March Term Superior Court
Began Monday, March 20th
The spring term of Superior court
opened Monday with his nonor Judge
A; Lioyd Hoi ton presiding. Judgt
Horton lias the distinction of being
the youngest Superior Court judge in
the btuLt. Naturally the public eye
has been a little more keenly direct
ed toward him than would have been
,/ toward an older man but the impres
sion is growing that a young judge
can hold the scaels of justice as steady
as an old judge.
The charge of Judge Horton touch
ed more perhaps on the purpose ol
life thau on its crimes. He defined
happiness as being tfie true purpose
of life and pointed out tha ttlie onyl
-need of law is protecetion of person,
property and morals. Among the
crimes which are punishable by death
are murder, rape, arson and burglary.
The principal crimes against the per
son wiueh are punishable by line oi
imprisonment are slander, assault, se
duction, kidnapping etc. One of the
crimes against property rights i_ lar
ceny, which is the taking and carry
ing away the property of others se
cretly and without authority.
Gambling was touched on at some
length, the charge and some special
classes were defined, gambling in cot
ton futures, stocks, crap; poke ana
other kinds of chance. It wa:> hit.
conclusion that cotton and stock gam
bling madei more hungry and
homeless women and childreif than
crap and poker though that class ol
gambling can be done by elders ano
deacons, yet it as much against the
law as it is for negroes to gel ou,
at some sheltereed spot in the woods
and play fo la few nicklces.
The concealed weapon was given
due consideration the numerous timet
which it causeed trouble, the ie\
times it does any good ami yet how
great numbers carry them. Perjurj
was characterized as one of the most
corruptible crimes, yet a very coin
mon one often committed when then
is very little at 3take. The violation
of the prohibition law was also
brought up. .
The court stressed the point that
al Haws were equal and that if wi
are to preserve and protect ourselve.\
our propeerty and our morals we must
enforce all laws alike. One of th»
most striking features of the entire
charge was that in the twenty-neve,
counties in' which Judge Horton ha
held court seventy-ftv eper cen tol
tue criminals brought before him hav
been young peoples generally eeigh
tuen to twenty-five years of age and,
as he says, there is a reason for it
The principal cause is the lack o
proper home training, too much free
doNi is giv«n children. They i ■
restrained and the ide&la ai right i.
wrong aree not emphasized as the;
should be and it is ground for n
ious alarm.
The following cases were disposed of:
State vs. Roy Strawbridge. There
were several charges against this de
fendant among which were two
charges of assault with deadly wea
pon The motion for judgment ab
solute made at the December term
- was continued- at request of the de
fense euntil the June term.
State vs. Linwood Swell. Carrying
concealed weapon. Nol pros with

THE ENTERPRISE
MAINE STARTS THE BIG
DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE
The Democratic land slide last week
starteed in Maine, headed for the Pa
cific coast, and produced the follow
-11!:; municipal results in the Pine Tree
state:
lewiston, Waterville, Rockland ~aco
and liuldle ford all elected Democrat
ic mayor sand in each case gained con
trol of the city government. Sato has
not had a Democratic mapor since
1911; the Democratic candidate in
Waterville was elected by the great
est majority sever given and candi
date in the history of the city; and
Lewiston also gave a record-break
ing majority. In addition to these
victories the Republioan candidate tor
mayor in Bath was defeated by a
citizen's aendidate, nominally a Dem
ocrat.
Referring to bad government under
a former Republican administration
in Rockland, the Knox Messenger of
that city a paper of ability and sound
judgment, commenting on the Maine
Democratic landslide, says:
"But we feee lthat there is a deepe
er reason this year for the wide Dem
ocratic margin. It is une of the signs
of the times which have been appear
ing so profusely since the American
people learned that the G.O.P. aad
handed them a gold bi icki in 1920.
Does not the fact that Marion, Ohio
—Warren Harding's own town—
Northampton, Mass.—Cal. Coolidge's
own town—Saco, Me.—Republican
since 1911; Waterville, Lewiston, etc.,
etc., have all gone smashingly Demo
cratic point to anything in your
mind? It means to us that the Great
Reaction has set in and that Rock
land, in going Democratic, has but
exidenced the change of heart being
felt from Maine to Oregon.
"This is a eDmocratic Year."
HARVEY CONTINUES TO
SHRINK
Ambassador George Harvey seems
to grow smaller and smaller as time
goes by. Senator John Sharp Wil
liams (Dem., Miss.} referred to his
relative importance in national affairs
in a reecent speech on the Four-Power
Treaty. Senator Williahis had men
tioned some great names ni English
history, when eSnator Ashurst (Dem.,
Ariz.) facetiously remarked: "I hope
the Senator will not forget George
Harvey."
"1 dec'ine," said Senator WlHianis,
"to be diVsrtede from the givat sub
lime heights to which my oratory has
just a momeent ago riseen to the con
templation of George Harveye. Not
withstanding the prevailing influence
which the Senator from Arizona j*
entitleed to have with me, I dec Ii in
to have my sublimity of thought
brought down to George Harvey. 1
would not mind if one of the pageex
were mentioned by name, but I do
not want to fool with George Har
veey while 1 am in earnest about a
national question."
Slate vs. Roy Gurganus. Assault
with deadly weapon. Not guilty.
State vs. John Thomas. Assault
with deadly weapon. Sentenced to
two years on Edgecombe county roads
State vs John Jones. Carrying con
coaled weapon. Fined $50.00 and the

through counsel entered a plea of sec
ond degree murder and the State ac
cepted the plea, whereupon the court
sentenced the defendant to the state
prison for a term of twnty-flve years.

FIRST YEAR OF THE
REPUBLICANS' RULE
"No Republican is entirely satisfied!

