Colonel A. D. Bright, Of Browns

COLONEL A. D. Bright, of Browns
Vile, is one of the counsel for defend.
ants-that is the State officers anC
bondholders-in the 1908 case. ID
followed Mr.. Vertrees last Wednes
day and at once gained the attention
of the court and all present by saying
that he had no printed brief, as bis
people we're too poor to pay for print
ing one. just who he meant, whether
the people of Haywood county or the
defendants directly interested, is not
exactly clear from the newspaper re-
port before us. Perhaps he intended
to touch the sympathies Of the court
as he would jury, by making out that
he represented the poor down
trodden bOndholders and the State
officials who are authorized by the act
to do the funding at three dollars
for each bond. Possibly he
meant that the people of Haywood
county were too poor to pay for print
ing his brief. This view We cannot
discuss intelligently unless We knew
the size, the weight, latitude and
longitude of the brief. 1t may be
bigger than Appleton's Encyclopedia
or the Congressional Record Of the
last ten years. For all we know it
would make good sized law library.
We suspect it would, for Colonel
Bright is a full-sized man mentally
and physically, and never does any
thing by halves. 1t is hardly to be
supposed that he would put in a little
ten-cent brief Of fifty or a hundred
pages. He is not that kind of a high
tax hurricane. TIE people of old
Haywood may rest content in the
knowledge Of the fact that they are
ably represented in this case, even il
unable to pay for printing of few
hundred volumes of high tax
literature. 1t is to be hoped
that they passed around the
hat and raised money enough to pay
the expenses of their representative to
Nashville and that he did not have TO
sacrifice his own interests too much
for their benefit. An attorney whose
clients are unable to have his briefs
printed and bound always creates a
sympathy in court. This seems to be
one Of those cases. The poverty OF the
1908 folks awakens lively feeling Of
sympathy which We are afraid will
reach even the susceptible court. The
picture is almost as touching as the
appearance Of q mother and seven
small children in court weeping over
the chances Of husband and father
being removed" from his position as
head of the family. AS brother Bright
is utterly unable to produce a brief in
print, brother Ye-trees ought to have
the generosity to lend him one or two
of his.
