almost been exhausted in Indiana,

Fire Broke Up Church Service.

Sunday night about fifteen min
utes before eight o'clock the alarm
of fire was given and soon many
people were on the streets looking
for the fire. Services in the differ
ent churches had just we'll COM
menced and as soon as the alarm of
fire was heard the people left the
churches at once.
Shiloh colored church was on fire
in the roof, which seemed to have
caught from f1ue.
The fire company responded
promptly and placed the engine at a
convenient well, and with engineer
II. L. Mcdowell at the engine, a
stream of water was soon plying on
the fire, extinguishing it in jiffy.
The fire boys are to be commended
for their promptness, as they were
all at church at the time of the
alarm, and although they had On
their Sunday clothes they rushed to
the engine and soon had the hose out
and the engine going.

SUPERIOR COURT In SESSION.
Two Weeks Term.

Halifax Superior Court is in ses-
sion this week with Judge C. C. Ly,
on presiding.
Court was convened at II o'clock
Monday and Immediately the follow.
ing grand jury was drawn:
W. E. Smith, foreman, Willie
Wood, W. T. Morecock, J. L. Price,
J. w. Butts, Geo. L. Knight, C. H.

JUDGE LYONS CHARGE.
After the drawing Of the grand
jury Judge Lyon delivered his charge,
covering the criminal law of North
Carolina and pointing out the duties
of a grand jury with force and eff
feet.
Amongst the crimes which Judge
Lyon emphasized is that of carrying
concealed weapons. He pointed out
to the grand jury that it was their
duty to present the name Of any one
whom they knew to be guilty of this
crime, regardless of who such per-
son is.
Of selling liquor without license,
he insisted that they present the
name of any one who is guilty
of this crime. He said that more
than so per cent. of the crimes
in this country grow directly
from the sale and use of liquor. He
referred to the awful tragedy in
Fayetteville last Saturday night.
If the law against carrying conceal
ed weapons and the law against the
sale of liquor were fully executed"
said Judge Lyon, there would be
much less use for courts"
Selling cigarettes to minors was
emphasized. The boys should be
protected against this evil. When
ever you see boy smoking a cigar
cite you know at once that some one
has committed a crime.
Judge Lyon held court in the
county in January, and all who
made observation of his work were
pleased with him. He is an able
Judge, fair and considerate to all,
and the people of the county are
glad to have him preside at the
courts for this season.
Mr.. ]. l.. Arlington was the sworn
officer for the grand jury.
Solicitor Kerr, Sheriff Patterson,
Clerk Gary and the other officers
were all in place and the work of
the court moved off promptly.
Solicitor Kerr has made fine i'm
preston on the people as a ready
and able officer for the State, and
the States interests are safe under
his care.
This term of the court is for two
weeks, the criminal docket being
small, which will give good time for
the irving of civil causes.
