About the "Cote- ii Ouse''--District
Attornies Aycock and We'll Here
and viii Wing Many a Bird with the
SmokeIess Powder of Their Eio-
quence.
Yesterday morning there stepped into
| this town cur two brilliant United States
attorneys for the Eastern district Of
North Carolina They were Messrs.
Aycock and We'll. These gentlemen
were here last May on mission similar
to tlat which brings them here now. In
those days the courtroom was packed
as it nevos was before. Judge Rjddick
the veteran clerk kept on the outside of
his coat for a solid week, while moist
mass of men waiting for their fees
| 10 Ike upon him as If he had been
pump nugget of gold fresh from the
! San Christian mine; Clerk Registers
methodism was the only thing that
kept him from faintiug by the way;
| JUICE SeymOur's voice was about the
only cool thing in the court room; the
| two District Attorneys felt the perspira
| ton creeping noiseessly through their
| hair Mr. We'll would make a lunga at
some moonshiner, while Mr.. Aycock was
| hanging his soul out to dry.
| But now it is different, these two gen.
tlemen have been through the surf sea-
son at Southport and other points,
! their hearts that throb so near tue sea-
sde have gone joyously up against the
duck and OF ster season; they come fresh
from very swell case of flibustering,
and many things have happened to give
| t cir spirits good carbonlc
acid sparkle Their cheeks are crimson
with health, and to-day will
| be charming accompaniment To their
speeches, which will ring smart and
clear after the wild-winged Bohemians
of Moonshine as bird shot over frost
fringed pea patches. They will be in
cracking good shape. There will be
hope in Mr. Wells eye, and the jury
will drink in draughts Of It's CLINT and
there will be that flank movement
tip toe tone about Mr.. Aycock's
seductive voice as it plainly
winds around the enemy. Meantime
back of the railing will be many left
overs from last terms mConshiners and
many new mOonshineTs. Their slab
sided checks will look like talloW beside
the holly berries that are blooming IN
the paradise Of Mr. Wells cheeks. One
bad man will be there who made brandy
in wash pot, with cypress knee
| fer a stijlcap out Of the sklmuiDgs
| of cane juice The moousbiae1s came IN
yesterday by every train, just as long
| legged as ever they were with their coat
| tails TO use a Wall street term going
short" on their pants ard the two eye
buttons on the back making about third
base Of their vertebrae After getting
out Of the trains. they worked out into
the clear from behind the Union Sta
ton bars, and unfolding their
| limbs as if they were opening
up Barlow knife, they took chew and
| stood with thin shanked taciturnity
around the 'tcote- house, corner.
The witnesses and jury had been well
provided for; boarding house keepers
nave for severald days been getting names
/ from Clerk Register in order to
fiji their lists. But the moon
SINNERS A few of them stood
| last night lauk in the shadow about the
| C rners, with their wide brimmed hats
thrown fat as discs down on the pave
ment against the moonlight Some Of them
sized no the number Of fingers left in
/ the bottle with their thumb nail last
night as they held it up against the
moon, measured down four fingers and
eobed the corn down tia much to the
gnat's heel.
