TEMPORARILY LOCATED!

On account Of extreme illness since the fire on
April the first, have been unable to appear in a
card to my customers. now take pleasure in
Informing them that I am located in the store in
the Shaw building formerly occupied by MIR. w.
inspection by Thursday, April the 9TH and invite
all to come and see me.
w hlle tbs a source of sincere regret to- say nav
stock is not large well assorted as fsnaarly,
still tbs the best that be done ussi II the cir
cunstances. Prices will necessarily be very low
and every article new, did not save COLLAR
from the fire.
The Millinery Department, under the manage-
ment Of Miss Amelia Iinkhaw, is salocated over &e
Drug Store of Dr. j. D. Mcmillan. Special invita-
tions extended the ladies. The stock is near
bottom. ....~..e.
We hope to be able to say more next week In
the meantime, I extend my sympathy to those
who, like myself, suffered loss and are trying to
rise from the ruins. .sH@--

kind to me during my sickness, and to them can
only extend heart full Of gratitude and thanlkssla

4 PROMISING NEW JUDGE.

Under the above caption the Charlotte
Observer of Sunday pays a handsome
compl .neilt to Judge Thos. H. Sutton,
who is ho!ding..the May term Of Robson
Criminal Court. We copy from the Oh
1t is 50 common thing to compliment
Judges that this paper refrains from it be-
cause it is co1nn,on.aud largely meaning
less. We deviate from this rule now to
say that Hon. Thos. H. Sutton, who has
just concluded a weeks term of the
Criminal Court of Mecklenburg county
his first terfn-,as made most excellent
impression. Without any appearance OF
undue haste he has disposed of business;
1t has been evident that he knows the
law, and that he has sound ideas of tho
administration of justice. ]. He does not
believe i'll felons going free, aid yet hs
knows when it is proper for mercy to III
tervene. In court Friday afternoon, Col
II. c. Jones, prompted by that great big
heart Of his, arose and put III the plea o
| mercy for black woman who had jus
been convicted of larceny, though he wa.
not counsel in the case-the woman hat
no counsel. (The lawyers say that Col
Jones has risen voluntarily and begged
off more darkies than auy other man a
the bar.) His Honor listened to him AM
said, very beco1nilgly, that he1had littl
mind for sending woman to the chain
gang. He did not send her, ..esssier, bu
took her promise to secure tie cost
and her .recogrizance to appear at til
next term Of court. Altogether Judg
Sutton bore himself wen in the holdin
of this, his second court, and the lawyer
and all the other habitiaes' of the coui
house liked him. +< >

Maj. Mckinley viii be seen on the back

say for the present that as soon as his

ASSOCIATE EDITORS WANTED.
The RoBEsoNIAN stands very
much in need of number of as
soclate editors-the kind referred
to in the following paragraph cop
led from Press and Printer:
Newspaper men,are blamed for
a lot Of things they cannot help;
such as using partiality III men
tlonlng visitors, giving news about
some folks and leaving cut 9th
ers, etc. They simply print the
news they can find. An editor
should not be expected to know
the names and residences of your
uncles,. aunts and cousins, even
if he should see them off on the
train. Tell him about it. It's
news that makes a newspaper,
and eYeryiman, woman and child
In the neighborhood could be as.
sociate editors if they would"
The Robesonian., 1897-04-21

Now that the RoBEsoNIANs is. on
time and everything in the ofice
is working smoothly we want to
say aword to advertisers particu-
larly. In order that all the mails
may be made the RoBEsoNIAN goes
to prcss at as early an hour Tues
day afternoon as possible. The
press now used to print the paper
is not over o third as fast as the
old one and it is absolutely nee
essary that there should be some
regular hour to close the forms.
In order that there should be no
delay and to insure the publica-
tion of their advertisements ad-
verti5ers- will have all copy for
changes and for new advertise
ments IN tie Office not later than
10 o'clock Tuesday morning. If
this is done the changes will be
made willingly, but no change Of
a standing advertisement will
be promised if the copy is received
later than 8 O'Clock Tuesday.
In cases where legal advertising
is wanted we prefer having the
copy SIS early as Tuesday morning,
but if the advertisement is short
it can probably be inserted if re-
ceived not later than Tuesday
noon. It is better, however, that
they be sent in earlier to- avoid
possible delay. In no case will
advertising of any kind be taken
| for publication in a current Issue
at later hour than Tuesday noon
By observing these rules the pub
lication Of the RoBEso,,IAN will
not be delayed and everything car
be made to run smoothly and sat.
J isfactorily. Without some system
there is probability Of delays ano
dissatisfaction Advertisers viii
therefore help us materially by
being prompt. The sooner tfeil
copy is received the better th,
work that can be done for them.

SuBLiM;TY OF ASSURANCE.

One of the many sharp t1lorns thrust
almost daily into the anatomy of the pub
Usher is the request for free advertising
from the man who gets his printing done
at some small job Office. The Allentown
Pa. Chronicle gives voice to vigorous
protest against this very common abuse,
as follows:
Today young man called at this Office
with big pile Of circulars on his arm
and requested us to publish the conteuts
of the circular i'll the paper as puff.
The circular, which was wretched spec
linen of the typographical art, had been
printed in one of the amateur job Offices
with which this city is cursed, and which
generally consist of a rack of second hand
type ard di1apidated hand press, pre-
sided over by genius who knows about
as much Of job printing as the steward
of a vessel knows about navigation. A
person however, has a perfect right te
have his job printing done where he
chooses, but for ali individual to call at

EFFECTS OF JARVIS LAW.

At Least 40 Per Cent.

1t viii BE Saving to Maury County of
At Least 40 Per Cent.
Now that the County Judge is
issuing warrants for the payment of
the Circuit Court costs for the May,
1897, term, study of the new Grim
inal costs system and the benefits to
be derived from it by the taxpayer
is exceeding interesting to the
average resident of Maury County.
The May term is the first term of
the Circuit Court to be footed up
under the new law, but the full
effects of the new enactment will
not be felt until the costs of the next
term are compiled, as in the May
term cases number of long-stand-
ing litigatiOns, under the old law,
were disposed of, and of course the
costs which accumulated by con-
tinuances at former terms were not
cut down. Consequently, the May
term is not fair test of the benefits
to be derived from the law.
Judge Looney, when asked by a
HERALD reporter in regard to the
matter, said that he had not yet
figured up the costs Of the May term
and could not give the exact figures
until the first of September. He
was confident, however, that the
costs in misdemeanor cases (and
Maury County has more of these
cases than any other county for its
size in the state) would be cut a
least 40 per cent and probably so.
THERE'S big cut in officers costs
and witness fees, and the entire
cost of maintaining the Circuit
Court will be cut almost halfln two
