When the Supreme Uourt of the United States decided that South Da kota's claim could be enforced there was a question as to what course North Carolina ought to pursue. The for mer and the present Governor, the Council of State and other good men A Wyoming couple has just been took the ground -that the State ought married for the fifth time, having been not to permit the bonds upon whicn divorced four times, in the last twenty South Dakota held a lien to be sold at rrvi -! l a.

Judge the ones that paper assigned to them correctly that the only way the crowd behind Shaffer Brothers could collect these bonds was to give them away to some State that could sue.

It is called acromegaly. Since the close of the last session of Congress, Georgia S. Nixon,of Nevada, lias become one of the richest members of the Senate. He was one of the original boomers of the Tonopah dis trict, having picked up there numer ous prospects that have developed into properties of vast value. His interest is three mines alone represents a cash valuation of $20,000,000. The fight over abolishing the dis pensary at Waynesville is now on and waxing warm. Both sides will have lobbyists at Raleigh to impress upon the Solons of the General Assembly the logic of their views. Some . say it should be left by a vote, but the antis say it was put on the town without a vote, therefore should make its exit through the same door it came in. The government has signified to the English government that it has forgot ten the unseemly incident occasioned by Gov.Swettenham, of J amaica, in re fusing aid from American warships. jSwettenham's action caused great indig nation in Jamajca, America and Eng land. He is a pig-headed English man that rather prefers the Jamaicans to suffer than allow Americans to help them. It has already been printed how the Governor of South Dakota an honor able man has recommended that the Legislature of that State return to North Carolina the $27,400 paid by this State for South Dakota's claims. : North Carolina two years ago issued $250,000 of four per cent eight year bonds which brought a premium, net ting the State about $264,000. Of this sum South Dakota got $27,400 while the men who were behind the Schaffer dummies and a few others got all the balance that did not go to Rus sell, Butler and the other unnamed traitors to their State. If the views of J udge Graham and the other gen tlemen who did not believe in being "held up" had prevailed, the State would have paid out only $27,400 un til the Schaffer crowd was ready to take the same amount paid to all the other bondholders. News and Ob server. The editor of the Public Ledger heard a member of the Legislature two years ago that Judge Graham so valueable to the State, in looking after its every interest, that it could well afford to pay him $5,000 a year as a regular member of the Legislature.
