Grant Signed by Goyernor Caswell Filed in Buncombe. Dr. D. M. Gudger had recorded in the office of register of deeds of Buncombe- county a land grant covering his ; place, on Hominy creek" and some adjoining lands that Register of Deeds J" J . Mackey believes is the oldest en try and" one of the oldest grants "ever made for lands in Buncombe county., says the Asheville Gazette News. The grant dates back to 1787 and was sign ed by R. C, Caswell, the first governor of North Carolina, and was. issued at Kinston, one of the old state capitals. Both the grant and entry of these lands vwas made in 1784. Both the grantand entry were made in; Burke county, , the date of the entry being shown on a plat and description of the lands attached to the grant. The grant was recorded in book No. 4 in the -office of register of deeds of Burke county, as appears by a nota tion on back of same, which was de stroyed in a fire during the civil war. The record was made here today to perpetuate it ; 'v The original grant was made to Wil liam Moore, a Revolutionary soldier, who accompanied Col. Rutherford, sent here by the state to punish the Cher okee Indians for' depredations -oa white settlers east of the Blue Ridge mountains. The lands are identified by reference to Hominy creek and an old Indian trail, that crossed the place, and to ; the ford where Col. Ruther fordton crossed. The house that William Moore built on ' this land is still standing and is now occupied by Gudger. It is believ ed to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, residence iri North Carolina. : The grant was found about 20 years ago by members of Dr. Gudgt's fam ily and is how in a good state of preservation.- T- - : ROBBERY OF CARS. .The Carlin bill, recently passed by Congress making the robbery of freight cars, baggage cars, and ex press pars engaged in interstate commerce and the robbery of In state commerce and the robbery of in terstate shipments from platform, and stations a federal offense, is a law with teeth in it and sharp ones at that as was evidenced in the federal court ac Birmingham when John, L. Parker was given a sentence of six years in the United States prison for jrpbbing a shipment of shoes consigned to Gla ep, Miss., from a car in the Birming ham yards on . May 4th. - Parker wa s also implicated in robbing a ship ment of notions' consigned to Avon dale, Ala., from a car in the Birming ham yards on the night of July 30th and Otis Williams and Arthur Good eye who assisted him were given sen tences of four years and six months and three ; years , and six months re spectively in the United States prison, , Under the "Carlin law, the prosecu tion of ca'r and dejot thieves is great ly simplified andL the certainty of con viction is much greater as the federal statutes do not provide the loopholes found in various state laws through which many criminals whose guilt wag clearly proved have been enabled to escape on technicalities. .As the result of the operation of this, law, it is believed that criminals will recog nize the; - danger of tampering ?5vitU freight cars and depots and that there will be, a great decrease in thefts of this character which, frequently cause serious inconvenience - and loss to shippers as well as to the railroads.
