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.

JNUAL TRADE EXCURSION.
e Operated by Greensboro Bus-iness
Men Soon.
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.

to the United States as well.
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.
