THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 8, 1921,
APPEAL MADE TO
SUPREME COURT
Case of Presbyterian As
sembly Grounds WiM be
Heard This Week.
MUTT AND JEFF
JEFF SHOULDN'T HAVE SPRUNG THIS ONE UNTIL SATURDAY.
By BUD FlSHi
Asheville, Dec. 8 The Mountain
Retreat Association, owning the assem
bly grounds of the Southern Presby
terian Church, at Montreat, has taken
appeal to the Supreme Court of
Ncrth Carolina from the decision of ihe
Buncombe county superior court, dis
solving several weeks ago the tempo
rary restraining order against the
Mcunt Mitchell Development Company,
Which is planning u scenic highway
running through the assembly grounds.
By the dissolution of the restraining
order the right of the Mount Mitchell
Development Company to construct its
highway through the assembly grounds
taking in several thousand acres is
admitted.
The Presbyterians claim that they
eelected Montreat av the foot of the
Black Mountains and under the shadow
of Mount Mitchell, highest peak east
of the Rockies, because of the advan
tages of being away from any public
highway or settlement. The construc
tion of the road through the grounds
ri'akes it practically impossible for t.ie
church to establish the privacy sought
and to regulate the observance of
Sunday, it is contended by the Moun
tain Retreat Association.
Following the dissolution of the
restraining order the Mount Mitchell
Development Company began its plan?
for the condemnation of the property
over which the highway is staked off.
The Presbyterians have taken the fight
to the Supreme Court, where a hear
ing is scheduled to ne had during trie
pro&ent week.
Judge Thomas A. Jones and Mark
W. Brown representing the Mountain
Retreat Association and Julius C.
Martin, representing the Mount Mitch
ell Development Company, ' went to
Raleigh yesterday to take up the fight
in the Supreme Court.
Considerable interest has been mani
fested in the matter over the entire
South. Since its establishment the
assembly grounds and its institiions
of training, have attracted thousands
of persons annually to Montreat. The
feeling existing amcrn leading Presby
terians is that the construction the
road will defeat the very purpose of
the assembly grounds, for which the
Southern Presbyterian church has spent
large sums in developing.
The Mount Mitchell Development
Company, on the o.her hand, declares
that there is no other practical ap
proach to Mount Mhchell, and thai
the construction of a scenic higijs.vay
to that peak is a project which war
rants any condemnation proceedings
of any property. .
In the superior court trial here it
was also pointed out by the Presbyte
rians that the road would impair and
damage their watershed, further up on
the slopes of the Black Mountains.

CHARLOTTE WILL
MOVE TO MONROE
j Hosts of Local People Pro
pose Going to Great Mar
shal Foch Friday.
Officers and members of Hornets Nest
Legion post No. 9 have received the of
ficial invitation sent through Major W.
C. Heath, chairman of the- general
committee at Monroe, inviting them to
greet Marshal Foch at his only stop in
North Carolina which will be at Mon
roe from S to 8:45 o'clock Friday night.
The invitation was extended directly
through Major B. H. Hinde, comman
der of Melville Does Legioti post.
E. W. Long, general passenger egent
of the Seaboard Air Line railway here,
has announced the Seaboard will pro
vide special facilities for Charlotte peo
ple who wish to make the trip to Mon
doe to greet Marshal Foch. The regu
lar Seaboard train that leaves here at
5 o'clock for Monroe will be equipped
with enough special cars to accomodate
a big crowd of people. It will reach
Monroe considerably ahead of General
Foch's train, which is to come in over
the Seaboard from South Carolina
points at 8 o'clock. The train of Mar
shal Foch will ' remain at Monroe 45
minutes.
On the return for Charlotte Friday
night passengers will ride on the regu
lar Seaboard train that leavees Monroe
at 10:35 o'clock and reaches Charlotte
about an hour later. Because of the
convenience of the railroad schedule
there is expected to be a large number
of people making the trip from Char
lotte, besides the members of the le
gion post here.
Governor Morrison and his staff
have been put down as a certainty for
the ' occasion and will be on hand to
pay the official greetings of the State to j
the distinguished guest.
It is further definitely announced that
Brigadier General Bowley of Camp
Bragg will 'be there with the color-guard'
of the Fifth and Seventh regiments of
Artillery and with a battery from each
of these regiments. Marshal Foch will
decorate the colors- of these two regi
ments wTith the fourraguerre of the
Croix de Guerre, which is a French des
ignation for distinguished service in ac
tion. The ceremony of decorating the
colors wTill be a very picturesque and
interesting.
Letters have been sent from the Mol-
i ville Does post of the American legion
at Monroe to all parts of the State to
heads of local posts inviting them to
Monroe to greet the former genera'.is
simo of the Allied armies.
For the occasion of the marshal's
visit Monroe is to be properly decorat
ed and be-f lagged. It is likely the vis
itor and his entourrage will probably
be driven to the public square, whore
the Marshal will make a brief addrcs3.
The square is only a little w7ay from the
Seaboard station at Monroe. These de
tails are not definitely announced yt,
but they have been tentatively noed
upon - and announcement as to their
definiteess is expected Thursday.
YADKIN CASE TO
BE HEARD AGAIN
Supreme Court Wants Fur
ther Facts; No Decision
Merits.
CLASS C DIRECTORS
OF RESERVE BANKS
Washington, Dec. 8. Election of
class C directors of the twelve Federal
reserve banks for the term from Jan
uary 1, 1922 to December 31, 1924 was
announced yesterday by the Federal Re
serve Board.
These directors, who are required by
law to be persons not connected with
the banks, include: Richmond Frederic
A. DeLano, re-elected; Atlanta, Lindsey
Hcpkins.
The Federal Reserve Board at the
same time announced the re-appointment
of all chairmen and Federal re
serve agents of the twelve banks for
the year 1922.
Raleigh, Dec. 8. Remanding the Yad
kin county case involving the board of
education's mandamus requiring the
county .commissioners to levy a tax in
excess of 30 cents in order to meet the
requirement for a six months term,
the Supreme court yesterday afternoon
reversed the findings of Judge Lane.
On first blush it would appear that
the commissioners won, but nobody
did. The board of education lost, but

the board of commissioners did not win.
The court does not touch the external
question.
It is well. Should the court have de
cided the issue in favor of the Yadkin
commissioners, 90 counties would now
have a comeback on the ground that an
unlawful rate had been imposed on
them. Such chaos as this never would
have been dreamed. The case goes
back for facts to show- that a levy in
excess of 30 cents is necessary. The
court does ot now see that ecessity. It
must be shown. It sends the Yadkin
case back for additional findigs. If the
excess levy is ecessary, that is another
question for the court and the issue
cannot be met at. this session of the
assembly for there is no case before
the court.
Other opinions filed by the court were:
Elam v. Realty and Ins. Co., Forsyth,
reversed.
Duffy v. Phipps, Guilford, no error.
State v. Overcash, Cabarrus, no

State v. Blackwelder, Cabarrus, r
