Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hon. Benjamin Franklin Long: Judge of the Superior Courts, of North Carolina Dear Sir: It happened I was near at hand and had opportunity to note specially the trial of two important cases by your father, both of which attracted national attention. The pursuit of your studies has detained you from home so long I can understand how you may not have been able always to keep fully informed as to the march of events in your native State, even though your father´s labors may, at times, have been connected with these events. I´m quite sure the perusal of this little pamphlet will furnish you information you have not fully possessed before. Your father has performed certainly two distinct services for the State and country, either of which should and will render his name rememberable. One of these is his decision in the Rate War Case, which led to a compromise of passenger rates between the South Atlantic States and the railroads, 1907 and 1908. The other is his judgment in the Lynching Case, 1906, when he placed lynching under ban by sentencing to the penitentiary for fifteen years a white man, a member of a mob, for his part in the notable lynching of several negroes in Rowan County. A significant fact related to the latter case is, there has not been a lynching in North Carolina since that trial; and, in connection with the former case, there are several facts worthy of note. Layman though you may be, it may be a matter of historical interest to you to know that, so far as I´m advised, there never was but one opinion of a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States that resulted promptly in an amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
