TOBACCO CASE
BACK TO STATE COURT
In 1'nited States circuit court
Jud,ge J- C. Pritchard heard argument
on a motion to remand to the state
coin is the case of the Blackwell'
Durham Tobacco Company of North
I Carolina, against the Blackwell's Dur
ham Tobacco company aim me Am
erican Tobacco Company, of the State
of New Jersey, and C. W. Toms, D.
VV. Andrews and W. W. Flowers, of
Durham, says a special from Ashe-
jvilie in today's Charlotte Oliservei.
The facts and allegations involved In
i this cause are well known Some
i years ago the American Tobacco
i Company, commonly known as the
i trust, absorbed the Blackwell Com
i panv, of Durham, and began tho op
eration of the company under the
laws of New Jersey; the company
never domesticated in this State.. The
old Ulackwell company vacated Its
I State charter when it w as Incorporat
ed in New Jersey and recently an
other company, calling itself the
niackweil's. Durham Tobacco Com
pany, with George R. Blackwell as its
president, was organized and Ineoi
porated under the lawn of the State
ot N.irth Carolina and now seeks to
perpetually enjoin the New Jersey
Blackwell Company from turther
using the Blackwell trade mark.
The new Blackwell Company insti
tuted a suit In the superior court of
Durham county to enjoin the New
Jersey corporation from the further
use of the trade mark. The New
Jersey concern and the American To
bacco Company immediately died a
petition and bond with the clerk of
court for a removal of the cause to
the United States circuit court for
the eastern district of North Carolina.
The cause was removed and today
the plaintiff appeared before Judge
Pritchard to have the big suit, re
manded to the state court. The law
firm of Guthrie & Guthrie, of Dur
ham, represented plaintiff, while J. D.
Parker, of New York, first assistant,
counsel .for the American Tobacco
Company, and Frank Fuller, of ITtn
hani, local counsel for the tobacco
trust, represented the defendants.
After hearing a.gument by counsel,
in which it was shown that the re
moval proceedings were Irregular,
Judge Pritchard entered this order:
"in the Circuit Court of the I'nlted
Slates, for the Eastern District of
North Carolina.
"Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Com
pany vs. the American Tobacco
Company (an alleged corporation
of New Jersey), C. W. Toms, W, W.
Flowers and D. V. Andrews.
"This cause coming on to be heard
before this court at chambers In Ashe
ville, after due notice, upon the mo
tion of plaintiff to remand this cause
to the superior court of Durham
county, and being heard and argued
before the court by counsel for both
sides.
"It is considered by the court that
Inasmuch as- the petition for the re
moval of this cause to this court from
the superior court of Durham county
has never been presented to the judge
of the superior court of Dufham
county, the docketing of the cause in
this court was premature and Improv
ideutly done by the clerk of this
court;
"It Is therefore ordered by this
court that this cause be stricken from
'he docket of this court without pass
ing upon the motion to remand and
without considering the sufficiency of
he petition and bond for removal
filed In the office of the clerk of the
superior court of Durham county.
North Carolina, on August u, 1906,
and the plaintiff will have and re
cover of the defendants, the Black
well's Durham Tobacco Company and
'he American Tobacco Company, all
the costs incident to this proceeding,
for which an execution is awarded."

0PE1 SEPTEMBER 12
(Special to The Sentinel.) "
DI'RIIAM. Aug IK Everything is
being put In readiness for the opening
of college September 1-. The date of
opening this year is one week later
than last. The buildings are being
overhauled, and changes made. A
number of changes are being made In
the Duke building that, will add very
materially to the comfort and conven
ience of the students. The campus Is
In excellent condition, and it Is hard
to find a more beautiful spot than
Trinity Park.
The prospects for a successful open
ing are very bright. The correspon
dence with students In distant states
has been' much larger than In former
years and the indications are that the
attendance from other states will ex
reed that of other years.
President Kilgo is in South Caro
lina on a it to relatives. He will
be away foieveral days.
The work on the academic building
at Trinity Park School Is progressing
and It Is expected that it will be
completed b the opening, September
12. Headmaster North says that the
prospects for a targe attendance are
exceedingly good.
The debate council at Trinity has
arranged a debate with Vanderbllt
1,'uiversitv to be held In Durham some
time during the fall term. The exact
date has not been fixed. This is the
second debate of the series, the
former one having taken place at
Nashville. The subject of the debate
this year is: Resolved, "That private
ownership of plants for lighting and
street railway transportation is the
policy best suited to American cities.''
Trinity will argue the affirmative of
this question.
Only About Half of the Counties in
the District Represented. Nominee
Wat Not Present Had No Opposi
tion, Major J. E. Alexander Pre
sided In Absence of Chairman. W.
W. Hampton New Chairman of Ex
ecutive Committee.
I The Republican- Judicial convention
for this district as held at the court
j house at 12 o'clock. In point of atten
dance It was a tame affair, only about
half of the counties being represented.
(Mr. John IXibson, of Rockford, Surry
county, was nominated for solicitor,
to oppose the present Incumbent, S.
Potter J1rvc, ot Mt. Airy. Mr. Dob
son was not present, hence there was
no speech making. The convention
was called to order by Maj. J. K.
Alexander, who presided over the de
liberations. He was delegated to do
this by Chairman Nunia Held, chair
man of the executive committee, who
was prevented from being present by
sickness.
Mr. Dobsoii's father was solicitor of
this district foi several years betore
his death. Mr. W. W. Hampton, of
Dobson. Surry county, was elected
chairman of the new executive com
mittee and, It Is presumed, will man
age Mr. Dobson's campaign.
Mr. Dobson's name was the only
one presented to the convention,
henCe he was nominated by acclamation.
Frank Martin for Constable.
To' the Editor: t see that township
meeting has been called to meet in
the conn house Monday evening at S
o'clock to nominate a township con
stable and elect an executive com
mittee. Wliisloii-Kalem Is particularly In

the present constable signs all Ills

Now I want, lo suggest Frank Mar

best, most active and most fearless
officers the town has ever had. He
knows no man in the discharge of his
duly. The law breakers all know
h j ni anil his presence has a tendency
