It will Is- the second of a series of three- del rates arranged by the two institutions last year. The lirst one took place in Raleigh, N. ('., last April, and resulted in a victory for Wake Forrest. This was the lirst debate Mercer ever lost and hence the students are anxious to settle the score with Wake Forrest.

J. G. Rawlings, the instiga tor of the crime, and father of the j two boys concerned in it, has,since his conviction, repeatedly confess-1 ed his guilt and avowed liis readi ness to suffer the penalty of the law. Yet his case has been twice 1 carried to the Supreme Court of Georgia and twice carried to the Supreme Court of the United States on purely technical grounds. It went to the Supreme Court of the United States on the last oc casion, it appears, on the ground that.!. G. Rawlings is or was a preacher and that preachers are exempted from jury services un der the laws of Georgia. The Con stitution requires a man accused of crime to lie tried by a jury of his peers, and, by the ingenuity of counsel, the novel construction is attempted to lie placed upon this old and well-defined legal term making it synonmons in J. G. Rawlings’ case with “preachers.” A theory is put forward, which if followed to its logical analysis, would require him to lie tried by a jury of preachers. This question was seriously and solemnly carried up to the highest tribunal in the land and when it came back with the seal of that tribunal’s disap proval upon the plea, the persist ent attorney, for the lack of some lietter argument to make, appar ently, defiantly told the court, ils appears from the news reports,that his client “was not’ hanged yet and hedid not think he would lie soon.” The intimation appears to have been understood by the court to I mean that some new and doubtless j equally, if not more, frivolous ground for another appeal would lie found. pons AND PARKS 1 WE SEU LAMES’ GOODS.
