OCTOBER 8, 1903 THE ' REVENUE CASES AND THE BLOCK- - ADING BUSINESS The federal court now in session, in Greensboro Is engaged in a patient and exhaustive effort to find and establish the truth in regard to the charges ' that ; have been made against various revenue officers for dereliction of duty. These charges embrace the making . of false returns by the offi cers, and collusion with blockaders. . The particular case now under con sideration is that against G. "W. Samuels of Wilkes county, and is re garded as a test case. District At torney Holton and Assistant District Attorney Price are prosecuting, and C. B. Watson, ex-Governor Aycock, ex-Judge Bynum, ex-Judge Adams and J. W. McNeill are appearing for the defendant. It is a strong array of legal talent, and the case ' is being fought every inch of the Way. Judge Boyd is presiding, and he is proceed ing with great care and patience, and judicial consideration and dignity. It is. an interesting case. The writer was In the court room at Greensboro several hours yesterday morning, and listened to the evidence of; several of hhe witnesses for the government. It may be that what we saw ahd heard Is a customary thins n federal courts, and f it is we dp not wonder that it is a difficult matter to control the bloc'-ading business. With all - the i wMdom of the judges,, the hst light th3 p.olcst law vers It is the duty of the revenue officers to put the blockaders out of business, and it is a fact that they do not al ways do their duty. . We do not at tempt to say how it is in the present cases, but the evidence clearly in dicates to our mind that these cases might have grown out of collusion on the part of the blockaders to put the revenue officers : out of busi ness. It is an unpopuar business, this being a revenue officer. The popular side Is to criticise and even abuse the men who are charged with the discovery and destruction of block ade distilleries. The press and the public are accustomed to charge them with offensive activity in politics revenue doodler" is a term synony mous ' with all that is corrupt and rotten in politics and the district at torney has been lauded for- his ac tivity in securing cases against some of them. For this he has received more praise than for all the tJlock aders he has been instrumental in con victing during his entire ,encumbency of,; his present office, which is about eight years'. it is claimed that the district "attor ney has the e.'irnest support and back ing of the department of justice in Washington, in his prosecution of the present cases against revenue dood lers. It is also claimed in North Caro lina that Mr. Holton is having a warm time to save his official head, and there, be. those who think he is depending on his efforts to convict other officers to win and secure a re appointment. In this aspect of the case the remarkable spectacle of one branch of the government turned against another is presented. If this is open defiance of the revenue offi cers in their wonted control of patron age, as is freely intimated, we believe there are interesting times ahead. We do not believe Collector Duncan and pther leaders of the Republican party in the state will yield control. The fight in the party ranks will be sharp ly accentuated. However, aside from the political phase of the question, which is in teresting, he hope the truth will be brought to. the attention of the court and jury in the cases under considera tion at Greensboro, and that no guilty man shall escape. At the same time we cannot see' where society, the state and the government will be ereatlv ' FIGHT OVER COTTON MILL MCGuire of Richmond, Va., almost as famous in Europe as he was in this country, used to give it as his deliberate WILL NOT ACCEPT opinion, both in conversation and in his ' Republican Nominee for Mayor or lectures before the students of his medical college in Richmond, that the New York Will Decline New York.

Drewry, su perintendent of the Central State Hos pital for the colored insane at Peters burg, Va., shows figures on the increase of insanity and various kinds of mental diseases among the colored race that are surprising ,even to those persons who have long been aware of the grow- richest man on earth for a $2,000,000 ransom. Pat Lynch, who has stood guard at the entrance of the Rockefeller home for years and is at the head of the police system about the extensive es tate, said today: "Crowe may! have thought that the task would be an easy one, but I know better. No, I an not armed, but know that even had the thugs got me and put me out of thp way it would have been impossible for them to enter the house.

Judge Pritchard Makes Important Order in Laurens Mill Case Asheville, N. - C, Oct. .7. Special. Judge J. C. Pritchard of the United States circuit court today made an important order in the case of S. M. Milliken and others against, W. E. Lu cas and others, a litigation for the con trol of the Laurens, S. C, cotton mills, a million-dollar corporation of which Mr. I Lucas is president and which he and 'his friends control, but which Mr. Milliken and his friends very much de sire to control. The order of Judge Pritchard was the granting of . an in junction restraining the defendants, W. E. Lucas et al., from proceeding further1 in the state courts of South Carolina and with interfering with Milliken and others. . The injunction granted by Judge Pritchard does not undertake to inter fere with or restrain the state courts, but simply the parties to Milliken vs. Lucas cause. It is said that the re straining order of Judge Pritchard will, in effect, tie the hands of Mr. Lucas and his friends i:a prohibiting Milliken and his friends from voting a certain block of 500 shares of stock of the Leu rens cotton mills, which it is claimed by one, of the attorneys for Mr. Milli ken, who is here, will be voted and which will give Mr. Milliken control of the mills. ' The remains of P.. S. Gibson,' who died at the Clarence Baker Memorial Hospital, Biltmore, after a short ill ness, were taken to Lewisburg, West Virginia, this afternoon for interment. Mr. Gibson came, to Asheville about six years ago and engaged in the lumber business. Until about March of this year he was a .member of the firm of the McEwan and Gibson Lumber Com pany, but at the time of his death was connected with, the Boie Lumber Com pany. He was a native of Forsyth county, West Virginia, and was 43 years of age. (jitizens Rational gank i 1 - " 1 - - Capital, Surplus, - Deposits, Assets, RALEIGH, N.
