cord took somewhat OF a turn to-day For

o'clock there had been fifteen cases re-
ported, and by o'clock tonight all pre-
vious records of this season had been
broken, so far as new cases were concern
ed. In a few hours three deaths had also

A COUNTY MAGISTRATE
HID RUNS HIS COURT ON THE
BRIGHAM YOUNG PLAN.
SCENE IN THE COUNTY COURT
He Desired to Explain His Mormon Doctrine
But Judge Robinson Said to Him
Nay.

Twenty-Five years ago Moses G.. Todd
was prominent young Baptist preacher
nd was pastor of several Baptist church
les in the Eagle Rock section Of the
county. A few years later Mr.. Todd
ceased to preach and became a promi-
nent Republican politician, and was a
few years elected to the Legislature oil
the Republican ticket. He ran store
and farm in the neighborhood of Eagle
Rock and accumulated a pretty good
estate. Meanwhile he had stopped
preaching entirely, but was still a men,
Der of the Baptist church until about
three years ago, when some Mormon
elders passed along through the county.
They found in the erstwhile Republican
eX-prea cher-politic:an congenial spirit
He took them in, heard them gladly and
was in a short while preaching Nor
monism to his neighbors and proposing
to build a Mormon church.
In the recent political fusion shake-up,
among the many other kinds of political
conglomerates that were put in office,
was this prominent disciple of Brig
ham Young. He was elected a justice
of the peace of Marks Greek township.
Yesterday Esquire Moses g., Mormon
elder and township judge, was before
Wake Superior Court as a witness in
a case against Henry Robertson, color
ed, charged with bastardy. There were
perhaps not a half dozen people in the
court house that even discovered that
there was such a thing in Wake county
as native-born Brigham Young, and
when, in answer to a question from
Col. Argo as to whether or not the j. T..
from lower Wake was a Mormon, he
bowed affirmatively. 1t created a little
sensation, but the Mormon J. p. was in
no way nonplussed, and a little further
on announced that he would like to en-
tertain the court and the jury with
an expounding of the Mormon doctrine.
Judge Robinson didn't care to listen to
la Mormon sermon, and so the Rev.
Moses G., J. p. M. E., was denied the
privilege and pleasure of converting a
court house full to the faith of Brig
ham, the late sage of Salt Lake. Col.
Argos examination of the Mormon magi-
.strate brought out the fact that he ran
his magistrates office just about like
Brigham Young ran the Mormon church
(women and alp just as he pleased, and
he admitted that he quashed cases when
he felt disposed to do so.
