There's scrubbing and sweeping to do
While mother is solving the problems

Father, dear father. come home with

It's lonely without any man;
And mother will rieve when she comes

NUMBER "a
Circuit Court Ended.

The regular August term of two
weeks and special term or one
week of our Circuit Court were
brought to close last Friday. AS
we said in the beginning # the
court the dockets were heavy and
in few days Judge Sykes and dis
trict Attorney Landrum saw that
it would be impossible to dispose
OF all the criminal business ut this
term and leave any time for the
civil docket, so all misdemeanor
cases were continued. There were
five convictions for felonies. Louis
Davenport, convicted for assault
and battery with intent to kill and
murder, was given three years;
Henry Nevells, same offsnse, three
years. Tom Ledbetter, who plead
ed guilty to pointing gun at Jako
Ledbetter, discharging it and kill
ing Ledbetter, was also given three
years. Col. Gus, convicted nf
manslaughter, upon recommend t
ton of mercy by the jury and np-
on representations by citizens u
the community was fined fifty q j.
lars Parson Nichols, who sIr, :
one of his deacons on Master Sun
day, in a little disturbance at the
church near Mooresville, was also
fined fifty dollars. 1t was shown
to the Court that the parson was n
good darkey and that his deacon
was both meddlesome aud quarrel
some, hence the fine instead of i'm.
prlsonment. The extreme beat
and close room in which court Was
held, made it very unpleasant for
all connected with it. 1t was Ia
borious session and the end Of 1t
was hailed with pleasure by the
Judge and all officials.

For Better Roads.

A delegation of business meu
and farmers appeared before tie
Board of Supervisors to ugre /
board to adopt the contract syst, i
of working the public road.
Among the number were Mess,S.

derson, w. B Redus, F. P. Nc
Elwrath, Oscar Vaughn, J NJ.
CLARK, w. M. Morris, w. s. John
son, John Francis and others.
There were informal talks upon
the subject and those present ex-
pressed themselves as being of the
opinion that it was Imperative that
the change be made. 1t was point
ed out that the county was baily
in need of better roads and that
under the new law the opportunity
was better afforded to get them.
Some OF them expressed the ~
selves as beiug in favor Of issniug
bonds and gettiug the money To
put th4 roads in good con il3on
right away. 1t wns contenied
that it Was economy to do this.
The concensus of opinion wa- tat
change was necessary in order to
give the county what is tIe ed y. IN
the way of public highways. ''a
board took no action In the ma Ell
but will take it up at a fnl r.
meeting and give it due considtra-

Mystery AS TO Whereabouts.

Toxic, BY Cable.-Tokio is unad-

movements Of the Russians, and Is in
doubt whether the remnant Of their
feet is still at Port Arthur or is en-
route to Vladivostock. Late Wednes-
Gav afternoon a telegram reached the
Navy Department saying that seven
Russian ships have been reported as
passing Fort l.azarcff. The report
was not circumstantial II did not
give the character Of the ships or the
direction in which they were sailing.
It is anticipated that the japanese. by
their activity. will speedily determine
the whereabouts and intentions Of the
Russians.
