Especial to the News and Observer)
Windsor, N. c., May 8.-Bertie Su-
perior Court closed Friday night on
the rendering of the verdict in the
homicide case of State VS. Jas. P. Spi-
vey. which lasted two days. 1t was
a long and hard fight, which resulted
in a verdict of not guilty, after the

prosecution consisted of w. r. Daniel.
Solicitor, assisted by David Bell, OF
Enfield and ]. b. Martin, of the Wind
sor bar The defendants counsel
were Hon. Francis ID. Winston and
W. r. Johnson, Esq. The defendants
plea was self-defense. Judge w. Il.
Councill's charge was fair and in
structive as to the law bearing on the
case. The arguments to the jury for
the State and defense were strong
and exhaustive. All civil cases were
continued by consent of attorneys
Judge Council received news from
home that he had a bouncing boy to
arrive and of course ne desired to so
home and make the youngsters ac-
uuaint2nce.

No Contempt Proceedings.

When the attorneys signed
the agreement continuing all
civil cases for the term there was q
right hearty laugh INDUCED in by the
Judge and the lawyers when some
member of the bar suggested to the
court that they hoped the judge would
not put all the lawyers in jail for con-
tempt, for continuing the civil cases.
Judge Council seemed to enjoy the
joke and especially the kindness OF
"rs in letting him go home a week
earlier. Judge CouncIl has endeared
himself to the members of the bar
for his fair and courteous manner on
the bench.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
Closing Exercises of the 0csls Schoo
Friday Night.

Friday Night.
The annual commencement eXer-
cises of the Ocala High school took
place at the armory Fridsy night. A
large number of the friends of the
| graduates and Of the school were pres
| ent to witness the interesting exer-
cises and it was greatly regretted that
the building was not large enough to
accommodate as many as would liked
to have been present.
The stage had been quite prettily
decorated with palms and cvergreens
and draped across the wall was a
green banner with the letters 80. H.
S, i04" and the class motto, mon
finitGm sed coeptum" in gold letters.
Occupying seats on the rOstrum
were the three graduates, Miss Addie
Ray Coppleman, Miss Edna JetfOrds
and Mr.. Harry Clinton Shaw, and
Rev. H. w. Little. Judge w. S. Bull
lock, Hon. r. A. BurfOrd, Supt. w.
ID. earn and the three teachers in the
High School department, viz: Mr..
John H. Workman, Mr.. W. T. Gary
and Miss Della Moore.
Mr.. Burford presided at the exer-
cises and did so in the excellent man
ner which he is noted for doing all
things well.
DR.. Little opened the exercises with
a beautiful prayer after which Miss
Louise Scott gave piano solo.
1.-The Battle of Life" by Miss Cap

and she was very literally applauded.
Opportunities" was the caption of
Mr.. Shaw's GRAFTON and in it he sus- !
tanned the reputation he has already /!
won as thinker and speaker of great !
promise. His address was splendidly |
delivered and won for him new
friends and admirers.
1t is a matter Of regret that owing
to the late hour at which the exercises
were concluded we are unable to give
a more extended notice of al the
speeches, which we'll deserve it.
Each of the graduates were over
whelmed with bouquets of exquisite
flowers and large number of gradual
ing presents from their friends.
A piano solo by Miss Janet Wealth
ers was rendered after the reading of
Miss Jeffords aud between the other
numbers a chorus composed of schOl-
ars,from both the Grammar school and
the High Scool, lea by DR.. w. c.
Lindsay sang several songs beautiful
ly.
Judge w. :. Bullock, one of our
most distinguished speakers, delivered
the baccalaureate address, which was
filled with excellent advice and words
of encouragement to the three young
who last night launched
their ships on the sea of life and who
have all of its battles and discourage
ments before them.
The diplomas were awarded to the
graduates by Supt. earn with few
well chosen and appropriate remarks.
After receiving these credentials of
the good work accomplished by them
during their years of school life, the
exercises concluded with a song,
'Adieu" and the graduating exercises
for 1904 were over.
