NORTH CAROLINA DAY AT MAC0N

North Carolina Day at the Georgia
State Fair at Macon. Ga. last week,
closed with a brilliant banquet Thursday
night at which one hundred and fifty North
Carolinians sat down to dinner. This
state has sent thousands of its sons to
develop Georgia's resources and they stand
foremost among the leaders of that great
State. The pastor of Macons leading Bap-
fist church, Rev ]. L. White, D. D., form
erly pastor of the First Baptist church Ill
Raleigh. was the first speaker The toast
master was Hon. Bridges Smith. mayor
of Macon. a North Carolinian born and
bred. who as mayor of Macon has taken
resolute stand for civic righteousness In
Macon The other speakers were Hon.
Heke Smith. Rev. L. G. Broughtoh, Mr.
F. II. Glenn. Mr.. w. W. Davis and Hon.
John T. Boifeuillet. The North Carolina
residents who had been invited to speak
were prevented because of the conflict OF
dates. the State Fair at Raleigh having
its big day also on Thursday.
The Macon News, which has an appre-
ciative account of the banquet, thus re-
ports the beginning of Hon. Hoke Smiths
address on North Cardinals Part in the
Struggle for independence:
HE said that when he received an in
vitation several weeks ago to be present
L hn
that rejecting upon the fact that the
banquet was to be a gathering OF North
Carolinians, he pushed aside other mat
tiers to come. In this Mr.. Smith SAID
that he was like James Collins, one of the
first inhabitants of Atlanta, who came
from North Carolina and who began IN
Atlanta as a hotel keeper 1t was told
that one day there came several persons
in the place with the exciting report that
a boy had broken his leg, but to that
Collins paid no attention. Directly there
came the news that it was North Caro-
lima boy who had broken his leg, and inn
mediately1 Collins made haste to the
rescue.
1t seems, contrary to the expression of
Governor Aycock at Greensboro, that the
North Carolina song can be sung in Il
strange land provided the singers first
opened their eyes in North Carolina, for
the Macon News thus closes it's account:
"At the conclusion of the speaking, the
entire assemblage joined in the rendition
of the familiar old song called the old
North State, every note of which found
AN echo in the hearts of those present,
and in the years to come the sweet melody
will reverberate in memory as an incident
of the happy occasion last night AS the
large audience stood and sang as one
man, and as the inspiring measures floated
out OF the soft October breezes, many at
a distance on the street corners stopped
to make an inquiry as to the significance
of the occasion and felt touch of en-
thusasm when they were informed that
it was the banquet of sons and daughters
of North Carolina
The North Carolina spirit still abides
The many sons of this State who found
homes in Georgia have not lost their love
for the State of their birth because they
have become pillars in the temple of
progress in their adopted State.

STRIPES FOR PIcKP0 KETS

There was much indignation in Raleigh
growing out of an erroneous report that
the pickpockets arrested for trying to rob
Mr.. n. B. Broughton could not be-held
for trial because there was no money in
the pocket in WHICH the pickpocket had
thrust his hand. 1t was seriously contend
ed that the fellow had committed no
crime. Magistrate Separk was not guided
bound the fellow over to court. Scores of
people were robbed last week at the Fair
by pickpoekets. The authorities were for,
tunate to capture one of the gentry.
There is no doubt OF his guilt. He should
be made an example of and put in stripes.

was entirely different from the one now
before the court. The former case was
simply one 10 compel ministerial officers
TO perform duties OF them. Gen. Wilson
said II there was no election on Nov. 3
the records showed there had been an
election since and a party other than the
petitioner had been chosen. Your honors,
said General Wilson, "can make no order
that will seat this man. The granting
OF this petition would only cause confu-
sion"
Mr.. Gardner began a very able argu-
ment I'm a happy manner saying that ow-
ing to limitations made 10 him that the
court was against him IL seemed he was
I'm the position Of the Roman gladiators
and would say Caesar we who are about
to die salute thee.
Judge Douglas said that the intimation
given simply had to with the granting
of a writ OF mandamus not with the con-
stitutional question involved.
Mr.. Gardner continuing said that IL was
admitted that such n ballot as the one
here In dispute was a legal one under two
decisions OF the court. I'VE do not ask
this court 10 declare the petitioner elect
ed or to give him his seat declared Mr..
Gardner. The certificate we ask for would
not entitle petitioner TO his seat In the
house OF representatives for the court has
already held that such certificate Is
not absolute proof of an election, but IL
only evidence thereof II was only asked
that the moderator count the ballot In
dispute and then do what must naturally
follow"
Nr. Gardner said he admitted that the
house OF representatives in dealing with
the seating OF a member might disregard
every statute. every statement OF facts
and every decision of the court. They
might disregard the doings OF the e1ec-
tion Of officers simply because those Of
hcers had done what the court told them
to do.
Judge Tilinghast questioned as TO the
advisability OF the court taking action
when such action would avail nothing
Mr. Gardner thought In cases such as
this the court should act and should see
that the law was enforced. The case
OF state Va. town council OF South
Klngstown Mr. Gardner thought was on
all fours with the present case.
Next counsel went over that case very
and also cited laws in re-
gard TO elections that the court was
bound TO carry out. He urged the i'm
portance OF the case to the bar and TO
the people of the state.
