co-receiver-the famous Mr.. McBee VINO acquired
such unsavory notoriety byzhis midnight appoint
ment as chief receiver a few weeks before. In the
second act of the comedy, Chief Justice Fuller, OF
the United States Supreme Court appeared ana
rescinded the order appointing a receiver, restor-
ing the road to the management of the State until
the appeal can be heard by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. Thirdly, we find Re
ceiyers Meares and McBee unceremoniously GUST
ed from Office the day after installation, being
threatened with attack by the entire State militia
on their showing a disposition to question the
technical accuracy of Judge Fuller's- order. And
again the road is in control of President Bryan
and his co-laborers-and will so remain until the
appeal can be heard some weeks hence.
Meanwhile the road may be leased. 1t we are
to choose between a lease and control by receivers
appointed by Federal judges, we should not be
slow in deciding. If we are to choose between a
lease and State control with the abuses hitherto
prevailing, we should also decide on a lease. 1t IS
our opinion, however, that with It's management
brought into the glare of public criticism as 1t
now is, State control would be much more credlta-
bic in the future than heretofore.

THE A. & M. COLLEGE AGRICULTURAL BUILD
ING AT LAST IN SIGHT.

Work on the long-expected Agricultural Build
ing at the A. & M. College is at last about to be-
gin. The State Board of Agriculture at it's meet
ing last week decided on the plans for the new
building, and appointed a committee consisting
of Commissioner S. L. Patterson and Trustees G,
N. Allen, r. W. Scott, A. T. McCallum, and VIM.
Dunn, to proceed with its construction. It is
hoped that the cornerstone may be laid at the
Farmers Convention here in July.
A picture of the building as it will appear when
completed is now on exhibition in the Office of the
State Agricultural Department in Raleigh, and we
hope to get a cut of it for use in an early issue of
The Progressive Farmer. "The elevation of the
plan" says the architect, "shows a beautiful strnc-
ture of more than two hundred feet in length
and some sixty feet in depth. The style of archi-
lecture is Italian Renaissance. The cen+ra1 -
ton OF the building shows a portico with three
sweeping arches as an entrance, four massive col
umns supporting the handsome pediment The
roof is in red tile, and the outside brick of q oro0

Judge PEBBLES on Trial Before the People.

Then the excitement became intense, not only
on account of the unusual conduct of the judge,
but because of the prominence of Kerr, Carroll
and Southerland-the first named being for years
a leading lawyer and Democratic politician of
Sampson County, and the other two men being
also well known there. Application for habeas
corpus proceedings was made to Judges Connor,
Walker and Douglas of the Supreme Court, and
on Thursday and Friday the case was heard and
the men released from the sentence imposed by
Judge PEBBLES. The court found that he had not
acted in a legal manner, and also reported that
he had no authority to try the Lumberton law
yers for contempt. Immediately after this deci-
sion, Judge PEBBLES formally dimissed the case,
and the attorneys signed a statement that they
had not intended to reflect on the judge or bring

proceedings against the lawyers. But it is really
Judge PEBBLES who has been on trial, and the
charges against him being far too serious to be
dismissed in this fashion, it looks as if the next
Legislature will be called on to make an official
investigation of his conduct. With conditions as
they are, his usefulness as a judge is ended. 1t is

EDITORIAL


But for our leaving the Office Saturday after
noon before the paper went to press Monday, last
weeks Progressive Farmer would have noted the
beginning of two great sensations-Judge PEBBLES
sentence of Messrs. Kerr, Carroll and Sutherland
fol-, swearing he had been drunk, and Judge Pur-
nelPs appointment of Thomas D. Meares as per-
manent receiver of the Atlantic & North Carolina
Railway. These acts merely opened the way for
further developments, and sensation followed SEN
sation in quick succession, making North Caro-
Gna's record last week one of the most dizzy and
exciting of recent years.

One Reason for Congratulation.

