Judge George w. Ward sitting in
Wake county superior court called the
attention Of the Raleigh bar to the fact
that a spirit of indifference seemed to
pervade the affairs of the court after
having requested the sheriff to assem-
BILE such lawyers in the court room.
His honor stated that he had called
them together to tell them the court
must not be trifed with and wha cases
were ready must be tried. For varl-
Gus reasons many of the lawyers were
busy and could not answer the judges
request. The attorneys wer embar-
rassed by a rebuke so administered,
but an explanation was offered to the
effect that there had been a misun-
derstanding as to the setting of the
calendar. Judge Ward had expected
to hold a two weeks term of this court
but the indications are, from the
slimness of the calendar, that ad-
journment will be taken by the mid
die Of next week.

ANOTHER RAILROAD
To be Built From LumbertOn-An In
dependent Line to ST. Pauls.

Their was quite a number of the
business men of Lumberton present at
the meeting of the board of trade
Thursday evening when tie proposed
railroad from here to st. Pauls and the
effort necessary to get it were dis
cussed No definite action with refer
ence to the proposition was taken at
the meeting, but it was referred to a
committee composed Of Colonel n. A.
Mclean, Sheriff G.. B. Mcleod and S.
Mcintyre The committee will have
conference with Captain T. c. Nc
Neely, one of the promoters, and re-
port to a subsequent meeting of the
board of trade.
Mr.. Mcleod said that none of the
big companies would build into the
backyard" of another company and
if we are to have a railroad from the
north it must be an independent line.
Those interested in the movement pro-
pose to build the road il the people of
Lumberton will subscribe $1,000 for
every mile Of the road built. 1t is
thought that if the road is built from
here to ST. Pauls there will be an Op-
portunity for the road to connect with
some other line there and give us an
outlet on the north to Fayetteville and
perhaps other towns.

FRANCO VATICAN STRUGGLE
Pope Holds Secret Consistory to Gre
ate 10 French Bishops-Much Al
fected While Delivering an Allocu-
ton.

Rome, February 21.-The pope held
a secret consistory today, chiefly to
create nineteen French bishops in the
dioceses vacant through the Franco
Vatican struggle. The whole ceremony
was in line with the Vatican's attitude
towards France. The pontiff delivered
an allocution summarizing the ideas
set forth in his recent encyclical,
showing necessity hastened its appear
ance, "as certain publications may
have deceived the faithful regarding
the real intentions and feelings of the
Holy See Evidently alluding to the
pastoral letter of Mgr. B >nomell, arch
bishop of Virana, who advocs Led the
principle of the separation of church
and state.
The pope was much affected while
delivering his allocution He said he
was compelled to accomplish a painful
duty of his Office, and summarized his
recent encyclical, saying that the law
providing for the separation of church
and state in France was contrary to
divine right and contrary to the well
fare of society which must live in
peace with religion. The concordat,
he added, was broken in an unworthy
manner and> it would be difficult 10
form another. The pontiff solemnly
condemned the separation law as be-
ing as injurious to the church as the
law established to control the exercise
of the public worship, which was not
recognized by the pope and the bish-
ops.
This. however, said the pope in con-
clusion, would not prejudice the inai-
ienable rights of the church. He ex-
pressed the hope that better times
would come.

General Lee Responsible for Dull Uni-
forms.

|
General Robert f. Lee was the first
man who discovered that all armies
were improperly uniformed" observed
a well-known army officer, 'and he
was so stdongly convinced that he was
right that he abolished the blue uni
forms worn by the cadets at West
Point, and substituted gray. which has
been worn ever since in its place. Cen
ieral Lee was in command OF the mill
ltary academy at West Point some
years before the civil war, and it was
here he put his ideas and reform into
Operation. He was, according to the
records the first officer in any army
who favored iuconspicuous uniform.
His idea has been universally
adopted by all the armies of the world,
and today 1t would be n violation Of
|all rules for a soldier in campaign 10
have anything about him, even To n
button on his clothing, which has
even the slightest polish, or even sus-
!ceptble of polish. For play soldiers
and dress parades fancy colors, polish
and glisten will do wei lenough. but
for campaigns it is a thing of the past
Had the armies of Europe discovered
this years before they did their lists OF
killed and wounded would have been
considerable less than what they were.
"Nine-tenths OF the people of the
north and the south think gray had
some connection with the south on It's
own account never dreamed that gray
was first worn in the north by the ca
dets of West Point, where ii Is still
used as a dress uniform, and by the
leading military organizations OF the
north, notably in New York and Bos-
