TO 16-YEAR-OLD PERRY.
Suit Brought bjr Amis end Deverenx'
Attorneys for the Father
An Interesting Starr. -
Suit has been entered by T. P.
Devereuxand N. M. Amis, attor.
nys for 8 B. Perry, against Regl-
t ,r of Deeds Rogers for the recovery
of the statutory penalty of 1200 for
the unlawful issoanoe of marriage
license to a- party under marriage
able age. The suit was brought be
fore Justice Barbee and will oome op
for trial before him at 8 o'olook to
morrow afternoon. .. '""
This suit is the outoome of the f sots
contained in a brief item some days
ago, which told of the father's search
for the magistrate who married bis
sixteen-year-old son, Frank Perry,
to Fannie Jones. The young boy was
finally married by a preacher after
Justice Roberta4had refused to per
form the oeremony on aooonnt of the
laok of a fee and a carriage but that
Is off the traok. .
The law. as set forth, in Sections
1814-18 of the Code is in substance
as follows: It Is provided that, where
a register of deeds issues a license for
the marriage of any two personei
- where either of said persons is under
eighteen years of age and residing
with his or her father, he shall tor
' feit a penalty of $200. to the father;
provided that he (the father) did not
give his written consent, which must
be delivered to the said register. He
is also required by the Btatute to
make reasonable ; inquiry as to
: whether suoh impediment exists to
the proposed marriage, and on
failure to do so, he forfiets the above
named penalty. 1
On September 80th a man named
Davie applied at the office of Register
of Deeds Rogers for a marriage
license for Frank Perry and Fannie
Jonas, Mr. Thos. Jenkins was hold
, ing the fort as a deputy in the office.
' At first Dave could not give Mr.
Jenkins the information be desired.
He left, however, and soon returned
with a statement upon, which the
latter made oat a license, previously
' signed by M. Rogers .
Now it is told a reporter that this
statement did not justify the issu
ance of the lioense, but it is not
wholly on this, ground that the suit
is brought Messrs. N. M. Amis
and T. P. Devereox ' oontend and
allege that according to opinions at
ready banded down by the Supreme
Court, Mr, Rogers ooold not delegate 1
the power to make the reasonable in
quiry requiri d by the statute; that
while, though a seeming paradox,
the marriage is legal, Mr. Rogers
has yet - lnourred , the statutory
.. penalty."''- ,' 7 -
It is learned that there will be a
direct ooLfllot of testimony on the
trial, between Rogers and Perry.
The latter, however,' stands ready
to prove the above facts. - . -. -
- It has also leaked out that there
"wilitw ottteT little sidesearoh lights
of testimony turned on that will
make the ease one full of interest
.There will be much squirming over
that "double century."

The Caucasian Goes for the Par-
chaser of the Cary Bailding.
The Caucasian says editorially
this week that Mr. Duke's purchase
of the property contemplated by the
Alliance was a stab at tha Alliance-
It further says : It is known that
the site including building, lot and
some machinery had been contract
ed for as far as contracts oould be
made. The property, by reason of
there being minor heirs, had to be
sold at pubiicUuotlon, but the Alii,
an oe, the heirs and the guardian for
minor heirs had agreed as to the
price and terms.' The property was
exposed for sale on Monday the 14th
inst The Allianoe; in. good faith
offered $4,260, the prioe formerly
agreed ; upon . with the heirs of the
estate. : A capitalist was present, by
representative, and raised tbe Al
liance offer and of course . took the
property. This was bis privilege.
The Alliance ' Will be E nothing
daunted. It is able and determined
to establish its manufacturing en
terprises. Capt'.taL treachery and
opposition cannot swerve the A11I,
anoe from its purpose. An organi
zation which a hostile legislature in
two whole years of determined de
struction oould not mar, will not be
effected by this ripple on the surface.
There is other property in Cary
and there are other towns than
Cary. There is no doubt but that
the executive oommittee of the Alli
ance will select another site and push
the shoe factory through to comple
tion.'.; ';J"A. :' ' .':

Wake county's tax abstracts were
sent in to the Auditor's offioe this
morning . A reporter has prepared a
comparative summary, showing the
decrease from and increase over the
tax report of 1894. The heavy falling
off in the total valuation of property
shows how deeply Wake was affect
ed by the hard times.
total tax valuation, 1894, $10,130,432

Tax on Real Estate, 1894, $23,868 67
r " v " 1896. 22.093.28
Thus it will be seen that the last
year's tax valuation as compared
with that of this year was $202,046
larger. The real estate tax for 1896
fell short of that of 1894 by 1766 29.
There ia a slight inorease in in
oome valuations over last year. The
figures:
lD0omes,1894, $114,306; taxes, $671.52
" 1896, 116,366; " 68178
The inorease will be seen to amount
to $2,051, which brings in only
$10 86 larger tax.
On polls there Is an inorease of
214. In 1894 there were 6.609 ; 1896.
Tbe most gratifying inorease in the
comparative Showing of this year's
and last year's tax lists is tbe in
orease of the amount devoted to
sohool purposes and tbe inoreased
amount of general county and special
taxes,' for tbe improvement of roads,

This Inorease of $2,205.23 for school
