near the line and now that a fence
about ten feet in height is being built
on the line they have raised loud
protest.
In his published statement, Mr..
Wright contends that the said COM
pany has no right to erect a fence
even upon his own property to
the detriment of adjacent property.
Mr.. Wright is a lawyer whose opin-
ion is recognized as being thorough
ly legal and many others here share
his views in the matter On the
other hand there are a large number
of people who hold that the Southern
Railway Company has a perfect right
to construct the fence as surveyed
upon it's own land. The whole of
East Spencer is considerably aroused
over the fence question and deSper-
ate effort is being made to deter the
matter of the fine legal points in
Volved.

culated to promote the ends of justice
and avoid even the semblance of perse-
cuton.
This gentleman said that the trou-
bic between Holton and Williams be-
gan when both were young men. Will
liams' fathers estate soon after his
death was sued by Holton for sup
posed defective title, the young Yad-
kin lawyer taking the case on con-
tingent fee, prosecuting it for his
clients vigorously but failing to win
out. He said that in a Justices court,
while the law suit was pending, the
lawyer in his examination of Williams
SO offended him. that it took the aid
of magistrate and bystanders to pre-
vent q fight.
Neither of the men have spoken to
each other in all the long years since.
The immediate cause of the unexpect-
ed assault by Williams two years ago,
out of which has grown the sixty thou
sand dollars damage suit, is related to
have sprung from a speech made by
Mr.. Holton in suit against Williams
in Yadkin court in which the lawyer
speaking to the jury held up and
fiuttered a telegram William had sub
mitted to verify his testimony as to
the value of lot of wheat in contrO-
versy and declared that Williams had
passed off bogus telegram. Williams
was with difficulty restrained from as
saulting the lawyer in the court room
and did assault him in Winston the
very next time he saw him. In addi-
ton to all this, it is said that Williams
has been the special object of gov
ernment espionage for the past eight
years in the conduct of his distillery,
having many times to go before the
| Internal Revenue Commissioner at
Washington to get release on goods
seized on technicalities, or by paying
fines be let off on Charges of alleged
| Irregularities.
one of his greatest causes of COM
| plant was that he accused the district
j attorney of having the postoffice at
! Williams discontinued three years ago.
| The office was canceHing $4,000 in
/ stamps a yearly far the biggest
office in Yadkin county.
Senator Pritchard took an active
! interest in getting the office back, de-
nouncing, it is said the discontinuance
as an outrage in the presence of the
! Postmaster General who had the mat
| ter investigated. restored the office and
it is now the radiating point for sev-
eral rural free mail deliveries.
1t is no wonder then in view of the
| foregoing narrative, the case on hand
today is of more tnan usual impor-
tance and that a desperate battle, a
legal battle to the death will be
fought, should the shock of battle
come in the form OF trial.

The sensational developments and
the unexpected denouement which at
tended the legal contest over the mat
ter last week had only added to the
interest which surrounds these cases
of alleged frauds against the govern
ments internal revenue.
District Attorney Holton has been
in the lime light of public prominence
for over a year by reason of his Wig
orous prosecution and conviction of
prominent distillers all over the dis
trict.
Mr. Williams is alike a much ad-
vertised and prominent parsonage in
North Carolina, made so by the pro-
Cecdings of two Legislatures, and rcso-
lutions of numberlesS prohibition or
CARNATIONS demanding that a general
law be enacted which would abolish
his business or q law which gave him
unusual privileges be repealed. The
result of these legislative proceedings
| are too recent and we'll known to re-
quire more than this reference; since
Nv the Ward bill of the last Legisla-
ture Mr.. Williams, after a monumental
fight, lost out and his business of over
a centuTy's growth and prestige will
be abolished at it's old place of Will
iiams on January 1st of next year
his special privilege law having been
repealed.
Still further contributing to the sem
sational, is the we'll remembered per-
sonal assault made on the district at
ltoTney in Winston, two years ago, when
Williams finding him in a store, pro-
ceeded to administer a severe castlga-
ton. For this assault and battery Will
liams was fined by the trial judge of
the Superior court. although a large
array of prominent lawyers employed
by the district attorney to prosecute
the case, made strong efforts to have
Imprisonment in Jail made a part of
the punishment. Still keeping these
two prominent men prominently be-
fore the public, is suit instituted
in Forsyth court by the district att0r-
ney against Williams for sixty thou
sand dollars damages for the assault.

washington, June 19.-Practically

Of the satisfaction felt at both ST.
Petersburg and Toxic over the selec-

PEACE conference.
Whether tho conference will ac-
tually sit in Washington or not has
not been determined, of course, as
that is a detail which will be left to
the envoys themselves by their re-
spective governments. 1t is said that
no decision will be reached on that

Berlin, June 19.-No adequate view
of the German feeling over the Mo
roccan affair can be presented without
making note of the very general belief
in naval circles that Great Britain IS
seeking an excuse to check the great
progress which is making In the Ger
man sea armament. This belief is
widely expressed among naval officers
of al! classes. 1t is their view that
Great Britain would be willing that
France should suffer defeat on land
if Great Britain thereby was given
chance to destroy the German navy.
AS a result of this feeling there is
great activity in the German navy,
and it has meyer been so alert or so
perfectly ready for defense as now A
plausible explanation for this alarm is
that Admiral Tirpitz has been anxious
to test the preparedness and speed
with which the navy could be placed
upon a war basis, and therefore de-
sired that the officers should feel the
thrill and stimulus of an imminent
action in order to bring out the best
