It la neither ponding water upon or diverting water from defendant's lands or works. Plaintiff is simply aaklng that defendant be not permitted to encroach upon its rights; that defendant be prevented from diverting the waters of Roanoke river from the riparian lands and works of plaintiff.

"If the defendant has the right, as it claims, to divert the waters of Roanoke river for manufacturing purposes whenever and whatever quantities It desires, then all of plaintiffs rltfbtsmnd properties and the plants run byVlts water power depend upon the will and act of defendant. By stretehing a dam across the larger prong of the river, as it has the smaller one -Little River it can prevent the flow of any water to plaintiff's lands and works. "If It has under its charter the right to divert the water from plaintiffs lands and works, as it Is now doing. It must follow that It has the right to divert all the flow of the river and thus 'dry up' plaintiff and Its works and the dependent plants and destroy the riparian rights of plaintiff and of all lower riparian owners. It is impossible for us 1o conceive of the possession of such rights by defendant.

"Upon the whole ease the plaintiff submits that it should have judgment "1. For nominal damages and for costs, the- question of actual damages being by agreement reserved for future action. "2. For an abatement and removal of the dam or obstruction of the defendant in and across Little river, except to the extent and height of the original wing dam, to-wit, 100 feet into the river from or near the uppt-r IUNG'CRO WELL DRUG CO.

P. S. KELLER Architect i WHITLEY IS RELEASED THE EVIDENCE NOT SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT HI3I. The case of J. P.

Whitley, charged with selling liquor, was tried before Justice Stronach yesterday morning, and the defendant was released, as the evidence was not strong enough to convict. The principal witness for the State was Buck Buffalo, who; testified to having bought liquor from the defendant last Tuesday and on several other occasions. For the defense, Whitley himself was the first to go on the stand. He denied the statements made by Buffalo and declared that Buffalo did not even enter hi place of business on the day under discussion. He stated that his store was; public and that several of his customers were ladies, who would go info his store without hesitancy, as there was never any disorder there.

Upon being asked he stated that hfe sold near beer up to the! time when it was taxed by the city, but that he had never had any whiskey in his place Of business, aa he did not drink. The next witness for the defenae was a carpenter by the name of Johnson, who lives near the i city. This witness seemed toi be thoroughly "disgusted" with the prohibition law and boasted of the fact that when the city was under prohibition the 80's, he served twenty days on the roads because he refused to tell on ore who sold liquor In defiance; of the law. The defendant waxed warm in his arguments against prohibition, in fact so warm that he was told! by Justice Stronach to "keep a civil! tongue in his head" while he was giving testimony. He cooled down, but there was still "blood In his eyes." He stated that on last Tuesday, the time of the alleged sale by Whitley, he was at Whitley's place of business when Buffalo, the star witness.

1 made his appearance, but that Whitley objected to his (Buffalo's) entering: his store because he was drunk. Ernest Bridgers was the! next witness for the defendant and! was present when Buffalo walked up to Whitley's store last Tuesday, bjut he did not stay to see what Buffalo did. as he "knew how Buffalo wsat when he was drunk," and did not want to chew the rag with him. Bridgers stated that he had never bougbt liquor from the defendant. i Alderman Peebles, Messrs W.

A. Myatt and Paul Lee were put on the stand nd each testified that so far as he knew the defendant's! character was good. Exter Pool, who clerks for the defendant, took the stand and testified that the defendant's place of business was not arranged as to conceal any transactions and that no liquor had been sold there. The defendant was represented by R. N.

Simms. while the prosecution was carried on by City Attorney Clark. When the evidence was all! In, It waa found that It was not strong enough to warrant the defendant's conviction, so he was Whitley, says that Jim who is serving his county for selling li 1, fir i Raleigh, North Carolina VALUABLE FARM AND TIMBER LANDS FOR SALE. i Under and pursuant to' the au Congressman Claude Kltchln Closes I i Argument la Important Case Dcforo i the Supreme Court--Say Roanoke v' Navigation and Water, power Com- pany Can Divert Only Enough Wail ter Necessary for Nnvlgattonl Pur-poses.

It seems to be the concensus of opinion that the decision of the eousrj la this, case will clearly define the position of, the State with regard to ih manipulation of. one of the State's greatest resources, the almost unliml i4 water powers, and will decide, whether this factor so Important in -the 3onomles of both industry and commec, must look to-the state for the tight to utilize' auch water 1 powers, tor oal to the riparian land owners. Mr.

Kltchln discussed the rights of riparian land owners, saying that the plaintiff had purchased the land on each side of the Roanoke river, and 4 that the defendant claiming the State had I. given It th i right to divert the -water from the river to Its canal, had not given the plaintiff one cent for the dam je the latter had thereby With regard to how rlpa-lian properties may use Its water, the plaintiff contended that: it 1 Insisted by the defendant that If the plaintiff has any riparian rights they are limited to and can ba en forced only as to so much water aa Is used on plaintiff's own land.

It is this diversion that Is the banls of plaintiffs complaint 1 against thi defendant.

Application was made to Governor Kltchln yesterday for the pardon of Solomon Khoury, a Syrian, convicted at the August, 1908, special term of Cumberland court burglary, and sentenced to fifteen years.

Messra Q. K. Nimocks and J. G. Shaw, of Fkyettevllle.

and W. C. Douglass, or Raleigh, appeared for the family of the prisoner, and Mr. H. Cook, of Favettevllle.

represented Joseph Zahran. from whom Khoury, his nephew, stole about five dollars worm of money and goods. A largely signed petition, contain ing 79 names. Including the names of all the Jurors except -three, was filed, and both trial judge and solicitor recommend that the sentence be commuted to five years' imprisonment. Strengthening these was the presence of the mother and brother of the prisoner, the latter promising to make good all that has been lost If his brother should be pardoned, and It is understood that If the pardon Is granted the prisoner will be returned to his native home, where his father still resides.

