Dr. Baity Withdraws
Name for Presidency
Dr. Herman G. Baity, head of
the department of civil engineer
ing, who has been prominently
mentioned as a possible succes
sor to President Harry W.
Chase yesterday issued a state
ment declaring that he is not a
candidate "either active or re
ceptive" for " the University
presidency.
Dr. Baity's statement in full
follows:
rtI find upon my return to the
state, after an absence of two
weeks, that some of my friends
have been actively interesting
themselves in my behalf for the
presidency of the University of
North Carolina.
. "I need not state that I shall
be forever grateful for this man
ifestation of confidence and es
teem. The presidency of the
University of North Carolina
offers such unique and appeal
ing avenues of service to the
state that no right-spirited citi
zen' could be indifferent to its
great opportunities.
"I am not, however, a candi
date, either active or receptive,
for . the place and under these
circumstances I feel that, in fair
ness to my friends who have so
generously interested themselves
in my behalf, this public decla
ration should be made now."

disorderly, he asked to be per
mitted to make an appeal to the
audience. The judge assented,

peal met with silence he shout
ed, "You all sounds like a bunch
of tombstones." .

President North Carolina Bcr
Association Addresses Uni
versity Law School.
INDIVIDUALITY HAMPERED
Routine Tasks Develop and Take
Away Independence of
Country Lawyer.
'The chief danger to the
country lawyer is the influence
of the chain system," Kenneth
C. Royall, president of the North
Carolina Bar Association, ' said
here yesterday in an address be
fore the law school of the Uni
versity. 'The earnings of the country
lawyer are not madeby clerical,
work," he said, "for what pays
in law and business is judgment,
intelligence, and the use of the
brain. As routine tasks develop,
independence is threatened. This
is the problem of the country
and small town lawyer."
The rise of the chain stores,
groceries, banks, service sta
tions, and now even chain' bar
bers, was pointed out. The com
ing of the chain barber shop, Mr.
Royall declared, tends to de
stroy one of the fundamental in
stitutions of the country, curb
ing as it does the free and time
honored expressions of opinion
of the barber.
Public meetings protesting
against the chain store will get
nowhere, for they are merely
gestures. The only solution is
to develop a better economic
means. As a result of the influ
ence of the chains, Mr. Royall
pointed out,-lawyer's clients are
becoming more and more non
residents of the state. The work
is becoming routine. Corpora
tions and big businesses tell the
lawyer how and where to gath
er evidence, what points to in
vestigate, and even supply
blanks in title-searching, so that
the country lawyer need merely
fill it in and do no original work
of his own.
In stating the advantages of
the country lawyer as against
those of . the . city lawyer, Mr.
Royall said that the city lawyer
had more chances of obtaining
large fees, and a better chance
of obtaining prominence, in ad
dition to the advantages of city
life. .
On the other hand, the coun
try lawyer is able to start prac
tising immediately, without a
period of clerkship, he is in a
position of independence, has a
far more diversified law , prac
tice, and may easily become a
man of prominence and posi
tion in his home town.
The country lawyer, Mr. Roy
all stated further, gets a gen
eral training. A man who
specializes so that he knows only
one side of the law, is not a
good lawyer, he said. Through
the variety and volume of his
business, the country lawyer
obtains a good knowledge of hu
man nature, and acquires a
readiness, ability and wit to
meet unexpected , situations. Be
cause of his more general ex
perience, a trial lawyer of North
Carolina, according to the speak
er, will be a star in New York
or any other part of the coun
try. "The North Carolina lawyer
relies on his wits too much," Mr.
Royall said. "He must be bet
ter prepared, and he must have
an organized bar association to
back him up. Such an associa
tion can fixa -minimum schedule
of fees, prevent lay practice of
ilaw by corporations and big
