I have the pleasure and honor to present to you Hon. William H. Murray, of Oklahoma." Mr. Murray's Address. Mr. Murray, who is an interesting and effective speaker, said he would not presume to rehearse history as to the battle, but would explain the purpose of the revolution. The patri-ots were not fighting for the love of fighting, but to establish a govern-ment that would combine the essen-tial elements of all good government and eliminate the evils that destroy-ed the republics of the past, having a constitution, a nationality and an Intellectual awakening, and in point of time this has outlived all of those except the Roman government. Pure democracy in Athens had these essentials with the exception of nationality. That government failed, not for lack of Intelligence or civilization. It had reached such a degree of intelligence that the peo-ple had ceased -to quarrel,' .among themselves and had concluded that universal peace was possible. They recognized the theory that all capa-ble self-government, while true in theory, is untrue in practice. The result was that they overlooked the necessity for nationality, or power for self-defense against invasion. The Roman government by the side of it, he continued, went to the other extreme—became all nationality and became a centralized despotism, and hence transformed the republic into an empire, a danger that now is con-fronting our government. He pointed out that, while nation-ality is necessary, it should be con-fined to those things which relate- to international affairs, and should not make the mistake of applying na-tional laws to all affairs. The men of the revolution fully comprehend-ed the philosophy of the German re-public and its failure, and the fail-ures of the Greek and Roman repub-lics, and so they created a national-ity. At the same time they reserved to the state the power of local self-government. The two, in a measure, were in conflict. They provided for a mental awakening by establishing universities, colleges and common schools and by putting in the con-stitution a clause giving a monopoly to the inventor and the book writer as a reward for their work. The history of liberty is the his-tory of the limitation of power, and the constitution Itself limited and defined the powers, so that a man could not be tried until indicted by the grand jury and then by con-fronting the witnesses against him and having the right to be heard by himself or attorney or both. So jealous were the people of limiting the power of the constitution and of the people that tbey limited their own power by the creation of the court. The books of the Scripture, Mat-thew, Mark, Luke and John, read with Josephus and the Roman law, conclusively prore that they had the recall of judicial decisions, and on certain occasions, which were noth-ing more than days of celebration, the people had the right to liberate, one of the prisoners and to fix pun-ishment on the remaining ones. Pon-tius Pilate had two prisoners, Jesus and Barabbas, and he tried to per-suade the people to liberate Jesus of Nazareth, saying, "I find no fault with this-man," but they crucified him—they tried him and fixed his punishment by a sentence the most degrading known to the law and de-manded the release of B■»■»—, government and republican government which alone is but a skeleton form. They applied the principle of the monarchy to the police and health forces. They applied the principle of pure democracy with some social-istic tendencies. Other Features. Shortly after 1 o'clock Aviator Terrell made a beautiful flight in his airship. He ascended a consid-erable distance, and after making a flight over the grounds, took a circle toward Greensboro. The flight was entirely successful and was enjoyed with thrilling Interest by the thou-J sands of people who witnessed It. The military exhibition was not the least Interesting feature of the days celebration. Two companies of Coast Artillery, from Fort Cas-well, and the Guilford Grays, the lo-cal military company, gave exhibi-tions of drilling and firing, the visit-ing companies, engaging in a sham battle. The companies from Port Caswell were under the command of Capt. E. L. Oliver, a native of Greensboro, and a son of the late Judge John A. Gilmer. NEGRO SHOOTS HIS WIFE IN QUARREL OVER MONEY. In a domestic quarrel at their home in Warnersville Saturday af-ternoon, James Falson, colored, shot and killed his wife. He fired two bullets at the woman, only oae of which' was effective, and she died in about 30 minutes. It Is understood that the quarrel concerned money matters. Immediately after shooting his wife, Palson started up town, car-rying the revolver in his hand, and at the corner of South Elm and Washington streets he met Police-men O'Briant and Rawlins, who took him into custody. The officers had started to Warnersville In re-sponse to a telephone message an-nouncing the shooting. Paison was locked up and will be given a preliminary hearing in Mu-nicipal court today.

Washington. July 5—Washington awaited anxiously tonight for details of the election held today in Mexico to choose a successor to General Hu-eita. Up to a late hour little had teen heard from the election except that one had been held and that the voting was light. While an early report from Mexico City said it was believed General Huerta had been the favorite In vot-ing for the presidency, the general belief here was that Huerta had not been a candidate, and that it was the intention to choose Pedro Lascurain as president. Reiterations were re-ceived today in private dispatches from Mexico City that Huerta, in a final effort to restore peace, intend-ed to turn the government over to Lascurain, who, in turn, would name some constitutionalist as minister of foreign affairs. Then Lascurain, according to these reports, would re-sign, leaving the constitutionalists to succeed to the presidency. Huerta would be assigned to a foreign post by Lascurain before the latter's res-ignation. A dispatch from Mexico City says the voting was very light and indif-ference was manifested everywhere. Despite the announcement that Hu-erta was not a candidate, he appears to have received a big majority of the votes cast. The election was held only in that part of the country under the control of the Huerta forces. Maj. Watlington Dead. Maj. W. H. Watlington. a well known character in Guilford and surrounding counties, died yesterday in Durham. He was a native -of Caswell county, about 75 years old, and a Confederate veteran. President Asks For Resignation. Philadelphia, July 4.—President Wilson has requested the resigna-tion of George Fred Williams. Amer-ican minister to Greece and Monte-negro, as a result of Mr. Williams' pubUc statements regarding the sit-uation In Albania. This became known after the president's arrival here today. Mr. Williams' own reports on his statements were taken up at the cab-inet meeting yesterday and after-ward Mr. Wilson decided their ef-fect was such that It would be im-proper for Mr. Williams to longer represent the United States In the Balkans. .. ■ ... t■- «-^- ■'•—--••■ -A- ■-■ - ■ —-.**_* - .1 a .as .Mm* S*J in r ■mmill r vim aflatJaaaMftiaUlBni ^i
