Sectionalism in N. C.
Bitter sectionalism in North Caro
lina, which has for years and is still
in evidence on occasions, as between
the cast and west, was in colonial
days between north and south, as
there was no west, Lawrence F. Lon
don shows in an article on "The Rep
resentation controversy in Colonial
North Carolina," published in the
October issue of the N. C. Histrical
Reveiw. Mr. London analyses and de
scribes this feeling between northern
and southern counties, which result
ed in a complete absence of represen
tatives of the Albemarle section in
the General Assembly of 1746 and in
1754. Another item in The Review is
"John Brown's Journal of Travel in
Western North Carolina in 1795,"
edited by Dr. A. R. Newsome. An
other is 'Radical Disfranchisement
in North Carolina, 1867-68," by Dr.
' WT"AT"Russ,'j'rT, Susquehanna Uni
versity, Pennsylvania.
Development of State forests was
one of the main topics stressed at
the annual meeting of the American
Forestry Association held recently
in Knoxville, Tenn., and attended by
State Forester J. S. Holmes. Mr.
Holmes made a speech before the
convention in which he showed the
importance of adequate appropria
tions for investigations relating to the
use of land, especially erosion, dune
and flood control. Investigations al
ready started should be taken up and
carried on by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture because of their close
relation to farm management and
farm production, he said.

Suggestion that a provision be in

ithe platform is as follows:
1. Continuance of thep rinciple

2. An appropriation from the

The sewing room3 will employ a

sheets, pillow cases, bed covering,

HON. G. .A. BARDEN WILL SPEAK
HERE TOMORROW EVENING
A large number of defendants,
witnesses and spectators were pres
ent at the uining of Recorder's
Court Tuesday morning. The unusu
ally large number of spectators was
probably due to two cases from the
Morehead Bluffs red light district
and which were expected to be some
what sensational. It turned out how
ever that nothing very sensational
was developed. When raids were
made some weeks ago it was report
ed that several young men were
caught in the net but it turned out
that only one was taken and he was
brought in as a defendant instead of
a witness. After hearing the evidence
Judge Webb acquitted the young man
as he was merely a visitor to the
house.
The first case tried was that of
Julia Newman, proprietress, Dorothy
Johnson, Selma Grant, Jean Parker
and Libby Cain inmates of the house
known as "'Blue Heaven." It appear
ed from the evidence that the place
was raided not long ago by Solicitor
D. M. Clark, Sheriff Chadwick and
deputies R. E. Chaplain and T. M.
Thomas Jr., They testified as to what
they saw and also as to the reputa
tion of the place. A number of well
known men of Morehead City were
also examined as to the reputation
of the house and all said it was bad.
Attorney C. R. Wheatly represent
ing the defendants on cross examina
tion of witnesses brought out that no
improper conduct of any kind was
discovered by the officers and the
other witnesses knew nothing of the
place except what they had heard
other people say. The court held that
the reputation of the place was suf
ficient under the law to convict Julia
Newman of operating a bawdy house.
The girls were convicted of vagrancy,
the warrant being amended for that
purpose. Counsel for the defendants
noted an appeal, - "4
The other case tried was that o
Helen Finlay, proprietress of Caroli
na Villa and Mrs. E. T. Brockwell,
Dollie Harris, Peggie Allison inmates
thereof. The testimony in this case
was practically the same as in the
other. The judgment of the court
was the same in each case. Julia New
man and Helen Finlay were sentenc
ed to jail for six months and requir
ed to pay the costs. Capias is not to
issue for 15 days, if the women are
in the county after that time they
will be sent to jail. The young women
inmates of the two house were as
sessed the costs and required to be
of good behavior.
Percy Marshall was tried for an

ed that the indictment be dismissed
on the ground of insanity and intro
duced proof that Marshall had been
pronounced insane by a jury and by

he ought to be restrained from crim
inal acts whether insane or not.

sentenced Marshall to jail for 60
days. On his agreement to leave the