Congressman Carl W. Riddick (Rep.,
Mont.), Chairman Publicity Commit

mittee.
At the end of its first year the Har
ding Administration finds itself polit
ically bankrupt. All its campaign
notes have gone to protest. If gov
ernment were subjected to the ordi
nary vicissitudes of private business
the Republican party would now be
ih the hands of a receiver and its
leaders would be tramping the streets
ih search of a job,—New York World
(lnd.)
"The Postmaster General (Hays),
ha snot been werth a five oent piece
since he has been Postmaster Gener
al. He does not know anything a
bout the Post Office Department.
Congressman Jamas R. Mann (Rep.,.
111.) former floor leader.
"The American people are begin
ning to realise that they have been
deceived. Three years of Republican
control of Congress and one year of
the Harding admniist ration have
brought concrete examples of the dis
astrous consequences of Republican
rule."-—Senator William H. King
(Dem., Utah).
"A little more treasury raiding, u
little more bludgeon politics, and thi
matchless 7,000,000 popular majority
of the Republican party in the last
presidential election will bury the Re
publican party in the next election.—

RAILROADS LOSE OUT
IN THEIR TAX FIGHT
(By Maxwell Gorman)
Kaleigh, March 21.—Jhe State ad
ministration i steeling mighty (food
just now over the victory of the state
in the case brought by the railroad*
ugoinst the statu and revenue com
missioner Watts which sought to ee
vade large sums iu taxes.
The interlocutory injunctions which
the roads sought in the fedarl courts
against the collection of state taxes
w»re denied in a unanimous opinion
handed down by Judge Ed Wadd ill of
of the Cirouit Court of impale, Judge
Connor of the Eastern NurtJi Carolina
district and Judge Boyd of the west
era North Carelina district.
By denial of the injunction* if the
opinion is affirmed Wy the Supreme
Court of the United States, to which
an appeal will be }takan direct, the
taxing unite of the statfi will coU«k
annually practically one million dol
lars in ad valorem and franchise taxe*
that would no thve been paid had the
decision gone the othor way. In ad
dition, (here it Involved taxation up
on the incomes at the ,at» of three
per cent upuon the taxable net in
come, which involves a large amount
of money, the exact amount of which
is not known. All of these taxes
have been Axed for a perlo dof three
years, making the aggregate amount
well up into tlue millions.
The opinion ends the agreemenet ci
tered into between tlue state and the
railroads uUt October under the terms
of which the railroads paid tho taxes
not in dispute while the Ktute made
no egort to collect the ermuinder.
In the individual orders signed in
each case, u period of thirty days was
granted tluo railroads before the opin
ion will become operative. This ex
tension was granted In order per
mit the railroads to avail themselves
of all the reemdieg afforded by law.
Lnde rthe judicial code an appeal may
be taken directly to the Supreme
Court of the United States, with a
request for a stay of proceedings,
pending decision by the Supreme court
The code also provides that the oase
shall be exvedited for hearing by tlue
highest court.
In the event the opinion of the
three judges should be overruled and
the Interlocutory injunctions granted,
the cases will then bo returned for
hearing on their merits. But if the
Supreme oCurt affirm a the opinion of
the three judges, the ouses will then
be ended efor practical proposals ai(/
the suits will be dismissed.
Able Counsel for State
I, Credit fo rthe victory is being giv
pne largely to the great lawyers se
lected by Governor oMrrison to as-'
sist the Attorney-General in this case,
these eincluding from Supreme Court
Justice Graye H. Brown; Hon. Thomas
L> Warren; Hon. W P Bynum and At
torney-Geenral Manning. Of course
the railroads had u number of the
ablest corporation lawyeers in the
country emtployed in the suit but they
were well matched when they engaged
in legul combat yfith the four N. C.
lawyers named.

THE LEGEND OF THE
FIRST DRUNKARD
Noah lost hi* epithet "The Pious,"
whe nhe began to occupy himself with
the glowing to vine. He became u
'ii.ur o!' te ground," and this first at
tempt to produce wine at the same
time produeed the first to drink to
eacess, the first te utter curses upon
hie associates, and the flrst to intro
duce slavery.
This ia the way it all came about:
Noah found the vine which Adam had
taken with him from Paradise, when
he was driven forth. He tasted the
grapes upon it and finding them pala
table, he resolved to plant the vine
and tend it. On the selfsame duy on
which he planted it, it bore fruit; he
put it in the wine press, drew oif the
juice, drank it and became drunken,
and wai dishonored—all on one day.
Hie assistant in the work of culti
vating the vine wan atan, who ha«l
happened along at tha very moment
when he was onyaged in planting the
slip he had found. ' Satan asked him
"What is it thou art planting hero?"
Noah answered, '"a vine." Satun.
"and what may be the qualities of
what it produces?" Noah: "The t'i*uit
it bear* is sweet, be it dry or
it yiedls wine that rejoiceth the bvurt
of man." Satan: "Let u* go into part
nership in this business of planting
a vineyard." Noali: "Agreed, Sat
Satau thereupon slaughtered a laimk
and then In succession, a lion, a pig
and a monkey. The blood of each as
it was killed he made to How under
th* fine. Thus luo conveyed to Noah
what the qualities of wine are: before
a man drinks of it ho is innocent a/
a lamb; if he drink* of it moderately
he feels a* strong a* a lion; if la
drinks more of it than he can bear
he resembles the pig; and if he drinks
to the point of nitoxication then he
behaves like a monkey, he dances
around, slugs talks obscenely and
knows not what ho is doing. This de
terred Noah no more than did the
example of, Adam, whose full hail also
been due to wine, for the~Toi;bilden
fruit had been the grape with which
he hud made himself drunk.
