the agreement of both Federal Judge

to refer the case at issue to the Su-

Some of the creditors of the COM

V. Davis. Other creditors applled to
the Federal court for an order in vol
untary bankruptcy and Judge Emory
Speer named L. S. Marshal White as
receiver. Judge Charlton refused to

cited Davis for contempt.

Charlton that he would agree to order
Receiver Davis to hold in tact all the

question of jurisdiction and that the
citation of contempt would be re-
called.
Judge Charlton agreed to the pro-

ty Intellectually, and my sense of the
invaluable services he rendered to his
native State. that I fear an honest ex-
preston of them would be regarded
more as the enthusiastic tribute Of a
surviving friend than as the just and
impartial estimate of a disinterested
observer.
In 1892 I was honored by an invf-
taton from the University of North

to see quotations from that address by
others who have since paid tribvte to

that the language used by me was a
temperate expression of the simple
truth in regard to Colonel Saunders,

boyhood to the day of his death. The

did, and that therefore,, if any North
Carolinian ever deserved to be re-

owes it to herself, now that she has
at last begun to erect memorials to
her faithful and distinguished sons. to
place either a statue of this man in
