Court in Session.

The December term 0f the Supe-
rior Court for Sampson commenced
last Monday, His Honor, Judge Arm
field presiding The Judge in his
charge TO the Grand Jury in addition
to the usual resume OF the law made
the stronge-t and most forcible de-
Tense Of the Jury system that we
have ever heard. He showed how
in troublesome times when the tech
nicalities of the Law bore heavily up
on those morally innocent, tho Jury
prompted by a common sense of
right and wrong would take the law
into their own hands and temper 1t
into equity, but in times Of peace
this was scarcely ever necessary for
law and equity are or should be the
same. He met every objection that
has been urged against the Jury sys-
TEN and showed that thUse who adj
vocated changing the present system
(especIally those favoring majority
rulef are the worst enemies of the
syste n, they desire those changes not
to perfect the system, but TO make il
imperfect, bring into contempt and
therefore destroy it.
His Honor is clear, impressive
and fluent talker, II good worker, and
is quite favOrite with the bar and
| the public generally. No Judge
within orr recollection has ever
made Il finer impression upoE ouI
people.
Mr.. G. a. Thompson, of Giddens

Jury.

field was delivering his charge to the
Jury.

a High Mark to Aim At"

Mr.. w. S. Herbert, the clever
editor of that excellent paper, the
Kin5lon Free Press who spent an
day at the Sampson Fair says:
The writer made very enjoyable
trip to the Sampson county fair, at
Clinton, last week. There was a
large attendance on Thursday. The
exhibits were very fine, though not
so good, we were told, as heretofore.
The fair was gotten up very hurried
ly this year, but little attention hav-
ing been paid it Oh account of the
political excitement.
=. h. re was lot Of gambling fakes
in the grounds, we were sorry to OBJ
serve; but were told such will not be
the case in future If the fair man
ayers do not exclude such hereafter
and so announce beforehand, the
fair should not be patronized.
Vance was act there to speak as
announced, having sent a telegram
of regrets on the night before that il
was impossible for him to come.
This writer met lot OF clever,
sociable people, and was very favor
ably impressed with the people o.
Sampson.
The fair manage ment will WORK
next year to make the best fair ever
hfld in Sampson, which is a high
mark TO aim at.

Most Eminently Deserved.

The Raleigh papers of yesterday
announce, what The Argus stated
yesterday morning, that our county
Tax Collector, Mr.. w. t. Dortch,
was the first to settle with the State
Treasurer for taxes. Ever since Mr..
Dortch was first elected tax coliee-
tor he has been the first every time
TO settle with the st lte, which is i'll
deed most Creditable. In addition
to this, he has made the fullest col
lections of taxes for the county of
any official who has ever had charge
of the taxes, thereby saving large
sums to the respon-ible and perman-
ent tax payers of the county. He has
been active, efficient ana courteous
always, and his recent fiattering re-
election was most eminently deServ-
