Case Goes 10 Higher Court.

The case Of Major Guthrie,
colored, who was convicted by
Durham superior court of muir
der, has been appealed to the
supreme court. The appeal was
based on the following excep-
tions:
1. Exception as to the evi.
dence of Lula Stallings that the
dead woman was in good health
the evening before her death,
Lula Stallings not being an ex-
pert.
2. The court allowing Louis
Adkins to tell of a conversation
he had with Major Guthrie, this
conversation being convincing in
nature, and before the fact had
been established that a crime
had been committed.
8. The action of the court in
overriding a motion to set aside
the case because there was not
sufficient evidence to convict.
A. The fact that Juror Hor-
ner was sitting on this case when
he had heard of the sudden death
of his child, killed by an auto
mobile, this being before the
defendants counsel and before
the charge of his honor. 1t is
claimed that the condition of said
juror was not that to pass on life
and death issues.

TENDRlLs.
Moving Parts Which Are the @Brains
Of Plant Life

MOVING Pnrts Wntch Are tn0 -brUtno
Of Plant Life"
There are two classes of plants
which are melted by mans presence
to describe certain definite move
ments. One class, the sensitive
plants, retract their leaflets as we
approach them, as IL they resented
any attempt at closer intimacy,
while the other class. comprising oil
those vines which develop climbing
organs called tendrils, will reach
out toward us if We place our hands
in contact with them and will even
use a finger as support to climb
upon. We know that these tendrils
will wind just as readily about
twig or u grass stem, but as one
feels these sensitive strands multi
ply their encircling coils about ones
fingers there almost seems to be es-
tablished between us and the vege-
table world a more intimate rela-
tionship than has ever existed be-
fore.
Tendrils are indeed capable of
exhibiting faculties and going
through evolutions more wonderful
perhaps than many of us realize.
II is only after We have seen them
at work, testing with their sensitive
tips the objects they come in con-
tact with, apparently considering
their suitability as a support and
then accepting or rejecting them,
as the case may bet is only then
that we realize how justly they have
been called the "brains of plant
life"
The thoroughness with which
these wandering tips explore their
surroundings is illustrated by an in
stance observed in a grapevine
tendril. A cherry branch whose
leaves had been variously punctured
and scalloped by insects hung near
the tendril, and a particular leaf
had just one small hole in its blade,
not over three-sixteenths OF an inch
| in diameter. So careful had been
the exploration of the leafs surface
that this one small hole had been
discovered by the tendril, which had
thrust itself nearly three inches
through the opening. - Harper's
Magazine.

HAMLET SENT TO JURY.
Night Eatchman Who Shot Negro Tried
by Mayor Monday.

Charles Hamlet, who has been
under bond since the shooting of
the negro, Bill Walker, at the
plant of the Golden Belt Manu-
featuring Company, has been
given a preliminary hearing be-
fore the mayor, this taking place
Monday morning. The bond re-
quired of him until the negro was
able to attend trial was $500.
Monday, when the mayor heard
the facts the bond was reduced
to S100, which was given.
The cause of this trouble is
still fresh in the minds of our
readers, how, while Hamlet was
on duty as night Waterman at
the plant of the Golden Belt
Manufacturing Company, the
negro Walker came in to his
work and when halted by the
Waterman refused to stop. The
shooting followed and Walker
was carried to Lincoln hospital,
while Hamlet gave bond in the
sum of $500 for his appearance
at the preliminary hearing.
Now the case will be taken up
by the grand jury, and settle
ment in the superior court will
be permanent.

A Tart Old Lady.

In Indiana a good many years
ego a certain old lady, summoned
as a witness, came into court wear
ing a large poke bonnet, such as
was then much affected by rural
folks. Her answers TO the ques-
tions put to her being rather in
distinct, the court requested her to
speak louder, though without much
success.
"The court cannot hear a word
you say, my good woman" said the
Judge. ''Please to take of that
huge bonnet Of yours"
"Sir," she said composedly and
distinctly enough this time, "the
court has a perfect right to bid
a gentleman take off Lis hat, but ii
has no right to make a lady remove
her bonnet"
MADAM" replied the judge, "you
seem so well acquainted with the
Law that / think you had better
come up and take seat with US on
the bench"
81 thank your honor kindly" she
responded, dropping a low courtesy
to the court, "but there are old
women enough there already
