VOL. XLVIII Judge Connor ' ' Against Lawyers' Making Bonds Merchants' Association Will Try to Get Garnishee Bill Passed. CASE AGAINST ALLK«JJJ> ISOIS- 1 i;ks I)ismissi;i>. (BY MAXWELL GORMAN.) Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 12. —Su- perior Court judge Georire W. j Connor has just made a ruling in j Durham Ooun , y Court that should I be adopted by every judge on the . Superior Court, "bench" and made to bo binding in every court in North Caroling, wherein he order ed the clerk of the court to make an entry in his official records that on and after January Jst "law furnish bail for'aifemtsi involved in criminal Court cannot : represent said clients in Superior Court. Judge Connor has had ample cause to recoguifce the need j of such action on this part, and , there is no doubt that every other I Superior Court judge in . orth Carolina'has had an i.mplff justi-! iication for such a ruling, itnd if, they are as-ready as he to protect, the cause of justice and the, good nine of the courts they will notj hesitato or del>iy in making effect-j ive this order in their respective judicial districts. j Many of Our ablest men are law-] yers. But if that statement should ' bo left to stand alone, it were bet ter that it had not been said. Fori some of the most unscrupulous, defenders of criminals and law breakers are also, of course, "law- ( yers." No intelligent person will | deny that the courts themselves need protection from the machi nations of a considerable percent age of the men licensed tj "prhc the law" and who take advantage I ,of every opportunity and "tech-j ideality" (and seek to create them j when they do noi otherwise pre-1 sent themselves) to cheat justice,! render void the operation of j statutes against crime and crimi- [ nals in their efforts to "acquit''j criminals whom they have been; employed to "defend." Thel average "lawyer" loses, sight of the court motto, "Fiat justicia mat coelutn," when he meditate i upon the "fee" ho is working for ; —and the larger the fee thel darker the eclipse for the court j motto. But there are two other class s | of "attorneys-at-law," one worse ! and tho other representing the j moral and intrinsic worth of one! of the greatest professions. It is ; against the first the real aud not; misnamed "sV'ster lawyer," that; Judge Connor nas found it neces- j sary to protect his court. Too] much could not be said in hoi or, ■of the latter class of lawyers re ferred to, professionally aiul. in-1 dividual!}', fur we all know that some of the best mou in every community are members of the legal profession —and that some of these do not like to take crimi nal cases, while others of the, saeie class "practice in the civil, courts only." «, While on this suoject it is proper to state-that unless there' shall occur a real and genuine "reform" in the coming years, the belter class ot lawyers ought to j —nsic protection from some men w;io have disgraced ha "judicial ermine" while in the discharge of i.uty, and litigants in the courts c r duly woufd be justified in t... sanding "safe conduct" on the j bench and in tho jury box while their cases were being "tried." - J A jury too ignorant or careless or prejudiced to grasp the merits and facts of a "case" that nas been faithfully presented to them t>y a lawyer and too unQt to rsn der a verdict in keeping with the evidence should never bo em pttti ne led . A j idke who .asu't tin grip or backbone, or who is too THE ALAMANCE GLEANER | unconcerned to "set aside" a ver 'dict that is plainly contraiy to the , evidence, ought to resign. And |if he does not, ho should be re ■j lioved of further service on the 1 bench. As to tho jack-leg law- | yers who chase ambulances and | "stand bail" for criminals in order Jto %et' tho "case" of defending I the criminals they keep out of I jail pending trial —well, as we I havo sa.d, Judge Connor is after theiu Hb last, and every other judge in the State should follow (suit. That Garnishee Hill Again* I It is noted that the secretary of I tho Stale Retail Merchants' As sociation is out in another "inter view" in some daily papers about t what he is going to demand in the j name of the association of the- I new Legislature, which assembles three weeks hence And that he -uas "s '011" the assistant attorney g/mer.ii, Mr. Nash, aud gotten his approval of certain of tho prb ! posed demands. Some of the matter.-, referred to -are feasible ; and right. That which propose* to make more effective tho statute , against utterin worthless checks ;oy parties who escape because I they once carried small bank ac counts at the banks upon which they later draw c iecks after all , their funds have been withdrawn; |is one of them But, there is no merit and loss justice in other ! proposed new legislation. That I .vhicr. would make every person | who works for wages or salaries 'subject to a propose' "garnishee' law that would authorize every ' merchant to "garnishee" through j the law on the wages of any per ! »on wiio may not be able to settle ' |an account with a merchant just j when the merchant shall demand such settlement, would be a mon strosity that the voters of the j State would not stand for, even if I both political parties, as repre isonted in the Legislature, should I vote to enact such an unjust law. iin referring to this subject very recent y, we had occasion to state that the merchants .netnselves were so fully "protected" from j their creditors that they could I "fail" and by "duo process" of lexisting laws open up again and bo immuuo from the collection of any debt they owed when the first failure occurred. It may be add led now, that such a "garnish ment" statu'e, as the Merchants' Association is »ow demanding (or at least its secretary is clamoring At) would enable a merchant to levy on tho current wages of a I working man aud collect for mer chandise which he (the merchant) had not himself paid for] and ■ might never pay for—no matter what the eircumstances, illness of wile and kiddies of the laboring | man or what not. Charge Against A.alior Ollirial Dis missed. There was distinctly a fishy smell attached to the news dis ! patch which appeared in the State I dailies several weeks ago to the leftect that an official of a Rocky j Mount labor organization, con ! nected with the railroad group, ' been arrested on the charge oPhaving bee-n connected with an ;alleged "bombing" of somebody's 'house in that place, and carrying the implication that the recent | railroad shopmen's strike there! I had something to do with it. The arrest followed the an-1 inouncenient that an u:iusuallv| large reward had been offered for J the apprehension and conviction ; oi die . usity parties, etc., ami thai, circumstances added 10 the belief that some unscrupulous sleutl^ ui.ght have inspired the ar rests in the hope of collecting' the | big reward.

