Finding no reversible error, judgment tm the plaintiff for damages in the cot ton future cite of Rodgert, MeCabe Si Co. of Norfolk against J: H. Bell from the Edgecombe Superior Court lias been affirmed by the Supreme Court of North Carolina in a long decision gWn by Ifr Justice Hoke. It waa pleaded that the contract for future delivery of cotton upon which the suit had been based was a gambling contract and that no damages could be awarded sgaicat the defendant. The firat of these cotton cases invol ving the point nf "futures" was tried before Judge Martin in a- cas brought in the Court of Law and Chancery at Norfolk. Subsequently cases were brought in North Carolina where the judges followed Judge Martin who is now supported in this contentions by the highest court in North Carolina. The facts out of which Rodgers, Mc Oabe&Uo. 's sou against cell grew were as follows: A written contract between the par' ties was entered into whereby Bell agreed to deliver 60,000 pounds of cot' ton at the depot or boat landing in Pol locksville, N. C , on or before January 1, 1910, and a stipulation that in case of failure to deliver the cotton, or any part thereof, the damages should be ad measured at the highest price in the above mentioned market any day be tween September 10. 1909J and Decem ber 1, 1909. About 20.000 pounds were delivered according to the contract. This suit is for damaged for failure to deliver the balance. Bell alleges that no actual delivery was ever intended. but that it was a gambling contract and offered evidence to that effect. The jury found of a fact that it was not a gambling contract and from the judg ment for the plantiff. Bell appealed to the Supreme Court which affirms the court below.

Sim on Baskey, who was perbapa the oldest man in the 8tate, if not in the whole country, died at the great age of one hundred and twenty years. He was born slave, according to the records, in 1791 and therefore lived in three cen turies. He was an industrious, quiet old negro, well liked by all who knew him, and was active and hearty nntil Julte recently. II POWERS BLEJAME So That Slaughter of Chinese And Foreigners Continues Un interrupted. Peking, China, Nov. 24. -The maasa-i cm of foreigners is still going on in. Sbcnti province, according to informs- tion received here. In the same prov ince mora than 2,000 Manehua have been slaughtered. . i It is also reported that foreigners are being murdered at Yunan. Five thous and corpses strew the battle field at Hankow as a result of two days fight ing. The ant) foreign agitation is as suming a dangerous character, i The development of the anti-foreign outbreaks are taken by every one here as foreshadowing almost immediate in tervention by the powers. It is said the only reason there bas pot already been vigorous intervention is because the powers cannot as yet agree upon a plan. Premier Yuan Shi Kal is taking ad vantages of the jealousies and rivalries among the nations with interests in the empire to play one against another, which he has done .with considerable success. It is believed, however, that the Premier would not oppose interven tion if assured that it would save the Throne. He is constantly conferring with the Ministers and Ambassadors here. Stories that an attempt was made to assassinate the Premier Mon day lack connrmatian; There Is no doubt, however, that the revolutiona ries are on the outlook for a chance to kill him. It appears that the delay in the rebel attack on Nankin is due' to the fact that the arrival of the war ships recently captured from the Impe rialists is awaited to join in the engage ment by a bombardment from the riv er. Washington, Nov. 24. In the face of an uuexpltined delay in dispatching to China troopii which it was announced a week ago woul 1 be sent from Manila reports of serious interventional com' plications were numerous These gained strength in the fact that Cabinet offi cers of the State, War and Navy De partmenta held frequent conferences, the Bubject of which they refused to disclose, ' GHKKIBER OF COM- ilSiHi . MERGE WORK To Have New Bern Raise It Por tion to Complete Road to Open up Fine Country. Some weeks ago the Journal noted in its columns that the farmers living in the lower end of Beaufort county, and those living this side of the county line, usually designated as the Aurora sec tion, wanted to trade in New Bern, but owing to the long distance one way. and the nearly impassable road the abort way, they were kept away. Coming to New Bern a delegation of farmers. Called at the Chamber of Commerce of fices, and showed how by building up about four miles of roadway, and drain ing a portion, there would be opened up a direct road to Aurora, a road that cou'd be traveled every day in the yoar The road that needs re opening is known as the Walker road. To show their con fidence in this roadway, repairing of the Walker road and the building up of the entire road, of some 20 miles, the delegation pledged to raise $250 of the $1,000 they considered as necessary for the road work. They had subscription lists made up, and the Journal has just received word from Mr. N. A. Purifoy, one of the committee, that they have nearly $300 subscribed and now wait for New Bern to do its share. Any mer chant In New Kern can tell what the opening up of this country would mean for the retail trade of this city. Good roads are as much needed as railroads, and it seems Impossible to believe that there should be any hesitancy on the part of New Bern merchants, specially the Chamber of Commerce to at once secure the money necessary to be added to what the farmers have subscribed to complete this direct road. Here Is a ease of trade seeking New Bern. Rather unusual, for the rule is the other way mere snouia De public action ir once on this' matter.

When the team of football players from Washington, N. C, who came over to this city Wednesday morning for the purpose of playing a fame with the New Bern graded school football team and who made such a miserable failure when it came to a 'show down,' returned to their native heath, they were requested to tell "how come." - Io brief this is the account contained In Thursday afternoon's edition of the Washington News of what the team related when they reached home: "Tbe work of the referee caunnt b condemned too forcibly. His decisions were biased; bis conduct to othar of ficials of the game wm extremely tilt Courteous, his remarks to the players were domineering; his attitude was one of defiance; and every Utte, cour teous protest be took aa a direct affront His knowledge of to game was poor; his judgment ridiculous. Scores of Nw Bern people termed the decision "raw" and rotten," and It was .the unanimous opinion of the Washington delegation that not only bad w not received a equar deal, bat also there had been no disposition on lb part of the referee to give the local boys their du.
