Durham Superior court for the
trial of criminal cases is now on
in full swing. Judge Z. B. Jones
is presiding and Solicitor Jones
Fuller is looking after the inter-
ests of the State.
The first thing on docket Mon

Watts. J. T. Hicks, 7. J. Jones,
n. Crabtree. Will Woods, Bed
ford Hill, w. A. Ferrell, James
Pickett and J. II. Maynor.
The charge of Judge Jones was
what might be commonly termed
handing out the county a lemon.
In the beginning he stated that
he would not in all probability
come back to Durham to hold
court, but he wanted TO have a
say about the court house. 1T is
a shame" he said. that a county
with SIS, 200, 600 taxable property
should be crowded in a sweat
box like this for a court room.
Get out from this place, Get a
place where there is air for the
prisoners and where court room
can have a breathing space.
After the charge of the judge
began the investigation of the
cases before them.
James Al. eagle was sworn in
as court cryer.
The court then opened there
were 27l cases on docket and CT
that number so of them were
Jail cases, and the court intimat.