It j is also shown that marriage tends to lengthen the span of life in both sexes, to favor lieal lii and well-being, and to postpone the physical and mental signs of old ag" The lonely aging man may not re new his youth by fs>K!ng In love and marrying, but a peaceful conjugal life will undoubtedly add to Ids chances of enjoying the last stage of his jour ney.

The rabbit is ordinarily one of the tlinidest of animals, yet this story, which a contributor sends us, concerns a mother rabbit that, for a little time, was as brave as any lioness could be, the Youth's Companion relates. When I -was a small boy, our con tributor writes, uiy father took ine with him to pick bluckherrles 011 the western bank of the Ohio river. The bushes were in u rather dense forest, and soon my father and I became sep arated. Presently I found myself in a 1 little circular glade perhaps 15 feet In I dlameti r and was busily tilling my | small pall when suddenly I heard something scurrying along near my ! feet. As I looked down a little brown I rabbit leaped into the open space and stopped close to me.

The weasel turned to at* ! tack her, and there might'have been a i thrilling light; but at that moment all a small boy's longing for a menagerie hpi metl to well up within me, and I 1 hud a wlhl desire to capture all three | of the animals. Uttering a loud cry for my father to I come quick, I dropped my berry pall and rushed forward with hands ex | tended. At the sound of tny voice, ! however, the old rabbit and her flead ily enemy disappeared among the | bushes. The little rabbit beeame nijr 1 prisoner, but 1 soon releesed her. Could any animal have acted more j courageously than the mother rabbit? Embarrassing Moment. Miss V, a channj«#-~jnHing miss of eighteen, living—tfi a neahby city, re lates the following experience, embar rassing, but no doubt not entirely void of pleasure: "Last winter I had the pleasure of attending a box supper at a little schoolhouse In the country, an;! since there would be no fun at a box sup per without a box, a friend and I took a double box. There happened to be a young man there who reminded me very much of a friend of mine, but who was a stranger to me. I had no ticed him several times and was se cretly wishing lie might get my lunch. Nearly all of the boxes were sold be fore ours but at last It was sold. Of course we were anxious to knov* whom our partners were to be and the woman sitting by us pointed them out to us. As It happened this young man that I had noticed was one of them. 'How nice,' I exclaimed. 'I have had that man spotted all eve ning.' " 'Oh, you have,' sho said emphat ically; 'why, that's ihy husband.'" 1 Remarkable Memory of Indian. A native Indian of the Yakima tribe Is said to have the most retentive mem ory In America.

( Athens, Ga., Herald. The wonderful prosperity of I Nortli Carolinia is on every lip. Florida challenges the admiraiiou of the public but not in the same jway that North Carolina doe*. The great boom in the Old North State dates from the time that th« people voted a $50,000,000 bond issue for good roads. Immediate* h after the election the Highway Department set to work to build " 1,000 miles o? improved roadway during the year 192*2: Last* week the Department closed contract* | for t lie construction of 100 railee |of hard hh face roads and 79 miles [of graveled roads which nearly completes the undertaking. North Carolina has closed con* tracts for building 1,000 miles of highways within tiie past twelve mouths and during the past three years >he has contracted for a I total of 2,5j0 mile-. Sometime iago, Mr. James IJ Duke, the w ja'thiest *nau in >he state and leading citizen, said that $25,- 0' J,' 0i coii '.l ue expended to ad* j v.iutage. i'' the mountain region alone.

Nortii Carolina and Georgia are working with the same object in View. When the road program is | completed,"every county seat in the state will be connected by a jigoo J. road. It was a huge under taking in North Carolina, bu the fact that government aid matched the bond issue dollar for dollar made it easy.
