The printers have labored faithfully, even working overtime,to get the paper out 011 time, but with alxmt seven and a half columns of type to set, all on one subject, at the time this is written it seems seems doubtful whether we can get all the type up without delaying our issue. Of course we cannot -give our whole paper to one subject, however interesting it may be, especially when it is court week. - -* ~ K,v,a nnr mere 15 oi wurw a uuuv w ability to handle all the matter that the parties to this controversy choose to submit, especially when the average length of these articles is over V two columns. What we can do toward giving full discussion of the sub-, 1 jeot is done freely and willingly, hut should the letters increase in number and length, we cannot publish all of them the same week, because \ we haven't force enough to do the oxtra mechanical work required. We can only promise to do our l>c-t and remember this: first come, first served. If we have to hold over any till the next week, it will lie the List submitted, it matters not who the writer may be.

Solicitor Stoll and Stenoghapher Wood were on hand and the business of the court was entered upon without do'ay. | Judge Menimingci' told the grand jury that inasmuch as they had al| ready been fully instructed as to ! their duties by his predecessor, he 1 he would make no formal charge. Proceeding then in a colloquial way . he called attention to several matters that came within the scope of ! their power and duty, urging them | withal to see that the affairs of the of the county are l>eing properly j conducted and that the county is j getting a full equivalent for its j money. On his previous visit here J he had* issued a rule for the public square to l>e inclosed,and the practice of using it as a hitching yard to be abandoned. He was pleased to note the improvement resulting from car- 1 rying out this order. The law | should l>e respected and to have a i clean and sightly court house and grounds tended to increase that respect. "All the other counties in this circuit have recently erected , magnificent new court houses; you I have an adequate building, no doubt |?take cure'of it." He believed in making the jury rooms comfortable to lessen the hardship of 'doing jury duty. He stressed the | the importance of investigating all 1 ' testimony as to its truth. A man's I natural tendency (Orientals except- ; ed) is to tell the truth and it requires some influence to cause him him to lie. Bearing false witness ' for is a crime the same as l>earing it ' against one's neighbor. When a I {man has done wrong he should i plead guilty and trust to the mercy . j of the law?not try to bolster up his 1 j case with false witnesses (a praci tical application of this abstract 1 * J~ Tn? ( i principle was muuc /. mt ! grand jury can do a great deal to- 1 i wards deterring witnesses from giv- 1 ing false testimony. 3 Following are the cases desposed of: ( The State vs Mott Cooper, defen- i dant pleaded guilty to assault with 1 intent to kill and carrying conceal- < ed weapons, and was sentenced to < one year on chaingang or State penitentiary at hard labor. 1 The State vs Douglas Thomas, accepting, receiving and storing alcoholic liquors, Defendant pleaded 1 guilty and was sentenced to pay a ( fine of $200 or be confined at hard 1 labor on the chaingang or in the ! State penitentiary for six months. 1 The State vs Ellis Stone, Harrison 1 Stone, Thomas Washington, Morris \ Stone and Chesley Washington, larceny of livestock. Guilty as to ( Harrison Stone, Thomas Washington and Ellis Stone, with recommendation to mercy. Sentenced one year each to penitentiary or chaingang. R J Kirk, Esq, the defen- ( dants' counsel, moved for a new trial. The motion being over- ] ruled he gave notice of appeal to ( the supreme court and defendants \ were admitted to bail. Peter Fraizier pleaded guilty to house-breaking and larceny and was sentenced to the chaingang for eighteen months. Arthur Ward pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and carrying concealed weapons. Sentenced to be confined at hard labor for two months or pay a fine of $50. Cunningham Woods, house breaking and grand larceny. Pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years on the chaingang. A W Phelps, bigamy. Defendant pleaded guilty and received sentence' of one year in the penitentiary, i the sentence, however, being sus-J pended on good behavior. Messrs j Hirsch & Hirsch represented the defendant. mi T-Il_ .1 Koo QVAi't. 1 n<? XTlfips CilSC, v> iiiv.ii 11Clo c.wk-i ed wide-spread attention, ended ( about as was expected". The prison- , er's confinement has not improved (? his condition, and when he wasj i brought into court in an arm-chair, pallid of face, with sunken cheeks and unkempt beard, it was a pathetic spectacle. Every one felt that to burden the county or even the State with a helpless paralytic would be unwise. The law was vindicated when he confessed his guilt and received his sentence, and from what we can learn, the outcome of the case caused general satisfaction. In imposing sentence, Judge Memminger feelingly remarked that ? rv/-vnrnr< fkon fVtQ ftAlirf KqH a nci iimn inv wui v *imu already punished him for his sin and the sentence would be light accordingly. The minimum penalty for bigamy in this State is six months' imprisonment and the maximum punishment five years in the penitentiary. Phelps was taken to the north-bound train Tuesday afternoon and went his way rejoicing. We understand that he was bound for Greensboro, going to ..the faithful "wife No. 1"?the loyal soul who stood so staunchly by him who had betrayed her trust?and that she will try to nurse his broken body back to health and strength. It is to be hoped that she will succeed, but the opinion of the doctors with we have discussed the case is that he will never be much better than he is now. Joe Chandler, aggravated assault and battery. Guilty and sentenced to chaingang for five years. In connection with the above case a rather dramatic incident occurred. Vant McCullough.'one of the defendant's witnesses, told a story which in the eyes of court was so palpably a fabrication, that he ordered the witness indicted for perjury. The grand jury in a few minutes returned a true bill, the last handed out for this term. Tuesday afternoon, about six o'clock, the grand jury was discharged. The State vs Andrew Cain, assault and battery of high and aggravated nature. Defendant pleaded aruilty and was fined $50 with alternative of 60 days on chaingang. Messrs Lee & Ushburne represented i the defendant. Fred Hamilton was convicted of louse-breaking and larceny and assault with intent to kill. Sentenced to chaingang three years for housebreaking and larceny and one year for assault of aggravated nature. Peter Davis, larceny of livestock. Guilty and sentenced to eighteen months on chaingang and fined 5100. Messrs Hirsch & Hirsch and G M Beasley, Esq, represented the defendant. The State vs Vant McCullough, perjury. Contipued. The State vs Harold Wheeler, Buffkin Kennedy and Buster Kenledy, burglary and larceny. Hirsch K: Hirsch, attorneys for defendants, jntered a plea of guilty of compound larceny on the third eouut n the indictment. Harold Whee!?r was given $100 fine or six montl s n State reformatory in Florence, Buster and Buffkin Kennedy revived sentence of $100 each, with ilternative of 12 months in reformitory at Lexington. The State vs Cairo Graham and Jessie Kodgers, arson. Continued. \ttorneys: Messvs Lee ce Fishmrne and A C H.'nds, Esq. The State vs Cain Green and Lay ton Barr, murder. Convicted )f manslaughter and sentenced to hree years at hard lalnir on chaining or in penitentiary. A motion for new trial by defendants' attorneys, Messrs Lee & Fishburne, was >ver-ruled and notice given of apical to supreme court, whereupon Hind was fixed at $1,."500 each. In his case Messrs Hirsch A* Hirsch verc associated with Solicitor Stoll. The jury cases were all disposed ?f Wednesday afternoon. Thursday norning arguing motions occupied he attention of the court, which at 11:30 a m receded from business until 3 o'clock p m. This has been a strenuous term for lie court, the Solicitor and the ste lographer, but all seemed to l?e in jood form and few "strike-outs" ire recorded.

But, without health, it is hard for her to be lovely in face, form or temper. A weak, sickly, woman will be nervous and irritable.
