Then there Is. under stood to be considerable new evidence very damaging in " its nature. The case for the state Is being conducted by Solicitor Arm! stead Jones, Col. T, "M.

N -folding, Walter Watson, S. 0. Ryman and T. B. Hicks for the defense. 'An amusing thing in connection with the bearing Is that the prisoners in crossing the "bridge of sighs" from the Jail to the courtroom have their heads flooded, in newspapers to pro- vent any attempts they fear might be made to catch snap-shots of them. They and their counsel are equally alert during the sittings of court lest some photographer or amateur should snap them""unaware. .The " reason for this is that thus far all attempts to eet oictures of Dr. Rowland for newspapers have been in vain.

Raleigh, July 19. The argument by counsel in the famous case ot the I State va-Southern Railway Co., and Agent T.;. Green for the application of the criminal penalty for violation of the act of the. 1907 legislature pre scribing 24 cents as the maximum passenger rate began In the Wake sur perior court this morning at 9:30 and continued four hours, and there were three speakers to a aide. 1 The 'defense wa awarded the open ing and closing speeches since no evi dence for the defense was presented. I F. H. Busbee opened for the defense, of war on state's rights and innova He congratulated Agent Green that he Hons and conflicting processes.. Forty was now before a jury of his country-: years ago he fought on battle' fields for men who would- pass oa his guilt or I Innocence. He took the ground that I the sole issue before the court i the sale of a ticket to one W. F, Jones t more than the rate established by law. He read and commented on the I rate act, holding that if section four is I void, the whole indictment falls. He I reviewed the whole aspect f the case both In the state And the United States court He declared it to be unfair for the legislature to attempt to take away 1 property and then prescribe a penalty for ' legal resistance. This would " be confiscatory and therefore violation of the constitution. Numerous ' authori ties were cited. Mr. Busbee argued that the original injunction regulations were binding o Agent Green before the state court case was instituted and. bad he vio lated it he would have been arrested. And now he Is under arrest and threatened with the roads for obeying an order of the United States court. He referred to : reconstruction days and the reign of Kirk and the course persued in that time that tried men's Souls. . . , '.V-tv-.-'V: ''-.'-' Mr, Busbee took the ground that the evidence waa that Mr. Green did not sell the ticket in question after all. That he was out of the city on that af ternoon as testified to by Clerk Jones. He argued also that the sale was not actually for more than 2)4 cents since the distance was really eight and a half miles and the price paid 26 cents. This whole stir and commotion is really over an amount less than two cents. Mr. Busbee spoke 39 minutes. E. J. JUSTICE FOR THE STATE. Speaker of the House of Represen tatives B. J. Justice was first to speak for the prosecution. He held that it was not encumbent on him to answer in any way the Argument ot Mr. Bus- bee as to th constitutionajlty of the rate act That was a matter that Judge Long had ruled on already, a question of law for the Judge and not for the jury at all. Busbee took issue with him, establishing his contention that Judge Long had not passed on this and that it was competent for argument He reviewed the resistance of the defense to the present trial and ridiculed the congratulations ot Bus bee to Agent Green that he was be fore a Jury, lie was there mighty un- willingly. He regretted that the South - era Railway did not manifest as much respect and regard for the eleventh or confiscatory of its property. It law for the fourteenth amendment to the was sustained in court ot highest au cohatrtutlon, but was striving in every thority then the Southern would freely way possible to tear this case away from the state to th federal court He course in instltutlivs the proceeding argued that the Southern, in order to in this court He expressed the high carry its point and avoid obedience to est regard for the federal courts and th state law was consigning Its agent to a felon's cell, he commented on the splendtd family and high charcater of Agent Green and charged that It was the Southern railroad that bad con- signed him to prison In not allowing htm to give bond or even go on his personal recognizance. As to any at- had Seen fit to go into the federal tempt to divert this case to the federal court before putting rate In eperatlon courts he declared that he and asso- and seeking relief needed In the state elate counsel were ready to meet any court' Other roada were observing move that the defense might make the rate.

