Effect of Agreement to Postpone
TnyIor-Bcckhum Suit.

Frankfort, KY. Feb. 16-The agreement
to postpone the Taylor Beckham suit op-
crates as truce in the legal battle over
the state offices. and 1t Is not probable that
there will be any decisive changes in the
situation until then unless the return of
the Democratic Legislature here next
weeks adds some unexpected feature.
A part of the attorneys on both sides
held a meeting this afternoon and dis
cussed several plans for consolidating the
various Injunction cases in order to avoid
a clash between the different state courts
in which they are pending, but a final un-
dersIanding was not reached.
A proposition, which is said to meet with
favor, is that all of the cases can be con-
solidated and submitted to a judge of one
of the neighboring Circuit Court dis
tricts. excluding both the Jefferson county
and Franklin county courts.

Most Stupendous Felon of Modern

To the Editor: Why have gentlemen of

Of the thugs and associate of assassins,
with the title of Governor whilst giving
to his competitor, Beckwith the univer-
sal prefix of plain Mister if even deign
ing to bestow upon him that scant hon.
or? Was not such insidious distinction cal
culated to prejudice, if not to PREJUDICE
the issues involved?
Let's have done with such mislead-
ing and pulling sentimentality, calcula-
ted as it is, to enoble crime of the
darkest dye and to defraud the ends Of
Justice The highest tribunal in the
land, has awarded the prize of right to
Beckwith.
He, Beckwith holds that high vantage
ground not only by such decision, but by
concurrent verdict of judicious honest
men throughout the world.
A pretty Governor indeed was
Taylor. Surely the mpudence and
arrogance of the claim are in keep
ing with the enormity of the offence.
Outside of Turkey he is one of the most
stupendous criminals of modern tines
And yet this fellow is held up as a warn
ing by example to the decent white men
Of North Carolina, by a dirty Federal
court official, unless they renounce their
antecedents, all claims to color preroga-
tive, involving of course their Unborn
inherent manhood. and the vile diabolical
sentiment is re-echoed if not antedated b5
a renegade, so called T. S. Senator. who
proposes in effect in a little secret con-
clave of his trusted satellites, to fight
and kill off say about one half
of our number and to drive the balance
into ignoble exile. Ferocious and blood
thirsty Marion; your utterance is the
more appalling. because those who have
watched your sportve tricks and assinine
gambols had come to the conclusion that
your nature was more akin to that of
the monkey than the tiger, funny but not
ferocious. But behold the outcrop of such
idle, senseless gasconade.
1t is caught up by two members Of
the other House, one wearing a white
hide. the other a black, craving the
Ethiop's pardon for sandwiching him
with such ingredients. And so it is de-
ducible. that all of this mschievous fam

THE FLORAL PARADE.
A Dream of Beauty in White. The Fascina-
tions of the Midway.

Especial to the News & Observer
Charlotte, ~ c.. May 22.-This has been
a great day in Charlotte's history. The
crowd surpassed our predictions; all
trains came in loaded with people from
towns in reach while country people
poured in from everywhere The parade
was not altogether as large as two years
ago but far more imposing and beautiful.
The procession formed at the intersec-
tion of Hill and Tryon streets and NOV
ed up Tryon along Seventh and College,
up College Avenue to North Tryon and
on to Independence Square. The parade
was headed by the mammoth Seaboard
Air Line band. Next followed long line
of Confederate Veterans greeted with wild
cheering; then came carriages bearing
speakers and honored guests. Following
this was a parade of fire companies COM
posed of hand reels, hook and ladder,
horse hose and old fashioned fire en-
gines.
This was a large and imposing feature
made up of companies from neighboring
towns, here to vie in the contest tomor-
row.
Next came the Charlotte drum corps
followed by a bicycle parade composed of
wheels decl1ed in all kinds of inconceiva-
BILE fancies. @FHsMyK2
After a pause came the great feature
for which this vast concourse had as
sembled. 1t was called ''Floral Parade"
but words fail to describe it. Vehicles
drawn by horses decked from crest
to hoof with bows ribbons and f1ounces.
In these fairy conveyances sat the fairest
al
ed. All kinds of colors and designs were
represented. Floats of palms and flow
ers, partially hiding fairies and queens,
all kinds of animals from the carriage
horse to the donkey and mule, but all
jaunty and handsome.
All along the line on each side rode
attendants, young men clad in spotless
white from cape to shoes riding milk
white steeds with white saddles and bril-
dies. decorated automobile brought
up the rear. The whole was like a lu-
scious dream and took half an hour to
pass a given point
The parade was reviewed by Lieutenant
Anderson. Eloquent speeches were made
by speakers as announced yesterday. Os-
borne surpassed himself. The sham bat
tie at the park from the noise made must
nave Deen roaring success. me Mid
way is the most fascinating feature, from
Roscoe" who eats snakes alive, by Sa-
pho and the dancing girls, on to the
streets of India where jugglers and aero
bats mystify, and the diver leaps from a
tower one hundred and ten feet high into
water four feet deep.

night Tomorrow firemen's races and
Thursday Elks day. The Midway all
the time.
