ter and the police officials on
their vigilance in hunting down
and bringing before the bar of
justice all who are engaged in
the liquor traffic in Columbus.
On the subject Of gam bling,
the report AYERS that this per
nicious habit is extensively in
dulged in throughout the county,
especially in the form of crap
shooting. which is practiced by
both white and black and which
forms an evil that the law should
take steps to abate. The carry
ing of concealed weapons is also
reported to be on the increase,
and the report suggests that
correction on the part of the
minor courts would not be amiss
along this line.
Both the jail and county farm
were examined and it was found
that at each place the prisoners
are humanity treated, properly
clothed and furnished with an
abundant amount of wholesome
food. while the sanitary condi-
tIons were found to be good. The
books of the various county of
fcers were examined and found
to be neatly and correctly kept.
In conclusion the report re
turns thanks to District Attor-
ney Mitchell and other officers
of the court for services render
ed and compliments Judge
Sykes upon the able charge
which he delivered to the grand
jury at the beginning of its Ia
borS.

adjourned shortly before noon
Saturday. The Investigations
of the body were thorough and
complete, and the report full and
comprehensive. We would very

The report states that while
in session the body examined
161 witnesses and returned %
true bills. The members Of the
grand jury deplore the fact that
the law against the sale of liquor

Circuit Court.


The third week Of the n OVEN
Der term of circuit court began
Monday morning, at which time
the civil docket was taken up,
the State docket having been
completed on last Saturday. The
first case to be tried was that of
the Flies Liquor Co. vs.. w. B.
PEBBLES, executor of the estate
Of Mrs. Bette PEBBLES, deceased.
The object of the suit was to re-
cover the sum of S156116 claimed
to be due the concern named as
plaintiff, and which concern was
represented by Gen. Z. T. Sykes,
while Mr.. z. 2. Landrum repre-
scented the interests of the de-
PENDANT. The suit resulted in
judgment against the plaintiff
for the above stated amount.
The next cause to come up
was the suit of Mrs. Celeste
Dismukes against the Sovereign
Camp, WOodmen of the World,
and its object was to secure the
payment of the sum Of $4,000
claimed to be due the plaintiff on
an insurance policy which was
issued upon the life of her son,
A. D. Dismukes, deceased. The
circumstances in this case are
familiar to the readers of THE
DISPATCH, having been reviewed
in its columns at the time the
suit was filed. Mr.. Dismul1es
died soon after having been &C
cepted as an applicant for insur-
auce by the Woodmen of the
World, and the contention Of the
defense was that the policy was
not in full force but was merely
81 process of issuance at the time
of his death. The plaintiff claim
ed that the policy was valid, and
therefore asked for verdict for
the full amount named ia the
face thereof. The sum named
in the policy was 100000,
while the dead man was also to
be allowed the sum of $4,000
for the erection of a monuments
making a total of 81, 10000, for
which amount Judgment was
awarded. The plaintiff was rep
resented by Mr.. z. p. Landrum,
while Col. VIM. Baldwin looked
after the interests of the defend
ant.
Just before the adjournment
of court yesterday afternoon the
the case of ". A. Brown, vs..
the Southern railway vas settled
by compromise. Mr.. John
Brown, a son Of the plaintiff. re
ceived injuries on the Southern
galway which finally resulted in
his death. The amount named
in the original bill was SO, 10000
but after a conference between
Col. VIM. Baldwin, representing
the plaintiff. and Messrs. A. F.

the North pole. said:
THE expedition upon which l have
been putting my energies for the past
two years is now lifted out of the
realm of uncertainty and II I am alive
shall start north again next summer in
another attempt upon the North pole.

will permit the expedition to fail for
lack of the additional necessary funds.
The new vessel will possess such
shape as well enable her to rise to the
pressure of the ice foes and escape de-
struction. She will possess such feat
ures of bow as will enable her to
smash ice in her path and will contain
such engine power as will enable her
to force her way through the ice.

this ship to the north shores of Grant
