Tlie employ ment by the Governor of three tucb able attorneys as 01 -chief Justice Shepherd, ex-judge James II Merrlmon and George Rountree to look after the Interests of the State In the suit which South Dakota hai brought against It to force the pay ment of par value of a lot of Western North Carolina railway bonds of the Is sue of 1898, atlraots renewed attention to that suit. Very few people take the suit seriously. They say the owner of the bonds simply put $10,000 of them In South Dakota's bonds In order that that State could sue, which of course the owner could not do. There are persons however, who say the matter is a grave one, and talk about the effect a decision of the United States Supreme Court that the face value of the bonds must be paid will have, contending that the court can make the tax collectors hold up funds enough to make the necessary payment. The State will of course fight the suit with all its power. The fourth volume of the North Caro lina Regimental Histories la half In typo.
