Supreme Court Decides That
JVIouey Appropriated by
City Belongs to State
The suit brought nearly two years ago
by the county school board) against the
city to recover proceeds of fines col
ected in the police court reached a final
decision yesterday in the supreme
court, in favor of the plaintiff board.
The state constitution, article 9, sec
tion 5. provides that "the clear proceeds
of all -penalties and forfeitures, and of
all fines collected, in the several counties
for any breach of tthe penal or military
laws of the state; and all wioneys which
shall be paid by 'persons as an eqoaiva
lent for exemption from military duty,
shadl belong to arui remain In the sev
era! counties, and shall be faithfully
approprialted for establishing and main
taining free public schools."
This paragraph coming1 under the
notice of Superintendent Venable, he
decided at once ito bring suit for the re
covery of the proceeds of fines iwhich un
der the city charter were going to the
city.
The case has been a test one and
will no doubt be followed by others
Stuperinteiiident Vena'ble believes (that it
will affect almost every city charter in
the state and wi'll result in adding half
a million dollars to the school funds.
Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh, "Wil
mington and other cities have been
waiting upon the supreme court decis
ion, as the charters in these citiea are
similar to that of Asheville.
The history of the case shows that
the test was first made in the superior
court and was decided in favor of the
county. Tlhe city took an appeal and
the issues were so drawn that it iwas
intended that the result should be con
clusive when the higher count should
decide it, so the decision "no error" is
supposed to cover the ground complete
ly and conclusively.
Two suits were brought by the board
against the city. Ote involved all mon
ies collected by the city prior to March
13, 1895, the date of the ratificoltion of
the present city charter. The other suit
involved all amounts collected by the
city since that date. In the complaint
there were four causes of action. The
first claimed the clear proceeds of all
penalties collected by the city; the sec
ond claimed all forfeitures; the third
all fines for violation of state laws oth
er than municipal ordinances, while the
fourth claim, was for all fines collected
by the city ifor violation of (municipal
ordinances'.
The city demurred to the fourth cause
of actioto!, iwhich iwas the principal one.
Judge Allen in the superior court over
ruled the demurrer and the defendant
artfealed. .. .
The fines collected in the (police court
of the city last year aimouiited to over
54,600.
The result of the supreme court de
cision therefore places at 'least this
amount yearly to the credit of the
county school fun j instead of in the city
treasury. "What is going to be done about it?"
Chairman Rawls- of the fimance com
mittee was asked yesterday.
"Can't tell until we see Ithe text of
the decision," saicThe. "We don't loiorw
ttiiat it may -mean, until we see it."
"We hope there will be some way for
the city to get out," said City Alttorney
Bourne.
MAY BE TRIED FOR
TREASON BY FRENCH
Paris. May 15. Another convocation
of the French senate as the high court
of France is promised by the unex
pected return to this - country of the
Marquis de Lur-Saluces, the .well
known royalist and former member of
the chamber of deputies, who, in Jan
uary, 1900. at the time of the con
spiracy trials, was condemned, in de
fault of appearance, to ten years' ban
isliment for treason. The president of
the senate, M. Fallieres, received a
letter today in which the marquis says:
"At the resent moment, when the
government of the republic is striving
desperately to ruin industry and com
merce, paralyze national work, disor
ganize the army and destroy religious
faith in a word, to utterly destroy the
fatherland itself I intend to provoke
another public discussion before the
high court on the question of who
are the real authors of the conspiracy
threatening the existence of France.
I hold myself at your disposition."
The letter caused muchi stir in the
lobbies of the senate.

cotton and( tobacco were a little cut
and fruit beaten off trees. The bulk of
the cotton crop has been sown, and
late-planted cotton is coming up well,
good stands being assured by recent
rains. Much corn is to be replanted,
but the condition of corn that is up is
much improved. Transplanting to
bacco has proceeded to some extent in
eastern and southern portions. Else
where plants are too small. Outside
the hail-stricken region, truck crops
have materially impioved. Shipments
of early vegetables are heavy. Fruit

western portions.
