hood, he was under republican en-
viroments. In 1890, and before he
was 81 years Of age, he joined his
father in a local political fight and
went to Raleigh as a delegate to a
republican state convention. He re-
turned home and shortly thereafter in
formed his father that he could not
be republican,; that if the republic
can party ever got in power in North
Carolina they would ruin the state
The elder Morrison -wasrat that time
postmaster at Rockingham, and Cam
was working with him in the post
office for his board and clothes. He
was at the same time studying law
and was about ready to go to law
school. He had hoped that his faith
err would help him, but Cams change
of politics, of which he had notified
his father, caused temporary, but
bitter breach between them. Upon his
fathers declining to do anything for
him, he left the postoffice and secured
position as teacher in public
school, and made sufficient money to
attend the law school of Judge Dick
in Greensboro. He studied law under
Judge Dick for twelve months. A
few months after Cam was 81 years
of age, he publicly announced that
he was a democrat. This was before
he obtained his license to practice law.
Young Morrison was licensed to
practice law in February 1897 and M
mediately opened an office in Rocking
ham. His knowledge of the law, COM
bined with unusual abilities as an ad-
yocate, quickly obtained for him high
rank at the bar. These qualities were
supplemented by literary attainments
! that were surprise to those who did
not know him intimately. These were
the results of wide reading that had
been carried on privately by young
Morrison through the years of strug-
gle.
The bar at that time in Richmond
county was an unusually able one,
composed of Major John d. Shaw,
Hon. James T. LeGrand, Franklin Nc
Neill, the younger Shaws, Judge Wal
ter H. Neal, T. c. Guthrie and
others.
Morrison was not only powerful
advocate and q trial lawyer without
superior in his county, but his gen.
eral ability was such that his services
were sought by the larger business
interests Of his county, by many Of
which he was reained as general
counsel.
Morrison's natural love for the pub
lie service manifested itself early. In
the spring of 1892, in the democratic
convention, he made his first demo-
cratic speech. This speech was made
under dramatic circumstances. The
whole county knew the struggle Cam
was having on account of his fathers
resentment at his course. He COM
menced his speech by quotation
from Demosthenes: "Man is born not
unto his parents alone, but unto God
and his country as WELL" Richmond
county was at that time overwhelm-
ingly republican. In the campaign
which followed, young Morrison can
vassed the county. His speeches mark
ed him as young political leader Of
great ability.
The campaigns Of 1892 an 1894
have been largely forgotten, but they
were bitter and dangerous struggles

At the same time he was leading

went from time to time to other coun-

Hamilton. at the request of congress. made some modi fications in the law. but the opposi- tion did not subside and rioting and other violent acts continued until President Washington, by proclama . tion, ordered the disturbers to yield to the law. This had only a temporary effect and in 1794 violence broke out again and a mixed commission at tempted to settle the difficulties. This also was fruitIess, and late in that year Washington. with patience exhausted and 2 determination, aroused. ordered HOOD militiamen under General Henry Lee =of Virginia. The leaders fled at the Approach of the troops. which took several hundred prisoners. of whom two were convicted of treason. but pardoned.

 Frye hundred troops remained in the disturbed region through the winter, the disturbances died away and the law went into operation.
 Hstorians have given to the incl dent a greater meaning than the mere successful quelling of an incipient re- bellion against federal taxation of the liquor traffic. They have recorded it as one of the most significant of Wash instons' acts which had a profound ef- feet in strengthening the new and weak government. not only at home but in demonstrating to all Europe, which was watching the American ex- pertinent with little sympathy. that the newly created union was prepared and determined to preserve itself and en- force its constitutional laws.

ENLISTED MEN FROM

PA guard detail today, in attempting to arrest an alleged ringleader in the disturbance at the Red Cross building yesterday 21, when actors composing vaude- villez troupe. struck" and refused to give "a performance after enlisted men had been removed from seats to make rooms efor officers met opposition from enlisted men and disturbance arose. HauSe of the First infantry. speaking for Major Cowles, commanding off cers.z as 'an incipient riot" More guards were ordered out and a num- confinement according to a statement issued by Captain Hause.
 Two score enlisted men met the guard when attempt was made to ar rest fhe alleged leader of the disturb ances and declared he could not be re- moved from the ward. Quiet was re- stored following the confinement of the spokesmen.
 Captain Hause, in explaining the af- fair of Saturday night, said that all Red Cross entertainments were under Major York. director. and that army officers have no hand whatever in seating arrangements. Major York, he said. asked the enlisted men who occupied seats reserved for nurses and officers to vacate the seats. as was customary, and they refused. Major York then. Captain Hause, called out the guard and had the men removed. The actors witnessed the removal of the rneI and refused to go on with the performance.
 Captain Hause said that because the majority of the soldiers at the hospital are patients, officers cannot enforce the same rules of discipline which pre- vail at army posts. This fact. he con- tinued, opens the way for "a few men with sa spirit of hoodlumism to start agitation over almost anything" He said that the recalcitrant enlisted men did not represent the majority of the soldiers at the hospital.

Coldwater was washed out the day be- fore yesterday, and yesterday six more spans in the center, or 195 feet, of the state highway bridge was washed out. These, added to the seven spans lost at the Thanksgiving flood, leaves but 25 spans to the bridge. The Agua F'ria has also changed its course, go- ing from the west to the east.
 Train Service Resumed
 The highway bridge over the Agua F'ria was built in 1916. and the sum mer of that year the river changed it's struction. In 1917 reflectors were in stalled in the stream to turn it under the bridge. These succeeded in chang ing the course, but the bridge founda- tion was not deep enough to stand the flood, and last November spans were washed out The failure of six more spans yesterday was generally re- garded as indicating that even the 25 remaining spans may be worthless, which would mean an estimated loss of more than $140.000.
 The first trains from the north in 36 hours reached Phoenix early last night. after having been delayed by the wash out of the trestle over Date creek, near Wickenburg. Shortly after this trestle was repaired yesterday and the two trains allowed to proceed to Phoe- nix, the trestle over Granite creek, IOTl0 OI FTeSCOtt, WdS WdSDeu OQts cutting off trains from the east. A special train was made up at Pres colt and brought passengers to Phoe- nix last night.
 Train service to the coast is now normal, and it is expected that the Granite Reef trestle will be repaired today, allowing the resumption of nor- mai service from the east.

 At a late hour all the canals in the valley were reported unharmed and in no danger. by the Water Users asso- ciation. The officers of the assocla- ton were kept open all night.s
 With the Tempe and Central avenue bridges closed to traffic. the city was virtually cut off from the south side yesterday. though communication with Tempe and Mesa was kept up during the day by having persons walk across the bridge from one machine to an other. Last night this communication, too, was cut off
 Thousands of People See River
 Thousands of persons, appearing seemingly from everywhere, visited the two bridges throughout the day yes terday. and both the Tempe road and South Center street were thronged with scores of motor cars. The people went, looked. and returned home, the river in flood proving an attraction that none could resist.
 While ranchers near the river banks near Phoenix prepared to move their livestock and the like if necessary, the flood occasioned little apprehension yesterday. as, except along the banks. there was little chance of the waters reaching anything. Riverside Park, on South Center street, WAS flooded com pletely for the second time this winter, and yesterday presented a view Of waste of water.
