THE TREASURY MAY BE BANK
RUPT.
With the extravagance Of the
Democratic legislature of 1899 and
1901 the people who pay the taxes
to support their State government
need not be surprised IL in less than
two years the State Is overwhelmed
with debt. The State Treasury Is
now without adequate funds to
meet all the demands, and 1t is ex-
oeedingly doubtful II the revenue
measure recently enacted will bring
into the Treasury sufficient funds
to meet the Indebtedness.
But the people will soon have an
opportunity to say whether or not
they want reckless extravaganza to
continue.
They will soon have an opportu-
nifty to say whether or not they de-
sire to have the State government
administered by Revolutionists,
Rioters and Redshirts, or by hon
est, liberal, just, high. toned and
conservative business men and
farmers.
IL the present methods are to
continue indefinitely, then indeed,
the grand old Commonwealth has
fallen into evil hands and upon evil
times.
1t behooves all men who desire
less burdens, more honesty and de
cency In politics, to unite on a com.
mon basis to defeat the present
mobocracy.

It is evident that a larger and
larger majority of the people of the
State are reaching the conclusion
that the judges should not be con-
victed, and we also feel safe in say.
ing that the same sentiment is grow.
ing in the Senate. Everybody
seems to realize this except James
Haffidavit Pou, Uriah Heap Allen,
Redshirt Simmons, and Camelian
Buffalo Daniels. They are inflated
and intoxicated with the idea that
they own the State, and since their
redshirt, revolutionary and sanguin.
ary campaign ended in a victory OF
force and fraud, they cannot see
why they should not take all the re-
naming offices by fraud, force OF
any other methods that their un.
conscience checked rapacity may de.
sire. The tide is already turning
and they will soon learn what the
people of the State think Of them
and their methods.

Any one who will read the able
speech Of Judge Bynum in defense
CT the Justices will be convinced
that the whole impeachment pro
ceedings are absolutely without
foundation Of fact. As q legal ar
gument his speech deserves to rank
with the best ever delivered.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1901-03-28

Hon. F. 1. Osborne, who made
one of the most powerful if not the
most powerful speech for the de-
Tense, indeed, in sour opinion the
most powerful speech on either side,
covered the whole ground. We
wish in this connection, however,
simply to call attention to his argu-
ment to show the right and duty of
the judges to issue the mandamus.
We will not attempt now to quote
Mr.. Osborne in his own words, for
we will publish it literally in an
other issue, but in substance On this
subject he said:
You say that you should impeach
these judges fer issuing the man.
damus ordering the Treasurer to pay
the salary of White in obedience to
the judgment Of the court, even if
you could do it on no other grounds.
You admit that there are cases where
mandamus can issue, but you con-
tend that the judges are impeach-
able in this case for issuing the man.
damus, first, because there had been
no appropriation out of which to
pay Whites salary, and, second, be-
cause the legislature had passed q
specific act prohibiting the Treasurer
to pay his salary. Now let us see
The legislature attempted to abolish
Whites Office, but it at once pro.
ceeded to recreate the Office and tC
place other persons in power to per.
form similar duties, and that act
thus recreat,ng the Office made an
appropriation to pay for the per.
Torrance Of the duties of the office
So, when the court declared, as il
was bound to do under the doctrine
of Hoke VS.. Henderson, that the
action of the legislature was uncon'
stitutional in removing White, and
inasmuch as the Office they once
abolished had been recreated, that
White was still the officer to per.
form the duties under the new act
then White became entitled to the
salary or compensation fixed in the
new act for which that act made 9
specific appropriation. Therefore,
there was an appropriation to pay
! for the performance of the duties OF
shell fish commissioner, and the
court not only had the right, but il
was its duty to issue the mandamuf
ordering the Treasurer to pay White
the man who had performed the
duties. This is sufficient answer te
their contention, and puts that phase
of the question behind us.

but our conversation soon got on the
dissentirg opinion Of Judge Clark.
Mr.. Worth said that Judge Clark
had just left his office and threaten
ed and brought every influence to
bear to keep him from paying the
money for Whites claim, saying
that he would be impeacned and his
bondsmen held liable and if it was
paid there would be three vacant
chairs in the Supreme Court when
the Legislature met in June. This
conversation was in may. l knew
that Judge Clark and Mr.. Worth
were friendly, and asked if he invi-
ted him. He said Judge Clark came
to his Office of his own accord and
told him this. l asked:
"Well, did you ever hear of such
thing before?' He said he never
did.
"'What are you going to do?' l
asked.
"Mr. Worth said, Follow the
court
"This was in May and l may have
mentioned it to some one and refer
red to Judge Clark's act as unbecom-
ing.
~ said, 'Why don't you 60 before

he does not then the court can act ,
Harris went away.
"When Colonel Kenan came in
and asked about the writ, / said:
when this comes before open court
on motion you will hear from me-
"When Colonel Kenan came be-
fore the conference later and a.ked
advice, Judge Furches answered
promptly: Issue the writ, the case
justifies it and it is your duty
Judge Douglas was not so positive.
"Colonel Kenan was not satisfied
and came back later, and I said,
Don't issue it; you know my dis.
sent; that Is my opinion. 1 don't
want to be dragged into this thing;
that my record was clear and what
I did should be from the open
bench Judge Clark then wanted a
protest he had filed with the clerk
spread upon the minutes and i'm the
records of the court. Judge Fur.
ches said that the court could not
allow that; he had his dissent in the
reports and there was nothing be.

