A FAKE STORY.
Pronounced Untrue by an Attorney in
the Case.

Under the head lines, "Blood on the
Face of the Moon" yesterdays Char
lotte Observer contained the following
Washington, Feb. 3.-Goyernor Rus.
sell is quoted in Wilmington as saying
that he 'Will protect Railroad Com
missioners Caldwell and Pearson
against the rule recently ISSUED by the
Supreme Court of the United States to
the full extent of his resources as COM
mander-in- chief of the State militia"
He is reported as having advised re-
sistance to the order of the Supreme
Court, saying that the object of the
removal of the Wilson's as railroad
commissioners was to precipitate a
conflict between the State and Federal
Judiciary. Il will go to JAIL" he is
quoted as saying, ito make the ques-
tion of Federal usurpation the para
mount issue in the next State cam
paign."
lit is not believed here that the State
Guard will respond to his call in the
event of resistance ON the part of Com
missioners Caldwell and Pearson. But
the Governors Guard, a colored conn
pany of Charlotte, comma nded by Capt.
s. A. l.. Taylor, has offered it's services
in anticipation Of the Governors failure
to utilize the State Guard.
Mr.. CIaudius Dockery, speaking of
the matter tonight, said that Marshal
DOckery will execute the orders of the
United States Supreme Court, and, if
necessary, will cali for troops to sup
port his authority in the premises. Col.
Mott. Governor Russell's chief of staff,
said tonight that it is the Governor S
avOwed purpose to prevent, at all haz-
ard, the surrender of caldwell and Pear
son to the Federal authority.
ITO me-" said District Attorney Hol-
ton, 'it looks like a case of Jail for
somebody, if there is amy trifing with
the process of the United States Court
in this matter"
And the most uncanny spot on the
face of the earth at this season of the
year is the District of Columbia Jail.
1t is not seriously believed that Com
missioners Pearson and Caldwell are
looking for that sort of destiny, but
that the show of force on the part of
the United States will sufficiently en-
phasize the conflict as a campaign is
sue.
Lawyers here agree that the rule is
sued by the Supreme Court against
Caldwell and Pearson means the sur
render of the office or Imprisonment.
The court, it is understood, was unan-
imous in ordering the issuance of the
rule in this case, holding, it is said, the
method employed by Caldwell and
Pearson in securing possession of the
commissioners office to be a grave Of
tense against the mandate of the court
There is only one precedent, it seems
