Wilson, N. c., March 2S.-The Rev. Mr..

profound scholar, deep theologian and
a benediction to any community.
w. B. Green, of Weldon, is here, aiding

a capital local editor, and his columns

The storm of three nights ago did
severe amage near town. Fences were
blown down, trees uprooted, and two
dwellings demolished.
More new residences are now going up
in Wilson than ever before in its history.
And some of them are handsome and ele-

emptory mandamus to the Auditor and
Treasurer was a violation of section >,
article T. of the Constitution. / am urged
to say that it was not, because the sub
ject matter of the action in which it was
issued was not a claim against the State,
it being a question whether the plaintiff
was entitled to be paid his demand for
both salary and unascertained and I'M
calculated expenses. | have thought of

plation of the section of the Constitution
above referred to; but it is expressly
admitted that if an artizan builds a

The high source from which this propo

it was addressed to us with serious
intention or presumption that it would
be entertained. 1 answer, therefore, that
it was a claim against the State, such
as contemplated by the Constitution. 1
am further urged to say that there was an
appropriation existing under chapter 16,
acts of 1897. and chapters Is, 10 and 81,
acts of 1899. directed to the payment of
Whites salary and expenses. But the
act of 1899, chapter q, expressly says
that no person shall be paid except those

names them specifically, conspicuously
emitting White.
If it had said AUTHORIZED UNDER
THE LAWS OF THIS STATE" then by
invoking the doctrine in part matefa
White might possibly had pretext of a
showing; but that doctrine cannot safely
be extended to the total abolition of the
identity of a particular, specified chapter
of the public laws. | therefore must say
no to this request. And how hoppens it
that those parties named in the act fail
of any recognition at the hands of the
court and at the door of the Treasury :?
The only answer is, by judicial legisla-
ton l am driven thus to the conclusion
that section 9. article A. of the Consttu-
tion of my State was deliberately vio-
lated by the Respondents by the issu-
ance of the writ 'in the nature of an
execution" against the State.
l further conclude that the acts of the
Legislature were designedly construed
away by the Respondents and the func-
tions of the Legislature grossly usurped,
thus viol ting the plainest proposition in
the Constitution, which distinguishes and
sets apart the three coordinate branches
of the government, which seems to me
10 70 the frLest and most important
pillar that aids in the support of the
great and glorious saperstructure of our

MANGUM TRIAL TODAY.
Major Martins Case has been Set for Next
Monday

Major Martins case was set yesterday
to be tried Monday. 1t is not very

II M. Argo and Mr.. 6 q. Ryan.
The trial of the Mangum case begins
today. There are large number OF
witnesses ON each side. and both sides
have employed able counsel. This case
has attracted much attention and is
the result OF one of the most sensa
tional killings that has taken place in
this county in long time. The de-
PENDANT has been in prison since last
September, although several attempts
have been made to secure his release on
bail by means of habeaus corpus pro-
ceedings.
The affair started last August when
Mangum shot and killed Peter Griffin
coroner's jury after examining into the
matter exonratd Mangun, stating in
it's verdict that the killing was in self
defense. Later Mangum was arrested
by warrant sworn out by brother of
the dead man. Oscar O'Neal was also
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Griffin charging him with being ac-
cessory to the killing. They received
a preliminary hearing Lefore Squire
Maroon who committed both to Jail
without bail O'Neal was later released
on bail by Justice Montgomery in a
habaus corpus processing.
Mangums defense is that Griffin was
advancing on him and reaching as if
for pistol when he (Mangum) fired the
fatal shot No pistol, however, was
found on Griffln's body.
The attorneys for the prosecution are
Messrs. S. G.. Ryan and the solicitor,
Mr.. Armistead Jones. The attorneys

judges demanded investigation. In the
light of the facts established, it was
the clear duty of the House of Repre-
sentatives to bring them to trial. They
have escaped by the union of twelve
Democrats in the Senate, With the solid
Republican vote, but this trial and the
vote of twenty-seven Of the strongest
men in the State is a salutatorv lessoon
and a warning to those who would de-
fly the law and ignore the Constitution.
1.-The judges are still in office, but it
is to be hoped that hereafter they will
be slow to ignore the will of the people
and destroy the organic law.

convicted until about two days ago, but
since that time have know there was
good doubt with the chances in favor of
the judges.
I am prepared to accept the verdict Of
the Senate in good faith as its consider
ate conscientious judgment.
The trial will, in my opinion, do much
good. 1t will call the attention of the
people of the State sharply to the pro-
visions of the Constitution violated by
the judges, and they will be more watch
full in the future.
1t will also make all the judges of the
State more careful, and no judge will
hereafter issue process against the Treas
urere unless he can place his hand upon
an express appropriation.
The Judges have the verdict of ma
jority or the Senate that they are guilty
of a violation of the Constitution andsof
law, and they escape simply by reason
of the constitutional provision requiring
a two-thirds vote.
1t is to be hoped that the result will
not encourage them to further attacks
upon the Constitution, but that it will
have restraining influence.
