Lawyer and Judge Have an Encounter in County Court
Newton July 23 A sensational clash followed a civil case in Superior court where Clarence L Whitener of Hickory attacked Charles H Mebane editor of Chiwaba County News and county judge. Whitener claimed the editorial referred to him while Mebane denied it. The trial hinged on a minor Bank of Hamilton dispute over a newspaper contract. Whitener argued forcefully in court and in jury remarks, while Mebane explained past actions about false statements involving a teacher and a woman. The bar split on Whitener's tactics but he vows to publish his side with rebuttals. The affair drew broad interest with sentiment split between both sides.

The change raises collection and delivery allowance to five cents per shipment while lowering rail terminal allowance by one twentieth of a cent per pound, with larger shipments seeing reduced impact. Net operating deficits for the four big firms totaled about $1.183 million in 1914-15, though some petitioners fared better.
