In the Recorder's court this morning, after the disposition of the case before the colirt, Mayor Tate in very timely and strong words denned his position with regard to upholding the law with in the limits of his Jurisdiction. He said that he hoped cases of the kind now before the court would be dealt with severely and the culprits given the full penalty al lowed by law hereafter. He did not wish to sway the mind of the Recorder either way in the case before him,, but hoped, perhaps, that leniency might be shown this defendant as it was the first case of the kind which the new Recorder's court had to deal with, but hereafter the majesty of the law would be upheld and the per sons of retiring officers of the law would be protected as far as it was his duty as chief magistrate of the city allowed him to interfere- It was his desire that those who were superceeded at the clec tion in June should feel perfectly safe as private citizens and know that they would be fully protected from threats which he was aware had been made against them. His plea for all these' grudges to be buried and forgotten aiul all work together in peace and harmony for the upbuilding of our beauti ful city was very opportune and well received. BEFORE THE RECORDER. Fruit Case Continued. Recorder Johns continued the tase against this defendant until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, When the case was disposed of Magistrate Brown asked permis sion to make a statement. He claimed that as the defendant had been tried and sentenced by him. a magistrate duly authorized by the constitution of the itate and that 'oh that account and for that reason the case should be dismiss ed. The Recorder replied that his understanding of the sectioti of the new charter which applied to should cither remand them or should eiiniter remand them or bind them over to the Recorder's court and that he should continue the case until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and he would re quire the defendant to render his bond for his appearance at that time. A POINT AT ISSUE. The case of Clarence Fruit came up in another light and points growing out of it have brought up another question. Fruit appeared before Magis trate Brown again this time with a witness and he was allowed to submit. He was fined $5.00 and the costs, paid it and. took a re ceipt for the same. Capt. Johns acting Recorder, refused to recognize this disposi tion of the case and had Fruit re arrested and put under bond. The case was called this morning but was postponed until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. The only point at issue at all is .whether or not our new charter took away certain duties of mag istrates inside the incorporate lim its and in the district prescribed. The 'charter gives the Recorder "final, exclusive, original juris diction" in all cases in the dis trict prescribed by the new char ter. It all depends what this means and how much it can mean under the constitution. If there is very much doubt about it of course it is a case for the higher courts to decide. Sec. 12 art. 14 of the constitu tion, says : The General Assembly shall have no power to deprive the ju dicial department of arty power or jurisdiction which rightfully per tains' to it as a' co-ordinate de partment of the government, but the General Assembly 'shall allot and distribute that portion of this power and jurisdiction which does not pertain to the Supreme Court, among the other courts prescrib ed in this constitution, or which may be established -by law, In such manner as may seem best. in the . Constitution that might bear on the se but this is the main one. ; I What does "distribute" and al lot mean ? f Can a magistrate in.

B Rector, secretary of the North Carolina Hotel Men's Association we learned that the Associations of North Carolina and Virginia would meet at Ashevile, June 8 to 12. This promises to be the best meeting in the history of the As sociation as many visitors from Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina are expected. Gov. Kitchin will deliver an ad dress. Hotel men in the State who arc not already members should also attend this meeting. The As sociation is proving great benefit to the hotel men. DEPLORABLE AFFAIR CHILD DIES From After Effects of Wound In flicted by Rock Thrown by Boy I here is quite a deplorable case in town. The facts as gathered by the Enterprise this morning arc that last Tuesday a boy by the name of Scott, aged about eight years, threw a rock and struck another boy, six years old, on the chin. Blood poison set in on Wednes day and on yesterday the child died. The remains were taken to the country today for burial. The child who died was the son of C L. Cesil, and the fathep of the other boy who threw the rock is Bud Scott. The case is a very sad one. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Rev. J. L. Morgan is spending a few days in Salisbury. Mr. Gilbert is in the city en route to Asheboro. Mrs. Win. Tucker is visiting in Raleigh for a few days.

The painters seem to have pos session of Main street this spring and they are doing a good work. A little paint brings about great improvements.

Testimony was along the same lines as yesterday. Tie told of meeting the woman in Cleveland and identified Mrs. Boyle as the woman. NARROW ESCAPE. People Who Saw It Looked Away Fearing the Worst. This morning a man from the country was driving up the street with a horse and wagon. When he got in front of , the graded school one of the boys was crossing the street, but looking back, talking to another boy. He did not notice the horse nor did the man driving see him. The boy ran right between the horse's fore legs and was knocked down. Mir aculous as it may seem the horse and the vehicle passed over him but he came out none the worse except that he was covered with duM. Those who saw it say that t scared the man w rose than it did the boy. COMPANY M GOES TO CHARLOTTE MAY 20 Capt.

D. 1 May 4, 1909 .My 1 'ear Lnterpnse : As I was an occasional visitor at your sanctum, I feci very much interested in you and your wel fare and like to keep up with you. By the way, we have missed your daily visits, which are due us, till February 22, 1910, and we hope they will be resumed. We reached Washington at about 11 o'clock, Wednesday, of last week, and went out to the Zoo Park, where we had a very pleasant and profitable time till about 3 o'clock. We then took the train ( part of the way steam, part electric) to Annapolis, and were met by about six members of my old congregation, who greeted us most cordially. We then drove out to the Rectory and there a party of ladies had pre pared a hot supper for us and had fixed enough furniture in the house to use, till our own furni ture reaches here. Our reception could hardly have been more cor dial, if we had been members of the families represented. Our drive out from town is on ly four miles, over a shell road crsosing two creeks about 1-8 mile wide each, and about 9 feet deep, and the bridge over Seven River is 7-8 of a mile long. From this bridge we have a view of the Navy Yard and the warshins lv- ing in the harbor, and also any hoats going ill) or down Chesa peake Bay. 'The country is be ginning to look beautiful .is th..

Ilifrh P,,it- . C.," so you sec we cannot entirely get uvay from Hich Point. A TA in sitting there contemplating the name, various thoughts passed through my mind, and I wonder ed just what kind of Sunday you were having, and ho.v I would like to have taken a little look at you all at that time. The outlook for church life here seems good, for the Methodists, as well as ourselves, have just se cured a new minister. I have been told that much of the peach crop has been killed by the freeze that came when the trees were in bloom. But I be lieve that the berry prospect is verv good. We have a good telephone ser vice at $1.50 a month with 25 per cent, discount to all ministers, that is $ r . 1 3 a month.
