SLAUGHTER OF SQUIRES.
Over Tnree Thcraaand Fop. and Bep.
'Sqairea Will Not Be 'Squires.
A law was passed by the last Legisla
ture providing for the election of three
additional magistrates in each township,
their terms to commence on April 1st,
1895. Few. if any, of these magistrates
have qualified, and they cannot now do
so. The offices created are vacant be
cause of the failure of the persons elected
to qualify before the term began.
The power to appoint magistrates, to
fill vacancies caused by failure of those
elected to qualify, is vested in the Gov
ernor by chapter 288, Laws of 1885, and
he appoints for the full term of six
years.
It is too late now for any clerk to
qualify those appointed, and if they at
tempt to qualify them their acts will be
illegal.
Tne failure of the newly elected mag
istrates to qualify in time rids the people
of the burden of 8,600 unnecessary mag
istrates, and of about $25,000 for the
purchase of books, etc., for the new
magistrates, which the legislators in
tended to spend if they had known how.
The people will have to thank the
Lord, and not the Legislature, for rid
ding them of this burden which the
Legislature voted upon them.

The ignorance of some of the mem

To-day your correspondent saw the
name of our native State spelled Caro
liny in a bill in the Secretary of State's
office.
The Trinity College base ball team
was defeated here yesterday in a pretty
contest with the Wake Forest team by
a score of 11 to 7. Horner, a Balti

filled that position for Trinity. The
game was very exciting, and it looked
for a while like Trinity would come out
victorious.
Governor Carr has commuted the
death sentence of Billy McDaniel the
boy murderer, to -life imprisonment in

mendation of the Judge, Solicitor and
jury. He was given a respite a few weeks
ago.
Your correspondent learns that Mr.
D. S. Hutchins, superintendent of the
telegraph system of the Seaboard Air
Line, will to-day resign. Mr. Hutchins
is one of many prominent officials con
nected with the Seaboard, who has of
fered bis resignation since the Vice Pres

in one of the leading drug firms of this
city and in Lincolnton, died yesterday.
The Supreme Court has sustained the
decision of the Railroad Commission in
the case of Leavell vs. Western Union
Telegraph Company. Leavell com
plained of the charge of fifty cents for
the delivery of a telegram from Wil
son to Edenton. The company alleged
that it was necessary for the message to
go by Norfolk, thus making two connec
tions. The commission decided that 25
cents was an equitable charge and in
this they were sustained by tne Court.
Clerk of the Court for Wake county,
Dan Young, says he will qualify the ad
ditional magistrates appointed by the
Legislature whenever they appear be
fore htm. The law says they should
have qualified on April 1st, as 1 wrote
you. but their commissions did not ar
rive until the 3rd, because of the tardi
ness of the public printer in Winston. A
good many people are of the opinion
that the offices of the additional magis

informs your correspondent that the
Governor is inclined to look upon the
offices as vacant.

