dec. 2, 1917;
whereupOn the struggle began in dead
earnest.
Getting together, the men Of Abe
marie proceeded to OFerturn the hate
full representatives Of the king and to
set up a government of their own ere
alton and liking-"a government Of
the country by their own authority,
and according TO their own model, as
Culpepper described it to the king.
An assembly of IS members was
elected, courts were established or re-
modelled, the customs were seized to
provide the necessary funds to pre-
pare against further danger, and the
last Testige of the royal authority was
gone. Durant, the fearless farmer and
natural born statesman, had won and
the people ruled.
This outbreak in eastern North Car
DINA was of the same character and
similar in origin TO the revolution of
2 century later.)Which resulted in the
establishment of the United States of
America. The historical bearing of the
Cuipepper rebellion viii appear as
soon as the fact is duly reflected upon.

Court Hears Arguments on
Plea of Commercial Fire
Insurance Company.
LATTER AIMS TO BAR
DEDUCTION IN ASSETS
Claims Looping Off of 100000 in
Appraisal Of Southern Building
Would Work Injustice.

That the Commissioners Of the District
of Columbia have general supervisory
power over the Office of the superintend-
ent of insurance and may revise, correct
or modify any action of that official is
the position taken by Corpora ton Coun-
sci Thomas in the answer filed today by
District officials to the suit for injunction
brought some weeks ago by the Com
mercial Fire Insurance Company. The
company seeks to prevent the superin-
tendent Of insurance from deducting
$zoJ,OOO from the official statement Of
the assets Of the company because of a
difference in the valuation of the South
ern building at 1ath and II streets north
west made by special appraisers at 81
100000 and by the assistant assessors at
81, 6O2, 40 II
| The proposed reduction, 1t is claimed,
would prevent the company. from doing
business in certain states and. would also
| require them to withdraw from the fields
already occupied by their agents.
Court Hears Arguments.
| Justice Barnard in Equity Court No. 1
today heard arguments of Attorney
Charles Francis Carusi for the company
and of Assistant Corporation Counsel
| Stephens on the question of granting
preliminary injunction pending hear
| ing on the merits of the case. The court
| took the matter under advfsement
Counsel for the company contended that
| as Mr.. Ingham. superintendent of insur-
ance. had appointed appraisers to value
| the property and had accepted their val
| uation he is without authority of law to
change or alter it, especially as such
alteration would work financial loss to
the company. He defended the valuation
of $1,000, 600 for the building and eX-
pressed a willingness to submit evidence
| OF competent realty experts to satisfy
the court or a jury of the existence Of
| such value in the property.
Upholds Commissioner Right.
| The District ofi1cials in their answer
say there is no rule or regulation which
provides for an abpraisenaent OF real
estate of insurance ,companies..for the
purpose Of determining = the value Of
such property as a part of the assets
Of the company, but it. has been the
custom eyer since. the department Of
insurance was esta bfisfed to appoint
outside appraisers in order that the
superintendent OF insurance could COM
ply with the provisions Of section. 652
of the code Of law for the District of
Columbia. =.
Under this conditions of affairs. Mr.
Stephens argued. the court should not
enjoin Mr.. Ingham from carrying out
the order Of the Commissioners. who
have the legal right to alter or amend
his actions, and who directed the
change which the company seeks to
prevent.

M ADOO TO COLLECT
INTEREST FROM BANKS
Treasury Chief Announces
Change in Fiscal Policy
of Government.

Radical changes in the monetary sys-
tenn of the United States have been or
dered by the Secretary of the Treasury
Mr. -McAdoo. He proposes. beginning
June !. to collect 2 per cent interest upon
government deposits from all govern
ment depositaries. whether active or in
active; to increase the deposits in ma
ti0nal banks $4,000, 900, and to accept
tent of so per cent as security for gov
eminent deposits.
The additional United States deposits
will bring the grand total OF federal
moneys out on deposit to So, 649 964, from
which the federal Treasury will earn,
under the new interest order 81, Ol3 600
annually.
There are Indications that Secretary
McAdoo intends to release. still more sur
plus money { for general circulation
through increased deposits with the ma
tional banks
Loss Of Many Millions.
Mr. McAdoo@ today made public some
figures showing how much money the
United States would have obtained had
it required interest on its deposits during
the past sixteen years.
IF the national bank repositories of the
he said, had been required
during the past sixteen years. from 1896.
to pay interest on their average balances
at the rate of per cent per annum. the
net revenues of the government would
have been increased during this period
by the sum of $30.61O,3S1. 1t appears
that no interest was paid by the banks
on any government funds whatsoever
until the passage of the Aldrich-Vree-
land act in 1908. which provided for the
collection of interest only on certain spe-
cial and inactive accounts. and the total
interest thus collected up to January |
last amounted to only $113, 406'
Mr. McAdon also announced a radical
change in the character of securities
which the Treasury Department would
accept for government deposits. Instead
of requiring that the national banks Sc

CARE OF DEF|C|ENTS
PROPOSED BY HOBSON
Introduces Three Bills Provid-
ing Entirely New Method in
Care of Children.

Representative HObSOn of Alabama has
introduced in the House three bills con-
tanning in outline an entirely new method
Of handling deficient children in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The bills were intro
duced at the request of Judge Brown of
Gary, Ind, known as 1.-The father of the
parental court, and the measures embody
Judge Browns ideas as they have been
developed in Gary's parental court
The first of the measures provides that
the education of child under the age
of sixteen years. who shall be found to be
deficient mentally or morally, shall be
In the jurisdiction Of the board of deu-
cation. instead Of in the hands of judges
of the Juvenile courts. No child, under
the provisions of the measure. would be
sentenced to any certain school or in
stitution, but the; board of education, aft
err careful examination of thesindividual
child, would have the powerato determine
just what sort of education best met the
child's requirements.
Punishment Is Eliminated.
The second bill provides for taking all
schools exerting parental influence, such
as orphans schools parochial and
charitable schools, under one control,
styling them parental educational
schools" The bill also provides that mo
child sixteen years of age or under
shall be committed to these schools for
punishment, the idea Of punishment being
entirely omitted in all the bills. 1t is
also provided that the superintendent Of
schools shall watch all children sent to
any school for special or moral education.
and shall send back to the regular
schools, or excuse from attendance, such
children as, in his judgment do not re-
quire further special education or train
ing.
The third bill provides for compulsory
education of children between the ages
Of eight and sixteen years; provides
parents who fail to see that their chill
| dren attend SCHOOL; and provides a sys-
tenn OF tngraded. schools for habitual
truants. 49,.
