Gently noted, died yesterday morning
about IL o'clock.
An appropriate obituary by some
friend well acquainted with the particu-
lars of his life and character will be fur
.nished US. We will therefore here only
briefly refer to both. He was born in
Buncombe county about the year 1904,
and was therefore in his 82nd or 83rd
year. Most of his life was spent in the
county of his nativity in quiet, unobtru-
sive pursuits as farmer, merchant, and,
in late years. as landlord of the hotel at
AlexandeEs He was a man of good ac-
quirement and of strong, clear Judgment
straits so stronglyrecognized by his fellow
countymen that he was entrusted to
represent them in the very important
constitutional convention of 1885. suryiv-
ing for ffty-one years an occasion which
has become eminently historical. For

BRIEF or ARGuAdENT OF JosEPH s. ADAMS
ESQ, OF COUNSEL ADVISING THE CoURT.
It would be libel to write and publish
Of any citizen, ifthey would hang him
we really do not know but that the coun.
try would be helped, and it certainly
would be none the less libel when
written and published Of The presiding
officer of court.
It is no defense to libel that the words
were writtenin jest.
The offence of libel is not committed
where the libellous matter is written. but
where it is read and circulated, and the
court can see that this libel was read and
circulated IN the presepce Of the court
and 4 the court room.
Therefore ne conclude that defendants
have committed & misdemeanor known
as libel and tending to a breach of the
peace, in presence Of the court and in the
court room while the court was in ses-
sions and this is certainly a contempt of
court. -
In q word we think it is a contempt of
COURT to circulate in the court room DUR
ing the session of the court a libellous
writing concerning the court
The Asheville citizen. [volume] (Asheville, N.C.) 1885-1889, 1886-08-01

The Importance of the issue pre-
sented in the CITIZEN contempt
case is fully emphasized when it is
remembered that in addition to the
opinion ofthe court that it possess
ed the power assumed, a number Of
able, even distinguished members of
the bar, sustained the court in such
assumption. Messrs. Davidson,
Malone. ]. II. Merrimon, w. w.
Jones. v. S. Lusk, Jos. S. Adams
and Fl. B. Carter, all gentlemen
learned, and we may say with justice
distinguished in the law, as friends
and officers of the court, not as
counsel in the usual sense Of the
term, sustained the court in its po-
Lsition. This fact, we say, fully sus~
tains the CITIZEN in accepting the
issue made by the court, and, mak-
ing test case for final adjudication.
A court, however learned or sincere,
may commit errors. and does; just
as think Judge Shuford has COM
mitted a very grave error in this
case; but when in a question ins
volying as we think a great consti-
tutional right and privilege, the
court is sustained IN what is be-
lieyed to be error by number of
able and learned gentlemen, then
the issue could not come too soon
or be resisted too promptly. There is
no animus In this case on either
side; as presented, it is a dry, naked,
very vital, question of law, and as
such have we contested the power
of the court in the cause now pend>
ing.
