NORTH CAROLINA
AGAINST CANADA

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 24.-"I am not
going to try North Cardinals honor
and integrity before any judge in any
foreign country" declared Gov. Cam
eron Morrison today, commenting on
his refusal to accept the suggestion
from Henry p. Fletcher, acting secre-
tary of state, that North Carolina
be represented by counsel at Hamil-
ton, Ont, and present oral testimony
in order to convince Judge Snider
that Matthew Bullock, wanted in
Norlina, N. c., for attempted muir
der and melting riot, should, be ex-
tradited.
"The most disgusting spectacle of
legal procedure 1 ever saw was when
the great state of New York sent its
attorneys and most of the witnesses
over into Canada to convince the au-
thorities there that it should have the
custody of Harry Thaw, a man who
had violated it's laws" declared the
governor.
"I'm going to deal with Canada
through the office of the secretary of
state in the usual way. If there is
anything wrong with the forms of
papers presented, the state of North
Carolina will correct them. The
state Of North Carolina has no busi-
ness dealing directly with the gov
ernment of Canada. That is regu-
lofo h,, nfxy lot
United States. The state of North
Carolina is depending upon the fed
eral government through it's repre-
sentatives and diplomatic agencies
to return this criminal to the state
for trial.
North Carolina is not on trial and
the integrity of it's courts is not to
be passed upon by any Canadian ju-
dicial officer. Why, North Carolina
right now is doing more for the i'm
provement of the negro, morally and
educationally, than any state in the
union"
The telegram from Acting Secre
tary Fletcher suggested that the state
Of North Carolina be represented In
Canada by counsel and that oral tes,
timony be given to sustain the con-
tention that Bullock should be
brought back there to stand trial
Answering it, the governor fatty de-
clined to accept the suggestion, de.
claring: "If the treaty relations with
Canada are not such as to guarantee
the return to this country of desper,
ate criminals like Bullock without the
states of this union being. subjected
to the humiliation Of having to ap.
pear before some Judge in petty
judicial proceeding in Canada it is
certainly a distressing situation"

Two Close Games

Luck broke against the Golden
Eagles" in the last two games played
on our home grounds. 1t seems CO.
incidence that we lost both of these
games by close score Of 16 to 10.
In the game against Six Mile Baptist
Academy, our boys showed up fine
even though we did get beat. In this
game the wind was blowing during
the first half, in such way that it
caused loss of many scores for Un-
ion.
In the game with Jonesville the
Golden Eagles" were not at their
best. Berry and Gibson seemed to
have lost their old pep. Fades made
two long shots that found the basket.

played good game but seemed to be

unhappy adventures OF Maxi Is al
most a curiosity OF literature in its
singular contrasts. They are not
always artisticalIy pleasing, but they
are quite out OF the ordinary. We
are told that the writer is a Calcutta
journalist, and hence familiar with
the life he Is describing-at least
from the outside. In that part of
his work he is a realist of no small
capacity. His scenery is highly coll
ored. but one must accept il as ap-
parently accurate. 1t is. no doubt,
