MONDAY'S CITATION
PROCEEDINGS
Thoso who reed the Loulsvlllo
papers last week saw a number of
sensational reports from Barbour
vlllo concerning a Rule which had
been Jaaued by Circuit Judgo Roso
agalnit County" Judgo Stamper,
Fred Burman, editor of the Moun
tain Advocate( Commonwealth's At
torney J. C. Bird and County Attor
ney P. Ii. yjenters. Among other
things It wrs erroneously reported
that "for tho tlmo.bolng" J. 0. Bird
and P. L. Sentera had been succeed
ed by T, D. Tlnsley and II. H.' Owens
as Coniomnwealth's and County At
torney. This statement, as well as
others In connection with tho affair
was nn error. It Is only fair to W.
S. Hudson, correspondent of these
newspapers to state that he sent the
correct data to tho newspapers but
In the re-wrlto by their employees,
they In the language of tho street,
"got balled up," a fact that has
prorod cmbarasslng to Mr. Hudson,
who Js noted for his spirit of fair
play and good sense.
Tho True Facts "
On Sunday, November 26th, be
fore the Circuit Court convened tho
next day, which was Monday, No
vember 27th, County Judge J. T.
Stamper, upon Invitation, made an
address at the Methodist Church on
law and order. In that address,
among other things, Judgo Stamper
said:
"Justice delayed Is Justice denied.
Circuit Courts aro too far apart
there Is too much on the docket to
try In sixty days. I have been watch
ing tho courts of tho land for a num
ber of years and I have seen men of
influence get into trouble. A num
ber of friends and a big array of
lawyers are present and, if the man
has money, they will try to wear
the- case out.
"A murderer finds friends, money
and resources, but who comes to de
fend the widows and the orphans?
In our own court I saw a poor man
hastened to trial (Justly, I think)
-"aTrif In .tin same court men with in
fluence and idoney got their cases
put off. I aai not criticizing the
Circuit Court. That's their business,
A not mine."
Tho above quotation, and especi
ally that part whooh seemed to re
flect upon the Knox Circuit Court,
Is what aroused tho lro of Judge
Rose and caused the Rule to issuo.
After ordering tho Jlulo to go
against Judge Stamper and Fred
Burman, Judgo Roso demanded of
the Commonwealth's and County
Attorneys that thoy consider the
nfiwsnaner article as an Indictment
against them and to fllo a response
thereto, and set the hearing for
Friday morning, December 15th. On
Friday morning all four of tho gen
tlemen against whom the Rule Is
sued filed verified written responses.
The responses of the Common
wealth's and County Attorneys were
very short and to the effect that
they had never, in the management
of any case for the Commonwealth,
been Influenced by any corrupt mo
tive. County Judge Stamper also filed his

In the Spirit of Christmas
CHRISTMAS DAY brings us the consciousness that
whatever our personal animosities may be, what
ever the strife between nations merely neigh
borhood quarrels greatly magnified there is this sub
lime occasion devoted to peace and good will. Its spirit
is the lamp which lights to higher life; its influence largely
supports civilization and prevents a lapse into barbarity.
Christmas spirit means Christian spirit. In testing its
effect, one has only to reflect upon the positions of
races, the most advanced being those of Christendom.
China, the oldest entity among peoples, has an admi
rable occasion upon which the citizens strive to liquidate
all their debts. It is a national pay-up day, and in spirit
somewhat resembles our Christmas. In Japan they
have an annual event somewhat like our New Year's
celebration, during which the people go about express
ing good will and promoting good cheer. But Christ
mas has a more elevating effect than either, in that it
not only typifies peace and good will, but carries the
essence of unselfishness and pure love, the most com
mon expression being the bestowal of gifts. When the
Christmas influence gains to the point that its spirit
shall permeate the affairs of every dzy in the year, the
millennium will have arrived.
We have this day, and if we mar not its ideal its leaven
will produce other days of the kind. In the making
of a newspaper we have an opportunity to view the
many forces operating upon the character of humanity.
We see the good and bad, the sincere and insincere,
the selfish- and unselfish. We believe the leaven of
good is more actiye than that of the opposed forces. If
we have been able to assist the right, much has been
due to your co-operation and we earnestly solicit a con
tinuation of the same. Our Christmas greeting to you
is one of optimism, good, cheer and heartv good wishes.

Tho .exceedingly bad weather on
Saturday night kept many from at
tending the program of the voice
pupils of Mrs. Kunvar at Upion Col-'
logo. This program was well ren
dered and entertaining. Altho some
of tho numbers were of a humorous
character, yet the music was full of
appealing harmony.
The first part consisted of solos,
duets, etc. All showed good work
and excellent training. Mr. H. M.
Campbell, from Nicholasvillo, who
camo to assist with tho operettas,
frendored a solo that brought forth
continued applause. He sings with
tho greatest of case and his power
ful baritone voice is wel.l suited to
songs of tho open sea. Ho was well
worth while hearing.
