The Dignity Was impressive.

i little tot of about five summers
held a place ~recently in one OF the
United States supreme court seats
while the learned justices were handing
down their Weighty decisions. saws The
New York Tribune. The court was the
embodiment Of dignity, so much SO
that it was almost oppressive. The lit
tie girl fidgeted in her place as the JUS
tees. in m~onOtonous tones, e~XDnunded
fine points OF law, and she shock her
head. adorned with g big picture hat.
IN Impotence.
There came q pause. enc justice
ceased TO speak. as he had given forth
all he HAD to say On some important
litigation. The Hence was thick
enough 10 be CIT with q knife, as they
sometimes say in the books. The mes
serger ny the nOiseless folding doors
shifted from one foot to the other. the
thrOng of lawyers within the bar wait
I'd 5reathiesslE for the next decision to
be announced. Still no justice spoke.
1t was more than the little girl with
a picture hat could endure. Mamma
said she in a voice audible even up ia
the judicial bench, why don't some
one laugh?"

THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION.
Chancellor Won Buelow Makes u
Speech in IN ReIchstaE.

Berlin, January 20.-Chancellor Won
Buelow discussing the Venezuelan
situation in the Riechstag today said:
president Castro has recognized in
principle the justice Of Germany's,
Great Britain's and Italy's demands
and has agreed to the preliminary
conditions for transferring the contro-
versy to The Hague arbitration court.
Diplomatic conferences are about to
begin at Washington. The American
government has undertaken to con-
duct the negotiations. Our aim Is to
bring armed action to the Speediest
possible termination. The blockade
will be raised as soon as the negotia-
tons at Washington have reached a
satisfactory conclusion."
The chancellor added: 1T is a Str1k-
ing fact hat part of the English press
often judges without ObjectiVity, often
with undisguised m~aleVolence in mat
ters where Germany is concerned. a
poet of great talent, turned savage
and even INDUCED in verbal injuries
against us. These phenomena car be
explained through a certain embitter-
ment of the English people over the
violent attacks of the continental
press during the South African war.
Such excitement interferes with the
work of diplomatists, but the relations
Of the monarchs and cabinets of on
don and Berlin have remained undis-
turbed and public opinion will be
quoted in time"
Repelling Won Vollmar's statement
hat Emperor William was following
anti-social tendencies the chancellor
said:
o the contrary, the country does
not exist where so much is accomplish
ed for the welfare of the working peo-
pie as in Germany. This Is due to the
mona rchs initiative. The emperor is
convinced that the country's task is to
! expand social reform legislation and
that the monarchy Is strong enough
to alleviate the existing evils. The
charges of Caesarism and Bonapartism
are ampty talk"

NEW S. C. STATE OFFICERS
Impressive Ceremony at the Inau-
Euration of Governor Hayward
and Other officials.

Columbia, 8. c.. January 21.-TOddy
at noon. Captain d. c. Hayward, f
Collector county was inaugurated into
the duties of the governors office, the
ceremonies being conducted in a most
impressive manner. The inauguration
Eas held In the hall OF the house OF
representatives
The picture on the rostrum was very
impressive, the chief justice and the
associate justices in their black judi
cia robes. the president of the senate
and the speaker of the house in their
state gowns of purple and IT, black
ROBBED clerks OF the two bodies, gave the
scene an air of stateliness and dign!-
". In some states the wearing of the
robe has been abandoned. but in South
Carolina, the old customs are closely
observed.
Chief Justice Pope administered the
oath of office to Governor Hayward,
who delivered his address.
The new state officials are as follows:
U. Y. Hunter, Jr.. attorney general:
J. T. Cant, secretary of state; a. ".
Jones, comptroller general: O.. s. Mar
tin. superintendent of education; X. II.
Jennings, state treasurer; John u.

day held a political office and his ele2-

most a political phenomenon. He is a
~descendent of the Heywards OF revolu-
tionary days who were leaders in CO.
onial and congressional services.

