BROWN WRITES OPINION OF THK COURT. The North Carolina Supreme Court has J ait handed down a de cision which no doubt will be read with interest by all our citizens and it would pay everyone to carefully peruse R. The opinion follows: vs. Wlllkun?. Craven County. Afiirmed. Brown. J. Among the criminal esses decid ed by the Supreme court yesterday is the Importsnt case of Bute vs. .Will isms from Craven county. This esse brings forcefully to public attention snd enforces a law which has been oftentlmee overlooked by publlo officials, but which i? neces sary for food government. The Re vlMl Qt 1905, section SC7I. provides |as follows: "If any person, appointed or elected a commissioner or directer to discharge any trust wherein the state or sny county, city or town msy be in sny manner interested, shall become sn undertaker, or make any contract for his own ben efit, under such suthorfty. or be in sny manner concerned or interested in making such contract, or In the profits thereof, either privately or openly, singly or jointly with anoth er. he shall be guilty of a misde meanor." This provision wai sub stantially enacted in 1825, but whether the law haa been scrupu lously obeyed or has gone Into "In nocuous deeutide" is a matter of OfQjecture," says the court. Mr. Williams was an alderman of the city of New Bern, and also pres ident and stockholder In the New Bern Iron Works and was convicted of violating the law given above. A contract was entered, into between the city of New Bern and the Iron Works but Mr. Williams took no part in the making, auditing or paying of the contract. Judge Brown In the opinion for the Su preme court says. "While we are glad to concede that there Is no ev idence of moral turpitude upon the part of the defendant, we cannot concur with his counsel that a find ing to that effect is necessary to conviction, and that the act does not extend to an officer of a corpor ation, when the dealing is between the corporation nnd the municipal ity." The court does not decide the question whether a person who is merely a stockholder of a company dealing with a municipality of which he is an officer would be guil ty of violating this law, because in the present case Mr. Williams was president and director and also manager of the mechanical depart ment of the shop of the Iron Works as well as city alderman. The court further decides that It Is immaterial whether the defend ant hat! actual knowledge of the transaction and the fact that he re tired from the aldermanic meeting when the bill was presented and paid is also immaterial. Again the court decided that it is not necessary that the defendant di rectly profited by the contract. t"he fart that he occupied a public of fice and also was an official of the company dealing with the city makes him guilty of violating the law. The opinion In this case is a very clear exposition of the law covering such cases, snd It doubtless will furnish the precedent for all simi lar cases. Mrs. Bell Deitd. Mr. David W. Bell received a 'phone message this morning frotr his former home, Wlldwood, N. C. announcing the death of his motbei Mrs. Margaret Bell, at that place thla morning at 7 o'clock.

In the display made by this rail-| oad there are many features that far outclass the showings ira?e: rom any other section of the South, j >ne of the strongest factors ana | ne that attracts the greatest at-1 entlon among the visitors from the' Uddle Western states is the llber 1 display of rich black aoils, taken rom the wonderfully fertite tertlca I southeastern Virgin! and NOrtn Carolina.
