i here is a great deal of contention
about the will of the late Dr. W. J. Haw
kins, who was probably Raleigh's wealth
iest citizen at the time ot his death. His
widow dissented from it several weeks
ago claiming as her&share a dower. Last
Winter the day before Dr. Hawkins left
for the North to be operated upon, he
attached a codicil to his will giving to
his son Colin M. Hawkins 810,000. How
ever there was only one witness present
at the time and the Clerk of the Court
could not probate it. The executors
also decline to recognize the codicil.
Now Mr,' Colin Hawkins makes adver
tisement; that he will claim the amount
and summons all interested parties to
appear at next term of court.

interesting injunction, case.
The Question of the Validity of the Reve
nue Act Hsued.
At. the hearing befoie Judge Star-
buck, at Durham, on Saturday, says the
News and Observer, of the case of the
Range' Company against J. A. Carver,
sheriff of Person county, the question
of the validity of the Revenue Act was
raised by the plaintiff's counsel and the
certificate of the Secretary of State pro
duced, snowing that there was no evi
dence of its ratification in the original
bill.
Mai. W. A. Guthrie, counsel for the
State, asked the court to reserve its opin
ion and allow him to reply to the argu
ment of the counsel of plaintiff bv brief.
The Major says that the Constitution
does not require that the ' bill bear anv
other evidence of its ratification than the
signatures of the presiding officers of
both branches of the Legislature and
quotes the section of the Constitution
bearing on that point.
ne also raises the point as to the right
ot tne secretary ot state to nullity an
act after it bas been published over his
certificate of correctness, by another cer
tification alleging that the first cer
tification was an error. He also seeks
to show that the certification in each vol
ume of the acts of 1895 is not in accord
ance to the requirement of the law as
laid down in the Code but that it only
certifies to the manuscript and not to the
act as printed and does not say that they
are published under his direction.
A Useful Ceurr Calendar.
A complete and admirably arranged
calendar of all the regular terms of courts
to be held in North Carolina during the
next two years has been prepared by
Messrs. A. B. Andrews, Jr., and W. T.
Smith, two of Raleigh's promising young
lawyers, who have favored the Star
with a copy. The calendar is prepared
upon a plan which has been used by Mr.
F. H. Busbee tor many years, tor bis
own convenience and is revised by him,
and is, he thinks, entirely correct.
A letter accompanying the calendar
says:
"On account of the conflict of differ
ent acts considerable confusion may
arise in the Seventh district. Cumber
land county was given the week which
had previously been given to Bladen
As the Constitution declares that every
county shall have at least two terms an
nually, and as Cumberland had five
other terms, this part of the act Mr.
Busbee thinks is invalid, and therefore
Bladen's court is scheduled on the
seventh Monday after the first Monday
in March as heretofore. A failure to
refer all the courts to the first Monday
in March and September is to be re
gretted.
NAVAL MILITIA.
The Monitor Amphitrite to Take the Boys
on Their Annual Practice Cruise.
A press telegram to the Star last
night, from Washington, D. C, says :
"Orders were telegraphed from the
Navy Department to-day, directing Capt.
Wise, of the double-turretted monitor
Amtkitrite, to proceeed to Wilming
ton. N. C Charleston, S. C, and Bruns
wick, Ga., to take on board the naval
militia organizations of the three States
named for their annual practice cruise,
in conjunction with officers and men ot
the regular navy. The Department was
in somewhat of a quandary up to yes
terday as to what vessel to assign to the
duty and had turned the matter over to
acting Admiral Bunce, of the North
Atlantic station, fortunately, how
ever, the Amphitrite put in at Lam
bert's Point, near Norfolk, yesterday
afternoon, and was held there by the
Department until orders assigning her
to naval militia service could be pre
pared. The Amphitrite will go out next
week on her assignment and will take
the organizations from each state sepa
rately or together, as Capt. Wise may
see fit.

THE
CAROLINA MUTUAL
Fire Insurance Company,
of Charlotte, N. C.
The CAROLINA MUTUAL is a
strong NORTH CAROLINA Com
pany. It is, however, a stock com
pany, and issues absolutely non-participating
and non-assessable poli
cies. Its mutual feature consists In
a charter provision, that one-third of
its directors must be' POLICY
HOLDERS who are NOT stock
holders elected by the POLICY
HOLDERS; this is a very strong
point, the policy-holders .who have
great interests at stake, have a share
in the management of the Company,
and will always snow its condition.
Better than this, the CAROLINA
MUTUAL deposits all premiums re
ceived at this agency to their credit
With the WILMINGTON SAVINGS
AND TRUST COMPANY. This
makes It practically a local company.
The directors of the company are :
P. M. BROWN.
Of Brown, Weddmgton & Co..
Wholesale Hardware.
E. B. SPRINGS.
Of E. B. Springs & Co.,
Fertilizers and Wacons.
m; P. PEGRAM.

SAM'L E. WHITE.

J. T. ANTHONY,

JOHN W. MILLER,

HERIOT CLARKSON,
Of Clarkson & Duls, Att'ys-at-Law.
These gentlemen stand among the
wealthiest and most successful business
men of North Carolina, and their names
are a guarantee of the Company s
honesty, conservatism and success. We
heartily recommend the company to tne
property owners of Wilmington. We
also represent other good companies.
and do a general, insurance business.
