" ."What do ytu think of the United Statea supreme wuri decision iu me Wood case T" asked an Observer man of a Charlotte lawyer yesterday, 'Oh! Well." responded the law yer. with a shrug of his shoulders, "I think It proves one thing pretty clearly: that Governor Glenn had ., serine enough to get In out of a show t-r of rain .The aforesaid opinion of (he Unit -W v Mates supreme louri, as puDiisn VIi That llhun.f waa tha ahanrh. Ing topic of conversation on the ' . - wsaAn. T - .unlla the stirring times of last, nummer. when there was blood on the moon brought there largely by Governor Glean, who was sending out letters to the Judges and solicitors. urging them to Indict the railroad agents for . -selling tickets at the old rates, assert ing that Judge Prltchard's injunction - should have no effect In deterring the State officials from prosecuting the railroads and their agents. , The newspapers all over the country caught the excitement and everybody was on the jqul vtve to see what would happen next in the struggle for auoremacy between the Federal and the State courts. THE RAILROADS BACK DOWN, " "It was Judge B. F. Long," contln ued this Charlotte lawyer, "who 'lived op to his privileges.' as dear old Capt. George Bason used to say, and Judge Long convicted both the .railroad ajent at Raleigh and also the (Southern Railway Itself, . and lined the company $10,900. My! Bu what a paralyser that was! It lit erally filghtened the railroads to death. 'Then It was that these com panles deliberately left the friendly shelter afforded by Judge Prltchard's Injunction. Those of us who had been listening for the clash of resounding arms saw, the railroads lay down their arms and surrender to Governor Glenn and agree to put the new rates in force, reserving to themselves the mall Dlttanca of the nrlvileare tn ear ,' ry the Wood case to the Supreme vw, M . . v . v v. d.u.v n e a ftox mat tuiun irruunai mignx nave to say on' tha situation. "No one who read the papers can forget how mortified Judge Prttchard was at the back-down of the rail roads, for. he raid that he stood ready at all times to uphold the dig nlty and authority of his court, but. alas, tha railroads dared pot rink It "Then the Wood case went up to the Supreme Court of the United . States and was argued by able law yers. It was a mighty contest. Speak er Justice being the champion or the State's rights and the chief up holder of the law which his Legisla ture had passed. He and his asiio ciates argued that the -sovereignty of the State of North Carolina had been assailed by Judge Piitchard. and that. in the original case where the corpo ration commission and the other State officials were made parties,, the State, itself, was being sued, in direct viola flon nf thfl - eteiventh. "arrinffrflnf( TO the United 8tatea constitution, which forbids a State to be dragged Into cuuri against its consent oy 'anyirnns; ires man anoiner sovereign state. THE CONTENTION OF THE RAIL- ; ROADS. "The attorneys of the railroads, on the other hand, argued in the Bu preme Court that the law passed by . the Legislature was void, because it Imposed so many penalties and was so drastic In Its provisions that It pr6i vented the railroads from even con testing Its validity, and the railroads also contended that, inasmuch as Judge Prltchard had taken jurisdic tion of the original case and had 1 ' sued an order, allowing the railroads to put the old rates Into effect,' that. therefore, no one could -be punished " for obeying Judge Prltchard's order, even though his act was a' violation of tha provisions of the North Caro lina statute. c . , "These seem to be the questions which the Supreme Court was called on to decide, and, from the report of tha opinion, it appears that -both of the- questions were decided In fa vor of the railroads and against the State. - "A new Interest In the situation was added by the opinion of the "Su preme Court of North Carolina on the appeal . from Judge Long';. Judg ment, fining the railroad 130,000. On that appeal, tha highest court- in North Carolina, speaking thtough Judge P, D. Walker, decided that the railroad company was nt liable to th fine, but, at tvi gam time, the court, In an exhnuctlv.. op I Men. held uat th State of North Canlna was a party to the original suit before Judge Prltchard and that he, there fore, had no Jurisdiction of the case, and that his Injunction was no pro tection to the agent at Raleigh, who was before Judge Long's court. - "This Was the opinion, by the way, which was so much discussed, and the railroad lawyers praised the first part of the opinion, as being one of the ablest ever written, and ' con demned the second part as being Il logical and unsound, while, on the other hand, those who were whoop ing np the State's side of the' contro versy praised Judge Walker as a great lawyer while he was holding that Judge Prltchard had no Juris diction of the orglnal case, but said that he nodded while he was writ ing that part of the opinion holding that the railroad company was not liable for the S30.000 fine. "A good many lawyers la tlte State thought thst possibly the Su preme Court of the United States would be Influenced by this opinion of Judge Walker's, and would follow It In holding that Judge Prltchard had no Jurisdiction of the original case, but It seems that this opinion was not followed by the Supreme Court of the United 8tate. as that court seems to have held that Judge Prltchard did have Jurisdiction of the cane. "There has been pate an adverse decision by the Su preme Court' of the United states, capitulated with the railroad compa nies' and ' the result - of these nego nations was a compromise measure wnjen was put Into effect by tne special session of the: Legislature which met at Raleigh a few weeks ago." "What effect has this decision upon the South Carolina dispensary case? asked the reporter, 'i'he lawyer re plied that, without the full text of the Supreme Court opinion before him. he .could not tell, but that it did seem that the opinion .had some bearing upon the South Carolina con troversy. ' . . . : It Is contended that, -because the South Carolina Supreme Court had construed the State statute and had held that Judge Prltchard had no jurisdiction to place the dispensary In the hands of a receiver, there fore, the ' United States Court was bound by that decision, of the South Carolina State court, but, now, since tha Supreme Court of the United States has refused to ; follow the North Carolina Supreme Court In its holding upon the question of juris diction, therefore, ' Judge Prltchard nay feel that he is not obliged to follow the . South . Carolina State court, and he .may insist on having his Judgment executed, directing that the dispensary fund be turned over to the receivers appointed by him, This will bring about a square con Diet between the two courts In South Carolina, and so, as the curtain goes down on the North Carolina drama. It rises on one still more Interesting In a sister State. DEATH 0FEV.2J.II.TI0YLE . LONG, USEFUL CAREER, ENDS. WATCHMEN ARRAIGNED.

The outgrowth of complaints " by cltieens alleging Careless service by employes of the Southern Railway entrusted with the manipulation of the gates at the crossing on West Trade street is Indictments lodged against Isaac Rosser, white, day watchman, and Butler Robertson, colored, the night watchman.

The chief of police testified that various citizens have been complain ing that there Is a dangerous de gree of i carelessness displayed, the gates, on one occasion having been down-, while a; train was passing. Although the court was not certain that tha company, should be indicted, the city attorney maintained that the statute reads "agents" and this made the' men Individually .responsible for negligent acta.
