To Look After Flood Sufferers. : A dispatch" from ' Washington last last week says:?-!" i.' -vrj.5V Representative H. L. Godwin has final succeeded In inducing the Sec retary of War to send an army officer to Bladen, Cumberland and Harnett counties, in hls district, for-tho pur pose of making another examination of the destitute condition of the peo ple Along. the Cape Fear, who suffered by the .flood last Fall. , The secretary promises to come to the relief of all persona m destitute circumstances and it is thought that as much as 830,000 will be distributed among the : people along the" Cape Fear in the three counties for the purpose of purchasing such supplies as corn, oats, and such' seeds as will produce early forage crops." : v. Representative Godwin names C. W. Lyon, of Bladen; Q. K. NImocks, of Cumberland,, and J. D. Barnes, of Har nett, -as -suitable persons to be con sulted by the army officer, and he suggests Wilmington, Fayettevllle, and Dunn, as places, where, the supplies can be purchased. n ' All persons who are in destitute cir cumstances, and need food or cloth ing for their families, or food for their farm 'stock, or seed to be planted on thd .: farm,- should make it known at once to the above named persons. The Raleigh News and Observer ft today has the following dispatch from its Greensboro' correspondent: - "United States District Judge James Boyd made an announcement, in open court in the trial of a negro for alleged sale of liquor, which practical ly shuts the door on future prosecu tions in the Federal court for retail ing without license. - , ., ' "The same construction of the law by State judges- and local Judicial au thorities .will undoubtedly go tar to wards making It impossible to convict blind tigers" or other violators .of the State law prohibiting the Bale or manufacture of liquor in North Caro lina, ... . K 'Judge Boyd announced from the bench that in future, he should hold as a matter of law that where a wit ness, testified that he had purchased liquor from' the ' defendant that, wit ness was indictable as an aider and aWttocJn the commission of a vio lation of the law; that the violation of; the law. against retailing without a 41cense was a misdemeanor, . and since in misdemeanor, alders' ! and abettors were guilty as principals, he should hold that purchasers of liquor were equally guilty with .the seller. .. . (n the case on trial Judge Boyd or dered that one of the principal wit nesses be held in custody from day to day" during the court and directed the District Attorney to send "a bill against him. " Tho witness was allowed free dom by giving a bond of two hundred dollars. . Later when the jury brought in. a -verdict of "not guilty" in the case on trial, Judge Boyd stated that sinoe this ."very righteous verdict" had been rendered, It wOuld not" be necessary to hold the witness furth er, because the jury having said that the defendant had not sold any liq uor to witness, it would not be prac tical to convict the witness of having bought It from the defendant" .

'-, ,,, ihm Government to Make Soli Survey. ; By telegraph to Obseirer. , : 'J,,'l,"' ; Washington, D." C.,- April .13. Con gressman H. L. Godwin has secured an order from the Bureau of Soils for a survey of another county in his district. During the past two years be has had a survey made of Robeson county, and the map and report will be available tor distribution within a few weeks. The order for the new survey- is for Cumberland ' county, which wilt be undertaken about -the first of July of this year. 1 ' ; It Is a very difficult matter to get agreements with the Bureau of Soils to undertake surveys Of counties on account of the tact that there are so many applications from .members ' of Congress throughout the country for these surveys. Mr. Godwin Is deeply gratified at the fact that he has se cured the promise for this survey to be started early this summer. It will take about two years to make the sur vey, and will require 85,000 to com plete, the work,' which amount the Bu reau of Soils has appropriated for this purpose, v; The Department will send a corps of engineers there to survey every acre of land In the county' and make- examination of the soil; the re port and survey will be published In book form, and there will also be pub lished a large map of the county, which will afford a complete method of advertising the county. . Full Informa tion and , particulars in reference to the work will be given out when the corps of engineers go to Cumberland to begin the work. ' Not only has Mr." Godwin been un ceasing in bis efforts for Cumberland and Robesonbut he is also making an effort to get the Bureau of Soils to agree to .undertake surveys in the other counties- of his district" He hopes at some time in the near future to be able to begin this work in the other counties.
