* A Statement
Such a flomi of communications
descended upon us this week that we
yield our editorial space to our contributors.
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.

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.
We intend to give all parties a
square deal as far as possible.

.CRIMINAL COURT :
1 PROCEEDINGS.:
RECORD OF CASES DISPOSED OF <'
-HIS HONOR'S CHARGEREADY
TO ADJOURN.
i T1h> criminal court convened
1 Monday at the usual hour, his
honor,Judge R W Meniminger, pre
i siding. 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.

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. The work of the
riniinal court will probably l>e
roinpleted today.

A Woman's Great Idea
is how to make herself attractive.
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. Constipation
and kidney poisons show in
pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and
a wretched complexion. But Electric
Bitters always prove a godsend
to women who want health, beauty
and friends. They regulate stomach,
liver and kidneys, purify the
blood: give strong nferves, bright
eyes, pure breath, smooth, v^.vety
skin, lovely complexion, go/*d ^lth.

Farmers should eat
more oatmeal.
Although the fanner of today is able
to buy almost anything he wants to
wear or to eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food valuta wnen a comes

4 If he has been watching the extensive
researches and experiments on
the question of the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all sides to eat more
Quaker Oats."
Quaker Oats is mentioned because
it is recognized in this country and
Europe as the best of all oatmeals.
Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats
means getting more work out of them
than if you teed them on anything
else.