A difficult matter in the case Is the charge of forgery against the young Syrian. He had been In the employ of his uncle In Fkyettevllle, who charges him with forging his name to a check for 8250. After the check had been cashed the young Syrian ran away to New' York, where he was arrested, and being returned to this State was convicted of robbery and given the long sentence. As an extenuating circumstance, It Is claimed that the prisoner Is not strong wltted. But his attorneys deny that lie lorgea the check, declaring that when it was written the prisoner was unable to both' English- -and Syrie-Chaldalo writing.

L. O'QUItili OOMP'Y 149 N. C. the court hold against the riparian rights the defendant could dam the upper prong of the Roanoke and take all the water from the river bed and the power plant that had cost the plaintiff 1750,000. If the defendant had the right to divert the water from the lower prong for manufacturing uses, in excess of the 60 cubic feet per second, the right to which they had acquired for proscription for navigation purposes, then they had the right to take It all.

For nearly a hundred years the canal was not enlarged, but when the plaintiff developed 8,000 horse power then the defendant diverted 200 cubic feet more per second and erected its plant. If one-half the water should be taken from the river, he declared, the plaintiffs property kto the extent of would be destroyedthis being the largest plant in operation in North Carolina except the pulp power plant at Canton. Mr. Kltchln said that for the purpose of navigation the State had a right to repair the riparian rights without compensation, but not for which he declared was not a public use. No riparian lands were condemned when the canal was established, and all the water except that necessary for the purpose of.

navigation must be allowedMo flow along, its natural channel. After the land, had been condemned in fee, as was the case in the defendant's property, It could be used for other purposes, but when It comes ta water, pnly enough might be diverted for the purpose of navigation. The 60 cubic feet per second was sufficient to run all the power of the defendant till HIT, In 1901 they enlarged their dam at. the lower prong, which was 100, feet In length, extending it to 300 feet.and made the; canal deeper and wider, thereby, taking .210 Instead of SO "cubic feet of water'- per second. The plaintiff did not know that the dam of the defendant had been enlarged In 1907.

and It soon thereafter brought suit. f'Are they taking thla -water from the natural channel for a publlo use or a private use. Tor navigation or manufacturing?" he asked. "They recognize that they; have got no right to take this for manufacturing unless this court holds that manufacturing la a pubho use and can use the power of eminent He stated that the. weight of authority says that riparian rights are the same on navigable waters as on non-navigable waters, but argued that the Roanoke river is not a navigable stream, as the court had held to the rule since 1124 that only such streams as had capacity to float sea-going vessels are navigable, and that the court having held that a river (the Pee Dee) which could float only batteaox.

canoes and flat boats did not have the capacity to float sek-gotng 'vessels and was not a navigable driver, and no kind 'ot vessels having been floated on the Roanoke, even such navigation as that having been aban doned in .1854, the Roanoke- was not navigable stream, Where the stream lat not Hie declared, the ownership of the bed Is In he riparian they owning to the center of the 'X With respect to the agreement entered into between the plaintiff and defendant In 1117 the contention of the plaintiff was: What the respective contentions of these two companies as to their respective rights to the use of the water ef Roanoke river, were, at the time the agreement was entered Into, and had been for several years prior thereto, well under stood by both of them. They were clearly outlined in he letters written in isso ana ibsi. I In Its letters df Msy 1891, plaintiff undertook; to define what were Its rights In -fthls respect, and. after doing so. gave the defendant notice that, aa It (the plaintiff) might need to exercise Its rights In the constructions contemplated by It at that time or in any future enlargement of its works.

It would claim damages for any diversion of the water of the river by defendant through its canal not necessary for navigation, and the right to have abated any structure creating suen oi version. "It is apparent from 'the express language of the agreement that both parties believed they had certain rights to the use of -the water of Roanoke river and which neither pro posed to waive or surrender, Each were equally cautious to safeguard those right nd to, the extent and In the respect- to which each believed or claimed they were entitled. Plain tiff expressly stipulated that the: 11 cense or permlsslon.lt therein granted the defendant shalf not be construed as a waiver of or concession bv It to the Roanoke Navigation and Water Power Company 'of any of its richta franchises and privtlegea to have the waters of Roanoke irlver flow by and through and upon Its property to the extent it- is entitled, to use and enjoy aaia waters ror any purposeaT for which It has the right to appmthe And the defendant that, the license or permission It therein grant ed the plaintiff 'shall not be construed as a waiver of or concession to the Roanoka Power Company of any or its rights, rranchises and privileges to draw the waters of Roanoke river into its canal to the extent-and tor the purposes it was entitled so to do i "So. while concessions were made. aa to these claims we carefully safeguarded.

If the defendant had the right to draw Into and through Its canal the water of Roanoke river, ad libitum, and carry tne same beyond the property of the plaintiff, giving to' the plaintiff the right to pond the, water upon and against the northern boundary of Its property, if It had or should ever do so, could not abridge or Interfere with that right, as the point of diversion was and is a considerable distance above where such ponding would oc cur. And. on the other hand. If the pieintitn had the fight to have the water of the river flow to and through and ufcon its property, granting the defendant the license to dump, Its mua, tc, upon plaintiff's land In cleaning out its canal for the purpose of strengthening and keeping the same, and its northern wall or embankment In proper repair and condition, did not take away that rlaht Mr. Kltchln argued the law on the score or more of question Involved In the case.
