To hold for four years unless sooner re-
moved.
The provisions of the Audit Act
flaws of 1898, Act 800 relating to the
suspension of the Auditor were repeal
ed by implication by the provisions or
Section 80 of the Organic Act, Whlch
are not only inconsistent Herewith but
indicate AN intention to cover the whole
subject.
The foregoing is the syllabus of
unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court. written by Chief Justice Frear,
on the appeal of former Auditor Her
bert c. Austin from the refusal of the
present Auditor to issue a warrant for
the salary of the appellant for the
period of his suspension by Governor
Dole for certain specified causes, from
September %, 1902, to December l, 1902
when he was removed from office by
the Governor by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate.
1t will be remembered that Judge
Gear decided similarly and granted
writ of mandamus to compel the Attor-
ney-General. the High Sheriff and the
Deputy Auditor to cease their forcible
resistance to Auditor Austin's attempts
to enter the Auditors office premises.
The writ became imperative by reason
of the removal of the Auditor as al
ready stated before it could be enforc-
ed, owing to an appeal being taken
from Judge Gear. The order of the Su-
preme Court in the end of it's decision
is this:
The appeal is sustained and the Audi
tor is directed to issue warrant or
warrants to the appellant for his sala-
~ as Auditor from and including Sep
TENDER %, 1902, to and including
November 80, 1902.

How John Barrett Won His First
Diplomatic Success.


John Barrett, who has just been ap-
pointed United States minister to the
Argentine Republic for the past year
and u half has been commissioner gen
eral for the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition in Asia and Australia during
which time he has Travelled $4,000 miles
and interviewed fifteen kings and en-

Mr.. Barrett is native Of Vermont,
but for many years has been a resi-
dent of Oregon. He is a graduate of
Dartmouth college and when only
twentyseven years old was appointed
minister to Siam by President Cleve-
land. The first important task that
confronted the youthful envoy was to
present a claim for $25O,OOO against
the government of Siam. He was
warned by experienced diplomats
against using threats in pressing the
claim. BE cunning, avoid arrogance
they urged.
THAT is" responded Mr.. Barrett.

pricking with bayonet."
The statesmen nodded assent.
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
diplomats asked in establishment, How
did you accomplish it,"
"By tickling explained Barrett. 81
had to tickle them almost to death,
though, before they agreed to pay"
Subsequently he travelled extensively

The Christian Sabbath.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
To commemorate the deeds and liv&
of those who laid down their lives for the
Southern homes and to keep their graves
green, is a duty we willingly and lovingly
perform We are satisfied with our record
and cherish the valor and noble deeds of
our soldiers. But my heart was saddened
on last Sabbath to see a"special train"
pass my home for the reunion at New
Orleans with patriotic banners telling of
North Cardinals deeds. Upon one coach
printed in large letters was Carolina,
Carolina Heavens Blessings Attend Her."
Can we reasonably expect Gods blessings
to attend her. when His Sabbath is ig-
nored in open violation of His Holy law?
For He says in the 26th chapter of Lee
viticus how his Sabbath should be OBJ
served, for instance. ''Ye shall keep my
sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary; for
am the Lord. If We walk in my
statutes and keep my commandments and
do them. then l will give rain in due season
and the land shall yield her increase, and
the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
And I will walk among you and will be
your God and We shall be my people. But
if we will not harken upon me, and viii
not do all these commandments; and If
We shall despise my statutes, or if your
soul abhor my judgments so that We will
not do all my commandments, but that We
break my covenant. And I viii break the
pride of your power, and viii make your
heaven as iron and your earth as brass.
And your strength shall be spent in vain;
for your land shall not yield her increase,
neither shall the trees of the land yield
their fruit And l will make your cities
waste and bring your sanctuaries into
desolation." Again 1.-The Christian Sab
bath is recognized in the Constitution of
the United States by the laws Of the.
several States, by our National and State
Legislatures whenever they adjourn from
Saturday till Monday, by all the civic
courts of the land, from the highest to
the lowest, none of which are in session
on that day, and by the common law Of
the land. 1t is interviewer into the very
structure of our society: so that every
mans civic rights demand for him the
privilege of weekly Sabbath of rest and
worship. This being true it is said, hui
initiating to those who love God, love and
honor His Sabbath, to see such open vio-
lation of His righteous law, especially when
it is done by those representing that great
cause, true to every North Carolinian,
and when in doing so, are exerting such
a baneful influence upon the sacred OBJ
servance of the Sabbath in this our be
loved State and throughout our country.
Alas, how little genuine gratitude is SHOWN
to God, for all His mercies, personal, tenn
poral and spiritual
