Mr. Dunn was in charge of the engine and had taken it from the city to the tank at the place mentioned to be filled with water pre paratory to hauling the east bound mail. The cause of the accident is said to have been an Insecurely fast ened rail which threw the engine on Its side and caught both engineer and fireman In the wreck.

' " . - Greensboro, May 2. A very Impor tant recent "decision of the United 8tates Supreme court relating to the liquor traffic, which strangely haa not been adverted to by North Carolina press, became known here sometime ago. The court says, that a man who acta as agent for the solicitation and delivery of whiskey In prohibtion ter ritory. Is the seller, -where "the law defines the place of delivery as the place of sale. . This is certainly a re versal of the North Carolina supreme court decision recently announced in a case taken up from Monroe. The case in point went up from South Dakota. A man there who acted as agent of a liquor firm, outside the state in receiving orders for liquor ,was indicted, tried and convicted of violating the section' of the state pro hibtion law, defining the place of de livery as the place of sale. ; An appeal was taken to the state supreme court, which sustained the lower court An appeal was taken to the United tSates supreme court and it sustains the state court It says, the Interstate commerce principle does not apply in such cases as the Wilson Act of con gress passed two years ago meets that point ; A copy of this opinion has been secured by a leading attorney here with the result that every liquor order man located in Greensboro has suspended open business. The South ern -Express company ( which does a land office business bringing, pack ages of liquor into, North Carolina prohibition territory from points out side the state, la also looking into the matter, and its attorney is making further investigations into the" de cision to see it it also is under the ban. " The decision, says that while an agent who takes the order is the sell er the party desiring the liquor may with impunity send out of the state and secure the liquor. ; Thts lets in the individual but knocks out the agent. ; "The "observance of this decision as the law in Greensboro, would close up halt a dozen whiskey order agencies the proprietors of which are making more money in commissions on orders than they did as owners of saloons. It will also be a loss to the Southern Express company of many thousands of dollars a year from thts point alone. The Virginia whiskey dealers who : have suddenly grown rich Belling liquor through agents on orders from North Carolina dry towns will be hit hardest of all and Greens boro under the Incoming, so-called wet mayor, will be so dry in com parison to what It is under the pres ent dry mayor, that the most sealous prohibitionist will call for moisture. The adjourned term of the special term of the United' States district court convened here for an hour this morning to make final disposition of the case against L. E. Davis ot Wilkes county. He. waa under sentence ot a year and a day to the Atlanta penlten lary for participation in the Wilkes county revenue officers and whiskey distillers frauds. He had acknowl edged guilty to a false voucher, other Indictments being nol proased. At the January term Davis was first fined 11,000 and given the year's sentence. Hia physician testified that hia health was such, conflment would probably kill him,, Judge Boyd remitted the fine but gave Davis until May 1st to re port to court and take his sentence. He promptly gave a $5,000 bond and this morning came to time, his bonds man, Mr. Clint Wagoner of States- ville and his physician Dr. Mosely ot Wllkesboro and his attorney, Hon. R. H.' Hackett and W. W. Barber of Wllkesboro ' being by bis aider Mr. Davis looked sick, and hia physician testified that nothing short of an eight weeks confinement to bed in a hospital under careful treatment would demonstrate the chance of his recovery. Judge Boyd said he had received a stack of letters from dls tlugulshed men all over the state ask. Ing that Davis' sentence be changed to a fine. This very tact showed him, that a man of such influence, who had been guilty of such conduct was the most dangerous to society, and most worthy of punishment He would not change the sentence to a fine, but would give Davis every chance to get well, and gave him until the first Monday in September to report at special term to meet that day. Davis at once gave another $5,000 bond and walked. , .

The Atlanta Dally Journal ot Jan. has the following about Billy Ker- sands' famous minstrels, which open an engagement at the New Masonic opera house Saturday, May 4. '. Billy' Kersands' Famous Minstrels was the attraction at the Grand last evening. The popular playhouse was filled to an overflow, hundreds being denied admission. It was a very good minstrel show and everybody present enjoyed many hearty laugh. The honors of the occasion belong to the 'man with the big mouth,' Billy Kersands himself. He Is without doubt a great laugh- producer" and was last evening even funnier than ever. . Fare Thee Well,' as sung by Bunk Campbell, was well done, Kid Lang- tora s work as end man was more than satisfactory, and the after part 'Nancy's Elopement" . by Langford, Dixon, Cameron and Smith, left the audience in an uproar of laughter. The show on the whole was one of the best minstrels Atlanta has seen this season." WHAT MARION SUTLER SAYS.
