Greenshoro, Aug. 14. The refusal of
Governor Glenn to remit the sentence
of imprisonment on ex-Revenue officers
G. W. Samuel and J. W. Hasty for the
assault and battery on Editor Deal at
Wilkesboro, to a fine was generally ex
pected here, and is as generally com
mended by all who have k apt up with
the case in Wilkes, and the subsequent
developments in the trials of the reve
nue officers in the Federal court here.
Both men are out on bond, but their
friends here say they will at once surJ
render themselves to the jailer at
Wilkesboro and begin the service of
their sentence. Their being in jail
when the special term of the Federal
court meets here the first Monday in
September to continue the trials of
revenue officers indicted for alleged
frauds against the government, will in
ill probability work a continuance of
all the cases.
Samuel has already been convicted in
this court, and sentence was deferred,
awaiting the disposition of other cases.
One of these to he tried is against
Hasty, indicted for conspiracy with
distillers, false reports, etc. So on the
whole, the imprisonment of these men
at that time, may redound to the gener
al benefit of all the revenuers urder in
dictment, by gradually easing upon
these cases, until finally the whole
batch will be deadened out of court and
nothing further done with any of the
parties, convicted or yet to be tried.
Such a denouement has been freely pre
dieted from the very beginning by many
observant people, who while commend
ing District Attorney Holton for his
remarkable perseverance and ability in
prosecuting the cases, have realized
that he could not forever stand alone
against the whole allied forces of the
republican organization in North Caro
lina, backed by the powerful influence
of Internal Revenue Commissioner
Yerkcs, and his subordinate heads in
North Carolina. It is well known that
Collector Harkins lost his job on ac
count of his nudging up the depart
ment of justice officials in the prosecu
tions, instead of siding with the forces
under Yerkes, who have from the first
resented bittorly the indictment and
conviction of their leading lieutenants
in the revenue service and hardest
workers in the political field.
State Chairman Adams, has been the
Attorney, leading counsel for all these
indicted r avenue officers, and has done
his full professional duty in defending
them, and yet, some of the Blackburn-
ites are so bitter in their spite against
them, that they are now saying that if
Judge Adams bad not put on letting
the Governor act on these applications
for a fine instead of imprisonh mt,
Hasty and Samuel could have f nished
serving their sentence of three and six
months in time to have done campaign
work for Blackburn in Surry, Wilkes
and Cabarras counties, and also have
voted at the election. Now they will
not beable to vote or to take in the
campaign rounding up others for Black
bum. Its a funny world. :

mittee is to thoroughly investigate the
question of freight discrimination, the
terms of the new law, and report back

may think will be necessary to betoken
to obtain relief from present freight
rate discrimination against Greensboro.
President Battle announced that owing

but small.
The manager of the State peniten
tiary farm on the Roanoke says that
the cotton crop this year there is the
finest he ever saw. Last year on 1,200
acres he made 1,200 bales. The weath
er is quit seasonable now for . cotton
and for other crops.
It is intimated that there may be
considerable insurance legislation at the
next term cf the legishture. This
seems to be the outlook. Quite a lot of
interest is manifested in the meeting to

holders of the Mutual Life and the New
York Insurance Companies and it is the
opinion that there will be a very large
representation on that occasion.

tees of Wake Forest College are to

Thomas Duncan of High Point this
morning, notifying him to watch in
coming trains and the Kegister or
Deeds office for his seventeen year old

locate them here.
On the railroad trestle near Lexing
ton yesterday, a train ran over William
Wilson, a Southern railway employee,
killing him instantly. The particulars
of his death, and the cause of the ac
cident are shrouded in mystery, as the

could have failed to get out of the way
of a fast approaching passenger train
Wilson lives in Greensboro, and the re
mains were buried here today. He was
sixty-five years old, and had a good
reputation for sobriet and industry.

; The Printer's "Devil."
Why is the printer's errand boy called. ,
the"printers devil"? A writer at the end
of the seventeenth century explained it
thus: "These boys in a printing house,
commonly black and daub themselves;
whence the workmen do jocosely ceil
them devils; and sometimes spirits and
sometimes flies." It is related, how
ever, that. Aldo Manuzio, the great
Venetian printer of the fifteenth cen
tury, had a black slave boy, who waa
popularly supposed to have come from
below. Accordingly he published a
notice: "I, Aldo Mannsio, printer of '
the Doge, have this day made public
exposure of the printer's devil All
who think he is not flesh and blood may
come and pinch him." New York Tri-
