Some ; visitors who come "to North
Carolina evidently - have the idea
that this is a strictly rural . section;
that the pcpple go to' bed 'with the
chicken and that the' general spirit
which was evident in ante bellum
days still prevails. This was fitting-
, , j . , j . ' . ,i
ly evidenced a few days ago when the
t M iw.i .
ceived a letter from a gentleman in
New York, informing ' him that he
intended coming to New . Bern and
would abide at his hostelery while
within the confines of the city. The
prospective guest requested that his
room be kept warm on the night of
his, arrival and that some one be
sent to the station to meet him and
assist with his baggage. ';The New
Yorker arrived on time and there was
some one to meet him, in fact there
was a whole corps of porters assist-'
ed by an automobile buss and , he
found' his room nice and warm 'when
he reached the hotel. The visitor
had an engagement with a young lady
that night and before going Out he
informed the clerk' that he' would
not be in until late and that if they
wished to close the hotel he could
do so but he urged that the key' 'to
the front door be left under the mat.
The management -of the bouse seem
ingly took the matter seriously and
the Now Yorker evidently thought
t'u, it so inndi trouble was taken for
l.;s IfiioSt ulone. .
Matter of Holding Up Large
Contract Not Fully -.
Settled .
- Wilmington, N. . C, Dec' 30;
Judge George Roundtree heard here
today the contentions in law. of at
torneys for Southport citizens and
the Southport aldermen in injuhc
tive . proceedings against the alder
men with relation to a contract for
$43,000, .. which, it is alleged, the
aldermeif were on the point of enter
ing into the same being opposed by
citizens,. -.T. ?
The arguments were heard, where
upon Judge Rountree Ideferred '' his
decision for 10 days,, and called for
brief. - ' " . ' ' .
-' Robert Ruark, Esq., ,of this city,
represents Capt. J. J. Adkins and
other Southport citizens, and Cran
mer and Davis and Jos; W. Ruark,
Esq., of Southport, represent the al
dermen and other citizen. - v - '
V The contract," the signing of which
was held up by a temporary restrain
ing order issued' by Judge Oliver H.
Allen on the 12th instant, was for
143,000, ,iot a , water and sewerage
system for Southport.'' ' -j '
The contention of the complainants
is that the aldermen had not Beciir
ed disinterested advice and were on
the point of putting - Southport in
debt for ; the : amount of the-4 notes
without, having secured such advice,
thereby making possible a grave er
ror. There is no - disposition, it is
stated, to oppose a water and 'sewer
age system. Southporis apparently
unanimous on that point., The' divis
ion of sentiment c6mes on the ques
tion of how to secure the plant. - '
The contract, the signing of whjcn
was heldup by the order, was with

f' Attorney Leonard Haas, of counsel
for Frank,' said today; that,' as no
evidence was heard by Judge New

case back to him for a hearing of evi
dence as to the alleged prevalence of
mob spirit in the courtroom during

from the courtroom when the verdict
was announced the points at issue?
The hearing before the Supreme
Court, Mr. Haas said, would have the
same effect as if the State simply had
filed a demurrer to the petition for
habeas corpus and this demurrer were
up for decision. -.,. - ' " :: ''
' Should Judge Newman, after hear

from- Frank,-again deny - the writ,
