The much publicised game is over.
Beaufort won 8 to 2 with Harkers
Island on the losing end. This game
had been brewing for some time and
on a local open date of last Sunday
it was run off. Addd publicity and
impetus was given it by a Beaufort
News correspondent from the Island
and true to his prediction in last
week's issue of this paper, Manager
Earl Davis and J. D. Brooks of Hark
ers Island and Beuafort, respectively,
shook hands, a gesture of good-will.
A great crowd turned out, probably
over half of which came from Hark

in the application, it wa3 that evi
dence that he had not repented
which caused his disbarment in this
State.
But the opinion is pregnant with
possibilities and may mean much,
coming as it did while the court was
adjourned, coming down alone, and
coming on the eve of the examina
tion to be given by the State Bar,
August 20-21, and of the hearing to
be held by the State Board's commit
tee in Harnett county, August 9, to
require two lawyers to show cause
why they should not be discharged. It
is looked upon as a sort of Sword of
Damocles held over the State Bar to
make it be good.
The State Bar was given authority
by the Statute, 1933 General Assem
bly, to license, punish and disbar at
torneys, and has taken'over that func tion.
It has held one examination and
licensed a group, and has about nine
lawyers scheduled to show cause why
they should be not disbarred from
practice. One disbarred lawyer, Jas.
Raynoi', Benson, has appealed to the
courts from the order which disbars
him from practice. It will be heard
in Superior, then Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is thus not va
cating its "inherent power" even
with the statute giving the power io
the State Bar. Then, if the Supreme
Court can still disbar, it is reason
able to suppose that it still maintains
the riight and power to license at
torneys. In case an applicant should
be turned down by the State Bar, ap
peal to the Supreme Court, contend
ing he met the requirements but was
denied license, then it is not at all
jit he met all requirements, then issue
such case is likely to come
time now.
