SUIT AGAINST CITY.
Bis: Case on Trial in the United
'Circuit Court.
States
Judge Boyd convened a special term
of United States Circuit court in ihls
city Monday morning and immediately
toook up the case of the Southern Pav
ing andoDstruction Company against
the cltjr of Greensboro, "this being a
suit for the recoVfery of a' balance of
about $13,000 alleged to be due under
contract for the paving of South Elm
street. The cfry is resisting the pay
ment on the ground that the work was
done improperly and is setting up a
counter claim of $12,000 against the
paving company for violating the
perms of the contract.
in an amended answer to the bill of
complaint the attorneys for t,he city
charged that Mr. W. G. Potter, who
was cily enginear at the time the work
was done, and who passed on the work
as the city's agent, was either deceived
by the paving company orentered Into
a collusion to defraud the city.
Just before the adjournment of court
yesterday afternoon Judge Boydj made
a ruling on the admissibility, of certain
evidence that practically knocked the
props from under the city's case. It is
apparent that a verdict will be rendered
against the city, in which event the
case will doubtless be carried" to the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
The paving company is represented
by Judge W. P. Bynum, Jr., and Wil
son & Fergusoci. City Attorney Shaw
is assisted by Msj.Chailes M.Stedman
and Mr. 'E J. Justice. ' ;
The peciaKeroi of the Circuit jcourt
will be followed by the regular April
term of District court, during which
will be tried the eases against the noted
Smitbtown blockaders. 'if the grand
jury should return a true bill,. Jim
Smith and Oacir Sisk' will b&tri-:d for
the murder of Revenue Officer Hen
dricks, in the Smithtown aeighber
hood, last December.
TO MAI! AGE CAMPAIGN. "
J. C.-Kennetf to Have Charge of the rro
x hiDltion Forces In the County. 'r.
Mr. John C. Kennett, of Pleasant
Garden, one of Guilford's best known
citizens, has been elected secretary of
the central committee and will direct
the work of the prohibition forces in
this county in the impending cam
paign. He has opened headquarters
in the law offlse of Mr. T. J. Murphy,
in court square, and will proceed at
once to perfect an organization in every
township in the county. Mr. Kennett
is a man of wide experience in cam
paign work and will give a good
account of himself in the contest that
will end with the election of May 26th.
It is the purpose of the committee to
perfect an organization in every town
ship in the county and arrange fcr
speakings at central points. Judge
Jeter C. Pritchard, who is taking an
active part in the campaign, has ac
cepted an invitation to make a prohi
bition address in this city within the
next few weeks, and whilelio date has
been decided upon, it is understood
that be will speak in the Grand opera
house on a Saturday afternoon. Ex
Govern orAy cock has agreed to fill a
Sunday engagement, the date to be
announced later.
So far the ''anti-prohibitionists in
Guilford have been' inactive, but there
are indications that they will "get
busy" in the near future. It is report
ed that a live and energetic Citizen of
Greensboro, a gentleman who has a
wide acquaintance throughout the
county, has consented to take charge
of the anti-prohibition campaign in
this county. Mr. A. H. Boyden, the
mayor of Salisbury, who has charge of
the anti-prohibition forces in the state,
was in Greensboro a lew a ays ago loos
ing for a campaign manager.
Judge Boyd has signed an order con
firming the report of W. U. iirwin,
special master, in the case of the Im
plement and Supply Company, of
Statesville. The matter was pending
upon tbe petition of the Walter A.
Wood Company to have certain notes
in tbe bands of the trustee in bank
ruptcy turned over to the said corn
pany orvthe ground that these notes
had been pledged as security for the
pnrchasemoney for machinery sold to
the bankrupt company. Judge Boyd
overruled the petition and adjudged
that the notes belonged to the estate of
thfTbankrupt.

To Meet in Joint Debate.
Solicitor A. Ii. Brooks has accepted
an invitation to meet Prof. J. Allen

are that the debate will be heard by a
large and interested crowd. This will
be the first joint political discussion
heard in Greensboro in quite a while,
and the fact that the debate will be
between Democrats will add addi-
tional interest to the event.
