They provided %or enforce-j j ment of thC constitution of 1917. A Mexico City dispatch gives the foi lowing: ^ President ('sites and his govern ment have at their command the mil itary, administrative and judicial power of Mexico and the support of the confederation of iabor. Ti e church has called into use what has been described as a "prrtiat in terdict," a dread measure to the faithful, and is supported by the na tional league for defense of religious liberty. ^ The government's stand is that the church and the state must be kept separated and that the church must stay cut of politics; the church's stand is that it is being persecuted by a hostile government which is threatening religious freedom, and that it has not meddled in politics. So far-reaching are the issues in controversy that Pope Pius has ap pealed to the faithful throughout the world to raise their voice in prayer for their Mexican co-religionists and will offer his own prayers for jns Mexican flock. Tie government regulations in brief are as follows: No foreign ministers of any relig ion may function in Mexico. Church ownership of property is forbidden and all such property re verts to the state. Religious instruction in schools is forbidden. Religious orders such as eonvents and monasteries are forbidden. Priests and ministers are forbidden to^ participate in politics, or to hold political meetings. To criticise the government or crit icize and oppose the constitution, laws or acts of the government, or to incite others to do so. Outdoor religious ceremonials and the wearing by priests of their relig ious robes outside of their churches or residences are forbidden. Periodicals of religious nature are forbidden to comment upo% the gov ernment's acts or to print news con-' cerning the actions of the govern ment. Punishments may range from a fine of 500 pesos, or fifteen days im prisonment, or both, up to six years imprisonment, or additional punish ment," as the court may care to im pose. Trial by jury' is not provided for. Judge Sinclair, One of State's Abttst Jurists. We in Charlotte and Mecklenburg have in our midst this week a visiting judge of the Superior couyt who is me of the outstanding high-ranking jurists in North Carolina. He is a "visiting" judge in the sense that he has come outside of his circuit and not merely out of his turn from the judicial district in which he is sche duled to hoid courts this month. The people generally perhaps are not cognizant of the fact that North Card iina is divided into only two Superior court circuits, the eastern and west ern, and that the judges who reside in one do not serve in the other ex cept in rare cases, as in the case of Judge N. A. Sinclair, when a judge is transferred from one circuit to the other temporary. This was not *! ways true. Up to recent years a Su perior eourt judge had to trave! ai! ! over the State and in the course of his term of office was supposed to } hoid court in every county in the Com monwealth. It was regarded as a hardship on a judge iiving in the far cast to have to do aii his work even for years continuously in the western hatf of the State, and vice versa. The law was changed a few years ago, and the State was cut into two Su perior court circuits. Judge Sinclair comes from Fayette ville, where he has spent moat of hia life, though he is a native of Robeson county. Years ago he served hia dis trict as solicitor for many years, hav ing been repeatedly honored by re nomination and re-election. He was regarded as one of the ablest, moat vigorous and most brilliant aolicitora in the State during that period. He was iong recognized aa one of the leading lawyers^ in the Unper Cape Fear section in point of abiiity. Since he has been on the bench he has rap idly risen into the very firat rank among the judges of North Carolina. He has presided over the triai of sev eral of the most notabie criminai cases in the iate history of the State.—Char lotte Observer. Seaboard Secl& to Withdraw Two More Trains.

FORD PRODUCTION PASSES 14 MILLIONTH MARK Another million mark in Ford pro duction was passed on July 21 when motor No. 14,000,000 came off the as sembly line at the Fordson plant of the Ford Motor Company. Some idea of the present enormous production of Ford cars is obtained when it is recalled that it was only a little more than two years ago, June 4th, 1924, that the famous ten mil lionth Ford was produced, an event which was celebrated by driving the car across, the country from New York to San Francisco on the Lincoln high way. In the twenty-five and a half months elapsing since th*A time Ford output increased 4,000,000. The first Model T Ford was turned out on October 1, 1908, and it was notj until seven years later, December 10,! 1915, that the first miHon was reach ed.
