C. ROSCUE W. TURNER, Mortgagee . This February 2nd 1910. ft SUBMIT OR G . BUSINESS", A New Ordinance to be t enacted Making it a Misdemeanor to Sell Milk Fro n an Uninspec ted Cow in This City. The Aldermen and the dairymen are having lots of trouble over the or dinance requiring the inspection of dairy cows. The dairymen have re fused to submit to the inspection for two; and the Aldermen are deter mined that they shall submit, even if they do lose a cow or two, or they shall go out of the dairy business altogether . It was announced that on the be ginning of the year that Dr. Christ man, the state veterinarian would come to this city for the purpose of making the inspection, the dairy men refused to agree to inspection, the trip was abandoned and 30 days the matter rested at that. But the Aldermen do not propose to give up the fight for pure milk, and the abso lute knowledge that it is pure, so easily, so they planned how they circumvent the bull hMgfld-LC&r, ness of the dairymen At the meeting of the board last Monday night, a committee composed of D. B. Bradford, N. R. Parker, W. L. Cohoon, the city attorney, Dr. C. B. Williams, the health officer and Dr. Zesas Fearing, 'the majter to draft an ordinance making it a mis. demeanor to sell milk from ah un inspected cow in this city . This com mittee will prepare the ordinance in the near future and it will become a law. There is a state law which em- P"wer Uie municipal auiuonues iu and the Aldermen are proceeding un- yea"3 ago I started to u-e Toleyp der this law to enact these ordinance Honey and Tar, and it has never fail which compel the inspection! As to prevent and-rcure thes troubles soon as this new ordinance becomes effective the dairymen will either have to comply with the ordinance in regard to the inspection or go out of the dairy business or incur repeated Penalties for selling milk from an uninspected cow. The first of these alternates is the most practical, the second one will do, if the dairymen still refuse to submit, but the third one will be found exceedingly expen sive. The Tar Heel stands for the pro tection of the public health, although this protection is secured by the sacrifice of a few old consumptive cows, whiph send into the homes of the rich and poor indiscrimnately death of the most terrible type. We have no fight with our dairy friends, and we gladly number them as our best friends, but we stand with the Aldermen in their efforts to protect the public against deseased milk and meats. The public should be thankful to the Aldermen for there efforts and should stand squarely with them in the fight to secure the inspection.

Steger of West Norfolk, Va. " I here. by give notice to all persons indebt ed to his estate to come forward and make immediate settlement' and those holdihg claims against the same to present them for payment within twelve months from the date of this notice, or it will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. JOHN WILLIAMS TEGER, Executor West Norfolk, Va. Feb. 4 1910. Feb 11 6t - ;. FebJf BE TRIED JUDGE CONNOR SEND THE CASE TO ELIZABETH CITY, AND IT WILL BE TRIED IN APRIL TERM OP FEDERAL COURT. Mr. Aydlett scored a victory in this case last week. It will be re membered Brown brought this suit at Raleigh in the Tj. 8. court, which is the same as he brought in New York and the. same he had set up in his counter claim in Pasquotank court in the suit Mr. Aydlett brought against him. ' On motion of Mr.. Aydlett las week, Judge Connon removed the case from Raleigh to B. City for trial in April. It looks like the case will soon be heard, unless Mr. Brown- does a he did in Pasquotank case, withdraws it, when the suit is pressed for trial. Brown seems to be a good bluffer, but when Mr. Aydlett, forces a trial he plays the baby and with draws his case. This is not the way people who have a just cause act . Mr. Aydlett said when this suit was instituted against, him Brown had no just cause against him and all he wanted was a trial, when he would show the suit was only toa.rm and annoy and totally void of justice, and Brown has no just comolaint against Waj, SAFE AND SOUND The report became general here the first of the week that Captain Scott Quidley and son John Quidley had been drowned in Pamlico while engaged in carrying net stakes ia a small vessel from Wysockin, Hyde County, Mann's Harbor. The schooner left Wysockin last Saturday, a week ago, and the run was only ahout three hours. Th-j vessel failed to arrive at her destina tion and apparently disappeared from the face of the waters. Sailors coming here the latter part of last week reported! the missing vessel and that an over.turned craft had been found in the route of Captain Quidley vessel. These reports caused a great deal of uneasiness to Captain Twiddys family who reside here. They had become convinced that they had been drowned, when Wednesday morning the captain and his son came sailing into port in perfect health.
