tremeIy Busy One and Many
Cases Were Disposed of

superior court was convened at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning with Judge
T. A. Parker presiding, Solicitor Ben
net, Sheriff Berrie, Clerk du Bignon,
and Deputy Sheriff Pyles and other
attaches of the court in their places.
An innovation was introduced IN
the court when the Judge announ-
ced that the deliberations would be
opened with prayer and instantly the
court was advanced to the dignity of
the church and Rev Walter M. Gil
more, Pastor Of the Baptist church,
of this city, ascended the platform
and offered very impressive prayer.
The feature of the day, as is usual
grand jury and Judge Parkes took es
pecial care to charge the members of
the body as to the usual custom of
informing others OF the doings of the
body while in session and while in
vestigating matters of general inter-
est. He was particularly drastic with
referaDce to the carrying of conceal
ed weapons and urged the members of
the jury to indict without fear, favor,
or reward violators of this law wheth-
friend or for, for" said the court,
until the general public is made to
understand that the majesty of the law
is to be upheld and vindicated and that
the yiolators of the same are to be
surely and aexSYs q i5}anished, we will
copt :iFasls ssss
oline. -
Judge Parker outlined very plainly
the serious and important duties that
the attach of a grand juror. You
are machinery" said the judge, and
continuing on this line he said "by
which the the great work of the Grim
inal court is put into active opera
ton; it is for you to determine wheth-
or or not the offenders shall be
brought to justice or shall escape it,"
The usual offenses, so common in
all communities, were referred to in
equal terms.
Previous to the charge of the grand
jury, the members retired to their
department on the second floor of the
court house and organized with the
following officers: Foreman, N Eman-
uel, Clerk, J. S. NJ Symons, Messen-
ger, Horace Robinson.
When the charge was over the jury
returned to their room and began the
work of the session.
After the assignment of cases for
the term the court settled down to
business, and it was dispatched in
right good shape.
1t will be noticed that those applying
for divorces had fairly good inning
and at one time the court looked
like veritable divorce mill"
