said that when he was II boy about | |
years old he lived with his father, who
was little near-sighted, in cottage
i'll the southern part of China. One
day he was cleaning out his fathers
tea kettle and could not get all the
tea leaves ont, so he put his hand in
the kettle. About half hour after
ward his father called for his tea,
which Guy took to him and returned
to work. Shortly the old gentleman
called him again and asked him if he
did not tell him never to put his hand
in the tea kettle.

Durham's Temple of Justic e.

Durham's Temple Of Justice is
the new, elegant, eommodious
Court House where the first term of
Durham Superior Court is holding its
sessions.
Durham's Temple Of Justice is an
ornament to the city and a credit
and honor to the people Of the coun-
ty. IL Is a milestone 10 the march
Of progress, and will Impress all
with the s"lemnity Of Judicial pro-
ceedings aud that high respect which
is due 10 the courts of law.
Durham's Temple Of Justice is
dedicated 10 the cause Of truth, not
Of falsehood: for the end and aim of
all judicial proceedings is TO find the
very truth, detect and brand the
false. The design Of the admins
tration Of the Law, is tosecure justice,
and to thwart the cunning and
yiles of injustice.
Durham Temple Of Justice is
intended to be q shrine Of purity.
some ancient Roman said Of their
temple Of justice: "Far away, oh
far away, be impious hands and
unholy feet" So say We fot OAR
hams Temple Of Justice. Let the
witness and the sutton with perjury
on his lips and in his heart, never
come near this temple.
Let the litigant who is seeking BY
fraud, Gavin, and conspiracy, all
backed by outright perjury, never
enter lis portals with his impious
hands and unholy fleets. There is
nothing more corrupting or more
despIcable than the prostitution Of
courts Of justice to tie purposes Of
injustice and oppression.
Durham's Tenple Of Justice u
the seat where the law Is TO be ad.
ministered through Grand and
Petit juries. Let every Grand Juror
who enters that temple, remember
his solemn oath TO present none
Iron malice, and 10 leave none un.
presented from favor. reward. or the
hope Of reward. Let every man
VINO violates the law on any pre-.
tense whatever be presented. Grand

ment Of the criminal law become,
uncertain aud unequal. Equally
necessary il il that Petit iurles d.
their duty, for on them depends Oh,

Durham's Temple Of Justice Il
dedicated 10 the orderly admins
tration Of the law through court Of
Justice, regularly organized and pro
ceeding upon well-settlei principles
aud deriving their powers from tn,
sovereign authority Of the people. I
knows no demand Of mobocrats an,
lynchers. II frowns down upor
such people as polluters of th
temple Of justice and slanderers o
Law, and despises Of the ordaine,
tribunals Of the law. That tempt
emphasizes the fact that mobocrac,
and lynching are unnecessary in Chi
State; that they are fragrant viola
tions Of law. combinations, whic
through fraud aud perjury, seek

aud thus bring the courts into col
