and If the Judge finds any pleasure in
the bars answer, or in seeing it printed
in the Supreme Court Reports, we shall
be surprised.
In all candor, We believe Judge PEBBLES
should drop the case and demand an in
vestlgauon of his official conduct at the
hands OF some competent tribunal. Or, if
he fears the result of an investigation,
let him resign with the statement thai
circumstances having conspired against
him, he feels it for the best interest OF
all concerned to resign. If the Judge is
simply unfortunate, an investigation

NOT THE FIRST JUDGE BOYCOTTED
Roanoke Chowan Times.

Much has been said in the papers
about the refusal of the lawyers OF Robe
son county to have their cases trled
before Judge PEBBLES. and the contempt
proceedings that are to follow. This is
not the first time a judge has been boy
cotted in this State. During Fusion rule
the Northampton bar refused to make out
the calendar at one or more terms OF
court or rather agreed to postpon9ment
of all cases of any importance. But in
Northampton the judge was treated with
all the courtesy due his high office and
he went away, doubtless, with pleasant
recollections of his visit here. Our law
yers did not think him competent. In
the Robson county case great publicity
was given the matter and the action will
doubtless have an injurious effect on
Judge PEBBLES in other counties ii no
further action is taken in the premises.
We do not know what Judge PEBBLES In
tends to do, but his worst enemy Will
agree that he is a man OF undoutted
courage.

Just about the last resort for the CON
spiracy defenders to take refuge IN is the
fact that the investigation committee mas
decided to give nothing to the press until
it has finished the investigation and made
it's conclusion. 1t is just about time these
attacks on character should cease. me
name of Henry A. Page alone is sufficient
guarantee that there is to be no white
washing of anything. And the commit
tee has acted most wisely in postponing
its report until it is finished. In such ln-
vestigations the facts one day are often
explained bv the facts developed the next:
And it looks like the acknowledgment OF
agement of the road, that the attempt is
made thus early to discredit the commit
tee because it has kept it's own counsel
and has not invited the reporters to hear
| all its deliberations.
