When did North Carolina grant the right to the federal government to purchase forest lands in the State? 2. What is the meaning of “Ease Quan Videri” on the State Seal? 3. When were militia companies of ten, or more men, allowed to or ganize? * 4. How did the North Carolina pro ■ tect early merchants against debtors | leaving the colony without paying ’ their accounts? 5. Who was the first private citizen to have a county named for him? 6. From what source is the name, “nicotine,” in North Carolina tobacco - derived? ANSWERS 1. The legislature of 1901 granted consent to and approved the plan of ■ j the Federal government to establish j a National Forest Reserve in the I Southern Appalachian Mountains. 2. These words are Latin and are taken from Cicero’s essay on Friend i ; ship. They mean “to be rather than 1 be seem.” j 3. For purposes of local defense the legislature of December 1864 provided that any number of persons of not i less than ten, who are over 50 and ' not otherwise liable to military duty may organize themselves into a mili tary company. These companies were for defense purposes within their own counties. The governor was authoriz ed to furnish arms. 4. Masters of vessels in 1715 were , required to give bond not give pas sage to any person who did not have a ticket signed by the governor, de puty governor, or commander in Chief. In order to get a ticket persons were required to show that they did not owe any debts. 5. Under date of April 9, 1777, Ab ner Nash, member of the assembly ' from New Bern, wrote Governor Richard Caswell: ‘Our Assembly have paid a compliment to Dr. Burke, which no private man has experienced before. A new county is called after him.” Dr. Thomas Burke, lived in Orange county, and at that time was a delegate from North Carolina to Continental Congress. 6. Jean Nicot, a Frenchman, while ambassador to Portugal in 1560, ob -1 tained some tobacco seed and intro duced the weed into France. The plant was named “Nicotiana” in his honor, and from this came the word , “Nicotine.” » "FIGHT HOURS OF TOUGH GOING- C> Wk S ° ***' l *'*’• ik. iaMi ~T Mildness lets the taste come through.

AMERICA IN THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today —Seven more French Villages came back into Brit ish hands; as troops advanced on a five-mile front east of Baupaume. The French took 2,000 prisoners at Mon astir. But the head of the Franco- British unified command, Nivelle, still had not grasped the full import of the sudden withdrawal of the German cen ter, which had disrupted Franco- British plans for Spring offensive, and the revolution in Russia. Under Nivelle, as under Joffre, Al lied strategy was comprehended in the general attack of all the armies of the Allies —an attempt, following 1 the example of Grant in the American ! War Between the States, (whose cam -1 paigns had been studied in every war j college in Europe) to exert pressure j ever the whole vast expanse of front ; until, if by no other means, at least by attrition, the enemy should be ex hausted. The Allied strategy in the campaign of 1916 had been comprehended in like manner—a grand concertric attack of British, French, Italian, and Russian armies on eastern and western fronts, together with the Allied forces at Sa lonic.a and the British forces in Meso potamia and Egypt. In 1916 it had been, on the whoie, a general failure, despite l#cal successes. And now, in 1917, they were trying the same thing again, and overlooking the fact that Russia was in collapse. The Allied High Command—like Al lied statesmanship—from the begin ning to the end of the campaign of 1917, was blind to the truth as far as Russia was concerned.

OTHERS VIEWS THE SUPREME COURT CONTROVERSY. To the Editor: A group of my farmer friends have asked me to state in expository fashion (without coloring, as they put it), this controversy between the Pre sident and the United States Supreme Court. This I shall try to do, though it is not going to be especially easy, ias I am confirmed in my belief that the controversy is not warranted, that the President is wrong. However, check me closely and if I get into any argument or show any partisanship, call me down. In the outset, we should get a de finite conception of the nature of our government, for that is necessary to an understanding of the controversy. We have here a Federal, or dual, sys tem of government—something uni que among governments. The people are the sovereigns, or source of pow er, and they operate through this dual, or Federal system. The original states were the first governments that we possessed as a people in our own right. This we inherited from the colonies, which derived their pow er from the English king, or parlia ment, or both, as a result of the Re volution. These original governments were and are possessed of all author ity excepted in so far as the same is limited by the State constitutions and such as has been granted to the na tional government. In short, the State government is one of limitation and the national government one of grant. That is, the State can do all that is not prohibited, while the national gov ernment can do only that which is authorized, specifically or by implica tion. Hence the necessity for finding a power in the Constitution upon which to base legislation. If the power is not contained in the Constitution, the legislation is invalid, and the court should so hold; otherwise, there is a usurpation of power. Another matter that should be of interest to the average man is the at titude that has been manifested to ward the court. For the first 70 years of our history as a republic, the court was subjected to criticism because it upheld the enactments of the Con gress it invalidating only two dur ing this period, as I recall, the case of Marbury v. Madison and the Dred ) Scott decision, one involving the pow er of the court and the other that of slavery. Or, to state it differently, Jefferson, Jackson and their political j associates found fault with the court for upholding enactments of the na tional government, while the com plaint today is just the reverse. It is under fire today because it invalidates acts of the Congress. Since the Civil War the court has invalidated 75 en actments or more than one per year. However, only 11 invalidations have been by a 5 to 4 decision of the court. Furthermore, this bit of informa tion should be of interest: The court has invalidated 10 of the New Deal I enactments, while the President has vetoed some 200 enactments. So the Congress has fared much better at the ihands of the court than at the hands of the Fresident. But it should he re membered that the President can veto an act for any reason he may choose ; to assign, whether on the grounds of nece sity, policy, propriety or judg ment, while the court can invalidate the acts of Congress only upon the absence of power in the Constitution. The necessity, propriety, policy or wis dom underlying enactments are of no concern to the court. With these preliminary matters out of the way, I shall in the next article breakdown the legislative enactment of the New Deal administration into their logical groups and give you the treatment accorded each group, leav ing you to determine whether any- A CHANGE OF HEART? thing substantial may be accomplish ed by an addition to the membership of the court. Before closing, however, it would be well to remember that Mr. Justice Mcßeynolds was put on the court by President Wilson as a trust-bursting radical. Mr. Justice Stone was taken from a law firm which had more cor porate clients than possibly any-other firm in the United States. He is today one of the ultra liberals of the court, while Mr. Justice Mcßeynolds is one, of the ultra conservatives of the court. 5 Mr. Chief Justice Hughes was object ed to because he had had big corpora-' tions as clients. He today is the mid dle-of-the-road thinker of the court. This shows that detached study and thinking results in development on the court just as it does elsewhere ini life. ; JNO. W. HESTER.
