Raleigh. n. c., March S1.-The city of

REMARKABLE JUDICIAL RECORD.
Monday morning when Judge George
II. Brown opened March term of Wake
Superior Court, for the trial of crmi
nal cases only. there were nIncty-two
cases on the docket. Yesterday after
H.. ~. o..
was not one left-the entire docket,
which it usually requires at least ten
days of the two weeks set apart for
the term to transact the work, having
been cleared in four days. And if there
had been several others demanding at
tentlon there was enough of the day
left to have disposed of them also when
court adjourned.
This Is II remarkable record-a re-
cord breaker. but not surprising to
those familiar with Judge Browns
methods of transacting the business of
his court with dispatch. and at the
same time with all thoroughness, as is
proved by the few decisions overruling
his judgments by the Supreme Court.
BEATS FARMING.
1t pays to raise chickens and eggs
ana truck for mark t. The Chatham
Record tells of the experience of one
chatham man last winter that shows
what can be done. II says:
Many men in Chatham make IL a
regular business to travel about the
county in wagons. buying up chickens
ana eggs and hauling them to Raleigh.
Durham and other neighboring towns
We have heard of one man, who has
been running two wagons for this pur-
pose all last winter and made 81 100
clear profits on eggs alone. This beats
farming, or. indeed. any other busi-
ness in these dull days"
TACKLED THE WRONG MAN.

stroyed the blockade distillery of Eu-
