Special to The Observer. Kllzabeth City, Kept. 20. An inter esting case, and oru which attracted large crowd of curious spectators. was tried yesterday In police court by Judge Leigh. Tho parties to tho case wee W. -O. Saunders, editor of Tha Independent, a weekly newspaper here which has been creating quite ripple in political and newspaper circles for the past fifteen weeks, and Robert Prltchett, circulation manager of The Dally Star. The evidence Introduced by reliable witnesses waa that Frichett, after reading an arllclA In The Independ ent lambasting The Star and all con nected with it, In which mention' was made of himself in a few words. which he considered a reflection upon his character and mental capacity, went to look for Kaunders to demand an explanation and retraction. Lo cating Saunders on South Poindexter street In a confectionery ttore and waiting until he came out Prltc'hete accosted Saunders with the inquiry s .to whether ho (Saunders) was th uthor of the Insulting article men loned. to which fs under replied In the affirmative. Pritehott then made some uncomplimentary remarks whereupon Saunders remarked that did not care for any trouble ana walked off. Prltchett followed and reaching Saunders" sldo deliberately spat in Saunders' face. Saunders hen coolly removed his coat and hat aying them on the sidewalk, and umped the fellow, who weighs about 50 pounds. They clinched and fell the pavement, Saunders, who eighs about 200 pounds, landing on top. They beat and scratched, prin cipally the latter. Prltchett twlng a pioco of lead with which he pounded Maunders in the back, until they were parted by poacemen and spectators. Prltchett was represented by J. C . F.hringhaus. who put up a most powerful and heart-rending- plea for ia client, declaring In a passionate manner that no man could be so In ilted as his client had beon without nosing great rewotment and desire for venge. This plea was made for the H-rcy of the court as Prltchett plead- gullty to the charge of assault. aunders pleaded not guilty and stat ed he was uctlng only In defense of his person and honor. Prltchett claimed that the pelce of leud which he carried In his pocket. and which resembled. vory much brass knucks, was used by him In his room as a paperweight, but It did not have much weight with Judge Leigh, who let him town easy with a tine of $20 and half of the costs of the court. Saunders had to pay a $5 fine, the other half of the costs. Judge Leigh expressed himself pret ty strongly on the manner in which Prltchett opened tho fight. Stating that spitting In a man's face was a most ungentlemanly and insulting act and he would have no respect for a man who did not resent It in a sub stantial manner. THE .

Cltlcns Around hoiitlicrn Pines Think Tlicy (See Smoke From Great Fores UriH Ilutulreda of Miles. Away MMre to Again Try For Stock Law I'erxlninions Plentiful. Special to The Observer. Southern Plnea, Sept 20. For the pat t n days or more a peculiar smoky haze has hung over this section during a portion of the day, and at times the odor of burning wood Is decidedly noticeable. The wise ones say It Is smoke from the big forest tires of the Northwest, and at ' the smoke Is more prevalent at such tlm uh the wind comos from that direction, the claim seems sustained. It in well known that amok and ashes from great Area bare been carried many hundreds of miles, and the advocates of the smoke theory here clinch their argument by laying If the smoke is not from the great forest fires, what Is ltT And there the other fellow quits. Butchurs report an unusual demand for beef cattle and hogs this year, with a supply not up to the require ments. It is apparent that North Carolina must give more attention to stock-feeding and raising, and that means that the cattle tick must be chased out of the country. Moore county is to make another effort to get the stock law to apply, as the creation of Lee county has cut off some of that section which was op posed to a stork law for this county, and with a stock law prevailing Lnr. Tait Butter, the State veterinarian, has hopes that he can banish the cattle tick from Moore and permit the raising ' of thoroughbred stock, which is almost . Impossible now, as good cattle brought here from sections where ticks are not found are al most sure to die from Texas fever, - The persimmon crop this year; is pountilul. Therefore the opossum hunters are feeling hopeful. Other game is not so abundant, although severaX times during; the summer farmer! within two or three miles of town have reported deer In their fields. One farm was visited at least three 'times during the summer by deer. The theory is that with the turpentine man and the lumberman deserting the woods the deer have a chance to multiply again. Rev.

Little Miss Kvelyn Albee. of Alna Centre, mar deservedly be called a heroine. A few days ago. while play ing near an open well, she accident ally stepped In. The well was eigh teen feet deep, with six feet of water. Her playmate heard the splash, but was too frlahtened to call for assist ance. Miss Evelyn, who Is not years old yet. was equal to the oc casion and clambered to the top un aided and unharmed. "How did she do It?" Is the general question asked, but no one but the lady herself knows and she wishes to forget It. That she wasn't hurt in some way was truly remarkable. THE WEATHER. Washington, Sept. 20.
