A Judicial Joker.
tesville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
Judge Sutton is presiding over
Mecklenburg Criminal Court in
Charlotte, and the first of last
week there appeared in both the
daily papers there an advertise.
melt over his name stating that
he had ordered the sheriff to hand
him at the end of the week Il list
of the names of all taxpayers
who had not paid their taxes for
this year, in order that the solic-
itor might take such action as
the law required. This action OF
Judge Sutton attracted q good
deal of attention and the opin-
ion was expressed that he was
simply doing his duty in enforc-
ing compliance with the act of the
last Legislatures which provides
fine and imprisonment for the
non-payment oftaxes. Butloand
behold Last Saturday after a
week had elapsed, Judge Sutton
gave ont that he never wrote
the advertisement in question or
ordered if inserted in the newspa
pers; that he did not instruct the
grand jury with regard to the tax
law, but that the whole business
grew out of a jocular remark he
made to the sheriff in open court
about the payment of taxes. At
last accounts they had saddled
on the sheritfs clerk the RESPONSE
bility of writing the tax ad. and
signing Judge Sutton's name to
it, but the clerk and the sheriff
are yet to be heard from. In the
meantime, however, Judge Ew-
art had said at Mcdowell court
that no lawyer who had sense
enough to come in out ofthe rain
would put such a construction
On the tax law as Judge Sutton
Was reported to have put on it;
and it seems that Gov. Russell
had also jumped on Judge Sut-
ton for making himself conspicu-
ous in the matter.
In view of these faces and Judge
SuttOn's belated and ratheregui'
vocal denial, there is something
mysterious about the whole bus
mess. The Judge claims that he
asked the sheriff in open court
after the grand jury had been dis
charged, how he was getting or
collecting taxes. and that the Of
ficer replied "rather poorly"
then his honor told him to make
out at the end of the week a list
of those who had failed to pa J
their taxes and present it to him
and he would sce what he coul(
do for him. This, Judge SuttoT
now claims was intend fore joke
The Charlotte papers reported
his remarks. evidently under IT,,
impression that he was in earn
est about enforcing the tay law
and when the advertisement ap
poared in the papers over hi
name there was such n hustlin;
in MecklcnburG to get up tn
money to pay taxes as has no
been since the Mecklenburg Dec
: laration was signed.
1t is rather strange that Judg
Sutton allowed the advertise
ment, unauthorized, as he says
to appear for whole week with
out saying anything about it: b
must have known of it's being j

] bold thing Tor the sheriff $ cler
} to write the ad. and sign t h
J judges maine to it without h /
authority. From outside appear

From our Regular Correspondent.

Up to this time the most
marked feature of the Con J

anxiety of the administra-
tiOn as to the probable ac-
ton Ofcertain Senators when

spoken efforts of Secretary

sheriff is one Of the oldest Of offices.
from the very beginning Of civil gov

name the man who has filled that office
to the satisfaction Of Il greater percent,
are of the people Of his county. There
may Zoe other equally competent anC
popular sheriffs, but there are not man,
and it would take Il long time to thinl
Of any.
Sheriff Proctor does not know what I
is to fear the making of arrests, ever
though he is looking down the barrel O
