count OF sickness in his family and
thcrc was no court on Monday.
This is Judge KDugh's first term Il:
Ncwhcrry. be is Il very pleasant gentle
man, good lawyer, aud aGood Judge,
but he had not had great deal OF expert
However, he is quick and positive in
his "ulings and is pleasant and genial
and treats officers and court attaches
with great kindnc's and considerations
Everything is moving a'ong smoothly
aud about rs much or more Roadway
is beng made with the business before
the court rs il made by other Judges
who make more noise and have the ap-
pcarancc OF rushing things. Judge
Klugh is from Abbcvillc.
He charged tho grand ju.y briefly us
to their duties and particularly rs TO
the bills handed out by the solicitor.
There was Il large crowd in the court
room on Tuesday and Wednesday, aud
in fact all the week.
In this court us was the case in the
March term most OF the defendants are
wnitc people nnd people Of some promi-
ncncc in their communities. This is
very unusual thing for Ncwbcrry.
In our experience in the courts Of this
county for the past eighteen years very
few OF the defendants have been white
people unless it was an occasional white
man charged with murder. We hope,
however, that We will soon have an end
OF these eases.
The prominence of the defendants
ana the nature Of the charges against
them have created considerable public
interest and men stand in the crowded
court room ali day not to miss any part
of the testimony and to hear the clD-
qurnL words Of counsel on both sides of
the cases. We have able lawyers in
Ncwbcrry and eloquent speakers.
The Buckley case has been continued
to the next term Of court on account of
the illness OF Mr.. Buckley. The case
against J. y. Riser, Willie Riser, Al
bert Risrr is on appeal in the Supreme
