The Raleigh News-Observer of Sun
representative, Mr. George Rountree,
and tells that he says that he "favore i
impeachment because of a plain viola
ton of the constitution" and thinks il
will prove to be of great benefit. The
News-Observer referring to his efforts
to secure Impeachment. says: His
speech in the house in favor of the i'm
parchment resolutions was the effort OF
a learned and well trained lawyer. No
ADLER speech was made during the
trial"
He is reported as saying since the
verdict of acquittal was rendered:
Il was originally adverse to the reso-
luton of impeachment because / ap-
preciated how easy it would be for
skillful lawyers to confuse the issue, IN
the minds of many people, and make
them believe it was a prosecution for
an error in judgment. In the case of
judges it is often difficult 20 say wheth-
er their errors proceed from ignorance
or misconduct

eral assembly of 1899 were drawn by

Hoke VS.. Henderson and Wood VS.. Bel
lamy on the one hand and Ward vs..

on the other. and We're not, in my opin-
ion, obnoxious to the principles estab
lished. as was supposed, by these cases,
and 1 cannot help believing the charge,
SO freely made by democratic lawyers
during the last two years, that the
court was moved by partisan bias. But
MO u-0rrll NOT n va innnao nhaI fI,a-o FOR
this. 1t was the plain violation of the
constitutional provisions limiting their
own power that caused me to vote
against them. They were not convicted
technically, but ook at the names of
the men voting against them!"
Mr.. ]. B. Hunter, the excellent editor
of the Durham Recorder, sends us a
copy of his paper containing over a col
umn editorial pon the late Brigadier
General William Hayes Cheek, of War
rem county, with whom he had been in
innate for a half century. He says OF
his career, and it merits copying be-
cause of the historic interest:
From this regiment CFirst North
Carolina cavalry there were promoted
five generals: Ransom, Baker, Gordon,
bdTIIIStI dHu SIlGSh. Captain llCC
was promoted Lieutenant Colonel, Col
onel. Brigadier and Major General.
He was engaged in the seven days
fight around Richmond, second NAL
vern Hill. two battles at Brandy Sta
ton, Gettysburg, Charlottesville cam
paigns in Maryland and Pennsylvania,
and many others-not less than 100
fights. He was always at the head Of
his command. urging his men not to go,
but to follow him."
He says hat this regiment Cor What
was left of it) surrendered at Appomat-
tox. 1t entered service at the begin
ming of the great war. OF this brave
and very efficient officer he writes:
General Cheek possessed all the
natural and cultivated virtues of a
Christian gentleman. In every walk
of life he exemplified his devotion to
duty and a high sense of honor-which
with earnestness and sincerity in every
aus he %espoused. love of justice and
right blended with a personal magne-
tism, drew to him friends from every
walk of life

The United States supreme court
has handed down decision that
greatly strengthens the hands of the
administration. 1t has been the con-
tention of the antis that the con-
stitution follows the flag; that the
islanders who have recently come
under the wing Of the United States
are by the constitution placed In the
same political and economical condi-
tion as the people Of the states. This
would have prevented a proper recon-
struction of society III the new posses
sions, and would have made it uphill
work to introduce desired reforms
therein. No wonder that-according
to the press dispatches-President
Mckinley and his advisors are much
gr2tifed,

lie and covered with flowers. The
ceremonies were presided over by

were delivered by the Rev. J. A..
Lemcry, Capt. M. Flick and Mi. p.
Gahan. Chas. S. Lane recited Lin
coins speech at the dedication OF
the cemetery at Gettysburg. A
large chorus-choir rendered many in
spring army songs. Capt. Flick read
the ritual prescribed by the G. A. r.,
and the exercises closed with the ma
tiOnal anthem. A tent was provided
by Marion Burge.: 1t is expected that
hereafter similar impressive services
will beHlleld at Bulge Cemetery on

The newspaper at the other end OF
the street had q very severe attack Of.
Calamity" last week.. That is simply
the force of habit. A former pop
calamity editor who masquerades as
an independent" until he shall find it
to his interest TO get of the fence can
not be expected to change his habits
"all at once" AS a matter Of fact,
this country has its drawbacks and it's
good qualities, just as any other region
has. The outlook is; not nearly so
dark in Emmons county now as it was
a few years ago, when cattle, horses
and, sheep were at low-watcr mark as
to price, and the chief dependence in
the matter Of income was wheat. The
grain crops are not yet failure in
Emmons county, by any means.

probability that any immediate step

IT'S mighty strange that the drought
in North Dakota extends over only a
few counties out in these parts. Up
in Burleigh they're going to dam the
creeks as we'll as the dry weather,
and some say that the big ponds re-
sulting therefroln will bring more
rain. We also have theory. Isn't
it possible that the prohibition dry
spell that We are having In these parts
tends to prevent the conservation of
moisture in the bodies Of the hcmale
population, and, their breaths being
devoid Of dampness, an nnfavorable
influence is exerted on the atmosphere
and normal precipitation is thus pre-
vented? We launch this theory as.
companion for the dam proposition.

STAHI. MIST APPEAR.

Judge Cleaveland in the probate court yesterday ordered Attorney Carl F. Stahl to file to-day an inventory and accounting as trustee on the estate of the late c. B. Engel.
 Stahl is not in town and is supposed to be in New York. He was represent ed in court by Attorney David Strouse. MT. Strouse said that Attorney Stahl has not squandered any part of the En- gel estate and that he stood prepared to pay over to the heirs all money due. There was $3,000 in the estate, which was left on a life insurance. Four minor children are heirs and Attorney Stahl was their guardian. There are a few other small estates in the probate court of which Stahl was trustee and which are in process of settlement, If no accounting is filed by Attorney Stahl by this morning at 10 o'clock another trustee will be appointed in his place and the assets of the estate turned over to the new trustee.
 MT. Strouse says that he has exam ined all of MT. Stahl's books and finds that all the properties entrusted to his care have been properly handled. He was asked if he had heard from Attor- ney Stahl and he replied that he didn't care to answer that question.
