The fl.ii ivc was a magmheent one, in whifli -Judge Bryson paid splendid tribute t?> the people of the state, and of .lii. ks.rn county, to whom he dcclari .1 lie supjjosed lie was relat ,,l to t>" for cent. Beginning with tl;e assertion that the law is of divine on- in. and. stressing the point that the law is the friend, not the foe of man, Judge Bry-oii >i sited that the law is divid-j til' into three divisions, for the pro- 1 Uttion ot three rights which the state lias guaranteed to the people, the ri.l.t ol person si| safety, the ri^n of security of property and tiie rid it of personal liberty, and for the protection of society. When any person or persons invades to the least extent any of the rights ot the men, women or children of the state, lie is guilty of a crime, and the coorts must take cognizance of it, the law being *o zealous in the pro tection ot the sacrcdr.css ot the per son. that it protects the body ot an individual, even against hiinselt. The .bulge exploded the theory that a man can do as he pleases with his body so long as he diesn t interteie with somebody else, by stating that the body of a human being has been set apart as t lie temple of the Deity, and so designated, ? that no man liveth unto himself alone, and that by indulging in excesses, he is apt to lead somebody else astray, and that a-, a matter of fact no man can do an net that affects himself alone. Hence said -Ttidge Bryson, the law lias a riuht, to protect a man's bod1 from hiniself. The .ludge declared that the statutes now on the books in North Carolina prohibiting the manufac ture, sale, transportation,, barter, furnishing. procuring or buying in toxicatH.g .liquors, were enacted, to tarry out the mandate of the people ?t' the Mate, who almost unanimous ly voted lor prohibition. The elmrge was a lengthy and a niasriiiih-iut one; and it is a pity that everybody in Jackson could not have lie.ii,' it. Court did not convene until Tues day morning, because of tha sick ifss oi .lieluo Bryson, who was un aWe to a ll end on Monday. NANTAKALA TOWNSHIP I VOTES FOR ROAD BONDS ? ? Aiulivw^ 'Oct, 11. ?

GROUP TEACHERS' MEET ING AT CULLOWHEE A group-center teachers' meeting was held at the Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School, Friday and Saturday October 5th and 6th, un-! der the direction of Miss Nettie Brogdon, County Supervisor. This is one of a scries of five group meet ings planned for the promotion of the teaching efficiency of the entire ( force in the rural schools of the county and the building up of an adequate system of public schools, j By means of centralization of ef fort on the part of the supervisor in group-center meetings the place of meeting becomes a demonstration school and the community a demonstration community.'

Official an nouncement that George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britr ain, and Richard Washburn Child, American ambassador to Italy, have had their resignations accepted by President Coolidge, has let loose a flood of political speculations. Here arc some of the possibilities that may grow out of it. Henry Cabot Lodge, senior senator from Massachusetts, and the leader ,ftf the republican party in the sen ate, might round out his career at the court of St. James by resigning from the senate. He is 73 years old and the burdens of leadership in the coming session of congress are bound to be a strain. Mr. Lodge would find an opportunity to continue his literary work which has been in temi}>! 5 '."nit years. His ap poinlmii-.t ? >.'d mean a coontin uancc of the tradition that literary A I ^ men are sent by America to Great Britain and vice versa, a tradition that embraces men like James Rus sell Lowell, James Bryce, Whitelaw Rei4 and Walter Ilinea Page. - " ?

CLEAR CRIMINAL DOCKET The criminal docket ! in the Jaekosn county superior court was cleared in less than a day after it was taken up, court convening 011 Tuesday morning, the judge con suming the period before dinner in his charge to the grand jury, and the docket was clear before court ad journed for dinner on Wednesday. Judge Bryson, in commenting on this fact, stated that he has been at tending the courts of Jackson county since 1895, and that the fact that there were so few cases on the dock et, is due to the recorder's court, and the efficient manner in which it is handled in this county, saving, lie de clared, thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of Jackson county, and meeting the e*ids of justice more nearly by giving the defendants a speedy trial. Tom King, who appealed from a . sentence of 12 months on the roads, imposed by the recorder, on a charge of stilling., was sentenced to 16 months, by Judge Bryson, who in sentencing King, stated that he has never yet accepted a line where a plija of guilty or a conviction has been made for either manufacturing or selling liquor, but that lie has sometimes, when a fellow is convict ed of taking a drink, which he con strues, under, the 1 923 statute to mean a posession of liquor, imposed fines, and not road sentences.