BEFORE STRIKE COMMISSION.
Chairman Gray Speaks In tren1
Terms at Words Used by President
Fahy.

Philadelphia. January 21.-The ses-
sions of the coa strike commission to-
day were enlivened by some interest,"
ing testimony. The feature of the ses-
sion vas Chairman Gray's rather
strong remarks in commenting on an
incident where District President
Fahy of the miners union would not
grant "permission'' during the strike
to a contractor to erect a boiler house
at a colliery which was necessary to
preserve the mine from damage. r. s.
lercur, a Lehigh colliery superinten-
dent said the company had contracted
with a man to build a boiler house.
The strikers refused to permit this to
be done: they would not ever permit
the material to be taken from the rail-
road cars. Finally the contractor wrote
to District President Fahy asking per-
mission to erect a boiler house. and
the labor leader replied: ON account
OF existing conditions I cannot grant
you the permission which, as 1 under
stand from your letter you request"
Judge Gray said he did not like the
word permission" as used by Mr..
Fahy. This was a free country and
he was not educated up to using it in
the way Mr.. Fahy had employed it.
He added he hated tyranny, no matter
whether it was practiced by an opera
tor, 4 miner or anyone else. The chair
ron delivered his remarks with much
force, n the incident created consid-
err BILE stir in the court room.
During the morning session the Le-
high Valley Goa Company. who pre-
scented its case today after the Temple
Iron Company closed, placed a union
miner on the stand to testify about
what seemed to be a trivial matter,
and on cross examination he proved a
good witness for the miners. He said
there would be trouble in the anthra-
cite regions as long as the coal COM
panies insisted upon paying the con-
tract miners by the car instead Of by
weight. This opened q discussion be-
tween counsel for both sides and the
commissioners which consumed much
time. The result was that tho COM
mission will devote an entire day to
hearing arguments on both sides Of
the question.

A GREAT
Eorth CnroIinians all Over the Land
to Meet in Greensboro Next "North
Carolina Day"
Especial to The Messenger.

Greensboro, n. c., January FL
Greensboro has decided to invite all
nonresident native North Carolinians
10 attend a reunion to be held in this
aty o October 18th next. The
Industrial and immigration Associa-
ton and the Young Mems Business
Association have planned the reunion
eHd eception n have appointed COM
HlittesS VINO will act with the mayor
90 the arrangements. Octo-
Ser l2th is North Carolina Day" set
apart by the general assembly of the
state TO be observed By schools and
colleges to commemorate the heroic
deeds OF ancestors.
The number of North Carolinians
dispersed abroad in the various states
Of the union runs into the thousands
n many of them are the most dis
hngUished men of the states in which
they are living. 1t would be an &C.
easiOn worth going a long way to par
tfciDate in If even a comparatiyely
small number of them should return
20 the reunion In Greensboro. A num-
Der Of them from New York, Pennsyl-
Yania, Louisiana, Georgia. and other
states have already indicated a pur-
pose TO attend it.
Greensboro has six months in which
to make arrangements for the recep-
6on. and doubtless many who have in
tended to visit their relatives in the
state will 20 time their visits az to
attend the great reunion in October.
A more delightful season could not be
selected and it is eminently fitting that
North Cardinals IONS at home and
abroad should join in celebrating
North Carolina Day.
GceensbOro's accessibility to the lead
ing centerS outside the state and it's
accessibility to every section of North
Carolina. together with it's ample hotel
facilities makes It h natural place for
The reunion.
The fact that our business associa-
tons are behind this movement is a
guarantee Of its success. Greensboro
ana all the rest of the state will give
gLa welcome to North Cardinals
scattered sons and daughters.
Committees nave already begun to
organize their work and will soon send
out announcements and invitations to
each state in the union. It would be
ar accommodation 20 the committees
n any citizen in the state will send to
Mayor w. II. Osborn or to DR.. c.. u.
hcIver. chairman of the committee of
arrangements. q list of names and
pOstOfiCe addresses of persons to
whom invitations ought to be sent. DR..
