onm of court on absentee law CIVIL ACTION ENTERED LAST YEAR FOR THE PURPOSE OP PINAL DECISION. UPHOLDS CONSTITUTKM ? ? , ' *? y '? ^ ? Opinion Firm on Tho Pdbk That tho Socrocy of Tho Ballot it Matter #of Privilege of Tho Voter. RaMah. Thtf Supremo Court of North Caro lina has declared it^ faith In the cons titutionality of the Absentee Voters Act and affirmed Judge John H. Kerr's denial of the Republican motion to en join the State Board of Elections, the State Auditor, and the State Treas ^-?er from complying with the provi sions of the law. The civil action entitled J. J. Jen king vb State Board of Elections, et al, was heard before Judge Kerr in Wake Superior Court September 16. Judge George H. Brown wrote the opinion of'the court and Chief Justice Walter Clark concurred. Both opinions are firm on the point that the secrecy of the ballot is a mat ter of privilege for the protection of the voter and may be waived as a per sonal right and neither flpde anything in the way of constitutional violation in the fact that election officials view the ballot of the absentee voter be fore it Is cast. In addition, Judge Brown points out that t?e language of the constitution "is susceptible to a fair interpretation which will sustain the statute" and in this case It is the duty of the court "to uphold it and to give it the benefit of the doubt." Moreover, passing to the consideration of the text of the Constitution, Judge Brown holds that the context of Article 6 ?f the Consti tution "ir^dicatej that the personal presence of the voter Is not required to cast his ballot. / _mmmmm?? Solicitor Sets New Precedent. At the Instance of Mr. W. C. Doug lass, Judge John H. Kerr, {residing over Wake county superior court, | formerly ruled that it is "within the I prerogative of the solictor to refuse I the services of other attorneys retain ed to assist him in the prosecution of cases on the criminal docket. The matter came to the attention of the court when Solictor Herbert E. N*arris refused an apology tendered i him in open court by Mr. Douglass for criticism of the solictor made at the September term of court and the 1 solictor later forced Clyde A. Doug-1 lass to retire from a case in hich the ?on of the older attorney had been re tained. The action is'said to be with out precedent and caused quite a stir. ? r ? Overman Pleased with Work Washington. (Special). ? Senator Overman on being questioned con cerning the work of the agricultural conference In session for the Ust two days said the meeting had served to 'emphasize the real situation in t%e marketing of farm products, such aft cotton, tobacco, wool and Wheat, and that he waa confident the Federal Re serve Board and the hankers of the country would potr solve the problem to the satisfaction of the farmers. Con'emporaneous with the confer ences of the farmers' organisations here are the conferences ot the Fed eral Reserve "Board and the bankers from every part of the,country. Too Much Cotton Being Sold. Cotton farmers In the state are marketing this year's crop much fast c. than officials of the North Carolina Cotton Association like and which, to their minds, precludes the possibility of forcing the price back towards the forty-cent mark of last year.
