NO robson COURT
No Calendar Has Been
Made for This Week
The Lawyers are BusiIy Occupied
With Their Own Case and Judge
PEBBLES is Not Expected On
Monday.

The Robson county people are to
be without a court this week.
There will be a court there, but it
will be the special one beginning OH
next Thursday, when Judge PEBBLES is
to try the contempt case.
The court calendar for the Seventh
Judicial district sets out that civil
term of the court, for one week, is to
be held in Robson county, beginning
on the 23rd of May with Judge f.
3. PEBBLES presiding, but the report
here yesterday was that no court
would be held
In the first place it is understood
that Judge PEBBLES will not be at
Lumberton to hold court tomorrow,
as it has been stated that he has gone
to his home in Northampton county
for medical treatment
The second reason is that the
Robson county lawyers have made
no calendar for the court, and that
as it is a term for sivil cases only
none have been arranged to be heard.
The lawyers of the county are ex-
tremely busy just now in getting
ready for their own case, as they are
to appear before Judge PEBBLES on
Thursday.
The jury list has been drawn by
the commissioners, this having been
done some time ago, in obedience to
law, but no jury is expected to be
empanelled. There has. been no for
NAL agreement among the lawyers of
hobeson not to try their cases at this
term, but there appears to be a tacit
understanding that no case is to be
tried.
The next term after this week is to
be a term for criminal cases only and
it is for the 25th of July. Judge
George H. Brown is set down as the
judge to preside, but he has ex-
changed courts with Judge William
A. Hoke, who is to go to Robson on
the 25th. The next civil term is for
the 18th of September, and is for two
weeks. The next court for Judge
PEBBLES is for Union county, begin
ming on the first of August, a criminal

The A. and NJ. alumni had their turn
last night, the annual address followed
by the annual smoker in the big audi
forum of Pullen Memorial Hall.
The address was delivered by Mr.. H.
L. Bonitz, of Wilmington, a graduate
of the class of 1893.
Mr.. Bonitz was introduced by Mr.. J.
NJ. Bizzell, who was graduated from
the n. and NJ. college in 1895, now as
sistant professor of Agricultural
Chemistry at Cornell University, New
York, and president of the Alumni as
ISOLATION.
The lecturer began by speaking of
the quallhcationS a young man should
possess in order to succeed in life He
believed that the success of the A. and
Nj. graduates was due to the fact that
they were taught that it was the dis
eliminating brain behind the trained
hand that accomplished things. Labor
intellectually applied was the keynote
TO success. When he had delivered
his Grafton at commencement ten years
ago he had beheld in himself a youth
ful oratorical wonder. He had visions
of political career, possibly even a
seat in the United States Senate, but
he had since been convinced that his
career as an orator had ended with
that day.
Mr.. Bonitz urged the keeping up CT
the interest in the Alumni association,
ana regretted the difficulty of getting
the alumni together in large numbers
he urged the young graduates to make
places in the world for themselves by
their energy Skill and application, and
not stain the fair escutcheon of the
college by any failure due to sloth or
neglect OF opportunities.
