COUNTY COURT.

When court met last Monday after
noon there seemed to be nothing ready
for trial so a recess was taken until
Tue sday morning at nine O'Clock.
The case of State vs.. Clarence Carson
and Myron Carson for grand larceny
was to GO on trial Tuesday morning
but on considering the age of the boys,
they being only thirteen and fourteen
years old, it was thought best to
accept plea of guilty of petit larceny.
Judge Stafford sentenced them to the
reform school until of age and if not
of good behavior there to the house
of correction for not more than three
months and not less than eighty days.
Execution of sentence stayed and
respondents placed in custody of pro-
baton officer during good behavior.
These boys were accused of stealing
ca noe belonging to Eli Cheney on
the 9th day of last August.
After the disposition of this case the
civil case of Q. E. Twombly VS.. B. Fl.
Richie was taken up. This was an
action in assumpsit to recover of the
defendant board bill and team hire
which he had had of the plaintiff while
he was keeping hotel at Derby Center.
After a trial of about two days the
verdict was for the plaintiff to recover
S111.68, little more than half what
he claimed was due. There were
some interesting law questions in this
case and it will probably go to the
supreme court. A. w. Farman for the
plaintiff and J. w. Erwin for the
defendant.
The next case was Rufus z. Carr vs..
j. A. Stumpf. This was also an action
in assumpsit to recover of the defend
ant for labors on his farm in Charles
ton. The verdict in this case was for
the plaintiff to recover the sum of $50
and costs. May & Simonds appeared
! for the plaintiff and H. F. Graham and
| F. E. Miles for the defendant.
the next case on the docket, Frank
Blay VS.. the town of Norton went on
trial Friday morning. This was an
action in assumpsit to recover of the
defendant sum of money for the
board of pauper by the name of Mrs.
Bodette which the plaintiff claimed
belonged to the town of Norton. The
trial came to sudden end in the
afternoon when the defendant ten
dered the plaintiff a verdict of 81 &C

and it was accepted. The case will
probably go to the supreme court. j.
w. Erwin and JOSIAH Grout for the
plaintiff and Fl. w. Blake and May &
Simonds for the defendant.
The case of Wilbur Trip, by next
friend Eta Trip, Apt. vs. John Hoyt
went on trial Saturday morning. This
is an action in the case to recover 5000
of the defendant for the breaking of
the plaintiffs leg on the 31st day of
January 1908, at Barton Landing. The
facts as they appeared in evidence are
as follows: 1t seems that the plaintiff,
boy Is years old, with several other
little boys were stealing ride on
double team driven by Leslie Collins.
Trip was on the outside of the sled
with his knees resting on the edge
and holding on with his hands to the
side boards while his feet protected
from the sled. The defendant met
the team upon which the boys were
riding and turned out upon the wrong
side of the road which brought him on
the same side as the Trip boy and in
passing drove little too close so that
his sleigh struck the boys leg and
broke it. The defendant claims that
the boy was negligent and that there
| fore he cannot recover. The result of
the trial will be given next week. j.
| @. Stoddard for the plaintiff and w. w.
Miles for the defendant. After this
trial the court will take up more state
matters until the oath at which time
they will take a recess until after
| supreme court which meets the 81 tn.

Floods in New York and New jersey


The Ramapo river in New York
reached the highest point in its his
tory Monday and swept away dams,
bridges, houses and section of the
Erie Railroad track. Only two lives
were lost. George Noxou and a com
panion employed on E. H. Harriman's
estate in Arden, were overtaken by
the food while driving home from
Central valley and drowned. The
village of Ramapo was nearly obliter-
ated by the overf1owing of Persons
lake and the breaking of the dam at
its lower end. At Paterson, N. j., the
Passaic river flooded the city. The
damage to mill property is heavy,
parts of plants and stock having been
submerged. T b u of men,
women and children will be without
work for long time and it seems al
together probable that this flood will
cause greater direct loss of money
and property than the disastrous. fire
of two years ago. The gross loss then
was 100000 with 81 ,OO0,0OO insur
ance. The present food loss is estim-
ated at more than $4,000, 900, with no
insurance.

know that 5000 stalks OF large,

crowded, especially in times ol
drought; but 5000 small stalks
would uui suffer SO much. So th-
plan is not to stimulate the stalk
too much al the start, but to ap-
ply the manure later and put in

tractors made fortunes. Every one
of them would get a large number of
contracts and then sublet them at
starvation prices to persons in the
neighborhood, who would ride
through the winters cold and the
summers heat and receive barely
enough to feed a man and beast.
This is to be remedied and here
after nonresident contractors will
have to make their money some other
way. Hereafter no bid for carrying
the mail will be considered unless the
bidder shall agree to give his per-
sonal supervision to the performance
of the contract and "will reside on or
contiguous to the route"
That is, the bidder must be a resi-
dent of the territory regularly served
by a postofice on the route. This
will put an end to the letting of mail
contracts to non-residents to this
State, and give a better chance to our
home folks.
The persons living near a country
mail route will be pleased to learn
that they will no longer CATER the
first of next JULY have to pay the
m~ail-carrier for leaving their mail in
their boxes along the road. After the
first of next July the carrier on every
route "will be required to deliver
mail into all boxes and hang small
bags or satchels containing mail on
cranes or posts that may be erected
along the route" These boxes must
be located on the roadside so that
the carrier can deposit the mail with
out leaving his vehicle or horse. The
carrier will also be required to- re-
ceive any mail matter presented to
him on his route. This will be a
great convenience to many persons
in the country.-Chatham Record.

After dragging it's weary length
along for ten days or more, the trial
Of Ernest Haywood for the killing
of Ludlow Skinner in Raleigh last
February is now nearing its end, and
the result will probably be announced
before this issue Of The Progressive
Farmer reaches its readers. Writing
of the matter in Saturdays Char
lotte Observer, Col. F. A, Odds says:
"The long strain Of taking evil
dence in the Haywood case has end
ed, and to-day the long speech-mak-
ing began. It is the general belief
that the trial will not end before
Tuesday. There are a dozen attor-
neys to speak. All naturally desire
to be heard at length, and there is
really no limit as to time. Natural
ly, too, they desire to make a reputa-
ton in this notable case. The court
is working eight hours a day. Hay
WOOu COulIS6l nave uSNGI udu any
doubt of his acquitta1. One of them
asserted on the night of the killing
that they had a perfect line of de-
Tense. This attorney said to-day that
the statement widely circulated hat
some of the lawyers or all Of them
for Haywood, had desired the plea
of insanity to be made, was utterly
unfounded and that there was never
any such purpose. The general pub
lie still seems to have an dec hat
there will be a mistrial. Of course,
some persons believe there will be
absolute acquittal, some believe there
will be a verdict for manslaughter,
and some a verdict of murder in the
second degree. All sorts of guesses
are heard scores of times every day"
