BROOKS HAMMERS
AT SOUTHERN POWER
Greensboro, June 23. A. L. Brooks,
closing the argument for the North
Carolina Public Service company in
its now famous action in equity before
Judge Jas. E. Boyd, in United States
district court, against the -Southern
Power company to . compel that cor
poration to continue supplying the serv
ice company with electric current, de
clared that the big power company
is a wholesale dealer in electric power
and as such cannot and should not
be permitted to discriminate in any
way against the public service; more
that the public service people have a
right to expect the same treatment at
the hands of the Southern Power as it
accords the Southern Public Utlities
company, (a Duke concern), and other
similar service companies and munici
palities in North Carolina.
Mr. Brooks, who has been constant
ly connected with the litigation since
its beginning, fought desperately for
his client, reviewing the case from
its genesis. He commenced speaking
at 3 o'clock and at 5:30 p. m., when
court adjourned for the day declared
that he would finish in about half an
hour after court convenes this morning.
"The Greensboro attorney, knowing
the subject in all of its phases, ham
mered with all his power against the
defendant's line of denfense. The wa
ter powers of North Carolina belong
to the people of the state and that the
defendant company has a profound
obligation to perform, a greater obli
gation than that of "the railroad and
telrl-irm5 rnmnanics In tno staff.
The moraine session of the sixth dav
of the trial was taken up by W. S. K
O. B. Robinson, for the defense, and R.
R. King, for . the plaintiff. E. T.
Cansler, for the power company, will
follow Mr. Brooks this morning; it is
expected that the case will be in Judge
Boyd's hands by 1 o'clock-
REPAINTED TAGS FOR
AUTOS ARE ON SALE
Reprinted automobile license tags for
the city "have been placed on sale at
the office of City Treasurer John M.
Wilson. The sale of tags was held
up for two days to njake a change in

sufficient contrast and the commission
ers ordered the colors changed. The
repainted tags have white letters on
a maroon background.
Mr. WiJson reordered tags numbev
from,l to 666 so that automobile own
ers who have already buoght their tags
may have them replaced. These tags
will not be received for a week. Per
sons who have not , bought their tags
may obtain the repainted tags now.
while those 'having tags with the black
letters may exchange them from new
ones as socn as the shipment arrives.