Continuing, the witness said tina,
he said to Judge Clark:
"Judge Clark, the time has come
when 1 am bound to speak out. You
have filed opinions that are 80 filled
with appeals to the people and DO
1tical learning that it is time thi.

The witness then answered som.
questions as to his filling the dissen
ting opinions alluded to in some
previous testimony, adding:

this question; but that the Supreme
Court of North Carolina L. the final
arbiter to pass upon questions ofco
flict betw cen the Legislature and
the Constitutions; that three Of the
five members of that court had de
cided one way, and that that was
final. / could not do less"
This closed the direct examination
of Judge Montgomery.
Justice Walter Clark, Ex-Judgc
w. r, Allen, Mr.. J. +. Spainhour,
Judge w. A. Graham and other
managers were examined on the
witness stand. Judge Clark admit
ted that he advised Treasurer Worth
not TO obey the mandamus Of the
court and that he said there would
be three vacant seats on the Supreme
Court if writ was issued.
After the conclusion of the testi-
mony Major w. A. Guthrie opened
the argument for the prosecution,
speaking about four hours. Major
Guthrie was followed by Captain
Charles NJ. Cook, who made the
opening argument for the Judges.
CAPTAIN COOKS ABLE ARGUMENT
We make the following extracts
from Capt. Cooks speech:
1 will first pay my respects to s
few of the remarkable propositions
Of the distinguished gentleman who
has just preceded me.
1fthere is one book in this case ]
thought the managers would have
ignored it is the Word Of God. The
spirit OF this book is against this
proceeding. Major Guthrie was un.
fortunate in the selection from the
Holy Book which he quoted. 1t il
rather the killing of the high priest
than the touching of the ark. Is.
rasl did not know her desolation un-
til she turned her back on her judg.
es. l defy the managers to cite one
sentence from the Holy Book en-.
dorsing their action. Preventing
Scriptures to accomplish an unholy
purpose! Israel never saw degreda.
ton until she dishonored one of he,
judges.
The chairman Of the manager.
was disposed to refer to his addres.
to influences at work among Sena
tors. l shake hands with him and
say let this case be tried according
to the law. All We ask is a fair tri

THE CHIEF JUSTICE TEsTIrTEs.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE TEsIIflEs'
The testimony of Chief justice
Furches should convince any M
pref udiced person that the court dio
not intend to violate the constitution
wilfully and deliberately.
In what they did in rendering me
decision in the once holding" cases
there is no doubt in the minds OF
honest, fairminded men that tht
court were actuated by the highest
and best motives, and that they per'
formed this duty fearlessly and con-
scientifically.
The testimony OF the vererstl IL
Chief Justice shows that in an over
whelming nump Der OF cases the cour
decided that the Democratic once
holders could not be ousted, hence II
is absurd to say that the court we're
partjxan in their decisions. Tn.y
never SLOWED party considerations
to enter a. q factor. They follow' d
the decisions Of the court for htty
years, holding that q person elected
for q term Of years could not be Gus
ted until the expiration Of the time
specified that the party holding thu
once had acquired property righ
therein.
When the court in 1897 ah met
this doctrine they were hearth,
praised by the Democratic press DO
cause II meant that certain Demo
Gratis would be allowed to hold thei
OH .es, which the Legislature sough
to take from them.
But when this same doctrine Wa
held by the court and it meant 'h
retention in 90 of some Republi

was raised by the Democratic press

1t was all right 30 long rs the dc

PATCHES.
why Grown ones Come on Faces.


When a woman can get rid of brown
matches on her face by changing her diet
il is worth while for other women who
care for their compilations 10 know some
thing of the method.
A lady in Michigan City, Ind, who does
not want her name mentioned, says that
coffee caused the brown patches on her
face by first giving her stomach trouble,
then putting her nerves out of order and
the result was shown in her complexion.
She quit coffee and began using Postum
Food Coffee and in less than a mont h
the stomach trouble disappeared and
within two months her complexion cleared
no and is now fine and rosy.
She speaks Of Mr.. Knight ard Cid
con Hunt OF Westheld, Ind. who have
both been improved in health by leaving
off coffee and taking in It's place Postum
Food Coffee: also Il Mr.. ana Mrs. Jesse
Stanley. Of the same place. who were in
poor health and suffered from stomach
trouble. They quit coffee and after using
Postum i short time the result was nat
ural sleep, return Of appetite, and a gain
in strength AS fast as nature viii rebuild.
She gives the names of number Of
other persons who have been helped by
leaving OF coffee and taking Postum
Food Coffee.
II is a safe proposition that If any cof-
fee user has stomach or nervous trouble
or bad complexion, he or she can get
rid of the trouble by disseminating cuf-
Zee and taking Postum Food Coffee. 1t
is easy enough to prove the truth of this
by making a trial. Every hrst-class grocer
soils Postum.
