June Term Convened Monday—SMM Allen'. 96,000 Bond Forfeit** The regular June term of United States District court convened in this city Monday morning, with. Judge Boyd on the bench. The dockett <s not unusually heavy and there are no cases of special interest for trial. In the organization of the court the following were drawn to serve as members of the grand jury: James D. Donnell, foreman; Guy Smltherman, O. P. Stroupe, R. H. Milton, J. L. Cheek, R. H. MH-liamson, John W. Rakestraw, D. M. Ireland, R. L. Walker, W. P. Wood, G. E. Carter, W H. McDade, C. E. Moxley, Shube Coltrane, John Snid-er, J. W. Hill, A. P. Saunders, Rich-ard Smith, Will Shermer, J. Robert Chrlsmon and W. H. Broiwn. Judge Boyd's charge to the grand Jury fully sustained the reputation he has mad" tor expounding the law clearly and preaching forceful lay sermons on patriotism and devotion to duty and love of country. Among other good things,, he said: "The golden maxim of the law Is, 'So use your own as not to injure ^another.' Those international outlaws who dynamited whole regions of states. Including the Los Angeles horror of 30 fellow workmen burned to death, had no conception of Amer-ican liberty or true representative government or respect for the gol-den rule of law which obtains in this country. Every assault that is made on the courts of our country tends to weaken the very bulwarks of our liberties, for it is a basic prin-ciple that the judicial superstructure rests upon the foundation stones of our free government. The recent oc-currence in Hlllsvllle, Va-, is one of the results of these reckless as-saults that have been made and are being made upon courts. There a gang of desperadoes entered the sac-red precincts and slew the judge, the solicitor, sheriff and others, and wip ed it out in bloody lawlessness. * •The American idea of government, American idea of democracy reported that it could not reach an agreement and Judge Boyd ordered Its discharge. District Attorney Hol-ton Immediately announced a nol pros in the case. Fields was in-dicted for distilling, the evidence In the case being of a circumstantial nature. Spencer Sparks, of Wilkes; Guy Bullen,' of Yadkln, and Bud Garner, of Yadkln, Were found guilty on charges of blockading. I. R, Dixon, of Yadkln, and Ed. Denkins, of Yadkln, were found not guilty in cases charging distilling. A touch of pathes was given the proceedings when the case against Bob Williams and Sant Spray, white men of Davie county, was called- District Attorney Holton stated to the court that he held a certificate from a physician testifying to the fact that Williams was near death. He had also been supplied with ev-idence showing that Spray was in the insane asylum at Morganton. Up-on this evidence of the Intervention by a higher power, Judge Boyd or-dered an acquittal entered on the docket in each instance, thus clear-ing the record of these two men, who were charged with crime, but who by fate were unable to appear in defense of the names which they Jfwlll hand down to posterity. Bud McKnight, of Surry county, was found guilty of illicit distilling. Rush Hamlln, of Yadkin, was ac-quitted of the same charge. The civil calendar is to be called at 10 o'clock this morning. MOTHERS TAKE A HAND. Protest Against Mr'hods of City School Superintendent. More than a hundred women and girls of Greensboro were present Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of the mothers of Greensboro, called for the purpose of protesting against the action of Dr. Mann, superin-tendent of schools, in failing to rec-ommend Prof. A. H. King for re-election to the position of superin-tendent of the high school and to i protest against o^hor alleged wrongs which the forefathjrs planted ^ here j jn ^ prPsont S(.nooi system.

HT. hunts and other business Greensboro are arranging annual trade excursion from y, which will probably be 'ed during the latter part of ■lit month. The plan pro- I'or the operation of the exeur-lo make an automobile tour tiie county and the towns of and established by their blood and treasure, was that the people should rule but rulo through representa-tives whom they selected. How else except in that way can we have or retain our ideal institutions for lib-erty, wherein all elements of a great and marvelously growing nation can be reconciled to the general good? In the great war of the sixties, the Confederate government, in Us con-stitution, showed its consistent and patriotic sincerity to the American charter of government which it en-deavored by arms unsuccessfully to sustain by incorporating this origi-nal form of representative govern-ment. I cite this important histori-cal fact to show that we of the South were then, and always have been, the true Americans of this country, in the sense that we adhere more firmly to that go'den rule of law 'So use your own as not to injure another.' In North Carolina, and I might say in most of the Southern states, our Americanism is inherited and has not been so much diluted by alien influences, as seems to be the case in some sections of our country, where hordes of citi-zens not able to speak our language seem to have taken possession of both our polling places and our can didates, or vice versa. Monday afternoon Sidna Alien, leader of the Carroll cowtj, V*. outlaw gang, «« *****£?£ Allen was under $5,000 bond for ap peaiance here to stand trial a sec ond time on a perjury charge, dud e Boyd caused an instant* capias* issue, but remarked to the officer that he would be Justified to mark og the capias "not to be found.

