Coming down to later times, that I
may not monopolize the Sunday Mes
senger's valuable space, I will sketch
one Or two Of the judges who presided
over this Fayetteville bar, so rich in
prestige and historic interest.
Judge Caldwell rode this circuit for
several years after the civil war. His
knowledge OF the law was complete
and exhaustive. and his Interpretation
and execution OF it inflexible and just.
But he was not only q terror to evil
doors, but to innocent bystanders, who
did not know where the lightning
would strike. Caldwell was Of stern
and unbending bearing and demeancr,
a Martinez Of court discipline, who now
and then made sheriff. crier, bar and
the general public pass a bad quarter
Of an hour. But, like many other Mar
tinets, his bark was worse than MS
bite, and he was at heart a very coed
man. 1t was said that his distinguish
ing characteristic on the bench was
watchfulness Of the rights Of plaintiff
or defendant. that they should not fail
OF justice. and OF witnesses, that they
should not be brow-beaten by counsel,

Judge r. P. Buxton was on the su-
perior court bench both by appointment
and election. He was remarkable for
the a in all details with which he
made up his cases; and, in capital
~felonies, the accuracy and minuteness
with which he insisted on the taking
Of evidence which he rec~apitulated
word for word, in his charge to the
jury. His personal qualities we'll fitted
him to wear the ermine and dispense
justice. He was courteous and afable
in bearing; patient and f%orbearing in
the tedium Of the business of court,

that he has no doubt that the rural
guards will cooperate with the Ameri-
can marines and bluejackets in quit
ing leaders, who may take to the bush
and make trouble.
Do Not Fear Rioting.
Regardless Of the threats of dyna-
hitting made by turbulent leaders in
Cuba, American army officers do not
share. the opinion that serious riGiing
will follow American interventisA. Al
tho marines and bluejackets are not
fully equipped for service in the field
at long distances from the ships thew
can be distributed very generally from
Havana by rail, as tentage and other
supplies were sent some Of the marine
detachments. Keeping in touch with
their ships by rail, the marines can do
guard duty very satisfactorily at
points where disgruntled leaders may
threaten the property and lives Of for
eigners., .,-<@. -.S b.
The. marines, are always spoken Of
as diplomatic soldiers because they can
land in any part of the world and pro-
tect American interests without caus-
ing the excitement thatg letchment
of. soldiers always produces on foreign
soil An army always snaks of a for
eign invasion, but marines and blue
Jackets do not. cause such alarm. Con
seqently 1t is believed that Secretary
Taft, who is eminent as a diplomat

hope of handling the situation with the

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-The decision of
the Minnesota Transfer company to
give free switching to all future indus
tries locating on the Transfer tracks
in the twin-city Midway district, it
is reported here will cause Swift & Co.
to quit South st. Paul. Officials Of
the Swift company, when asked today
regarding the matter, refused to say
anything.
The report here is that Swift & Co.
will abolish the South St. Paul plant
as soon as the new establishment Of
Armour & Co. in Minneapolis is opened
for business. If this is done, the Great
Western road, it is said, will lose it's
advantage in the packing house trade
out Of the twin cities and will sacrifice
considerable sum in earnings. ~
