i Mr. \V, W. Satterfield met with quite
a painful, but not s'irious accident
Monday morning. It seems that his
(rfgainst orders) had followed
i him up town, and he, in trying to chase
the dog back home stepped on a loose
stone and fell across the railway track,
I his nose and face coming in contact
j with the steel rail which left a bad
bruise. Ed Farrell says that the
j Southern Railway Company will expect
I damages, but Mayor .Shaw, after a
I careful examinition of the premises,
I thinks that the Southern people are
I not entitled to damages, as there are
I only a few bruises on the steel rail of
I the main line and hopeci that the
! matter will not go any further.

Test cases, involving the liability of
tl’e Federal Government for flooding
by levee construction of some $7,000,-
000 worth of land along the Mississippi
River, are expected to b^ decided by
the Supreme Court within Ihe few
weeks succeeding.
The claims now being urged in the
test cases are for the flooding of lands
on the east banks of the Mississippi
near Vicksburg, Mississippi. It is
charged that the Government is re
sponsible because it constructed a levee
on the opposite bank of the river and
thac the foothills back of the planta
tion acted as a new bank for the river
The test cases are brought ny two

The Civic league of Burlington seems
to be taking on new life. At a recent
meeting the organization was rejuven
ated by the election of a new set of
^ officers, etc. The organization has
I been in existence for s»'veral years,
but has never accomplished anything
of note. But now, under the new of
ficers, there is a prospect of much
cleaning up being done, and many un
sightly places beautified. The many
vacant lots near the business district
that are the dumping ground for
brokendown wagone, buggies and al
most every conceivable article of dis
carded implements, while many back
lots in the business district are piled
high with unsightly empty boxes, bar
rels, crates, etc. It is the purpose of
the new organization to remedy this by
a general cleaning up, which will not
only add to the appearance, but will
put the place in a better sanitary con
dition, thus serving the double pur
pose of healchfulness and heauty.

E. J* Justice Introduces
Bill in Qenerai Assembly
That Has Punch.
Anti-trust bill guaranteed to have
■‘teeth” by ex-Speaker E. J. Justice
and a bill by Kellum of New Hanover
to put waterpower, electric and gas
companies under rate control by the
Corporations Commission were especi
ally important bills introduced in the
House.
Mr. Justice’s bill m^kes it unlawful
for ar.y person or corporation to. enter
into any contra't, or have any combi
nation in the form of a trust or other
wise, or conspiracy in restraint of
of trade, and makes violation of this
provision a misdem anor, and t^ny
person acting as the agent of a cor
poration in vio-ation of this provision
is as guilty as if acting for hio)self,
and the fine on any corporation can
not be less than $2,000, each week’s
vi lation being a seperate offense.
TEETH LAID BARE.
Any contract or combir ation in the
form of a trust or conspiracy which
violates the principles of the common
law shall be punishable by fine or im
prisonment in the discretion of the
court. Provisions of Ihe Sherman anti
trist law are made operative as State
law.
Correcting the defects in the Na
tional law, which grew out of the de-
ciswns of the Supreme Court of the
United Slates in the American To
bacco Company case and the Standard
Oil case that these offenses were not
illegal unle'^s they unreasonably re
strained trade, the Justice will pro
vides that any civil or criminal case
prosecuted under the provision of the
bill, if it is contented the agreement
or combination of conspiracy in re
straint of trade is not unreasonable so,
that the burden shall be on those who
maintain this position to prove affirm
atively that they do not injure the
business of any competitor, or pravent
any one from becoming a competitor
because of fear of being injured by
such contract combination or conspiracy
AS TO AGREEMENTS
Any agreement which limits tho
rights of any person to do business in
any territory however small, even
though it does not violate the com
mon law. and even through it is valid
under decisions of the State courts,
shall be void unless produced in writ
ing and signed
All things declared illegal by the
Reid bill of 1907 are made illegal and
I punished by fine and imprisonment.

