The , Fayetteville Waterworks Company, . the bondholders of which are New Jet sey people, applied to Judge Bryan to hay the case removed to the Federal I court in order to ask t dismissal ofthe receivership. The bondholders being a New Terser corporation, out of the State, and ithe amount involved being over $2,000, Judge Bryan, as required ' by law, made the order for the hearing '. In the Federal court, I "The matter has been before the I Federal court for some time, and yesv 4 terday a hearing was held before Judge Purnell.

J ; : The following important decision has been made by Judge Simonton, as given out from Lis Haleijfh" correspond enee by Col. Fred Oldci "Judge Simonton, of the United States Circuit Court, hsa made perma nent the temporary injunction which ths Wrstern Union Telegraph Compa ny secured against State Treasurer Lacy to prevent ths latter from oolleot ing a privilege tax of 26 cents per mile of wire in North Carolina. The Judge says: 'The Western Union is organised under the laws of New Yoik, has been engaged very many years in transmitting messages in and through the States, and as to its busioesi be tween States is an Instrument in inter State commerce, as already deoided. In North Carolina it does a large buei ness, inter-State and intra State, the former predominating generally over the latter. The Company has hereto fore eomplied with the laws of North Carolina, made returns required, and paid the tax levied nnder assessment made, notwithstanding said taxes are very heavy, and notwithstanding doubts as to the mode ot assessment, fiaoently the Legislature edaoted that there shall be paid by every telegraph company doing buaineaa in tb State an annual license tax equal to 25 cents on eaob mile ot wire operated within the Stale. The orooial question is, is the statue which imposes a tax as gen eral license tax npon a telegraph com pany doing both inter State and intra state business for the privilege of doing business in the State a valid tax oris it a burden on inter-State oommercet This subject is exhaustively discussed in a very reoent decision ot the Su preme Court, in Allen vs. Pullman Palace Car Company. It is there held that snch a lioense imposed for doing business was a bnrden npon inter-State oommeroe, there being no words limit ing it to intra-State business. These authorities are a part of a long line of deeisioos expounding the same doe trine. This seems to settle the ques tion.' "This decision was not unexpected by the State omoials." The Wilnuagtoa VastefflM. The Wilmington 8tar of Sunday gives as follows what is probably tbs finality of the long-eonteeted Wilming ton posteffoe: "An Associated Press dispatch from Washington last night annoonoed the appointment of Toomas E. Wallace as postmaster at Wilmington. It is the end of a lone story, with wbiob the public is only too familiar, and the telegram reads as follows: " 'The President has settled the eon test which arose over the Wilmington, N. C , postoffie by the appointment of T. S. Wallace as postmaster. Miss Darby is the present inonmbent, and was a oandidate tor riappointment. An effort was made a short time ago to secure the appointment for Mrs. Buss ell, wife ot former 3overnor Russell, bnt it failed. Wallace, it is under stood, has the baoking of T. 8. Rollins, chairman of the Republican State Committee, and of the Republican or ganisation generally.' "This appointment will give general satisfaction in the oommunity at large. During the long wrangle over the place, Mr. Wallace's demeanor has been that of calm, silentjodifferenoe. When the obstaolee were out of the way, he modestly renewed his Isuit, and went to Washington to press his elaims for the position. His oonrao in the whole affair was endorsed, influential back ing outside ot the States was secured, end'lt became known weeks ago that the contest wis practically deoided in his favor." rayettsvlUe Interests Talae of a friendly Oongrsaamaa.

Mayor and Aldermen ot City of rayettevillei We, the undersigned, subscribers to tbe telephone system and exchange, which la doing business in this city under the name ot the "Carolina Tele phone and Telegraph Co.," a corpora tion existent and acting under a franchise accorded by your honorable board, desire to set forth that the servioe being rendered by said eorpo ration, is now, and has been for some time past, a most unsatisfactory one. Further, that tbe promises made of improvsd service, in answer to many complaints, privately and publioly made, nave not been realised. Oar oitisens are paving nrobab v $800 per month to' an indifferent and faulty service, and tbis, in onr opinion. should entitle tbem to more eonsidera tioo and a better servioe in every way. We respectfully ask that the Iran ehlse of tbe said "Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Co." be revoked, that tbe way may be opened for a new local company, wbiob we think oan easily be formed, wbioh will, at the same rate, or lower, give a more aatistaotory servioe in every way to our oitisens.

Holding on 10 your property requires nearly as much wisdom and work aa it does to make it. The evil practice of go ing on bonds has caused the wreck of many a well-to-do property owner. That was the old way. The new way is: Bend all bond applicants to ns. It is our busi ness to make bonds ; it is yonrs OT to make tbem Profit by the past misfor tunes f others The modern business man wise y "tnrns down" every request to go on bonds; it hurts his credit.
