The Dayton Trial.

Dayton, Tenn. will for some days
to come be one OF the most interesting
towns in the United States. For there
will center the legal proceedings which
grew out of what is charged as the VIC.
lation OF State statute prohibiting
the teaching Of evolution in any insti.
tuition OF public instruction. One of
the teachers in that city of $500 in.
ha abitants deliberately stepped over the
statutory line in order to test the law.
He is TO be tried there during this
coming week. Eminent counsel have
been engaged in his defense and for
his prosecution. The Dayton trial will
be one OF the notable legal forensic
battles in history.
Thus suddenly brought into promi-
nence, the little city is now suffering
from notoriety and prominence in the

Although he has been keen horse
man all of his life, and a factor on
the American turf during the past
several years, Rear Admiral Cary
Grayson has just witnessed his first
Kentucky Derby. He had been trying
to get to the Derby for decade and
half, but always something inter
vened to prevent. The physician to
the late President Wilson has not as
yet had one of his own horses in the
Kentucky classic. but there are dark
intimations from the stable connec-
tions that he may have a contender
next year.
Jockey Bruening, who rode the ia
vorite, Quatrain, in the Derby. is un-
der contract to Admiral Grayson. One
provision Of the contract requires the
admiral Ito feed and clothe" the boy.
That was all very well a few years
ago. but the jockey is getting new
IDEAS every day and Cary opines that
from the size of some of the bills he
has had to meet lately. Bruening has
ambitions to become the Beau Brum-
mel OF the American turf.
However, that is as nothing com

admiral and Mrs. Grayson weighed
the situation and decided that even
with the domestic menagerie they
would have to have the man. In due

King Refused Both Requests.


King Refused Both Requests.
That amiable monarch sent them
right back with a most emphatic re
lection. His reply was TO the point
You shall not have the charter
neither shall your petition in regard
to the marriage of your children be
allowed" it read.
The rage of these good people knew
no bounds, The King had uncere
moniously spat in their faces. Follow
ed the War of the Regulators in 177l
and the battle of Alamance was
fought. after which a number of peo
pie were hanged and whole compa nies
made to swear their allegiance to the
King. The Revolutionary War began
in April. l775. The Boston port bill
was passed and the sympathies of the
| colonies were aroused in favor Of Bos
ton. On May l9 the County of Meek
lenburg sent delegates into conference
at Charlotte to raise money for Ros
toms aid, and while this assembly
was in session in rode a messenger
from Massachusetts telling Of the bat
ties and murder of citizens at Con
cord and Lexington. The effect ac
cofdinG To eYewitnesses, was elec
trical.
The Mecklenburg Declarat ton of In
dependence followed, containing five
resolutions. These resolutions de
! clared the sovereignty of their rights
and that any one who invaded them
as the English Parliament had done
was an enemy. They dissolved thei,
political bonds with England and re
| nounced allegiance TO the British
crown. They declared themselves free
and independent and provided for civil
and military authorities. Then they
| forwarded these resolutions to the
| Continental Congress. sitting at Phila
delphia. The North Carolina Legis
lature in 1881 declared May 20 lega
| holiday in honor of this declaration.
Authenticity Doubted.
Some doubt exists. however, as tc
the authenticity of this document. II
is claimed that the date was May 81
and not May 20, and that the reso
lutions now observed were written
from memory. the originals having
been destroyed by fire in 1900.
1t remains an established fact
though. that these hardy Scotch OF
Mecklenburg County flung their de
fiance at George III in a declarat tion
of no uncertain terms and greatly
served to fire the rest of the colonies
with enthusiasm. They formed a de-
termined contingent in the Cont
mental Army of Washington and thor
oughly revenged themselves upon the
British King.
Congress appropriated SIS, 900 fol

through May %. 1t also provided TO,

But the Mecklenburgers, true tc
the characteristics of their hardy an
cestors. who bearded the King of Eng
land. believed that the presence of the
President himself was essential. Hence
