During the day both factions have
been gathering arms and ammunition.
On the border line of the two states

SHORT AND FAR BETWEEN
New Hanover La No Civil Court Be-
fore Next April and Then for Only
One Week,

The terms of Civil court in New
Hanover are short and far between.
Several attorneys We're discussingWhen
the next term would take place yester-
day and upon investigation found there
would be no civil court until April
9th and then for only one week. There
will be a term of criminal court be-
ginning January 22nd but there is
some doubt as to whether it is for n
or two weeks. The calender shows one
week but according to the act passed
by the legislature it should be two
weeks. If it is two weeks it will be
insufficient to dispose of the number
of cases on the docket for there are
several capital cases. McGraw is to
be tried for the murder of his mother
in-laW; Thomas c. Lamb who is
charged with numbering a white wom-
an in the southern section of the city:
a negro for burglary and there are
also other important cases. There will
De no criminal court after the Janu-
airy term until April End when there
will be one week. Judge Webb will be
in this district during the next six
months.
