C, will have the pos sibly proud distinction of being the first tawn in the United State ia which a citizen has actually had to go law to obtain the right to use a motor bicycle on the public highways. David L. Carroll .is the citizen in queatior. Incidentally, the Carroll case is the first one in which the Federation of American Motorcyclist hat taken hand. P. D. Watt, mayor of the town, was the author of the ordinance, or bylaw, or motion, responsible for the state of affairs. It appears on the tows recur1 in this form: ... P. D. Watt Mayor Motion to pro hibit, the running of what is known a motorcycles on the streets of the towa, and a fine of $2 for each offense. Mo tion carried. Clerk instructed to post notice-to this effect." ' There are tLree motorcycticts ia Reidsville. The action of the "city fathers" was enough for two of thera. They have not used their macniae sinee the passage of the prohibitive bylaw. Carrol is the third one. He is made of sterner stuff. He applied te the F: A. M. for advice and assistance. Chairsian John C Hlgdon, ef the Le gal Action committee, loforned kin ihere was no doubt of the uncoaatita tionality of the ordinance, and that if he became a member of the erganiza tion and would "get arrested," the F. .

Defend ant contends that the ordinance is constitutional, and is class legislation. nasmuch8 Jt prohibits motorcycles from being, used in the streets, but 'aces no restriction on other veh c'.e. A street or a road ia in law, a public highway, and as such belongs to the public and to all the citizens thereef, and all have the right toltravel theroa by their own selected modes of convey ance, bicycle, foot passenger' or team, four-in-hand,, or an automobile. (Coombs v. Purrington. 42 Me. 332: Barker v. aavage, 45 N.Y. 196; Com monwealth v. Temple, 14 Gray74.) To say that a new mode of a passage shall be banished from the streets, n matter how much the general good may require it, simply because stmts were fairbrother'i Opinion of the GmtnaUrven. ' I noticed in the Daily Industrial News i the other day a very fine advertise-! ment, which doubtless came in through the way of news, that the Pelhara Gretna Green was already stocked up with marriage licenses, and the gentle manly justice of the peace was in shape for the fall rush and run-a-way couples. I, for one, because I have an opportun ity, want right here to enter protest to this Gretna Green business and I am not caring whether it ia located in Pel ham or elsewhere. There has been al together too much sorrow because , of the Pelham marrying place, and it is to be hoped that Justice Pierce will be more discriminating than his predeces sor, f arson Walker. I do not know what Mr. Pierce is doing, but I do know that children! in no way responsible, eloped to Pelham in the old days, and, for the price, Par son Walker married them. They of course repented when mature years were theirs, and it seems to me that a law should be made to stop this sort of business. The marrying proposition is one or serious moment, and while learned men are discussing the divorce question, if they would make a law that made it impossible for boys and girls to enter into the holy bonds of matrimony, the chances are that the divorce mill would not have so much grist to grind. The Pelham crop for the most part comes from the State-of Virginia, and there havebeen some real tragedies en acted because of the fact that a kid, almost in knee-breeches, could go there and be united Jn marriage with a gig gling white-haired girl . who had no more idea of the responsibility she was assuming than a hog iB supposed - to have of the etiquette of a drawing room. I hope, for the good of the world, that my friend, 'Squire Pierce, will be Very guarded in what he does. Al Fairbrolher, in Industrial News. , '; PRICE CONVICTED; SENTENCE PASSED KUIed HrMa and Suic!4a1. Norfolk. Va., Nov. 9. -A special to The Virginian-Pilot says that Hdan Hope, who last night was married is Randolph C. Johnson at Perquimans, N. C, was found dead in her bridal chamber this morning with a pistol in her hand and a bullet wound through her head. Johnson was lying across the bed dead with three bullets ia his head and body. Argument in thcCana Interrftincoa Both Shirt Other New at tfa Ceaatr Seat of Rorkinjrliani. When the keview went -to press last issue the argument in the Chase Price case had scarcely begun and it was therefore unable to give the result of the trial. - The case from start to finish was highly interesting and from day to day the number of spectators in the court room did not seem to de crease. ; 'There were six speeches made, three for the State of North Carolina and three for the defendant. As predicted in our last issue, these speeches were of a high order: they lacked neither fluency or effectiveness, and were marked with that vigor of thought that would naturally characterize utterances of such importance. After being" out something like eighteen or twenty hours the jury re turned their verdict, which was murder in the second degree with a recommen dation that his honor temper justice with mercy. Strong appeals for len iency were made to the judge by Messrs. Scott and Reid and McMichael, after which Judge Bryan said: "Gentlemen, I am here to administer the law. I am not undmindful of the fact that the prisoner is a young man of previous good character, with two interesting little children by his side. The law prescribes the punishment for murder in the second degree at from two to thirty years in the penitentiary. 1 I am not disposed to give the prisoner the limit. I desire to be merciful and the judgment of th Court is that the defendant be c.nfined in the State Pen itentiary for the twin of five years." The prisoner was carried to Raleigh yesterday morning to enter upon tho service of his sentence. Young Henry Lanei who appeared in the Price case, made his "maiden speech" to a jury at the close of the evidence. Although this was Mr. Lane's first appearance at the barl 'lis a homely old adage "The proof of the pudding is in the. eating",:., aiid- like most old things its true. The proof "of good laundry work does not altogether lie in the way the linen looks when it comes back from the laundry but also iu the length of time it wears.

After their wed ding Wednesday night, a large supper and dance followed and about midnight the couple drove to the home of the groom. Their non-appearance about the house in the morning caused in quiry and when the door of the bridal chamber was broken the woman was ' found lying in a pool of blood before her dresser with a pistol in her hand and her brains oozing from the wound i in her head. , Johnson's wounds were in th left breast, the left temple and a grazing wound on the cheek. Either of the1 first two would have proved fatal. No motive for the tragedy can be learned. Later reports contradict the above, and it is probable that is all a fabrica tion and a fake.

It has been uniformly held by th courts that a bicycle ia a carriage, ia meaning of this law, and that as a car riage it is entitled to ail rights and privildgcs of the streets the same as all other carriages, be it a one-horse buggy, four-horse truck, er an ox team (Ladd v. Allen, Supreme Dourt, New Hampshire, 1881.) In Swift v. the city of Topeka (43 Kansas 671) the court also held that the bicycle is a carriage, and discharged the person from cus tody in which he had been held for vit iation of the city ordinane e prohibit ing bicycles from being riddea "acros the Kansas River Bridge.'

Nothing further has been heard from Solicitor Graves, who went to Rich mond Monday rooming during court to have his eyes treated.
