March Term Superior Court
Began Monday, March 20th
The spring term of Superior court
opened Monday with his nonor Judge
I. Lloyd Hoiton presiding. Judge
Horton ha* the distinction of being
the youngest Superior Court judge in
the State. Naturally the public eye
.has bum a little mote keenly direct
ed toward him thun would have boen
toward an older man but the impres
sion is growing that a young judge
can hold the scael* of justice aa steady |
as an old judge.
The charge of Judge Horton touch
ed more perhaps on the purpose ot
life than on its crimes. defined
happiness as being tike true purpoau
of Life and pointed out tha tthe onyi
"" need of law ia protecetion of person,
property and morals. Among the
crime* which are punishable by death
are muider, rape, arson and burglary.
The principal crimes against the per
son which are punishable by tine oi
imprisonment are slander, assault, se
duction, kidnapping etc. One of the
crimes against property rights is lar
ceny, which is the taking and carry
ing away the property of others ae
cretly and without authority.
Gambling was touched on at some
length, the charge and some spedai
classes were defined, gambling in cot
ton futures, stocks, crap; poke ana
other kinds of chance. It was hits
conclusion that cotton and stock gam
bling had made more hungry and
' homeless women and children than
crap and poker though that class ol
gambling oan be done by elders anu
deacons, yet it as much against the
law.a* it is for negroes to get ou.
at some sheltereed spot in the woods
and play fo ia few nicklces.
r* The conaeuled weapon was given
due consideration the numerous time:
which it causeed trouble, the lew
limes it does any good and yet hov.
great numbers carry them. Perjury
waa characterised as one of the most
corruptible crimes, yet a very com
mon one often committed when ther
is very little at stake. The violation
of the prohibition law waa also
brought up. .
The court stressed the point that
«1 Haws were equal and that if wc
are to preserve and protect ourselves,
our propeerty and our morals we inußt
enforce all laws alike. One of tlu
most striking features of the entire
charge was that ip the twenty-neve,
counties in which Judge Horton hu
held court seventy-Av eper cen tot
toe criminals brought before him hav.
been young people# generally eeigh
toen to twenty-five years of age and,
as he says, there is a reason for it
The principal cause is the lack o
proper home training, too much free
dom is given children. They 11
restrained and the idea la oi right n
wrong aree not emphasized as the;
should be and it is ground for m
ious alarm.
The following cases were disposed of:
State vs. Roy Strawbridge. There
were several charges against this de
fendant among which were two
charges of assault with deadly wea
pon The motion, for judgment ab
solute made at the December ten*)

Referring to bad government under

"But we feee lthat there is a dcepc

RAILROADS LOSE OUT
IN THEIR TAX FIGHT
(By Maxw«U Gorman)
Kaleigh, March 21.—Th* Stat* ad
ministration i efoeling mighty good
just now over the victory of the state
in the rase brought by the railroads
Hgoinst the state and revenue com
missioner Watts which sought to ee
vade large sums in taxes.
The inteiclocutory injunctions which
the roads sought in the fedarl courts
against the collection of state taxes
were denied in a unanimous opinion
handed down by Judge fid Waddill of
of the Cirouit Court of Judge
Connor of the Eastern NoASt Carolina
district and Judge Boyd of the west
era North Carolina district.
By denial of the injunctions if the
opinion is affirmed toy the Supreme
Court of the United States, to which
an appeal will be taken direct, the
taxing unite of the state will coUcu
annually practically one million dol
lars in ad valorem and franchise taxes
that would na thve been paid had ths
decision gone the othor way. In ad
dition, there is involved taxation up
on the incomes at the .-ate of three
per cent upuon the taxable net in
come, which involves a large amount
of money, the exact amount of which
is not known. All of these taxus
have been Axed for a per to dof three
years, making the aggregate amount
involvede well up into the millions.
The opinion ends the agreemenet ei
tered into between the state and the
railroads alst October under the terms
of which the railroads paid the tuxes
not in dispute while the state made
no egort to collect the ermainder.
In the individual orders signed in
each case, a period of thirty days was
granted the railroads before the opin
ion will become operative. This ex
tension was granted in order V> por
■ mit the railroads to avail themselves
of all the reemdies afforded by law.
Unde rthe Judicial oode an appeal may
be taken directly to the Supreme
Court of the United States, with a
request for a stay of proceedings,
pending decision by the Supreme court
The code also provides that the oase
shall be axvedited for hearing b? the
j highest court.
v In the event the opinion of the
three judges should be overruled and
the interlocutory injunctions granted,
the cases will then be returned for
hearing on their merits. But if the
Supreme 9Curt affirms the opinion of
the three Judges, the oases will then
be ended efor practical proposals
the suits will be dismissed.
(Able Counsel for State
> Credit fo rthe victory is being glv
kne largely to the gNat lawyers se
lected by Governor oMrrison to as
sist the Attorney-General in this case,
thsse eincludlng from Supreme Court
Justice Grays H. Brown; Hon. Thomas
D Warren; Bon. W P Bynum and At
torney-Geenral Manning. Of course
the railroads had a number of the
ablest corporation lawyeers in the
country emtpleyed in the suit but they
wens well matched when they engaged
in legal combat with the four N. C.
lawyers named.

THE LEGEND OF THE
FIRST DRUNKARD
Noah lost hi* epithet "The Pious,"
whe nhe began to oocupy himself with
tjie growing te vine. He became a
'•r.ar of t« ground," and this first at
tempt to produce wine at the tame
time produced the first to drink to
Vcceea, the first te utter curse* upon
his associates, and the first to intro
duce slavery.
This is the way it all came about:
Noah found the vine which Adam had
taken with him from Paradise, when
he was driven forth. He tasted the
grapes upon it and finding them pala
table, he resolved to plant the vine
and tend it. On the selfsame day on
which he planted it, it bore fruit; he
put it in the wine press, drew off the
juice, drank it and became drunken,
and was dishonored—all on one day.
His assistant in the work of culti
vating the vine was stun, who had
happened along at the very moment
when he was enyagsd in planting the
slip he had found. Satan asked him
"What is it thou art planting here?"
Noah answered, "a vine." Satan:
"and what may be the qualities of
what it produces T" Noah: "The fruit
it bears is sweet, be it dry or ng>m;
it yledls wine that rejoicvth the heart
of man." Satan: "Let us go into part
nership in this business of planting
a vineyard." Noah: "Agreed,
Satau thereupon slaughtered a luiah
and-'then in succession, a lion, u pig
and a monkey. The blood of each as
it was killed he made to flow under
the fine. Thus he conveyed to Noah
what the qualities of wine are: before
a man drinks of it he is innocent a/
a lamb; if he drinks of it moderutely
he feels as strong as a lion; if he
drinks more of It than he can bear
he resembles the pig; and if he drinks
to the poiat of nitoxication then he
behavws lift* a monkey, he dances
around, sings- talks obscenely and
knows not what he is doing. This de
terred Noah no more than did the
example of Adam, whose full hacl also
been due to wine, for the forbidden
fruit had been the grape with which
he had made himself drunk.
