Court is in session at Shelby this week. The presiding judge, the Hon. W. A. Hoke, who has just been appointed to office, is the youngest member of the Bench of North Carolina, he being considerably less than 40 years of age. He has a striking face, and is a man of marked ability. Some of the customs which prevail in a North Caro lina court of justice occur to the visitor from across the line as rather peculiar. Not a single member of the Shelby Bar ap peared in the court room in a black frock coat. The Solicitor wore a short round jacket the day I was present, while defen dant’s counsel was attired in a full suit of some light gray ma terial, the coat of which is com monly denominated as a “Sey mour.” The judge himself had on a short alpaca coat which he exchanged after dinner for a seersucker jacket.