In the case against John Henry Fields, of Guilford county, the jury say that the women speakers failed to point out a single specific act of Superintendent Mann that would con-stitute a ground for his removal. There was a general feeling that the superintendent had done Mr. King an injustice not to recommend his ro-election after his faithful service for many years, and this belief is shared by many lea 'ng men of the city. At the meeting speeches were mad« by Mrs. C. L. Van Noppen, Mrs. \V. H. Swift, Mrs. E. D. Broadhurst. Mrs. S. L. Alderman and others. A permanent organization was effected with the following officers: Mrs. 3. L. Alderman, president; Mrs. Do-rian Blair, vice president; Mrs. W. H. Swift, secretary; Mrs. Moulton Avery, treasurer. Just what course the fight against Dr. Mann will take is not known. It is probable that an investigation will be made by the city commission-ers in order to clear the muddied waters, and if there is any real cause for Dr. Mann's removal citi-zens may appear before the commis-sioners and present such complaints as they may have to make. Death of a Beloved Woman. Mrs. Robert E. Causey, an aged and beloved woman of Clay town-ship, died at her home near Tab-ernacle church last Friday night at 9 o'clock. She was in the eighty-sixth year of her ase and appeared to be in her usual health until a few hours before her d-ath. Friday af-ternoon she was attacked by chills but at first her condition was not considered serious. Mrs. Causey was a greatly beloved woman and will be sadly missed in tho community in which she had resided for so many years. She was the mother of Mr. .1. \V. Causey, of this city. Clark Club Organized. A Walter Clark club was organ-ized here Tuesday night with 25 charter members. E. R. Pace, of Raleigh, organizer and manager of Workingmen's Clark clubs, was here to aid In the organization, which was effected by the election of E. A. Rives as president and J. M. Glass, secretary. Mr. Pace talked enthusi-astically of Judge Clark's senatorial prospects and expressed confidence in the success of his candidate over Senator Simmons or Governor Kitch- In. He said the Clark cause was gaining strength with each day. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT. Convened Monday With Judge Cooke on the Bench. A two-weeks term of Guilford Su-perior court for 'he trial of civil cases convened Monday morning, with Judge Charles M. Cooke, of Louisburg, on the bench.. The civil term Is to be followed by a week's criminal term: The first case to come before the court Monday morning was a suit for divorce brought by Sarah E. Ferguson against J. E. Ferguson, a verdict being rendered in favor of the defendant.' The next case called was a suit in which R. H. Melvln asked dam-ages in the sum of $100 from the North Carolina Public Service Com-pany for the killing of a horse and the destruction of a wagon in a street car accident. It was shown in evidence that the plaintiff paid $25 for the horse and that he bought the wagon for $10, making a total investment of $35. The Jury gave him $50. ' J. T. B. Shaw won a suit against the Southern Railway, the amount involved being $10. The trouble grew out of demurrage charges on a carload of lumber. Attorneys announced a compromise in the suit of R. L. Hill against the Globe Home Furniture Company, of High Point, in which the plaintiff asked $5,000 damages for personal injuries. It was understood that the amount Involved in the compromise was $500. but no formal statement to this effect was made. Practically all of Tuesday was spent in disposing of the suit of N. L. Gerringer against W. R. Cftbb, e. al.. which involved the sale of a certain tract of land near Gibson-ville. The case bad been heard twice before, a mistrial resulting in the previous attempts at settlement. Tuesday the plaintiff won a verdict. getting an award from the court of approximately $60. The cost in the case amounts to considerably more than this and falls on the defendant. The suit involved about three acres o* land on which it was alleged was much valuable timber. There was a controversy over the line to the tract Gerringer bought from Cobb, Gerringer claiming that he should have been refunded $250 of the orig-inal purchase price of the land, which included about 160 acres. COMMISSIONERS' MEETING. Business Transacted by the Board Monday and Tuesday. The June meeting of the board of county commissioners was held Mon-day and Tuesday, and while no bus-iness of special public interest was transacted, the commissioners were kept busy attending to routine mat-ters and hearing petitions on various matters. A good portion of the time Monday was consumed in go-ing over and auUting accounts against the county. The resignation of Mr. J. S. Wil-liams as road commissioner in Wash-ington township was received and Mr. Cornelius Zimmerman was elect-el as his successor. Mr. Samuel M. Roach was elected road commis-sioner in Sumner township to suc-ceed Mr. Samuel Davis, who resign-ed his position. A petition was received for the opening of a public road in James-town township, beginning at a poll'1 on the roar' leading from Will'am Wiley's and Dr. Armfield's places to Jamestown and leading to the ma-cadam road, a distance of about one-half a mile. The petition was re-ceived and ordered advertised. Tuesday morning a delegation con-sisting of R. D. Douglas, A. B. Kimball. A. If. Scales. A. L. Brooks, R C. Hood, W. O. Burgin, E. D-Broadhurst and others went before the board and asked that the pres-ent bridge over North Buffalo creek be removed and a modern iron bridge placed in its stead. The board heard the various requests and at the noon recess went in person to the stream to make an examination. In the af'ernoon the matter was again brought up, with the result that plans were ordered drawn. The commissioners propose to erect bridge at a cost of from $4,000 to .5,000. It is to be 80 feet long and 36 feet wide, walkways being Pro-vided on each side. The stream is near the new Country Club and on one of the most generally used roads in the county. At present a wood-en structure, which Is said to be in a very unsafe condition, spans the stream. LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF FORM. Matters of Interest to Readers of The Patriot Far and Near. Mr. Frank A.
