A controversy has arisen out of the recent election in this state that Is unique, novel and new. At the December term, 1898, of the United States court for the eastern district of this state and held In this city before . his hohor, Thomas R. Purnell, District Judge James B. Bod die, of Nash county, was convicted of violating the postal laws under section 3881 of the Revised Statute, which Is as follows: "Any person employed In any depart ment of the postal service who shall unlawfully detain, delay or open any letter, packet, bag or mall of letter, entrusted to him, or which has come Into his possession and which was in tended to be conveyed by mall or car rier or delivered by any mall carrier, mail messenger, route agent, letter carrier, or other person In any depart ment of the postal service, or forward ed through or delivered from any post office or branch postomee established by the authority of the postmaster general, or who shall secrete or em bezzle or destroy any such letter, pack et, bag, or mall of letters, although It does not contain any security for or assurance relating to, money or, other Otlng ot -value, shall be punfshed by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars, 'or Imprisoned for not more than one year, or both." " Boddle was first sentenced to two years In the penitentiary, and after wards this Judgment was reconsidered and stricken out and a sentence of two hundred dollars was Imposed, and Which Boddle served and paid. The violation of section 3891 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as hereinbefore quoted. Is not a felony but Is an offense for which Imprison ment In the penitentiary may be lm- posod. Section 8 of article 0 of the Consti tution of this state provides as fol lows: . . "The following persons shall be dis qualified from office: First, all per sons who shall deny the being of Al mighty Ood. Second, all persons who shall have been convicted, or confessed their guilt on Indictment pending, and whether sentenced or not, or under judgment suspended, of any treason or felony, or of any other crime, for which the punishment may be Im prisonment In the penitentiary, since becoming citizens of the United States, or of corruption or malpractice In of fice; unless restored to the rights of citizenship In a manner prescribed by Jaw." .-, Mr. Boddle was a candidate for regis ter pf deed of Nash county at the recent election and received 2,800 votes. On Saturday before the election Mr. E. T. Griffin declared himself a can- . tlldate for this office and received 138 , votes. . Boddle has not been restored to citi zenship and Mr. Griffin claims the of fice and demands that the county com. mlssloners Induct him Into the office. If Mr. Boddle should be Inducted Into rhe office Mr. Griffin will then bring milts to try the title to the office on the principle that Mr. Boddle was In eligible to hold the office on the day of election, and every vote cast for him was null and void, and that he, Grlf- , ln, received the highest vote east for the office of register or aeens. . 1 1 t ..

Your hair will be as gray as mine." "What! A thirty years' war?" "Perhaps 100," he answered. "You have , a great nation, and we have well we have a nation, too."
