The cose or George Cathey, charged
with retailing liquor to former Sherlt
J. H. Reed, which has been before
Judge Cocke In city police court from
time to time for the past week or
more, was resumed this morning with
several witnesses present to testify
tor the defense. After hearing the
testimony of witnesses for the defense
and upon the statement of Judge
Jones, representing Mr. Cathey, that
he had an Important engagement dur
ing the morning, the case was again
continued until tomorrow morning
when the prosecution, in the hands of
Col. Lusk, head of the Law Enforce
ment league, will introduce. It is said,
additional evidence.
Several witnesses, Including County
Commissioner John R. Patton, Frank
Wolf, Will Glenn and Air. Kesterson,
were introduced for the defense, the
witnesses testifying as to the 85 cents
transaction between .Mr. Heed and
Mr. Cathey, which has heretofore
been gone into. They testitied that
something was said about Mr. Reed
buying drinks; that Mr. Heed said he
did not have enough money and that
Mr. Cathey loaned him SO cents. The
witnesses said that Ab Hlanton bought
the drinks; that he nought the drinks
from a negro.
Commissioner Patton was put
through a severe cross-examinatitm
by Col. Lusk. Col. Lusk intimated
that Mr. Patton had told him a false
hood to keep from testifying for the
state and then questioned Mr. Patton
as to certain moral or immoral inci
dents. Mr. Patton made vigorous de
nial of the intimations or charges.
After Mr. Patton was excused from
the stand Judge Jones said that since
the character of the witness hail been
attacked he desired to subpoena char
acter witnesses. Locke Craig, R. M.
Wells, Hon. W. J.. Cooke, W. R.
Haynes and others testitied to the
good character of Mr. Patton, Mr.
Craig saying that Mr. Patton was a
man of the ".'irst order of character."
All tin' testimony in the case is be
ing taken stenographlcally and after
the evidence is in it is probable that
an entile morning will be consumed
with argument. The case Is one of
the most important that has been
tried In police court for a long time.

News has been received here of a
tight which took place at Jupiter Sat
crday night in which several men
were slightly cut. The names of all
could not be learned but it is said
that the men who did the cutting
wen- two brothers named Watkins,
who live on the old Joe Filer farm
Just across the line in Madison
county.
The trouble started at a house in
Jupiter where a dance was going on.
While the dance was In progress,
Sneed Robinson spoke to a child that
was making some noise in the room
and asked it to keep quiet, and the
Watkins men became offended at the
correction of the child. One of them
struck at RohinBon with his knife and
cut Hobinson's collar in two. Several
other men then ran up and attempted
to disarm the man who did the cut
ting when his brother took a hand
and several men narrowly minded be
ing badly cut. The fight was finally
stopped and the Watklnses succeeded
In crossing the county line. No ar
rests have been made of the Hun
combe county men since it appears
that they did nothing reprehensible.
Robinson did nothing to realty offend
the men and the others were only
trying to stop the light.

HE situation in which the demo
cratic pnrty today finds Itself,
In respect to the country at
larfic, is not dissimilar to that In which
fhelr opponents may he found. In a
previous article It was told how sup
porters of the administration have
planned the enactment, dnrlnn the
next lew Week, of henctlcial and pro
gressive legislation, with a view to
establishing a record of achievement
which would warrant the' president In
iiskinir for another nomination and
election, With the republicans the
thing must be done quickly. Demo
cratic leaders, on the other hand,
hove been pleased to reflect that theirs
would be a futurity event, that they
would not bo compelled to establish
a) record, by which the party is to be
Judged, for u year hence. Plans were
to lie well laid. A new ways and
mean committee, with a tentative
right to serve, wa to spend the sum
mer solitice, so to speak, in framing
up a tariff bill upon which all the 67
varieties of democrats (If the varied
phase, of political thought were still
found to exist) could agree, while a
committee on committee would have

to make a second trial of an experi
ment which thf first time ended din-
astrously. llelerence Is made, of
course, to the proposal to take from
ihe speaker the prerogative of ap
pointing the committees. Most or the
democratic leaders have since the
election shunned all interviewers.
Senator Simmons remarked one day
that a newspaper man representing
a northern paper had sought expres
sion from him and other southern
senator respecting the party's prob
able conduct In the future. The North
Carolina senator thought there would
be no better way to revive differences
.. ... In In tell
ttian lor every ninu w ...... -
what he thought ought to be done,
before things shaped up so as to en
able one to determine, in u measure,
what would be best lor the country
and the party. It was this sort of
feeling, thja democratic Idea to let
' well enough alone for a spell, that re
milted in. changing the object of the
approaching Baltimore meeting. Ln
ea.y lay, every democratic head, until
the word "conference'' had been elim

call It a rally, treat political fetl

FINNEY, secretary of
Appalachian Forest assoc la
in entertaining a lively hope
of the passage of the forest rerve
bill. Mr. Finney, who keeps open
house here for all those who wish to
find out anything about the alms and
objects of the measure, or the pros
pects of Its passage, says he recently
had a talk with SenatCr Crane, and
i that the Massachusetts senator el
pressed the confident belief that the
bill wouM pass. Considerable signifi
cance may be attached to this ex
pression of opinion, since Mr. Crane
in perhaps second in command of the
senate majority, and usually speaks
advisedly when he says anything at
all. Mr. Ftnney does not think a nll
httster airalnst the bill will be pos
sible, or that It will be attempted.
He says thfe calendar will' show that
senators agreed, not merely to take
up the bill for consideration on Feb
ruary 15, but that the formal agree
ment calls for a vote on all amend
ments and the bill Itself on that date.
The real test will come whan tfcn

In the matter of this forest reserve

front with respect to this legislation,
which concerns so deeply the Peoplo
of North Carolina, a movement which
had its inception at Ashevllle. Mr.
Finney remarked the other day that,
in looking over the record of the
early history of the movement, he
had been .truck by the effective work
of Dr. Ambler.
