Pleading for the some sort of justice la the army that civilians enjoy, Col. 8am T. Aiisell, former acting judge advocate general of the United States ' srmy, of Washington, D. C, atuted his rate to the North Carolina Bar Asso ciation in a logical discourse of an hour, . featured by a masterly arrangement of farts rather than by pusxiounte oratory, though 'the former army officer was at ill timet moat rarnett in his manner. Holding a manuscript in hand but jesreely ever referring to it, he argued wflfi all" the forerfujiretr lawyr before a jury for a revisal of what ft termed an archaic system, founded upon that of the British army of 1773 aad even then antiquated. He vera I times he , wat strongly applauded and it all timet heard wiith closest attention. Thtaked By, Lawyers. Upoa motion of Hon. John D. Bellamy that a rising vote of thanks be tendered end assurance given thst the North Csrolina Bar Association is with hint in hit. fight, the Urge atsemblnge stood en masse at the conclusion of the ad dress. . The lawyers were rather surprised !o And that the former army officer, who . has been much, before the puhlte re icutly, it to young in years. Thirty yttjt ago he left Currituck county to eutir the army, but they have tat lightly npoa hit shoulders. He elilmt North Ck-ruHra at hit own State, he said. If apprehension had existed that he could not deliver in address of great force, who ouztat 1 1 rosy-cheek-, ed, star-eyed and full of the beauteous vteor ot sweet, young maidenhood, require the utmost care from wise and watchful mothers.

Whea President Aydlett called the nieolinl 1 order a--aUflMk.Jl!i moraing. Judge E. B. Jones, of W-ston-Sfllem, asked permission to file protest of wembert of the bar in his city against the practice of trust com pnnict in Ksing unprofetsional meth oda Ifl -secure patronage. Judge Jones considered Tt a vioTaflon 6f professiwial rtliies for a lswyer to hire himself to acompsny f then to start an adver tising campaign for business when he would bo debarred or impended from practice, if he thould do tuch a thing it in Individual. Judge Jonei said he had the kindest feelings tor tne e.om panies, but felt he must uphold the dig nity of his profession. "Are you going to be robbed of this KuainpHf" ho thundered at the bsr- yisters in referring to tho practice of writing wills wltnont cnargo nna min ing the trust eompiny tne executors. The applause it tin conclusion of his talk Indicated that others felt about as be did. Judge Thomas H. Jones, of Aahcville, wanted something done about -i. .tin ttiia.intl phway from lawyers, and both matters were referred to tbe onevanee com mittee. Judge Brown Improved. Members of the Bar Association were greatly pleased to hear that Judgc (InnrM H.

Hon. A. W. McLean, of the War In dustries Boird, former president of the Bir Association, sent his regrets in be ing unable to attend and members of the Wilkes bar ent regrets over being imn lil to attend because of Superior courts' being in session. The attend ance is larger than usunl this year and every tram is bringing in more luw yers. For the first time in two decades, Judge Francis Winston failed to show nn nn tha nnrnlnr dav heeausa af hav ing to attend a celebration in his own county. However, other wheel horses of the associstion, s such as Judge Bynum, of Greensboro; Judge Craw ford Biggs, of Raleigh; Hon. John D. Bellamy, o( Wilmington; Col. Harry Hkinner, of Greenville; Hon. C. W. Til led, of Charlotte; Judge Thos. H. Jones, of Aahcville, were here for the opening. Tha fttata Hunremc Court is retire- sented by Judge Walter Clark, who never misses a session; Judge w. A.

Warren, of New Bern, was on hand. Colonel Aaee'l'i Address. Colonel Antell wis introduced by Secretary Thos W. Davis', and received in ovation from the well-Sited hall. "I take peculiar pride in coming here," Colunel Ansell confessed- ''North TIRES Most Miles MILLS TIRE CO.

But at a candid fact that there are ao people ia the world mere devoted to justice, both ia the army aad out) of it, tbaa tha people ef thit Stale.. , , : Colonel Ansell hid in short oftler reached his theino aad aot Stain did he leave it. The idea teems to' prevail that there it one kind of justice ia tha army and another for those out of K, be taid. Indeed, it seems to be the Idea tint there is one kind of justice for the officer and aaother for tha ea listed man. Justice it aa individual fhing, and cia never be coneldered lightly. He would change each idem ind such thinking. He would have every man tried according to the tame stand ard. Aa Aatlaaated System.. Only in one way could Colonel Amell understand how tuch an antiquated system had turvived lack of interest in the army because we are aot a mili tary people. The Confederate r.rmy had a more liberal system of discipline than the Union army and with fewer professional soldiers ia it proved tbe equal of any aad ia the opinion of many foreign observers, the superior of anjr in. the world at that time. MI take the position that thesotdieH does not get justice in the United States as ordinarily administered ia our courts. He doean't get natural justice and he gets a very low grade of con ventional justice," the inciter declared. Out of the 28,000 general courts-martial in the yeir preceding the armit tice, Colonel Ansell wat lure that 26,000 of them were for trivnl offenses thst ought never to have been .brought be fore a court-martial, .aad yet tbe aver age sentence for each man wat seven yvars, and 65 per cent, of that number received dishonorable dischargee from the army, which ia a permanent dis grace to a man. He charged that the army la apply ing to a modern Americaa army a system intended for a mercenary army, hired to do tho bidding of a king. He charged farther that our articles of war ire ilmost identically the tame at those of the British army of 1.T75. Thi whole system wn lateaded for slaves an'' serfs, but never for free men, ht maintained. If the constitution hsd intended for the President of tbe United States, who wit nimfd it eommtndcr ia chief ef the army, to have had absolute authority over the army, it would aever have re served to Congress the right to past rulrt tad regulationt governing It, ke argued.
