a sort Of impromptu love-feast. with
Judge Winston for the victim.
Nearly all the members of the Raleigh
Bar were present, Mr.. b. {. Beckwith
started the ball rolling by saying that
Mr.. w. =. Jones. the youngest member
of the bar. had been chosen as spokesman
of the occasion.
Mr.. Jones then in a very graceful man
ner addressed Judge Winston in part as
follows:
The members of the Raleigh Bar have
asked me to tender to you their thanks
for the uniform courtesy and kindnes
with which You have treated all OF us
and to express their regret that you can
not be with US at the next term OF our
court"
Mr.. James H. Pou followed Mr.. Jones
in & few well-chOsen words Of apprecia-
ton.
Mr.. D. G. Douglass then added some
humorous remarks and happy anecdotes.
Mr.. r. n. Simms told what the people
in general had to say of the judge, and
what they said was mighty nice.
Mr.. w. ]. Peele also said some very
gracious things.

Lawyer S. CT. Ryan, white of hair,
ponderous of frame, imposing of mien.
is discovered opening his argument to
the jury. He speaks with characteristic
frankness of the quarrclling and bad
blood between the brothers Haywood
John Pugh Haywood: That's a lie"
with appropriate adjectives.l
Lawyer Ryan: [Starting toward Hay
wood with uplifted hand and terrible
look.] do you say that | lie?"
IOther lawyers and spectators grab
Ryan and prevent a blow.l
Judge Winston: 'tMr. Sheriff, put Mr..
Haywood under arrest" but no M
Sheriff. forthcame. Only the echo
came back-''rest." And there was
nothing doing" "Mr. Sheriff. had
stepped out for a few minutes. Mr..
Ryan in the meantime assumes his
wanted calm and dignif1ed demeanor and
the trial wags on.l
Thus was the lie passed in the Super
ior Court room, and thus was trouble
avcrtcd yesterday evening.
At supper time Haywood went over to
the hotel and apologized to Judge Win
ston for his unseemly remark. The Judge
accepted his apology and agreed to let
the matter rest there. He SO
to the Bar at the session last night, and
expressed the hope that his acquaintance
with Haywood had not made him too len
lent.
The case of C. d. Pace against Joseph
A. Haywood aroused some interest.
Pace accused Haywood of slander and
sued for 81, 900 damages. The evidence
showed that John Pugh Haywood had
business relations. and that Joseph Hay
wood had said that Pace was rObbing his
brother, and had said it very emphati-
cally, applying adjectives and epithets
that were far more forcible and express
sive than elegant.
The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. Douglass and Simms and Jas.
H. Pou. For the defendant Col r. NJ.
Argo and Mr.. S. G.. Ryan appeared.
The jury awarded the plaintiff 500.
Notice of appeal was given.
Last night Judge Winston announced
his decision in the House divorce case.
1t was that he refused to sign the decree
for a divorce in accordance with the YER
dict of the jury. This sets aside the
verdict, which granted the husband a
divorce. The judges reason for refus-
ing to sign the decree was that the man
had been living an impure life, as he
himself admitted on the witness stand,
and was not entitled to a divorce. This
amounts to a victory for the wife, who
was represented by McSsrs. W. +. Jones
and Jno. w. Hinsdale. Jr. An appeal
was taken by the plaintiff, and the case
will have to go to the Supreme court.
A judgment was entered last night an
nuling the marriage of Allie Cassie Ian-
zenburg and Joseph T. Z~anzebburg, alias
Joseph Fleming. The woman, who lived
in the Cow-skin section of White Oak
township, answered Z~azenburg's adver-
