MORGANTON, N. C, NOVEMBER 23, 1916. Subscription Price 1 Per Year in Advance. LEGAL CONTROVERSY VERY HEATED IN TENTH Congressional Fight Being Bit terly Waged New Develop ments Daily. Arguments in the mandamus hear ing in the congressional controversy in the Tenth District occupied the session yesterday. - Judge Adams expressed the opin ion that the whole controversy pre sented only a few questions of law and that in this there appeared to be only slight controversy between the two parties. He said that what he wished to determine was the follow ing: registrars and judges of election at precincts made legal re turns on the local vote to the can vassing board at its regular meeting on November 9. If so, that aquestion oi law arises: Did the registrars and judges be come functus officio. If they did, did they have the right to make supplemental returns. If the returns were made, did the board legally canvass the returns and certify to the result. If so was this done on November 9? If the board took. this action on No vember 9, did it become functus of ficio, except insofar as to certify the. results to the,, proper authorities? - .., If the proper returns had not been canvassed on November 9, had they been since? . If so, when were they made and what were they? DEUTSCHLAND IS AGAIN ON HOMEWARD VOYAGE. Carries $2,000,000 Cargo and Official Mail For Emperor William. The German merchant submarine Deutschland with a $2,000,000 cargo and official mail for Emperor Wil liam abroad, made another start for Bremen Tuesday afternoon, her dash last Friday being frustrated when she sank a convoying tug, necessitat ing return to port for minor repairs. Her skipper, Paul Koenig, instead of stealing out to sea under the cover of darkness as last week, boldly steer ed down the harbor in broad daylight and without convoy. Local marines were surprised when he again elected to send his craft through the dan gerous waters . of the' Race, where the collision occurred in which .five of the tug's crew were drowned. NO. 27.
