Shaw of Klnston, 4be judgment of the court was that the defendants give bonds ranging from 1100 to $300, according to that* financial ability, for appearance at the January term, 1013, to show that they have been of good behavior and hare not engaged In the sale of liquor. VU | Thia disposition of the case does not meet with the approval of the | three private attorneys appearing for the prosecution, who are ont In a ' card explaining their position and declaring that the solicitor had violated an agreement by bringing pp the cases without farther conference with them. The card Is signed by Aaalgtant City Attorney George U Jeechau and ex-Mayor A. G. Rlcaud. Judge Ferguson, who-Is presiding at this term, had all the defendants to stand up and he mrffi fhetn a" brief 4**nre and Incidentally sated that conditions here certainly need improvement, the number of defendants for retailing Indicating as much. Solicitor Shaw gave two reasons j for accepting a nolo contendere. One was that he dSnbted being able to convict of this offense In New Hanover and the other was to give the defendant* an nnnnrtitnl?v ?? which they had said they wanted to do. The defendants and their friends are hilarious. However, this may be short' lived, because the private prosecution has already be run plans by whiefetit la hoped by them to have the defendants or some of than, in court acaia coon, in the event they violate the law.

Hoij to spend 9260,000 in charity is a problem that la too much for Charles A. Purcell. He la a malt dealer and executor of the will of hla sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary B. Purcell. She died In Los Angeles In 1911, leaving 9260,000 to relatives and 1260,000 to charity. "I'm absolutely at sea aa to what 1 should do with the money," sighed Purcell. "I never hesitated at a duty as I do at this one. ! wish I could get out of handling tue money. My. sister-in-law herself was at a loss as' to how best to spend it. She desired to aid charity, but didn't Know where to begin. It'a a bigger task than I care to assume, but I must. "I tried handing out money to the poor on Christmas, but got rid of^ Wily. $6,000. At that 1 worked hard for a month. I guess I'll have to build a home for abandoned infants. That lookB as if I might get rid of $100,000.
