We felicitate Mr. Jas. B. Lanier upon
the fortunate outcome of his damage suit
with W. J. Moore, of Chowan county. . A
year ago Mr. Lanier caused the arrest of
Moore, under the false pretense act, for
obtaining two barrels of whiskey upon a
draft which was dishonored by Hath-
away's Rank, in Edentou. Through the
disingeniousness of Hathaway, Moore
escaped conviction and immediately in
stituted a damage suit against the prose
cutor in Chowan county, laying his dam
age for malicious prosecution at $5,000.
Last week the case reached a hearing in
Eden ton and the jury promptly found for
thedefendant. This time Hathawav
revealed the whole fact and testified that
at the time the draft was sent to Lanier
all the moneys to Moore's credit in the
bank were already apportioned to the
payment ofchecks inthe banker's hands
Moore is noted for short cuts in business
I and general trickery, and had Hathaway
divulged the whole case, would have been
convicted and punished as a felon here,
a year ago.

It is to the honor of our state that
she will pay this year $80,000.00 to

abled, indignent Confederate Veterans.
This amount places her high on the
list of Southern states where crati-

Dropped Dead on the Jury.
Last week Mr. J. B. Lauier, accompan
ied by Hon. Chas. Price, his attorney,
went to Edenton to defend the case of
Moore vs. Lanier. During the trial of
the cause, and while Mr. Price was ad
dressing the jury, a negro juror fell dead
in his chair.
We are very thankful that Mr. Price
stauds well euough with the administra
tion to command a federal office, since
otherwise his dead shot might be classed
as another Southern outrage. Mr. Price
has always had grand rank for the power
of his advocacy but we have never known
it to be fatal before.

The republicans do not propose giving
up control of the House without a bitter
struggle, and as an aid in the fight they
have decided that the anti-gerrymander-
ing bill which provides that Representa
tives of the Fifty-first Congress shall be
elected from districts with the same
boundaries as those from which Repre
sentatives to the present Congress were
elected, must be passed. The committee
having the bill in charge has by a strict
party vote decided to favorably report
the bill. The democrats will make a
minority report against the measure.
Senator Hoar has been instructed by
the Senate committee on Elections to
draw up a mild sort of a federal election
bill. It will have to be very mild indeed
to stand any chance of ever becoming a
la' by the vote of the present Congress.
A sensation was created on the floor of
the House Friday by a few remarks made
by Representative Stone of Missouri,
while a batch of private pension bills
were being discussed. Stone said that
pension legislation wa3 despoiling the
people under the name of patriotism, and
denounced the demands of the G. A. R.
He also stated that at the last election
the presidency had been put up and sold
to the highest bidder. "Thank God,"
continued Mr. Stone, " there was one
grand man who declined to be a party to
such a sale. Though he fell, he fell bear

feelings by saying : " We can't admit

Only one meeting of the committee has
yet been held. Another is called for this

Senate.
There does not seem to bo any serious
