F J. Frank '-Tutai, prosecuting witness iii t.u case of Slate vj. P. C. Campbell, charged with ap pearing drunk on the highway anj street and in Booth's cafe here Christmas eve, December 24, says that the attorneys for the defense of Campbell, innocently or intentionally misled the jus tices by the citation of obsolete law. * Magistrate Campbell was tried January 18 on the charge of be ing drunk or intoxicated on the streets of Danbury and in the Booth cafe on the evening and night of December 24, 1938. The defense demanded a jury which wag duly provided by the sheriff. The defending lawyers, W. G. Petree and A.J. JElling k ton, then asked for a dismissal ff the case on the ground that the Offense as charged in th* warrant to-wit., "appearing intoxicated in public places," etc., was not u crime under the law. The magistrates, S. A. Flin chum and Posey Shelton, as the prosecuting witness alleges, then dismissed the case against Camp bell without allowing the jury tc decide it upon the facts and the evkK.-.o ai usr hearing six wit nesses testify that he was "intoxi cated", that he was "loud and ol f unusual conduct," that thj> "smclled whiskey on his breath", that "he staggered," etc. And af ter several witnesses for the dt>- fense swore that in their opinio.] he was not drunk. The prosecuting witness, whn was taxed with the cost of the action, complains and alleges that the justly applicable law was not dted to the trial judgeg by the defendant's attorneys, and that they Innocently or intentionally misled and confused the judges, who honestly erred. The prosecuting witness con tends that the following two aefp * of N. C. law unquestionably con Tict the defendant, end lu-rtcs the acts as below - CHAP. 49, SEC. 16, LAWS OP * N. C., 1937..

Folger and unanimously adopted, . to-wit: BE IT RESOLVED DY THE . SURRY COUNTY BAR ASSOCI . ATION: First, That the Surry county Bar Awciaiion record its I feeling of apprecation and admira tion for the work done by Solici i tor Ralph J. Scott in the proseeu- I tion of the cases coming on for hearing at this term of court. Ho r has been eminently fair and -it , the same time courteous to all of ' themsmbei* of the Bar; has I faithfully performed the duties of . his office and has done so in an . intelligent and efficient way, more than sixty (60) cases hav ing been disposed of in the four . j and one-half days of the term. , ■ This court was his first experience in the performance of his duties i jas solicitor; and yet he performed I the duties of snid office in a man ner to inspire the confidence, ap , preciation and admiration of not . ( only the members of the Bar bui I of the good citizens of Surry county. , BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , That the members of the Surry County Bar Assieiation extend to . Judge N. A. Sinclair their ap preciation for the splendid way and man!ier in which he presided . over this court. This, of course, t was not a new experience as Judge Sinclair had presided over the courts of this county before and it was to be expected that , the Bcalcs of justice would be evenly balanced i n his good judgment, fine sense of justice and his intelligent understanding of the duties of his office. We know we shall have Solici tor Scott with us from time to time and we trust that Judge Sinclair may be assigned to this oounty at other times to hold i court for us. i j The mernb f the Bar unanl i morsJy join in . -se sincere words j ,of appreciation . ti eru L> P ' which t'« "cu. -.ei,3 o;' t'. «*art ' j has liee. di», 'b Iby th u- -' l nent officials d spleneMd ' 1 men.

USf CLERK'S OFFICE—LITIGA TION IS RESULT OF COL LISION OF NOVEMBER 5 NEAR WALNUT COVE. J. J. Booth of Danbury has in- ' I stitutcd a civil action for dam-! | ages in the amount of $7,000 I |against T. J. Teague of Pino Hal'. I Complaint of the plaintiff has been filed with the clerk of the : Superior Court. The suit is the outcome of an j accident that occurred November 5, 1938, when the cars of Booth and Teague collided at the inter section of the Danbury and Madi son highways at Smith's filling I station half a mile north of Wal- | nut Cove. | Teague, traveling south, met i Pooth truveling north. It is a I dangerous fork. Both cars were practically demolished. Booth j sustained injuries which' necessi- ! tated his lying in for several weeks. Teague was not serious-1 ly hurt. This action will come up for' trial at the April term of Stokes Superior Court. Heath House Burns Near Walnut Cove; The home of Mrs. Dollic Heath, j ; near Walnut Cove, burned Mon day evening, with the entire con tents. There was no insurance. I county on the very fine work of 1 the new Solicitor. With tho docket badly congested, he hiv; disposed of sixty-two or sixty- j three cases during the week, which means a great saving to the county. I usej to be Solicitor and I don't know haw many Solic itors I have worked with, but I don't think I have known any j Solicitor to take off more in thei 3ame length of tine than Mr. ' Scott has. During my experience j I have never seen more efficient i work by any Solicitor than we j had in this court. I have been glaj to work with him, like to know him, appreciate him. After making the start he did, lam sure I will be supported in pre- j dieting that he will make one of the best Solicitors in the State. Solicitors are like every other j class of people, some good, some bad, and some indifferent. I am going to put Mr. Scott in the A-grade class. I congratulate the county on getting its calendar cleaned up, and I woulU not be satisfied with what I am saylrs: if I did not gay that the Solicitor .jid I never could h»ve done It without thfl friendly cooperation of tho I dont think I ever had a .-m of court which was ■.* dc 3.
