IMPORTANT LAW "POINTS.
1 Litigation in Progress in United
states Court. -
ueiore the special term of United
States District; court adjourned last
week Judge Boyd 6ard" argument by
attorneys on some very important law.
points, in which many' people are cop-
cernea. The cases are what are called
sci ias against forfeited 'bonds of de
fendants m thV courts, as well as on
distillers and tobacco manufacturers.
They run back for.a period of twenty
and thirty years. . - ,
These cases are against sureties on
bonds, against whom nothing could be
collected at the time of the forfeiture
after judgment absolute was taken
against them and execution run out.
; For a year or more the -government
has had officers examining the tax lists
and deed books of every county in
which one of these former insolvent
sureties lived, with the result that
when one was found to have accumu
lated property as he grewiolder, a new
execution was issued against him and
in i many instances the Amount has
been paid on a fair .compromise.
It is said that one of the wealthiest
men in this section paid oved $1,800
recently on compromise to escape the
penalty of a $5,000 bond he - signed
while he was a young man, for the to"
bacco manufacturer for whom he was
working at a salary of $30 a month. :.
A great many others have paid . up.
The amounts generally range from' $200
to $500. But many of the bondsmen,
rather than pay, joined together, aud
retained ex-Judge Bynum, of Greens
boro, and Mr. Mull, an attorney of
Morgan ton , to test the cases for them.
The total amount involved is said to be
over $30,000.
A case will be carried up to the Unit
ed States Circuit court of Appeals, in
Richmond, for a decision. -
r Farmers Institutes.
Farmers' Institutes will be held in
