Besolvsd further, that a committee be appointed from this body to push forward the object of these reso Qtions." In view of the fact that Dr. Hines had opposed the establishment of army post at Baleigh, President Pogue wrote to the mayor of Atlanta in gard to the matter. A letter from Mayor Porter King, of Atlan'a, to President Pogoe-in regard to the effeot of the establishment of n army poet in this oity wss read. ofr.

In the Mayor's office yesterday evening all the white voting popula tion of Little River township assem bled. Raleigh was well represented in addition to the court "bummers." A soandal case was np for trial and standing room was going at a pre mium. Justice Roberts sat in the Mayor's ohair. Col. Argo, Loge Harris and Wm. Snow represented P. M.

Ruling of the Supreme Court In Re gard to the Shooting of Crape. A recent ruling of the Supreme Court is of special interest in that it declares virtually that boys under fourteen years of age may gamble to their hearts content. Boys of that tender age rarely have enough to lose to make any serious impression on pater's pocketbook, bat yoa may smoke it in your pipe that a boy shooter of oraps will be a man player of poker. But the Supreme Court says "let the boys gamble." A lawyer, in talking or this mattdr this morning, said that at first blush the ruling would appear ridiculous, but that it was based on principles of the soundest oommoa sense. ' " The law supposes," he said, "that up to the age of fourteen years the parent has the entire right to man age the child, without the interfer ence ot law. Suppose, for instance, every school boy who got into a fight . was arrested, what a nursery of crim inals the Mayor's oourt would be!" Bat when this notice circulates around, the dear pablio bad better . be prepared for the Inspiring sight ot -two blaok-faoed, ivory-toothed pick-a-ninnlesytwo oenht before them, sit ting on the oourt noose steps and shooting oraps to beat the band.
