Passed is Contrary To The Constitution. Efforts to test the validity of the aii n -jug law passed by the last Leg lat re took a slightly different urn yesterday when Mr. Murray Alien, attorney for George M. (isenn, started mandamus proceed ings against the Southern Express umpany, to compel that company to receive, transport and deliver to the plaintiff a package containing one gallon of whiskey. The pre -eedings were made returnable be fore Judge Daniels in this county in chambers on April 26, The fight on the law was initiated on Wednesday when Mr Allen, for the same client, instituted suit in .h, rnnrt of Tnstice of the Peace T. E. Owens to recover for one quart ' c lt -f whiskey which the Southern-Express Company had declined to de liver after having delivered a quart within fifteen days piior to this time. This case was decided against the plaintiff by Squire Owens Wed nesday. Ylsterday afternoon the judgment was signed and the case on appeal was docketed with the clerk of the Superior Court. The facts upon which the case are based are to the effect that on or about the 8th day of April, 1915, the plaintiff ordered by mail from a Richmond, liquor house, one gal lon of spirituous' liquors and accom panied the gallon order with $2.85, the purchase price. This was re ceived by the whiskey dealers and in pursuance of the acceptance of the order, tendered with the South ern Express Company for shipment to Glenn, a package containing one gallon of whiskey, with a statement showing the nature and the con- tents of Jth leack. aud witk Jhe n that the same was in- declaratio tended, according to the plaintiff., for his own personal use, and with a mark to this effect on the- pack age. Upon this, the defendant company refused to accept the package for shipment, quoting as authority for the refusal the recent ly passed statute governing the ship ment of whiskey and malt liquors, a statement of which had been fur nished the agent of the Express company from the headquarters of the company. The complaint drawn by the plain tiff declares that it is the purpose of the plaintiff to pursue his constitu iional right by hereafter purchasing from points where it may be. legally sold, whiskey for h.;s personal use, in quantities greater than one quart, and charges that by the rules adopt ed by the defendant company for the government of such shipments, the constitutional rights of the phintiff will be violated. " The said act of the General As semblv of North Carolina, " declares the complaint, "furnishes novalid legal ground for the refusal of the defendant company to accept said shipment of one gallon of whiskey."- And the complaiant then argues the unconstitutionality of the act on the grounds that lit "is "in viola tion of the plaintiff's fights secured to him by the Constitution of North Carolina, Article 1, Section 1, which provides that among the inalienable rights of all men are life, liberty and the enjoyment of the fruits of their own labor, and the pursuit. of happiness ; and Article 1, Section . wIik h provides that no person ght to be disseized of his liberties his priveleges or in any manner prived of his liberty or property t by the law of the land.

The most sepeetacular fire in Maxton's histo ry took place this afternoon at three o'clock when the entire plant, stock, buildings and machinery of the Bar-ber-Paschall Lumber Company was completely destroyed. The fife began in the concrete dry krfn which became a roaring fur nace in a few minutes. Before the welter could be turned on had spread from this to stacks of lumber ma chinery and boiler nouses and -tor age rooms, stables and one of the residences on the lot. Two freight cars of the Seaboard Air Line Rail way were destroyed, the only things saved being one residence, a part of thefsecond, the office and a small stable. ; . A new. planer and sawmill outfit had justbeen put in and these, too, became fire fodder. - The smoke at liraes'Cof'quTte a distance was so dense' that one could see but a few feet in any direction.

This news reached this city last night. - It appears that Deputy Collector C H. Haynes of-Surry and posse- man R. E. Hines were on a tourof inspection through Alleghany county, and when they 'arrived at a stream near the foot of Saddle mountian to; water their . horses, Mr. Haynes discovered a sack oof meal in the creek. Upon the) dis covery of the meal they began a search for the still, which they found further on up the -stream. . Here they found twenty one. bushels of meal, i,t 00 gallons xn beerahd five gallons. of Iqw wine which they des troyed. - They - found the . furnace f the sti.l quite hot .but cooEd not hnd-the still, as it kad been removed. i It appears that while they were searching for die still and -before) they had destroyed the vbeer -that ihey were fired - upon three time from ambush by-the-'blockaders," who, evidently hadtbeen' watching their movements. The officers re turned the fire and sileneedhe -am-bushers,' but whether any ;of them were wounded the officers coOWnt tell.