OPERA HOUSE. !
"Wang Presented to a Large Audience
Xiast zrunt A Pine Performance.
The great and only "Wang!" This
favorite opera was presented at the
Opera House last night to one of the
largest audiences of the season. During
the earlier part of the performance it
seemed to go a little slow, and applause
was slightly weak, but later on, especially
in the latter half, the warm enthusiasm
and heartiness of applause was greater
than usually experienced here. To say
that the piece was a success is half ex
pressing it. Mr. Albert Hart, as Wane,
took the leading part, and by his droll,
witty and irresistible sayings and
acting completely captured the audi
ence, and in tact. we think,
came very near to De Wolf Hopper's
interpretation of this character. He
was ably assisted by Miss Virginia Esrle
as the Crown Prince of Siatn. Miss
Florence Drake, as Marie, is indeed a
very fascinating milkmaid, with an un
usually charming voice. Frank Casey,
the Ethiopian Elephant Keener, and
Camm Nauvel, French Professor of
Etiquette, were much appreciated by the
audience. It is seldom that we see a
more graceful man than the latter on our
stage. Mrs. Marion Sieger, as the
widow, is a very sweet singer, and at
times delighted and surprised her
hearers.
"Wang," as every one knows, is one of
the greatest and best liked operas ever
put on the opera stage, and as presented
last night was far ahead of anything in
that line ever produced here. The
costumes were simply superb and fairly
dazzled in their magnificence and won
derful grotesqueness. It is hardly neces
sary to say that the music was catchy,
lively and exhilirating and was admir
ably conducted by Professor Frederick
Introp di, a gentleman well-known in
Southern cities as being connected with
Summer Opera.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
CONCERNING THE ASSIGNMENT ACT
PASSED BY THE STATE LEGIS
LATURE. Tne Law Applies Only to Conditional
Assignments and Deeds Made to Secure
Pre-Existing Debts.
Special Star Telegram.
Raleigh, N. C, April 5. The Su
preme Court has rendered a decision in
the case from Durham.
Judge Montgomery delivered the
opinion of the Court, which holds that
the Act is limited to conditional assign
ments, mortgages and deeds in trust,
made to secure pre-existing debts, and
that mortgages executed lor present con
sideration do not come within the ope
ration of the Act. Judge Avery dis
sented, holding that there was no prop
erly constituted case before the Court.
Judge Clark concurred.
By Sou hern Associated Press.
Raleigh, N. C April 5. The Su
preme Court of North Carolina has
construed the preference law as only
restricting the right to execute assign
ments, mortgages and deeds in trust, or
make conditional sales to secure pre
existing debts. Contemporaneous obli
eations may still be secured by such
liens on sales. Farmers will be greatly
embarrassed, however, by, the fact that
balances due for last year cannot still be
carried by their commission merchants
and secured with their notes for cur
rency advancements.
The Chief Justice. Justices Furches,
Clark and Montgomery agree upon the
decision. Justice Avery files a dissent
ing opinion, holding that no properly
constituted case was before the court.
Justice Clark concurs with Justice
Avery that the case was not properly
constituted.
This decision will have the effect of
putting a . stop to the withdrawal of
northern capital which bad been begun
upon the passage of the bill just con
construed. Mortgages will be valid as
under the old law, except as to pre-existing
debts. This decision puts an end to
the total prostration of the credit of the
State threatened by the Act.

C0TT0H IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Beoent Blse Will Change the Situa
tion Bat There Will Still Be a Re
duced Acreage of 25 Fer Cent, and a
Material Decrease'in Production.
The recent rise in the price of cotton,
says the Charleston News and Courier,
is having the expected effect on the
many good resolutions made by the
farmers two or three months ago that
they would greatly reduce the acreage of
the new crop. Our Greenville corres
pondent says that sixty days ago it would
have been safe to say that there would be
a reduction of 50 per cent, in the cotton
acreage in the country; that "cotton has
advanced in price, and the old song is be
ing sune that cotton is the only thing
that will pay debts." The result is that
instead of reducing the cotton acreage
50 ner cent, the reduction will not
amount to more than 10 to 15 per cent,
in Greenville county, and if the specula
tors would raise the price a few more
points and keep the market "active with
increasing demand for spot cotton" until
the planting season is well over, we
should not be surprised if the acreage
will be larger than that ot last year.
The reports which we publish to-day
from nearlv all the counties in the State,
as to the probable acreage devoted to
cotton growine this year, give a fair
view of the situation. It is generally
stated that there will be a reduction in
the acreage devoted to cotton. The es
timates vary widely. In some counties
it will probably amount to 50 percent.,
in others the reduction will not exceed
10 per cent.; 25 per cent, would probably
be a fair estimate for the State at large.
But whatever tne reaucuon in me
acreage, it is certain that there will be a
large decrease in production. The re
ports from all the counties agree that
there will be a large reduction in the use
of commercial fertilizers. In Aiken
county for example, it is reported that
there will be a reduction of 25 per cent,
in acreage and 50 per cent, in the use of
fertilizers; in Anderson county 16 per
cent, less cotton will be planted and 28
per cent; less fertilizers will be used;
in Newberry county there will be
so ner cent: less cotton planted and
40 per cent, less fertilizers used. In
Kershaw county it is reported that there
will be slight increase in cotton acre
age and a greatly decreased production
of cotton because of the falling off in
the use of fertilizers. The situation is
not as encouraging as it might be. But
the weather has been so unfavorable
that planting operations have been
greatly retarded and the prospects will
doubtless improve..
Farmers From Ohio.
The party of farmers from Ohio
(mentioned in the Star yesterday as on
their way South on a prospecting tour)
passed through this city yesterday after
noon at 5 o'clock en route to Cbadbouro,
Columbus county, N; C. There were
ninety-three in the party, travelling in a
special train of three Wagner-Pullman
coaches. They spent some time, yester
day at Mount Olive, on the Weldon