Judp^e Bcyd Does .Not Es=
cape the Wrath of Rev
enue Commissioner.
A sensational report by Royal B.
Cabell, Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, to Secretary MacVeagh, teeming
with caustic criticism of alleged
whiskey frauds in North Carolind ard
of the course of the Federal Court,
presided oyer by District Judge Boyd
of Greensboro, N. C., in dealing with
the conditions, wasmide public by tie
House Committee on Expenditures in
the Treasury Department, which has
undertaken an investigation of the
situation.
Mr, Cabell describes the conditions
in the case, directed against D. C.
Foster, a distiller, of Williams, N. C.
and N. Glenn V/i>liims, the alleged
purchases of the whiskey i.i question,
as “a history of frauds against the
Government, embracing tOebauchery
of employes, b.ibery of revenue offi
cers and successful theft.”
JUDGE BOYD RAPPED.
The commissioner declares that
Judge Boyd has issued a total of three
injunctions to restrain the Government
from seizing and selhng the w^hiskey
for taxes. He points out his authority
to act under the revenue laws and
adds in reference to the injunctions:
“In view of the positive and eir-
phatic language of the Supren»e Court,
it would seem incredible that the court
should lend itself to the consideration
of so plain a violation of law as this
proceeding is.”
The case began with the seizure in
1905 of the rectifying house, known
as “OldNick,” at Williams, N. C., not
far from Winston-Salem. The seiz
ure was made on, what the revenue
officers charge, were fraudi discov
ered in a two-year investigation that
resulted in the indictment of N. Glenn
Williams; D. E. Kennedy, D. C. Fos
ter and others. Their company was
found guilty and Williams and Ken
nedy acquitted. The commissioner
ordered the distillers to give a new
bond and later, because of the alleged
frauds, ordered the whiskey seized and
sold for taxes. In three moves i'l
this direction he was enjoined by Judge
Boyd. The last effort of the commis
sioner contemplated the transfer of
the whiskey to a general bonded ware
house at Louisville. The issue is
pending in the courts.
NO ASSETS LEFT.
Mr. Cabell asserted that the official
reports appeared to demonstrate that
the “Old Nick” Distillery Company
had disposed of its property so ^^hat
there were no longer any assets, from
wnich to collect judgment and said
that evidence indicated that during one
period the frauds ran from $250 to $500
a day. The commissioner told of
heated language between himself and
R. H. McNeill, attorney for the
distilley, in connection with the case,
when he declared McNeill said the
bureau was allowing itself to be used
to wreak personal and political ven
geance on Williams and that Williams
had powerful friends who would not
see him injured. The commissioner
said Mr. McNeil' referred to Judge
Boyd among others in this connection.
“There are now stored near Williams,
N. C., in on out-of-the-way place,”
the report concluded, “more than 600
barrels of whiskey, on which $30,000
tax is due this Government and there
large claims pending. If the
distiller could be apprehended ?nd
brought to justice, he would be con
victed, probably imprisoned and
heavily fined. In addition to the in
ternal revenue frauds, in which the
claimant, N*. Glenn Williams, has fig
ured, he stands today convicted by a
jury, though sentence has yet to be
imposed, on account of frauds a;^ainst
the Postoffice Department. For a
long time it has been necessary to
maintain day and night guards, at a
cost of thousands of dollars, to protect
the spirits in ihis distillery.”
Commissioner Cabell later will tes
tify before the committee.

The Proposed Jury Law

from another county will be of great
benefit and we are glad that it was

he is a lawyer.
Broker Who was Made
Fan ous by Wall Street
Adventures.
(From The New York San.)
Stephen Van Cullen White, known
from coast to coast as D >acon White
and famej for his adventures in Wall
Street, died yesterday at his home at
the Standish Arms, Brooklyn. He was
operated upon last February and sii.ce
then had never fully recovered his
health.
Deacon White in his day was one
of the most successful, as well as one
of the most picturesque, figures in
Wall Street, rie made and lost for
tune after fortune, and faced his re
verses as cl.eerfully as he met 1 is
winnings. He failed for hugeamoun s
several times, but his reputation was
such that he was able to continue
business after his failures and e'-ich
time paid his creditors in full.
He was a ready letter writer, and
his letters, homely and whimsical,
easily found room in the columns of
the newspapers wi . i» whom he took
issue. There never was any hard feel
ing on either side when Deacon White
entered into a difference of opinion.
Mr. White had been an orator, poet,
philanthropist, classic scholar and
translator, editor, ex-Abolitionist, as
tronomer, schoolmaster, ploughboy,
trapper and politican. He was emi
nent in all of these things; he was a
trustee of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn
had commanded praise from Whitter
as a poet, was Blaine’s leading sup
porter in Brooklyn and was easy of
approach by those who undertook
philanthropies.
Mr. White was a descendant of a
Pennsylvania Quaker. His father
moved to South Carolina, where
Stephen was born in 1S31. Six weeks
after he was born his father refused
to do police duty in the Nat Turner
uprising because of his opposition to
slave) y and was forced to leave the
State. The family moved to Illinois
and set tied on the prairies There the
boy grew up and made enough money
by trapping to go to Knox College,
from wnich he was graduated in 1854.
He then went to St. Louis and after
a month of bookkeeping turned his
attention to the law. He was ad
mitted to the bar in 185G. His success
was quick and he soon became a
Uniced States District Attorney in
Iowa. Shortly after he came to New
York, living in Brooklyn, he appeared
as a member of the firm of Marvin
and White, bankers and brokers. This
was in 1865.
Two years later the firm failed and
Marvin retired from its membership.
Mr. White continued the firm alone
for fifteen years and became a mem
ber of the Stock Excharge. In 1882
the firm of S. V. Whits and Co., was
organized with him at its head and
Arthu.- Clafin and f. W. Hopkins as
partneis. The firm took a prominent
part in the affairs of Wall Street and
Mr. White’s reputation for skill and
daring grew. Pis audacious manipu
lation of Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western stock netted him a million,
it was said, and in those days such
profits were rare.
His three failures were in 1867,
when Marvin and White failed; in 1872,
when he failed from losses caused by
the Boston fire, and i/i 1891, when he
tried to comer the corn supply and
stood to win $3,000,000 on the deal.
The corner was broken and White
failed for $1,000,000, with a resultant
depressing effect on the markets of
New York, Paris and London.
MANf CATTLE SOLD
Over Halt Million Dollars
Worth Were Marketed
Last Year.
Over half a million dollars’ worth of
cattle was shipped out of Western
North Carolina during the year ending
last December. This is over $150,000
more than was shipped the year before,
aiid ia arrived at from an estimate
based on figures obtained from the
office of Division Freight Agent Orr of
the Southern at Asheville. There were
636 cars of live stock shipped, for the
most part cattle. The year before
there were 459.
There is also a large increase in the
lumber shipments of 1912 as compared