D. of th United States deaprtment of ' commerce ' and labor is in the city gathering statis tics as to child labor conditions in this state. He says steady Improvement is shown In all parts ot the state with evident effort on the part of manufac turers to maintain proper attitude. The statement is made from the of fice of Adjutant General T. R. Robert- son here that new supplies are coming into the quartermaster general's de partment right along now and the va rious companies in the state will re ceive their new equipment V just as rapidly as they can be made up and packed. Further than that every com pany will recleve new supplies In am ple time for the encampment at James town. The shipments will be In regi mental order so that Charlotte will be among the first to be supplied. Ex-Judge Avery for defense declar- ed he came not before the Jnfv to talk state's rights and sniff battlenow afar off. The course being pursued by the defense is in no way an invasion of state's rights as compared with the rights of citizens, individual" or corp- orate. Ex-Gov. Aycock for the prose cution took the ground that the state was standing squarely on Its rights. Railroad business is quasi public and the nation must fix interstate rates and state regulate rates within bounds of the state. This North Carolina has done. Said state's' rights are not ex tinct 'hut came out of the-cMl" war very much intact' ' -' We have a remarkable spectacle when poor roads are obeying and rich roads are defying the rate law of the state. Counsel Thorn of the Southern made . concluding argument for de fense. Reviewed the whole course of tbe-Southern In llltlgatlon to pre vent enforcement of the state rate act, arguing that no other course was open to them in exercise of proper regard tor the interests of those- who had money Invested in the road, and the Interests of people wUo must have fa cilities for travel and "transportation and freight . The whole matter Is be ing adjudicated in another court of competent jurisdiction. Judge Long proceeded at dhce with the charge to the jury, this requiring about halt an hour. The jury was out a half hour, and at 4:46 o'clock re turned a verdict of guilty tor both de fendants. Judge Long , gave Agent Green choice of paying nominal, fine and pledging himself not to repeat the offense of which he was convicted or to take the bitter consequences. He was given 40 minutes to decide, court taking recess meantime. On reassemb ling further time of ten minutes was I allowed at the request ot Green. Then they came In court and Jas. H. Pou for Green, stated that while Green felt that he was guilty of no moral wrong Btlll he had an aged and very ill mother who could not 'understand the situation and issues being fought out and fearing that further prosecu tion of the company would - shorten and bitter her life, he would submit to fine, which the judge fixed at $5. F. H. Busbee tor the Southern said his practice was to act always In accord with the law and that in this very mat ter he had gone into court with corn- 1 potent jurisdiction to be saved" from I any act that It was believed would be observe it Judge Long reviewed his regretted that much had been said in this connection about "conflict" be- tween his court and a branch ot the federal court - Jurisdiction violations ot rate act had been clearly shown in the state court, hence Insistence to re tain.

Preparations have been made by the city and the state of Georgia for the entertainment next fall of perhaps the largest gath ering of cotton growers, spinners and men interested directly or lndtcertly in cotton the world has ever seen.

There will be besides repre sentatives ot all the cotton exchanges.

A special train of the Southern rail way will bring the delegates from New York to the south. The conven tion; will be held here October 7, 8, and 9. After the convention is con eluded the delegates will be taken through the cotton belt on a special train, and they will be shown cotton In every stage from the field and gin to the mills. The convention la. -part of a general. tendency to bring all cotton interests together , for mutual , understanding. At the Vienna conference the foreign spinners were Invited to come to At lanta. The Atlanta gathering will be greater and more varied In the Inter ests It represents even than the Eu ropean conference. Problems of baling, transporatlon and marketing of cotton will be dis cussed at the convention from every viewpoint The visit to the south will be a revelation to the European spin ners, many of whom have never seen the south, the production of its great staple, and the operation of its cotton mills. Apropos of cotton production, Presi dent Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Growers' - Association an nounced today that on his tour of the cotton belt, twhlch will begin next week, be will urge reforms in tne methods of baling, handling and mar keting cotton, so as to place it on a parity with foreign cotton. v He has photographs showing the immaculate condition in which Egypt ian and other foreign cotton reaches the spinner. The foreign grower use canvas Instead of jute bagging. . "I favor the use of cotton bagging on the part of southern farmers," said Mr. Jordan, discussing this phase ot cotton. "Cotton bagging not only holds the marks better, being more closely woven than the jute, but it opens 'a new demand for cotton." . v Mr. Jordan says that he expect that cotton next fall will bring the highest price In 20 years, and he will urge the farmers In his speeches Jo keep, to as slow a movement ot th crop as pos sible to maintain good prices. He wil also comment on what he saw in Eu rope where he not only attended the I Riving modest and pleasing entertaln splnners conference at Vienna, but al-nient for all, young and old.

THE NEW RITE Will Cheerfally Comply With the Law When it Has Been Ratified bythe United States Supreme Court Right to Sue In th Fed v eral v Court Bound to Protect It Property. President W, W. Findley, ot the Southern road has Issued a circular manifesto relating to the lpcidents of the past week with which the public are familiar. The circular is pub lished of course In justification of the corporation's .acts in refusing to com ply with the rate law. ' 5 - The circular Btates in the first place that the rate is so. low as to make confiscation absolute. The Supreme court has decided in cases ot . this kind that ti Is competent tor the rati eraf court, such a body as the North Carolina . Corporation Commission and have a comprehensive enquire made Into the situation, and deter mine In an orderly way whether or not such an act as the one now in question Is violative of the constitu tion of the United Btates as a depri vation ot the property , ot the com pany without compensation, and as denying to the railroad company equal protection pf the laws, The Southern Railway Co., it says, further, is bound to protect its prop erty, not only In the Interest ot Its owners and creditors, but also in the interest of the whole public. It ha a right and a duty to appeal to the law for it protection. It is not In tniTflght oMnterest-of-the people of North Carolina that the ability of the transportation companies to perform the public service and to nelarge and Increase the means-of serving passen gers and shippers shall' be destroyed and diminished. It has a contradic tion In terms to say of any person or corporation that filing a suit in court, and asking for an orderly and judicial determination of - the very right ot any matter, it Itself a viola tion or defiance of law. If an appeal to a court of Justice is a violation ot law, then all our courts should come to aa, end, ' '; Large CrewMrehead.; The Atlantic Hotel at : Morehead was taxed to, it capacity Saturday night, and Sunday.
