WOMAN MR BEFORE SUPREME COURT Miss Julia Alexander Didn't lyfear the Dignified Judges One Bit Raleigh, April 26. Miss Julia M. Alexander and Chief Justice Clark chose the same ancestors and Wed nesday , morning when the first wom an lawyer who has addressed the court arose to argue the appeal of her father, Judge Clark left the bench to -'the. four anti-feminine Philisines, his unconverted associates. Never did things come to pass with such predestined unfitness. As if to mock the whole thing and deny Judge Clark the joy of gazing directly in the limpid optics of a real woman lawyer rather than the grizzzled dial of an old stag. Destiny played a dou ble" trick. The Clarks and Alexan ders were kins people by ancient mar riage, but Judge Clark down there in Halifax was made double kinsman of Miss Alexander and her father, law yer and plaintiff, so that two reasons drove the illustrious judge off the bench. So the Chief Justice took his chair behind a pUlar of the temple and with face baptized in smiles followed Miss Alexander in her beautiful pre sentation of her brief. Other adjec tives might describe her just as wen but none better. Stepping gingerly up at exactly 11 o'clock, she took her father's case, a restraining order against Auten Auto Hire, Incorporat ed, and C. A. Misenheimer's use of an alley-way, and with both brief and without notes as necessity goaded, she argued Charley W. Tillett to" a finish. S. B. Alexander was the plaintiff. Twenty-ix women came into court and figuratively drank "to the day." There were half as many men, quite a little crowd for a Supreme Court. Among the visitors wa3 Mrs. W. A. Hoke, whose husband sat throughout the hearing without interrogatory of any character. There is no reason for a misunderstanding of this. The judge speaks when he desires. It was his speech that ruined the op portunity of Mrs. Nolan Knight to perform the functions of a notary. He had the last word between Jus tices Walker and Allen on the stand pat side and Chief Justice Clark and Justice Brown on the other. And maybe they didn't puncture Miss Alexander with interrogation FEELING BLUE TAJOCALOTAB Wonderful How Fine You Feel After Taking the New Nausealess Calomel If you have not tried Calotabs, you have a delightful surprise awaiting you.

" Much of your comfort depends upon Knowing that your system will perform its functions properly. .Your kidneys are the filters of the body. Jf they become inactive and fail to elim inate the waste matter, they are apt to throw the whole mechanism of the body out' of order, thus toxic poisons can ac cumulate In the system and be as deadly us snarke venom. Besides causing the minor ailments of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back ache, neglect of the kidneys is apt to develop into more serious diseases, such m stone in the bladder. Eld the body of toxic poisons clean the bladder and kidneys and cure the twinges of rheumatism with Anuria (double strength). Anuric was first discovered by Dr. Pier ce, and has benefited thousands of sufferers as well as appeased and eliminated the ravages of the more serious kidney dis eases. Now procurable at any good drug store, or send direct to Dr. V. M. Pierco Buffalo, N. Y., for trial package. Enclose 10 cents. If you have rheumatism or kidney trouble, why not lot Dr. Pierce's Anuric (double strength) win the battle?

There she was In nice fem inine clothes, dark blue coat suit, big picture hat and ungloved .hands to match. It was always "yesslr" to thes Judges when she agreed with a . a fiM ' r mem ana mey were always uu m v 1 T7M - nn..t an1 4tfMlrt er of the court showed in this Initial appearance of a woman lawyer before the august lady that always drives to panic the barrister who first takes his case up. They didn't feaze her. The first to pop the legal question was Judge Will Allen, who has earned some rep utation as an anti-woman suffragist. The judge wasn't jollying and Miss Alexander disposed of hl3 answor well. Judge Brown sitting next shied a brace of questions at her. She was ready, too, and took on the third. "You say the judge held against the claim of adverse possession, why did he deny the use of a gate across the alley way?" he asked Miss Alexander. "I don't know, sir," she said with great politeness, unwilling to tell the court that Judge Jim Webb, brother of Yates, the worst anti-suffragists, doesn't know any law. She was down here because the 'judge held that way. Judge Walker interposed "You are glad Judge Brown askel you that, aren't you " The case itself wasn't thrilling. S. B. Alexander, father of the young lawyer, obtained the restraining or der holding these defendants from the use of a certain alley-way in Charlotte for other purposes than that of right-of-way. The defen dants obtained an, order modifying the restraining order granted at some prior time and compelled the plaintiff to keep open the gate Swhich the plaintiff had erected in the alley-way. On the final hearing there was a judgment restraining the defendants from parking automobiles or other wise obstruct'ng the alley-way and restraining the plaintiff from erecting fences snd gates or obstructions in this alley-way. To the court's refus al to submit :o tli- 1ury an issue ten dered bv the pliintifi', ard to so much of the judgment as restrans plaintiff excepted and appealed and Miss Alex ander, who fought the case below, brought it to Raleigh. The facts were brief and the con tention was chiefly about the exclu sion of issues from the jury. The al ley-way In dispute had been in use certainly since the middle of the last century, the property went to the (grandmother of Miss Alexander in 1855. The alley-way.-was inclosed 40 years and the greater portion of that time used by the plaintiff's family alone. The fence fell down but was not rebuilt, the plaintiff declaring that no effort was made to use the alley way as a public thoroughfare. Final ly, when the plaintiff built up the gate and fence and turned the keys over to the garage company, it refused the keys and broke open the gate. There was ever afterward room for argument. . Miss Alexander was going along swimmingly in her effort to show the court that the alley-way Is private and that the public has acquired no title by user; she was making head way in contending that the jury should have been allpwed to say whether gates and fences across a way may be erected by the owner of the servient tenement. These were real issues. Having talked them to a juncture, marked by Judge Walker's interrogatory, she said: "Is my time up?" Judge Walker told her she had a word after Mr. Tillett If she liked. Remarkable aplomb Miss Alexan der carried. When judges begin to bombard the average callow barrister up for his first offense, the young ster is a rather sassy brat if he doesn't fall down. Miss Alexander answered them all and Mr. Tillett rose to oppose her. "This is the best- attention I ever saw this court give to an argument,' Mr. Tillett said, confessing that he might be talking himself out of court. .''Unusually impressive largument,' Judge Walker said quietly. "Don't think it ought to be settled on looks," Mr. Tillett rejoined. He was grief-stricken that the chief jus tice could not sit upon "this impoi tant occasion. I am a little on the fence as to suffrage," he continued, "but as to practicing law, why shouldn't women?" Miss Alexander had absorbed all the questions fired at her, but her blarneyed brother bar rister was getting the better of her and she blushed. (Antl-suffragista, take notice). Mr. Tillett was down and out in three minutes and Miss Alexander made no rejoinder. Court broke up here and everybody went up to meet the first woman of the land. whenever You Need a Gene ;ral Strengthening Tonic. Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC.
