Dover, Oct. 2S.-"Gentlemen, we are

large number of capital felonies before

amount of other criminal business at

swearing the Kent count Grand Jury
yesterday afternoon, after which the
jury retired to its room.
The Chief Justice. however. caution
ed the Grand Jury against spenling un-
necessary time in examining the evil
dence for the State. as some grand
juries must 5e shown all the prosecu-
tons evidence before they will return
a true bill, much to the delay of the
courts business and the additional eX-
pense of keeping petit jurors in attend

Perhaps Asia Minor is richer in crude

country. When children hear an owl
hooting from the cypress groves, they
cry, "Good news for us; good messages

hold it up by the beak and chant,
"Palm Sunday owl, how does your

rite is lost, but the habit fingers.

LAPSE OF THE STATUTE
Threw the Case of Gould Against
jackson Estate Out of Court,

Threw the Case of Gould Against
jackson Estate Out of Court.
The decision of Judge Seabrook up
on the demurrer filed by the defend
ant in the case of John D. Gould
against Pope Barrow, executor of the
estate of Henry R.. Jackson, was hand
ed down in the Superior Court yester-
day. The demurrer was sustained and
the case dismissed.
The demurrer was argued before
Judge Seabrook because of Judge Bar
rows interest in the case as the rep
resentatiVe of Gen. Jacksons estate
MIR. Gould brought suit to recover
the difference between the amount of
a loan made him by Gen. Jackson and
the actual value of the property by
which 1t was secured. In 1889 the loan
was made and it's payment secured by
mortgage on lots rs and 80. Derby
ward. The loss was for So, 500, and
was due year after date
When the note matured Mr.. Gould
found himself unable to meet it, and
was Informed by ]. Lawton Whatley.
Gen. Jackson's then general agent in
the management of his estate. that
the mortgage would be foreclosed. TO
save heavy expenses on the sale. in
the way of commissions, it was agrede
between Messrs. Gould and Whatley
that the latter should be suffered to
buy 1t in for Gen. Jackson at a NOM
inal amount. Mr.. Gould averred in
his petition that he carried out this
agreement in good faith, and that
when the property was sold it was
bought in for Gen. jackson for $500.
He had contributed to this result by
explaining the matter to his friends
and others who had come to bid on
| the property and, induced by his rep
reservations, they had refrained from
| bidding. In consideration of this con-
duct on his part, he declared, it had
been agreed that the property should
be resold and that he should then re-
ceive the excess of the purchase price
| over and above the amount of the orig.
inal loan and the expenses of the fore
closure and other legal proceedings
Within a month or two after the sale
at the Court House the two lots were
sold to w. c. Fripp for $5,200
In his petition Mr.. Gould said HI
waited long, but the agreement thu:
made was never carried out. He final
ly instituted suit for the recovery o,
the amount, but not until Gen. Jack
son was dead and Judge Barrow haC
qualified as the executor of his estate
The demurrer was based upon the
lapse of the statute of limitations ant
on this ground was upheld by Judge
Seabrook. In his decision Judge Sea
brook said there were other demur
rable errors in the petition but tina
his view as to the lapse of the statut,
rendered a consideration of them un
necessary.
The demurrer was argued some tins
since. John S. Schley and w. P. Har,
dee appeared for the plaintiff anC

The following lines were written by
the late Mrs. S. J. M. Baker and were
published a few weeks after the battle
of Manassas was fought, under Mrs.
Bakers nom de plume, "Netta:"
Mournfully, solemnly, bear on the
brave,
In the home of the dead, lay him low
in the grave;
Though storms beat above, where he
takes his last sleep.
o! earth, in thy bosom. his precious
dust keep.
Where the loud cannons doomed, and
the shells burst in air,
Where the fight ragged the warmest,
his heart knew no fear;
But grasping his banner, he led on
his band,
To battle for freedom--for his own
sunny land.
Savannah! Savannah. o! weep for thy
SON
Yes, weep for the true-hearted soldier,
who's gone;
~ co." thus he spoke. ere leaving his
state,
Georgia, 1 go thy name to illustrate;
To uphold thy honor, till thy foes bite
the dust
And the Sovereign of Heaven, will
prosper the just,
Mournfully. tearfully, bear him to rest,
Mother earth, take him, to sleep on thy
breast.
Mourn, Georgia, mourn, for the valiant
is slain,
On the field, his loved voice, will be
heard ne'er again,
In thy Senate, his wisdom shall guide
thee no more.

Bravely he fought, and the victory
won,
His promise fulfilling, his mission here
done,
Tenderly pile on his breast, the cold
sod,
Leave him to slumber till Weakened by
God.
