Over thirty cases from the first district have already been docketed in the Supreme court for argument when the court enters into the fall term on August 30. Ful ly fifteen more are expected. Of the thirty cases already on the calendar, none are of statewide importance, the majority of them being local in their Interest - - The Supreme court, however, has on its hand now the decision in the anti-jug law. This was carried over under an advlsarl from the last term with the expectation that the Supreme court of the United States would rule on its constitutionality in a number of cases of similar nature pending. The United States court decided the cases from another angle and left the North Carolina question still an Issue. It , is expected that the opin ion wui De nanaea aown oy me xoriu Carolina court during the fall. - Since this case went to the Su preme court, Judge R. B. Peebles, sit ting in Wake county court charged the grand jury that so far as the anti- jug law affects the shipment of whis key for private purposes and person al use it is unconstitutional and the burden of proof is on the consignee to prove that the whiskey is intended for private consumption.

WHEN THE BODY 0 FRANK ARRIV MURDER HARE MADE AGAINST A RALEIGH MAN CAPTURE OF KOVNO T Berlin (by wireless to Say- ville), Aug. 18.- 1 he following announcement was ; made here officially today: . , r . . "The fortress of Kovno. to- gether with all ' the forts and amounts of war material, which have not been determined, has been in the hands it the Ger mans since last night. . "More than 400 cannon were taken. The fortress was captur ed by storm in spite of the moat tenacious resistance by the Rus sians." - . f Military experts have agreed that the loss, of the fortress of Kovno would be a serious blow to the Russians. The official German statement of yesterday announced the cap ture or the fort on the southwest front of Kovno together with 4,500 prisoners and 240 guns. This was - interpreted as fore shadowing the fall of the fort ress proper, but its accomplish ment so speedily was hardly ex pected. The famous German general, Von Hindenburg, per sonally ! took command of the army attacking Kovno. Kovho, the capital of the Rus sian province of that name, is on the right bank of the Niemen. It is a fortress of the first class. The civilian population of the city is more than 75,000 people. Greensboro, Aug, 18. Uncle Sam's revenue officers had a busy time dur ing July, 91 distilling plants either be Ing soized or destroyed during the month In the fourth and fifth collection districts of North Carolina and the en tire state of South Carolina. This num ber shows a decrease from this number of illicit whiskey manufacturing estab llshments put out of business during June, and for the decrease the reve nuers offer two reasons. One is that the sleepless vigilance with which, they beat about the highways and byways served to prevent many persons from "going into business," while the other and perhaps better substantiated rea son is that the present scarcity of grain served to limit tho-' number of distilleries. Fifty-one of these plants were dis covered In the fifth collection district of North Carolina, Col. A. D. Watts', of Statesvllle, own personal territory. In the fourth district 27 were put out of business, while in South Carolina, thru either the ability of the operators to hide their kettles, caps and worms, or because not many stills were operated, but 13 were discovered. .The officers made many other calls on what appeared to be straight inside informa tion but nothing worth making a fusB over was discovered. It is stated that the number , of stills missed, through one reason or another, is almost as large as the number captured and de stroyed. - . A big red ox and a more or less di lapidated wagon are also In possession of the officers. The ox and wagon were captured at the same time with a still in Wilkes county, evidently having been used to haul the still and mate rials from the hiding place to where the - "runs"' were made. One of the revenue agents was prepared to take the use of an ox by the distillers as an insult, figuring that it was a' direct slam at their ability to move about quickly. His wrath was appeased when It was explained that possibly the ope rators figured all was well and they might tako their own sweet time. GREENSBORO PEOPLE FOND OF THEIR DOGS Greensboro, Aug. 19.

But the police department is not satisfied yet, altho a record has been made and each and every one of the 91 past due own ers will either pay $1 or 4,25, the lat ter sum being the price of the license tag plug Municipal court costs. But a few days remain for the tax to be pail and Chief lsley declared yesterday af ternoon that unless the backward ones paid withla a very few days, warrants would be issued for tnera, ; , There was one phase of the dog li cense question that proved decidedly .humorous to the chief. Two members of the force own dogs and these two men have given the collectors mntc thsn the drdinsry amount of trouble before the dollar required was firmly clutched in the hands of a "getter" and duly en route to the city ball. One o: these men has already paid; the oth er is on the delinquent list He will be made a horrible example of even it he is big and fat, if he falls to come across. ; ;; ;. . .1 To Open Garage Messrs.
