The indications are that the plan for the proposed Recorder's Court will hot go through without considerable op position. It is pointed out in the first place that a meeting of the bar hed Monday night to discuss the matter- was called without notice having been given to all the members. This being so, it is he d that .he measure cannot, at pre sent at least .said to have the support of the Bar Association. Several law yers are. said to have had no notice of the meeting at all.

F IN THE CHARGE GAME WARDEN ASSURES PUB LIC NORTHERN MEN HAV EN'T SHIPPED GAME. Editor Jdurnal: In your issue of the 9th inst. I no ticed an article, stating that "North ern Sportsmen" were violating the game laws of this county, by making a business of shipping game to the Northern markets. I consider that the said article is not only a reflection upon the Northern sportsmen who are spending the winter in our city, but is also a reflection upon myself, as th game w.vden of this county and in the interest of all concerned, I wish to make the following statement, to wit: I have made a thorough investi gation of the , case which brought forth the article mentioned and have found that there is absolutely no cause for anyone to suspect the gentlemen in question, of having violated the game ' laws in any respect. On the other hand, I find that these gentle- -men-pbserve a, rule, among themselves, ''.i '' ' ' ':r n -1.11 "l.:!!- tnat no one 01 mem . ouan muit ihan one jfozen quail, In one days hunt ing,1 on lands that they are -Interested in.'; I also wish'to state for the benefit of the. writer of the article, before men tioned, that the States from which these gentlemen come, have enacted laws prohibiting' the sale of game and of course. It would .be extremely diffi cult; for them 'to market game, even f .they wished to do so. ' In the future If.-your reporter, who is the writer of the article in question, has occasion to publish, any criticism in reference to violations of the "game laws, I trust he will kbe careful to ob tain his information from a more reliable; sourceas it Is decidedly , ua pleasant to , me; to , be subjected to unjust criticism: for' not ptoperly at tending' to my duties at game" warden.

DRANK BOTTLE OF POISONT Body To Pass Through Here Thisui Mornino EnRoute To Bruns wick County. L. S. Swain, former v of this citv but who about three weeks ago moved to Washington, N. C, to engage in the insurance business, yesterday morn ing committed suicide by drinking a bottle of carbolic acid. He left a note giving information as to the where abouts of his relatives but gave no cause for committing the rash act. Mr. bwain, wrule living in this city resided with his wife and one child. at No. 68 Metcalf street and was en, gaged in the Insurance business, repre senting the Pan American Insurance: Company. When he went to Wash ington his wife and child went to Shallotte, N. C, near Wilmington, for a visit with relatives and have been there since that time. Mrs. William Street of this city, who is a sister-in-law of young Swain received a telegram informing her of the affair yesterday morning and she at once got into communication with his wife and relatives. Another tele gram received from Washington stated that the body would be sent to New Bern on the early morning train. On arrival here it will be transferred to the Atlantic Coast Line train and taken to Shallotte for interment. Just why the young man took his life will probably never be known. He visited here last 'Saturday and told his friends that his business at Wash- ineton was all that he could desire. The inspector employed by the Pan American Insurance Company was in the city yesterday and he informed the relatives of the deceased that his books were in good order and that he was positive there was no shortgae in the company's funds of which Mr. Swain had charge.