Tho last part of the program con
sisted of three operettas, given In
costume. Music rendered In this
way, accompanied by action as it is,
seems to bring out the best har
monies relieving any posslblo stiff
ness tho student might feel. Here
Mr. Campbell's work was again re
ceived with enthusiasm.
The students and Mrs, Nunvar
deserve great credit for being ablo
to work up such a finished program
in tho midst of their many activities
Tho reading by Bornlco Ilumlleet
"The Ruggles' Christmas Dinner
Party," was entertalnlpg and well
delivered. Having grown up, (not
quite yet) on U. C. campus It is a
pleasure to her many friends to
observe her Improvement.
We wish to add that when the
Voice Department of Union College
advertises a program under the di
rection of Mrs. F. A. Nunvar t'ho
"public may feel suro it Is well worth
attending for there Is always life
and skill exhibited in a most pleas
ing manner.
TUESDAY CLUU
Miss Gertrude Black was hostess
to the Tuesday Club December 3rd.
Responses to the roll call were
varied and Interesting incidents
about tho topic for the afternoon,
"Radio." Tho leader, Mrs. Guy
Dickinson, gave a preliminary his
tory of, tho radiophone. In tho ab
sence of Mrs. R. B. MInton, Mrs.
Russell Kautfman assisted and road
a papor entltlod: "Interesting Facts
About Radio." Mrs. Buck gave a
sketch of Edwin II. Armstrong's life
dwelling upon tho experiments that
led to the more porfect development
of tho radiophone.
During the business session ar
rangements wore made for tho an
nual reception of tho Club, to be
Now Year's evening at tho homo of
Mrs. Russell Kauffman.
A letter of greeting from Mrs.
McClung was read by tho corre
sponding secretary, Miss Gertrude
Black.
Tho hostess made tho decassion
harmonize with tho holiday season
In both decorations and refresh
ments. '
STOLEN AUTOMOBILE
IS RECOVERED
Chief of Police Stevo Phllpott
earned ono hundrod good plunks
and tho thanks of Dr. Runnolls, of
Kenton, N. C. when a week ago last
Thursday ho recovered that gentle
man's automobile and took Into
custody Clifford Singleton, 17, and
Walter Cogsburn, 19, of tho same
city. On arrival hero tho boys tele
graphed homo to their parents for
money and a return wlro asked that
they bo held. Meantlmo they bad
gono out of town but returned via
Manchester Street and were found
In a restaurant near tho depot at
ton o'clock that evening warming
thomsolves by tho (Ire but unable to
comfort the Inner tubing with a
meal as they were broke. Tho auto
stolen was a Bulck and was worth
about $1,800.
The boys were returned to their
homo town by a doputy Bherlff of
Haywood. N. C.
It Is a pity to see boys of these
ages do so foolish a thing as It will
cast a stigma on their wholo future.
Tho best asset a young man can
have is that of sterling honesty. To
bo known aa a crook Is to have
earned tho contempt of nil decent
citizens. In tho case of tho two
boys mentioned, wo hope tho adven
ture will turn out to havo been
moro in the nature of o thoughtless
prank.
PEG O' MY HEART
LOSES LEFT ILVND
Curtis Parsons, 17 years of ago,
from Callcbs Creek, suffered an ac
cident at his planing mill Tuesday
by which ho lost his left hand which
was so badly mutilated that It had
to bo amputated by Dr. Leslie Lo
gan at the Logan Hospital.
Curtis Is very plucky over his
mlsfortuno nnd his hlg spirit will
enable ihlm to overcome tho loss of
his hand.
How wo all onjoyod "Peg" last
Monday nlghtl This was another
of tho good things attempted at
Union College but when you are
going to do something why not do
something worth while?
Of courso Cecil Byrloy as "Pog"
was the star, but wo must say, in
tho language of tho rovues, she was
supported ny an an star cast even
to tho dogs.
Carolyn Stanflll was tho stately,
rather cold society mother.
Charles Heldrlck, as Alarlc, her
son, was not only "good looking"
but also "good acting."
Flosslo Turner, the daughter and
sister, was apparently Ice cold, but
"my word" underneath sho certain
ly had toolings.
Jaklo Howard, the solicitor was
all business, even in his sudden pro
posal, Francis Nash, tho near vllllan,
was very sleek.
Arthur Delph, tho footman, acted
tho part splendidly.
Bornlcc Ilumlleet, tho maid, car
ried off her part with proper dignity
Horace Barker, as "Jerry" was
pleasing to the audlonco ns well as
to Peg.
Cecil Byrley, as Peg, qulto out
did herself, It being perfectly easy
fro her to bo both witty and sweet.
Miss Mildred Murphy Is all bus
iness when It comes to her work
and deserves great credit to bo ablo
to produce so worthy a play as that
of Monday night In tho midst of
a busy College term. In the first
place sho can fit the person to the
part and then sho Inspires the pupil
to do his best.
Barbourvlllo needs more plays
and wo are loklng forward to fur
ther treats during the remainder of
the college year.
