EIGHTY If L ADDED TO THE BAR THIRTEEN APPLICANTS t "FELL DOWN" ON SUPREME COURT ' , EXAMINATION. MRS. A. M. FRY SUCCESSFUL 6econd Woman in North Carolina to Practice Law The List Shows That One Colored Applicant was Successful. Raleigh. Out of nlnety-three -appli-cnats before the Supeme Court to ob tain license to practice law in North Carolina the list of the successful can-' didates given out showed that eighty passed and will receive their licenses, thirteen again that unlucky number having failed to pass. It will be noticed that in the list is. given as one -of the successful appli cants Mrs. Lillian Rowe Fry, of Swain county. Mrs. Fry is the wife of a prominent attorney of Bryson City, Hon. A. M. Fry, who was a mem ber of the state Senate in 1909. Mrs. Fry graduated in 1892 from the Ashe ville Female College and was married about seventeen years ago,, having one daughter, Lois Fry, aged ten years, bne reaa law in her husbands office and at the University of North Carolina. She does not propose to appear in court, but says she willbe an office lawyer.- Mrs. Fry is daughter of Rev. J.C. Rowe, pastor cf the Methodist church at Salisbury her brother, Rev. G. T. Rowe, being the pastor of the Tryon Street Meth odist church in Charlotte. Mrs. Fry is an attractive and cultured woman, and the young men who were the class with her at the University said on the day cf the examination that they felt certain that Mrs. Fry would be successful, that she is a remark ably bright woman. Mrs. Fry is the second woman to obtain a law license in North Carolina, the first having been Miss Talina Anne Holton, of Guilford, sister of District Attorney A. E. Holton, of "Winston-Salem. She passed the examination in 187?, but died a few years after being licensed to practice law. This makes an in terval of thirty-three ' years in the granting of the two licenses to the only women in North Carolina who have received them. There is no record of the race of applicants made in the Supreme jCourt and with three colored applicants for law license It is only known that one of these passed the examination, Franklin W. Williams, of Davie county. . Newbern Agricultural Exhibits.

Under twenty-six postmasters-sten- eral of the United States did James Henry Marr serve; before he was gath ered to his fathers. TTa ntprod tha department in 185 under Amos Ken dall, who has gone down in history as the "brains" of Jackson's two admin istrations, and he died a chief clerk when William FjTIlas was enjoying under Cleveland the distinction of be ing the country's first Democratic postmaster-general since Buchanan's administration, ; I "Kendall has been called the man who really put Jackson up to many of his best-known acts as resident" said Mr. Marr to! me one day in the early eighties. "I remember that it was freely said all through Jackson's administrations that Kendall was the real author of most of 'Old Hickory's state papers. But however that was, I do know that it was Amos Kendall who made the fight with Jackson back of him, .which established the fact that the federal courts could not mandamus a president or any mem ber of his cabinet "That fight all came about because of the persistence of 'Extra Billy' Smith. 'Extra Billy, as a young man, in the late twenties, had established mail routes running across Virginia into the Carollnas and even into Georgia r he was jwhat a good many years later would I have been called a Star Router. Now 'Extra Billy . was not content with the regular com pensation from the government: he was always asking for extras, and when he did not get them he usually made a fuss: hence his nickname. which gave him national notoriety long before he was elected governor of Virginia in 1846. - 'Well, when Amos Kendall became postmaster-general be made up his mind that some of the mail routes in Virginia In which 'Extra Billy' Smith was interested were costing a good bit more than they ought to, and that still other routes i were unnecessary. and he proceeded" to act accordingly. only to find himself at once in hot water with 'Extra Billy,' who threat ened all " 6orts t or political conse quences. ; I "Mr. Kendall, In his dilemma, called upon the president and laid the whole matter before him. "He threatens, does he?' cried 'Old Hickory,' when he had been told of the rage of 'Extra Billy.' 'Well, you can say to him that if he threatens you he threatens me. Let him under stand that I have .never yet been frightened by a threat 1 "Amos Kendall I went back to the postoffice department and gave a final and emphatic 'no to 'Extra Eilly,' who swore mightily that he would Have the law on -Kendall r and aura ways come unsolicited; he had never asked for any appointment under the government- .

But he did this not for his own advance ment, but to prove practicable a theory he had long held. And here comes In a bit of unwritten history- "After the failure of the attempt to assassinate Czar Alexander H In 1866, congress by resolution expressed Its sense of gratitude that the life of the European sovereign who had been so friendly to the Union in Our own time of great emergency should have been spared. President Johnson at once decided that this congratulatory resolution should be delivered to the csar by a special representative of the government and he designated Mr. Fox for the mission. "At that time there was serious question of the seaworthiness of the type of war vessel known as the mon itor. The marine engineers were prac tically unanimous, in declaring that the monitor was unfit for try. service Book That Won How James Parton's Life of Greeley Aroused the Interest of "Fan ny Fern" In the Author! Recently I told the story of how an obscure writer on Nathaniel P. Wil lis Home Journal James Parton made himself famous as a biographer by writing an anecdotal life of Hor ace Greeley in the middle fifties, when the name and deeds of the great Whig editor were on the Hps of every Amer ican, north and south. My authority for the story was Parton's friend, Hen ry B. Stanton, husband of Elizabeth cady Stanton; and. Mr. Stanton is Amos Kendall , enough, a few days later, Mr. Kendall was served with papers in a proceed ing asking for a mandamus to issue against the postmaster-general to compel him to grant extra compensa tion to 'Extra Billy' and to restore certain of his mail routes. "Again Mr. Kendall laid the situa tion before the president 'Old Hick ory's' ire was up on the Instant "'Kendall,' he said and I had the conversation direct from Kendall him self 'Kendall, don't you pay any at tention to" that paper. If the courts try to eommit you for contempt, you turn to me. I'll make it speedily un derstood that the executive depart ment of this governmentjs Indepen dent of the courts. No court can man damus me or any member of -my cab inet We can be impeached, but we can't be mandamused, and it is time that the courts understood it' "So Amos Kfendall went back to the postoffice department and paid no at tention to the mandamus proceedings. Then there began a move to have him punished for contempt Mr. Kendall told me that he believed that had it been necessary, President Jackson himself would have gone Into court and denounced the court to Its face for even daring to summon a member of the cabinet to the court to answer charges of contempt But the law officers of the government took the matter up, contending that the courts could not mandamus the executive i department the president and the! cabinet officers and the higher court sustained that view, settling the issue once for all."

