IfeiS* tew—ut n)oktd at this Info* Cumber land county phy ■kfaaa are going to appeal to tha Legislature, at its approach ing term, to repeal that section of their prohibition law which permit* licensed drag atom to oell boose on the prescription of apkyatden. They claim that they are iwpoaed on lip schem ing boost artists who pot ap all aorta of fancy tales la order to obtain, a "scrip.* They will abo notify tha druggists that thay need not renew their licenses with a view to selling tha ardent an physicians’ pre scriptions, as the latter won’t bs forthcoming. In the light of tha etateaftat that tha "blind tiger11 article in that section is T^tiy mean, it seems that the "Morally Stunted1’ of Cumber land are ap against a stiff propo sition. There see mi to be hardly the shadow of ■ doubt that Gas touia will have free delivery of ■«u after the don of the present fiscal year in April next. The only requirement for the aatahHahmeat of free delivery of aaett in a town la that the ofloa receipts amount to $10,. 000 annually. In the year end* lag April, 1906, the receipts fell short of. this Genre less than $400. The receipts for the cor* rent year so far have practically covered this deficit, with the beat qaaitsr of the fear yet to come. It sssms hardly possible that the year’s total can fall be* low the $10,000 mark and if it doesn’t—well, then Gastonia yets free delivery of mail. With the town’s steady increase in manafactnriny plants and other bnsinesa interests there is ao fear that the receipts will ever again fall below the required Witboet a doubt the best issue ever gotten out by a North Car otiaa newspaper was the Christ mas edition of The Charlotte Observer which appeared Sun day. It consisted oi fifty-six pages la five sections aad would have don* credit to a city many times larger than Char lotte. It eras brimful of good things‘from the first pegs to the lest, not the least pleasing feature being the illustrations. The major portion of the articles appearing In thiaiaauc waa the product of Tar Heel pens aad brains, a point worthy of note in view of the fact that tbia paper ia doing a wonderful ser vice for the State and the South is discovering and bringing be fore the reading public writers of ability who would otherwise doubtless remain in obscurity. That was indeed a regrettable Occident which caaacd the de struction by fire of three thou sand or more copies of the sup plements after the plates from which they were printed had been destroyed, depriving as it aia cut many readers feasting on the good things therein contained. No person who has had any part or parcel, however small. In the making of n paper snch aa the The Ob server can fail to read with a large degree of Interest the article ander the head "The Making of a Modern News paper.” The Observer's enter prise in giving the public snch a rare and deli cions beat as this Christmas edition Is worthy of great commendation. The case against W. T. Rigs by. a wealthy yonug Durham it e, for contempt of court in stuffiing ballot, boxes -was Saturday con tinned by Judge Parnell nutil Jan. 1. . John C. Brain, commander of several Confederate vessels dur ing the civil war and a close personal friend of President Jef ferson Davis, died last week at Tampa, Fla.

Judgments were signed in Federal Court at Charlotte Fri day afternoon by Jndge JUmes E. Boyd is favor of the W. I*. Wells Company, ol Vicksburg, Mias., against the Gastonia Cotton Manufacturing Company •and the Avon Mills, awarding the plaintiffs $75,311.15. Much interest attaches to this caae by reason of the fact that it has been hard fought trout the time it was first instituted several years ago. Most of the facts regarding this case are matters of common knowledge to the reading public bnt the following resume, from The Charlotte Evening Chronicle of Saturday, will prove not un interesting: "The cases have been in the courts for the past several years rtn/4 mti/th SnfaraaP Itxa I.aam manifested its them owing to the lam amounts involved. Tbe defendant cotton mills bought cotton from W. L. Wells Com pany, of Vicksburg, Mias., amounting to, including interest to date, $85,000. Mr. John P. Wove, for the Gastonia Mills, claimed that Mr. Wells agreed to take two block* of stock in the Loray Mills, amounting to $40,000 and $10,000 respectively. Tbe Wells company denied this and instituted suit to recover the amount due for the cotton. Mr. W. L. Wells, president of tbe company, did not deny the I charge aa an individual. "A verdict was awarded the Saintiff in the District Court :ld in Charlotte in June, 1902, and the defendants appealed to the Circuit Coutt of Appeals at Richmond, where it was argued four times. It finally went to the Onited States Supreme Court and was sent back to tbe Court of Appeals, which npneld tbe first decision of Judge Boyd, except aa to one item involving the $10,000 item. "The caae was then returned to tbe District Court here and the plaintiff agreed to accept the judgment aa upheld by the Court of Appeals. The plaintiff company was represented by Mr. C. W. Tillett, of Charlotte, and Mr. Murray E. Smith, of Vicksburg. Messrs. Burwell & Cansler, of Charlotte, and Mr. O. F. Mason, of Dallas, repre-1 sented the defendants." A new'tarn was given the case Saturday night when Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, oi the Circnit Court telegraphed Clerk H. C. Cowles, of the Federal court for the Western District of North Carolina, stating that a tempo rary injunction had been granted restraining iht issue of an execution in favor of the Wells Company. In view of this injunction oo execution will isane until It ia so ordered by the Circnit Court. No additional information coaid be bad yesterday at the local offices of the defendant companies. It is known, how ever, that they will resist tbe execution of these judgments but what further steps will be taken in the matter it not known. Penllry Nan to Moot.
