EXCELLENT ADDRESSES IN INFORMAL PROGRAM Muny Matters Relating to the- Ad' : ministering of Justice Are vAbly Dlwuswtl. ' The annual dinner of the Ashevllle Bar association held last night at the Manor was a notable affair. A delect able menu was served and a some what Informal program of speeches was' carried out In a way that was very Interesting and entertaining, Nearly all of the members of the lo cal association attended . and there were a few visiting attorneys. It was an occasion at Which lively conversa tion and good fellowship prevailed. Thomas " Rollins acted as toast mas ter and those responding were Judge J. C. Prltchard, R. R. Reynolds, Judge Frank Carter, General T. F. Davidson Judge J. G. Adams, Locke Craig, J. C, Martin, Colonel P. M. Pearsall, F. W. Thomas and Marcus - Erwln. The speakers had been selected for the occasion, but their subjects had not been announced, each being allowed to take his own subject' ' i - Have Kept the Wolf Away. In a few words Mr. Rollins com pllmented the members of, the asso. elation, on a successful year, declar ing that as they had been able to keep the wolf from the door, it i was but fitting that they should meet to gether for celebration. Judge Prltcliard on New Judiciary Act Judge Prltchard mado the first re spnnse and took for his subject the "New Judiciary Act." He made some explanations of the workings of the new law by which the Circuit court of the United States Is abolished, and said he thought that It would be to the interests of the people of the fourth judicial circuit to have three Judges Instead of two; also that the new procedure would have the effect to reduce the expense of litigation, He paid high tribute to the legal pro- fesslon of weutern North Carolina and expressed regret that he would not be In such clone touch with them pro fessionally as heretofore. . In his talk Solicitor Robert R. Rey nolds referred to the remarks of Judge Prltchard and paid high tribute to him. He also spoke of the spirit of friendship that exists among the mem bers of the local bar. "Protertlon of the Person." Judge Frank Carter delivered most interesting snd pertinent address on th subject "The Protection of the Person," saying that there Is no sub ject that Is of more Importance to the legal fraternity than the enforcement of the laws for the protection of hu man life. Property, he said. Is amply protected, but we have far too many homicides tn this part of the state He declared that there are more hoirt lcldes In the Tents district than In the whole of the Dominion of Canada. The laws regarding assaults, he said are crude and archaic In this state, and he mentioned some states that have very - stringent laws In this re spect. Judge Carter said that the bar of ths city could not do Itself more honor than to help frame better laws of this nature. Kemedles Proposed by General Davkl son. ' General Davidson, In his speech, re ferred to a number of subjects In which ths legal profession Is inter ested. He said that the way to stop the indiscriminate use of weapons ii to pass laws forbidding the sale 0 pistols, brass "knucks," dynamite and other dangerous explosives. He com plimented the personnel of the local bar and mentioned the names of some of the lawyers of the period of his youth In this part of tha state to whom hs paid high tribute.

"Tlio Next Governor." Mr. Craig was Introduced as the next governor ofvthe state. He stated that in his travels he had always heard the Ashevllle bar referred to In the terms of the highest respect. In closing, he referred to the admin istration of Justice, saying that he thought the greatest calamity that can befall a state is the hasty administra tion of Justice, and that it would be more to a state's honor that a few escape justice than that it should be administered too hastily. He thought that there Is a tendency to drift away from the Anglo-Saxon heritage of trial by Jury, and, that this, should receive tne attention oi tne Dar. Some Proponed Reforms. Mr. Martin referred to some of the reforms with regard to trial and legal procedure which have been proposed by the State Bar association, and enumerated and explained some of them, such us the division of the ju diclal district Into three circuits and having 24 Superior court , judges, change in the manner of selecting juries, the right of challenge and the abolition of -voluntary ; non-suits. As one of the committee appointed to help frame these laws, he said he would be glad to receive suggestions from the members of the local bar, Colonel Pearsall, a guest from the eastern part of the state, made i short talk. He spoke of the satlsfac tion Judge Carter is giving In that part of the state and complimented Solicitor Reynolds on his personal appearance as one of the best look ing solicitors in the state. j Mr. Thomas differed from Mr. Craig in the view that everything should be tried by Jury; he said that the Jury system, when limited, as It was for centuries .prior to our constltulon of 1868, to actions at law, was good, but that the extension of the jury trial, as has been done In North Carolina, to every disputed issue of fact those arising In equity suits as veil as com mon law actions, Is, in his opinion, a great mistake and is responsible for much of the present day dissatisfac tion with the Jury system. He did not know of any other state where it is compulsory, as It is with us, to sub mit to a Jury the complicated ques tions of fact which usually arise In that class of legal actions which are technically known as "suits in equity," as distinguished from "actions at law." Marcus Erwln, clerk of Superior court, mane tne concluding sppoch a was very fitting, furnishing as It did the culmination of the wit and humor of the evening. He said he had pre pared very lengthy speech for the occasion but took up much of his time in telling what a good time he was having and praising the various mem bers of the bar. He also referred briefly to some of the rules of prac tice in the courts. , Air.