Yet all this ugly muddle is not without some &C.
casion for congratulation. 1t indicates that
though one political party seems to have entered
on a long lease of power in this State, we are at
least to have vigorous criticism of public officials
and an earnest reckoning with those whom the
people regard as unworthy. And this is no small
matter. Too often when one party is long in
the ascendency, it becomes corrupt, the people be-
come Indifferent, and political purity ends. Let
the people of North Carolina maintain the same
alert scrutiny of their public servants which we
now find obtaining, and no such fate will overtake
our Commonwealth.

Most of our readers are undoubtedly familiar
with the progress of the PEBBLES case. About six
weeks ago, the Lumberton bar met to consider
making up a docket for the approaching term of
Robson Court to be presided over by Judge Rob
ert B. PEBBLES of Northampton. The lawyers de-
cided to make no docket but continue all cases to
the following term of court to be held by another
Judge. And as the reason of their action, the at
torneys gave the FREQUENT reports of discourtesy,
partiality, ETC., on the part of judge PEBBLES,
notably in the trial of Ernest Haywood in Raleigh
last summer. Judge PEBBLES then announced that
he would proceed against the offending lawyers
on the charge of contempt, and summoned them
before him in Fayetteville, from which place the
trial was later moved to Lumberton. The Judge
then demanded that the lawyers prove their con-
tention as to his unfavorable reputation and they
=rcspoQded with the criticisms of sixty papers as
to his conduct in the Haywood case, and with a
great number of affdavits alleging partiality,
rudeness, drunkenness, and lack of judicial tenn
permanent. The Judge then filed afidavits in re-
buttal, and the crisis was on-with the appear
ances for some time indicating that he would try
the case himself, though his own reputation was
clearly more at stake than that of any of the law
yers involved. He finally agreed, however, to
transfer the case to Judge Brown to be heard
June 18th, as reported in last weeks Progressive
Farmer, but before doing this he set out to elini-
nate the afidavits of Messrs. Kerr, Carroll and
Switzerland, charging him with gross intoxica-
ton. Declaring that they had brought in irrele-
want matter and were therefore guilty of con-
tempt, and that other affdavits proved their
charges false, he straightway sentenced each to
thirty days Imprisonment and a 800 fine. The
attorneys for the Lumberton bar finally forced
him to admit that he had made the matter rele-
want and had demanded the fling of the affdavits,
but he refused to change the sentences.

Judge Purnell and EDITOR Daniels.

The Daniels-Purnell incident attracted no less
attention than did the PEBBLES incident during
the week. On Saturday Judge Thomas r. Pur-
nell, of the Federal Court, had decided that the
evidences of mismanagement reported by the COM
mittee to investigate the A. & n. @. Railway Justl-
fed him in appointing a permanent receiver, as
urged by stockholders Cuyler and Finch, but said
that the State might lease the road without being
in contempt of court, if the lease were first sub
mitted to him. Sunday Editor Daniels of the
News and Observer criticized this action, saying
the State would manage the railway without con-
sulting any Federal Judge. Monday Judge, Pur-
nell cited Mr.. Daniels to appear before him and
show cause why he should not be fined for con-
empt. Tuesday the trial was held, the lawyers
for the respondent protesting that the judge had
no authority to punish an editor for contempt and
that no such proceedings had been instituted by a
Federal judge for seventy years. Daniels was
pronounced guilty, however, and a fine of 1000
imposed, which Daniels refused to pay. Wednes-
day application for a writ of habeas corpus was
made to Chief Justice Fuller, but referred by him
to Hon. Jeter @. Pritchard, who was to qualify as
Judge Simonton's successor the following day.
Thursday the writ was granted. Friday the trial
was held, and Daniels freed, Judge Pritchard
deciding that Judge PurneI had exceeded his au-
thority. +
This is the story in brief. We are glad that
Mr.. Daniels stood firm and ascertained just what
are the rights of the press in the matter of criti-
cising judges. But we saw no occasion for his
posing as a martyr and making a play to the
grand stand. And while decent criticism is al
ways in order, the public should protest against
| persistent nagging of any official, and especially
of judges. On the other hand, a Judge who i'm
poses punishment when it is not deserved is start
ing a boomerang of the most terrific sort. Each
of these criticisms, we think, is applicable to this
case.
