ONCE UPON JULY 20th What is the most famous courtroom oration ever made in this country? This writer’s guess used to be James Otis’ argument in Boston Superior’ Court against the “writs of assistance” which caused John Adams to say that on that day “the child Independence was born.” Letters that came from readers of this column after reference was made to the birthday of George Graham Vest indicate that Vest’s plea for a dog is better known. Vest, then United States senator from the State, was in court in a small Missouri town, awaiting trial of a case in which he was interested, when he was asked to assist in a civil suit against a man who had shot a dog. He spoke extemporaneously. Th« dog’s owner had asked damages of S2OO. After hearing Senator Vest’s plea, the jury awarded damages of SSOO. He is equally deserving of renown for a plea he made 85 years ago this week in behalf of a colored youth ac cused of murdering a white woman and her two children. Vest was on his way to California when an acci dent to his stage caused him to stop at Georgetown, Mo. The town was alive with excitement because of the impending trial of the colored youth. No local lawyer would undertake to defend the accused man. The trial was looked upon by the townspeople as a mere formality, and the authori ties regarded as over-zealous for not allowing a mob to make short work of justice. Vest, with courageous conscienti ousness that characterized him throughout his life, undertook the defense, and succeeded in clearing the boy before the examining court.

ON OTHER JULY 20ths 1577—The Christian Gospel was first preached in America, at New foundland, it is recorded in Richard Kaklyt’s classic Divers Voyage Touch ing the Discovery of America. The worshippers who listened to the Church of England clergyman were from the fleets of Spanish, Portuguese French and English fishing vessels at Grand Banks. 1628—The first election by ballot was held in America: John Wilson was elected pastor at Salem, Massa chusetts Bay Colony. 1859—Baseball became a business. A set admission (50c) was charged for the first time at a game when Brook lyn and New York City teams played in the center field of Sheephead Bay race track. 1,500 spectators paid. The players received no money. AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today —Cunard liner Carpathia, the ship that saved most of the Titanic’s survivors, was sunk off the Irish coast by a torpedo. It was being used as a troop ship. A U-boat got another transport the same day—the liner Justica—also off the Irish coast. The south bank of the Marne was cleared of the enemy, as the six Ame rican and two French divisions con tinued their steady advance on the Soissons-Chateau Thierry front. The Communist government in Moscow finally admitted that the ex- Czar has been killed in Siberia, but added: “The wife and son of Nicholas Romonoff have been sent to a place of safety.” This was a lie. The en tire family had been murdered. You're Telling Me*** England’s new air traffic regula tions may be more difficult to enforce than is now expected. For one thing, a pilot, caught crashing a red light, can always alibi he thought it was Mars. Whether a husband considers his wife’s new hat cute or crazy depends largely on how much he’ll have to pay for it. Having an expensive war on their hands, the Japanese felt it necessary to cancel plans to stage the next Olympic games. Like most of us. the Japs can’t afford more than one luxury at a time. The average office boy’s idea of heaven is a place where they have free double-headers every day, the home team winning them all. The popularity of the newest and finest night club in town proves again the truth of the old adage—that the world will beat a path to your door if you build a better souce (cq) trap. We are generally more athletic than our great-grandparents, sav bio logists. No wonder —they didn’t get all that exercise crawling into and out of motor cars. Grits and Gravel ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ By T.

Williams; Ray mond’s twins from Charlottesville, Charles and Calvin;, little Miss Gladys Clark from Durham, and us. After we had all talked awhile, block cream and angel’s food cake were served. Anything which hap pens at Daddy Jones’ house is always followed by songs and prayer, so we all sang several old-time hymns, and he prayed one of his old-time prayers. The little folks sang, “Happy Birth day To You,” to grandpapa. We sang, “God Be With You Till We Meet Again,” as we left, all hop ing to meet for a similar celebration in another year. T.

Corrigan’s latest idea is to fly a round the Eiffel tower in Paris. He probably won’t, because he has to be getting home before long, and the United States government has sus pended his experimental license. Here’s how the situation shoped up for the California aviator, who still insists a compass error took him across the Atlantic instead of to Cali fornia. He’d like to go places, London first and then Paris, if it weren’t for the feeling he should go home. “I should like to fly around the Eiffel tower. Then I would have some thing to talk about.” He won’t accept any contracts un til he returns to Amreica.

Capital Gossip BY HENR V AVERILL - Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 20. —With three can didates in the field for speakership of the 1939 House, the possibility is al ways present that the whole thing will end in a deadlock and with no one of the three able to secure the majority needed for selection by the caucus. As a matter of fact, there are nu merous indications that such a dead lock is not at all improbable in Jan uary, with Durham’s Victor S. Bryant and Craven’s Libby Ward reasonably close together and the third candi date, Nash’s Bill Fenner behind; but with strength and to spare to prevent a selection of either Bryant or Ward. Not predicting at this stage that there will be a deadlock, this cor respondent passes out the tip, for whatever it may or may not be worth, that' Martin county’s Hugh Horton is the “dark horse” on which to bet if and provided such a situation does arise. The conductor of this column is in recipt of a “special invitation” from Wilmington’s Mayor Thomas E. Coop er to attend the meeting there August 5 of the North Carolina Association of Mule Dealers, of which the effer vescent Thomas is president. Flappers are preferred, even among poultrymen, according to C. F. Par rish, extension poultry specialist at State College, who says: “One good laying pullet will earn a poultryman more money than two older hens.” Saturday will be historical day at Fort Raleigh, Manteo and Roanoke Islnad. They’ve plenty of history to recall and commemorate, too. Turmoil At TVA Hearing For Morgan (Continued from Page One.) Ohio, said the committee’s policies were “free and above board, and we have asked any one to come before the committee to tell us what he night know of the administration of the TVA.” Biddle broke in, “W e are conduct ing this probe, and not Dr. Morgan.” Representative Woolverton, Repub ican, New Jersey, asked: “Has there een any proceeding whereby Dr. Morgan must sec counsel before he as access to TVA records or TVA employees?” “les,” Dr. Morgan replied. Woo’vorton—“Do you prefer free md open access to them?” Morgan —“I have been informed that TVA employees were instructed not to see me. Therefore, it has been easible that I work through, com littee counsel in seeing employees .nd records.” ANSWERS TO TEN QUESTIONS See Back Page 1. Seventy. - 2. Peso. 3. Flax. 4.