From San Antonio, Tex., where he has been staying for the past three years the great Oblate priest Father Ring, has returned to Dublin. At In chicore, Ireland, where he formerly lived, he was much beloved by the people of the district, irrespective of class or creed. One never-to-be-forgotten memorial that remains in then hearts was the great Irish pilgrimage which he guided to Rome about ten years ago. The reception accorded him then on his return with the pil grimage from the Eternal City Is still remembered as being one of the largest and most touching manifesta tions of public esteem ever witnessed in the city. All the City Catholic or ganizations turned' out en masse, ac companied by several bands, and greeted the white-haired priest on his arrival at the North Wall, and led him in processional order out to Inchicore. To Be Consistent "Do you think that man can con vince people that he is greater than his party?", "Perhaps," replied Senator Sorghum, "but" the only way he can do It is to make x his party look exceedingly small. except that which was near shore. Bat Mr. Fax had long been confident that the monitor was perfectly tea- worthy, and he had stated at various times that he would be willing, should- opportunity offer, to risk his own life and . stake his reputation as a naval authority upon an experiment which would decide once for all the question of the seaworthiness of the monitor. When he was asked to carry the con gratulatory message to the czar he at once saw an opportunity of putting! A. 'mm. a . . .' ' tne monitor to tne test he had long had tn mind, and . he', stated that he would be glad to undertake the mis sion' provided the monitor Mlantono mah was commissioned to-take him across the Atlantic as the official rep-l resentatfve of the United States. "His request, was granted. He boarded the monitor with perfect con naence. tine steamed easily across the ocean, demonstrating beyond thei shadow of a doubt that this type oft easel could cope with any. emergency of .wind or weather which any other type of vessel could meet. And when this had been demonstrated Mr. For! was , never happier. He was. I be lieve, prouder of his victory over the marine engineers than of the im portant part he played in opening the Mississippi, one of the greatest feats of the war." (Copyright Mil. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Writer a Bride also authority for the story told here, of how his life of Greeley won Parton i a bride. ! 1 had the story from the lips of the lady who became Parton's wife the year after his life of Greeley was pub lishedthe widowed sister of Nathan iel P. WnBa, sand Mr. Stanton. "She was then Sara Eldridge in private life, though "known from one end of the country to the other as Fanny Fern.' Up to the time of the appearance of! 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' Fanny Fern stood pre-eminent among American women authors, her sketches in the New York Ledger bringing her in a handsome income. "Not long after James Parton had seen his life of Greeley leap Into in stant popularity, winning him : a per manent place among American biog raphers, Fanny Fern visited her broth er at hia estate, Idlewild,' near New burg, N. Y. There she met for the first time James Parton, an old em ployee of her brother's and a friend. Naturally, the subject of Parton's suc cess came up in the ordinary course of conversation the book was the talk of the day and the poet's sister evinced a lively interest in the man ner in which the material had been collected for the life. Parton had spent weeks traveling all over New Hamp shire, Vermont and Pennsylvania in terviewing persons who had - known Greeley in the days of his obscurity, and Fanny Fern became so interested in Parton's story of his travels that' sho laughingly declared to him that if he wrote a book entitled 'How I Wrote My Life of Greeley.' she be lieved it would be quite as popular ai the life Itself. "Thus Parton entertained the Jta-j mous Fanny Fern, whose collected sketches sold over 100,000 copies be fore the sale dropped off: while she. in turn, found Parton deeply interested in ner stories of her own career how, for example, after the death of her husband she was in such strait ened circumstances that she decided to open a sewing; school, a venture which was: not very profitable. Then. one day; she wrote out a little sketch and sent It to a newspaper, which pub lished it and- sent her a dollar. 'But Is was not the pay that impressed Fanny Fern; it was the fact that she round tne little sketch copied into a great number of newspapers: and. judging from this that she had struck) a popular chord, she went oxrher way writing, and so wrote herself intoi fame. In this way, and over Parton's life of Greeley as it were, the courtship of the two writers began. And when their betrothal was made it was mu tually agreed that each should go on as he or she had gone on in the past that each would maintain a separate literary identity. , That agreement was perfectly kept, neither interfering in the- slightest degree with the other's literary work. And their married life was ideal, and it was ideal because Mr. and Mrs. James Parton were one, while James Parton, biographer, and Fanny Fern, popular author, were two entirely different . persons.
