Two new voting distriefs were
created last night at a meeting of

was announced In the offices of
Chairman S. C. Brawley. '.'

negro cemetery, at Fcs-sythe's store.
rhls precinct will poll about 60 or
75 votes. The other will be at Lake-
wood park, t.'je necessity for which
has ben caused by the rapid growth
of that Important suburb of the city
since the last regulations were made.
About 100, votes will be polled in
4hls precinct, the voting place to be

Interesting Cases '
b Supreme Court
Raleigh, Sept. 13. The Supreme
court devotes this week to appeals
from the third district, of which
there are 1C, two of these being state
cases, and of general Interest, both
coming from New Bern. In one case
a member of the board of city com
mlmloners was Indicted, cbargd vith
being a stockholder in a company
with which the commissioners made
a contract for supplies on behalf of
the city. In the other coae the city
commissioner was Indicted as being
an employe of the company with
which the contract was roado. The
attorney general takes the view that
the man who was a ittockholder of
the company violated In spirit th
i
statute which lorblds ofTclals fro
making contracts with firms In which
they are Interested. In the case of
tho employe the attrrnrv general
takes the view that his being merely
an employe did not make him nltcr-
ested to such an extent as to be In
violation of the statute.
