WITNESS A LITTLE MIXED.
Lawyer Meant the Horse, But He
Thought the Lady Was the
Leading Subject.

They were trying horse case" in

says London Tit-Bits. He asked:
"Have you ever driven her?"'

"Was there anyone with you at the
time?'
There was lady with me-" the

"Was she good driver?"-the law

witness understanding that he meant
the lady.
"She was" he replied.
"Was she gentle and kind?" asked
the legal limb;and the reply was in the
affirmative, though the witness, still
thinking of the lady, looked a little
surprised.
"She didn't kick?" was the next in

''She didn't rear up, or kick over the
traces, or put her hind feet through the
dashboard, or try to run away, or act

Gift Enterprise Concern
or Advertising Agency?
IN SUPREME COURT
Another Case From Winston to be Ar.
gued TodaY-.A Bigamy Case From
Rockingham Involving the
absence Question:
It'll Dist. Appeals.

Is the Green Trading Stamp Company
an advertising agency?
That's the question that will be argued
tolay in the Supreme Court, and il comes
IRON Winston, whence not SO very long
ago came another trading stamp dispute.
That was when Winston wanted to adopt
an ordinance taxing the trading stamp
concern $4,000 to do business in the o:tv.
IL was decided that such a lax was IN
lawful because it was prohibitory OF
legitimate business, and it was shown
that the trading stamp traffic was legit-
innate one.
But now it is different. Winston has
an ordinance requiring gift enterprise
concerns to pay license tax of $50, and
another ordinance requiring advertising
agents to pay SO license tax. The city
Gains that the Trading Stamp Company
Is a gift enterprise concern, while the lat
ter contends that it is simply an advertis-
ing agency, and therefore come under the
so tax and not the $50 tax.
The appeal will be argued by the Attor-
ney General for the State, Messrs. Watson
and Buxton for the city OF Winston,
Messrs Glenn, Manly and Hendren Tor the
Trading Stamp Company.
Another appeal from the eleventh dis
trict IS a bigamy case from Rocking nam
county, State VS.. Julius, alias Uriah
Goulden. 1t seems that Goulden, who
lived IN Pittsylvania county, Virginia,
just over the State linz married tw antv-
GIe years ago, lived VIA his wiir three
morths and then drove hrr off Recently
he married another woman IN North Car
olira. He claimed that he had heard his
first wife was dead, but the State had evil
dcnce that about three weeks prior to
his second marriage, Goulden said, when
asked how he could marry with another
wife living: Il wish | could hear she YVES
dead, SO l would be a free man" The
case vas tried at the August term Of
Rockingham Superior Court, before Judge
Mcneil. who charged that the burden
was on the defendant to show that h die
not know~that1 hrs first wife was living
for the seven years prior TO his marriage.
Goulden was sentenced to five years in
the county jail and work on the roads.
He appealed. The question at issue is
whether or not the facts present a case
of absence within the meaning OF the
Code. whether or not the wife had alb
scented herself for seven years before the
second marriage, and the husband did
not know she was living within that time
He testified that after ne drove his wife,
off he came TO North Carolina and lived
ever since that time, first in Virginia
and then in North Carolina, along the
line and that his wife lived about twenty
OF twenty-five miles from the State line
in Virginia.

Wake Forest Nine
10 to 2.

The Cadets did the business in the Sec
ond inning.
1t was one and one when that started,
and soon the military had a man across
the plate and the bases full. Then the
merry go round began to play.
A pretty bunt, a mscalculated fly, a
bunt to first mishandled. a hot ball near
second that failed to cut the runner off
at home, fly in deep left. and a wild
pitch let in five men in rapid succession
and the thing was done.
The final score was 10 to against
Wake Forest, but that was only an acct
dent of the game, for the fireworks were
over when the fatal second inning had
become history. Yelling, of course there
was plenty of it, and the punches and
punches of pretty girls hurting their dear
little throats cheering either for A. and
NJ. or Wake Forest contributed their full
share. Likewise they waved rival colors
vigorously.
Over eight hundred spectators saw the
Wake Forest baseball team go down in
defeat before the A. and NJ. team. The
Cadet nine got together at the beginning
of the game when the six runs in the
second was scored. The visitors were out

hit at will and had ragged support.

good ball. Howle ended the game on n
long run for a fly ball. which robbed
Turner, E, of what looked to be home

ca tches.
Several times Wake Forest had men
on third base, and to keep them from
scoring seemed impossible, but Nc