Whether a search will be- mad for the parties who owned the still and who fired upon-Mr. Haynes and Mr. Hines is not known, but it thought that some - definite . action will be taken by tlo United States authorities before this new chapter of Saddle mountain becomes his tory. ALL THE STORES DFvTfl7fi BUT ONE,;ARE;OESTR0iYED . 1 Middleburg, April 17, Middle burg was visited this morning iby the most disastrous fire in-the his tory of the town, which destroyed three of the four stores here. The origin of the fire is . unknown When first discovered, the whole of the first floor of Mr. L. A. Jackson's store seemed to be on fire. Mr, Jackson was sleeping on the second floor of the building and was awak eued by the fire, vhich had made such headway, that he had to es cape from the burning building by jumping from the second' story win dow. The wind was-blowing north west and swept' the ftamefc to Mr; H. M. Church's stofe building that stood some twenty feet away, and from thaLit spread to-Stewart Com pany's store. Mr. jacicson gave -tne alarm as soon as he awoke, and passing freight train awoke the comm-Aoity with repeated blata from Ibent bisl tie.

Harry Kendall Thaw was ordered back' to the state hospital : for 'tht crimnil tnsane ati Klatteawaa twUf.by the appeilate (division of the. New York Supreme court. . 1 In an opinion concurred in by .all the justices, the court affirmed the jleniat by8irrceme- Court -Justice' I'age, of amotion, to return Thjw to the jurisdiction of the, state of New Hampshire whcnccJic was ex tradited to stand trial for conspir ing to escape from' the Matteawan asylum and ruled that the orlfinxl orde. committing .him to the insti futlon was still valid. Plans are beiog formulated lo take the case to the .state court of appeals. A decision adverse to Thaw came as a great surprise to pis counsel. The order carried With it the provision that. Tha could could -not be. taken from New York county until five days ha,ye elapse!. The writ of habeas corpur -sworn out in Thaw's behalf after. h-was acquitted of the charge of conspira cy is finally., rcXurAable Monday. At that -time counsel mill present ar guments urging that. their client be granted permission to hare a jury determine his present raehtal con dition. Should a decision n favorable, t o Thaw be forthcoming by Wednes day, the state will have theffight to return him to Matteawau forthwith, providing his counsel shall ootiliave obtained a stay of execution in-toc order coujmttiiug Uuu to Xlsltea wan, pending appeal. Thaw 'hiui self refused tonight to Comment on' the court's action. ' ' The opinion of the appellate dU vision ras written lyjisnce Uotcb- leiss and bcott. JusuceMcLasrli- Jin, Clarke and Ingrharn concur) -ed. The opinion beran by . sketch ing the case of Thaw from the time Stanford W-hite wis lulled mttd Thaw was extradited, and went -on to say that the motives, which may have influenced those who obtained Thaw's return to this state have nothing to do with the cane, and that he may be discharged only when by due process of Isw he shall have been ascertained to he sane. All thiugs considered, that part of the opinion written by Justice Scott assert 6, the fact remains that Thaw is now in this state and there is valid commitment against hioiiior his rest ra int. a aptixson of unbound mind. The opinion concludes s follows: 'It may be that the state would be well rid of so troublesome a guest, and that in view ofibie ac quittal it is 10 be regretted that hav ing once left it he was brought back, but that it is not a matter for ju dicial consideration. All that , we have to consider is his right to.be discharged from the lawful; out stacdit: commit ment to J Lit tea. wan, and it seems to me clear that he had 00 such right. Certainly, if we were to release him from. the, re straining effect of the commitment, we have no power to compel hisde portation, but must release him un conditionally, leaving it to him to determine whether he will go or stay."
