COURT OPENS In LEX
INGTOHy
ABOUT FORTY CASES TO BE TRIED
ON The CRIMINAL SIEE AND
SIXTY ON THE CIVIL
DOCKET

Lexington, Feb. 1.-The regular
February term of court for this coun-
ty opened here this morning with
the Hon. Charles G. Dantzler of Or
|angeburg on the bench. Solicitor
zimmerman, Stenographer Frank
Anderson and the other officials of
the court were at their posts prompt
ly, and It was not long before the
court got down to business.
The newly elected clerk of the
court, Hon. Frank w. Shealy, had
the docket and everything in read
lness, and appeared as veteran at
the business During the last few
days Mr.. Shealy has had the inte-
Nor of the court house neatly clean
ed up and the jurors chairs cushion
ed. so that their seats might be com,
Portable and easy. Mr.. Shealy's
manner of discharging the duties
of clerk has been the subject of
much favorable comment.
Judge Dantzler's charge to the
grand jury was one of the strongest
ever delivered here. He first defin-
ed the obligations of grand jurors
and laid great stress upon their oaths
of office Judge Dantzler said that
jurors are presumed to represent
the good citizenship of the county
and good citizenship does not con-
sist merely in the observance of the
law, from sense of fear of the con-
sequences of its violation, but be-
cause it is right so to do" He stated
that it was the duty of grand jurors
to see to it that the law is obeyed in
their respective sections and said:
Jurors, as agents of the people,
have very solemn obligations to dis
charge. If those obligations are ig-
nored, the people suffer and the
peace of society is endangered" He
emphasized the fact that jurors are
the strong pillars upon which society
rests, and earnestly urged the strict
enforcement of all laws. The pro-
motion of the general welfare of So
ciety," he said. is the chief object
of the administration of justice in
this court, The rights of the State
are entitled to as much considera-
ton, certainly, as the liberties of
those charged with the commission
Of crime"
There is much work for the court
TO do, there being 40 odd cases on
the criminal docket and about so on
the civil side of the court.
1t is very likely that the murder
cases will be taken up just as soon
as the minor cases are disposed of.
AS yet nothing has been given
out as to the disposition of the case
S. L. Richardson, the white man who
has been in Jail here for the past
several weeks upon the charge of
fogery and obtaining money under
false pretenses. The outcome of this
case will be watched with general in
terest by the people all over the
State, on account of the many cases
resting against him and on account
OF the wide prominence of his family.
Judge Dantzler made it plain this
morning that he will expedite the
business Of the court as much as pos
sible, and admoniShed the witnesses
and jurors to be in their places pro-
mptly when their names are called.

CARE AND FEEDING OF TEAM.
As General Rule Farm Horses %
Not Receive the Proper Attention
Due Them.

Perhaps no subject is of more i'm
portance to the average farmer than
the proper care and feeding of the
teams that are relied upon to do the
farm work, and as a rule | do not be-
lieve that these horses receive the
care and consideration that they
should, says B. Lara. A good horse
used in common sense manner
should live to an old age and be in
condition to perform good work at all
times.
The essential requisites for a work
ing horse are good size, quick action
and strength. A high-spirited animal
or one of great value is not the most
desirable animal for the farmer. What
we need is good walker as much of
the usefulness and efficiency depends
upon that quality. This faculty is
quite as much matter of education
as inherited qualities.
Under ordinary circumstances IL is
judicious to use mares for working
teams upon farm. Except for short
time during the period of parturition
and Immediately after they are fully
as well adapted to farm work as are
geldings. They also possess the ad-
of annually bringing colts. and
in event of their being incapacitated
by accident or labor they may still be
kept With profit as breeders.

NOTES ABOUT SHEEP.

The man who goes into the sheep
business has a reasonable assurance
that good prices for mutton and wool
will continue for some time.
Much of the business of feeding
sheep must be learned by associating
with the stock and studying their hab-
it's and characteristics.
The most careful man will devote
much time to the study of his sheep.
and it is unwise for man without
experience to undertake the sheep
business on large scale
The safest way is to buy, say. 25
choice ewes and an excellent ram,
and secure your education with min
imum amount of expense.
Pasture that is ideal for cattle will
not be ideal for sheep. Sheep will
thrive better on shorter and finer
grass than on coarse grasses.
There are very few farms but what
would be better by having few
sheep on them.

PRESIDENT TAFT ATTENDS
CHARLOTTE CELEBRATION
Three Days Carniual in the North Carolina City Marks
the Anniversary of the Famous Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence.

Charlotte, N. C.-With three days of
military drills. band concerts,
speeches. athletic contests and other
kinds OF entertainment. the one hun
dred and thirty-fourth anniversary of
the Meckleaburg declaration has been
celebrated, and all North Carolina Is
happy In the knowledge that its pet
legend has been recognized by the
president of the United States; for
Mr.. Taft gave the occasion the official
sanction OF his presence and was the
chief feature of the celebration.
The carnival began Tuesday noon
when the Charlotte fire companies
gave an exhibition of their skill and
speed. At three o'clock there was a
drill by body Of United States cav
airy and band concert at the fair
grounds, followed by a league ball
game. The evening was given up to

the delivery of addresses by Gov.
Kitchin of North Carolina and the
chief executives of several other
states. at the fair ground. These were
preceded by a big athletic meet and
followed by cavalry drill, military
maneuvers and band concerts, with
another ball game thrown in for good
measure.
Two events made the evening not

BEaksAIREs A GOOD BREED.
For Improving the Condition Of the
Common Swine They Are
Excellent.

The Berkshire hog has been bred
for longer time, with view to i'm
provement, than any other known
breed of swine. The breed is to-day
acknowledged to be the best general
purpose hog.
They are well adapted to the needs
of the eastern farmer who makes pork
growing valuable appendage to his
dairy; they are adapted to the corn
belt. where an easy maturing animal
is desired; they are adapted to the
southern farmer who makes forage
play all important part in his rations
of food.
There is no brand that will breed 80
IT, to the marking characteristic of
the breed as the Berkshire, and they
are rightly named the aristocrats of
the show ring
The improved Berkshires of the
present day are well-established
breed possessing many definite and
valuable qualities, among which are
the following:
Body black. with smooth plum-col-
ored skin, soft fine hair. feet and tip
of tail white. with dash of white In
the face and many times a white nose.
and also some white jowl; forehead
and face broad; face dished with large
clear eyes and short snout; ears of
medium size, thin, soft, and carried in
an upright position: neck short and
broad on top, with jowl large and
full; shoulders broad on top and deep

of Red Men.
President Taft Arrives.
Just at ten o'clock Wednesday
morning the booming of 21-gun sa.
lutte by the Charlotte artillery notified
the people that President Taft had
arrived on his special train. Nearly
all the inhabitants and the thousands
of visitors were at the station, and as
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft alighted from their
car they were greeted with a mighty
roar of applause. A special recep
ton committee took the distinguished
guests in charge and conducted them
to the Selwyn hotel, where they were
welcomed by Gov. Kitchin, Senators
Simmons and Overman and the mayor
of Charlotte.
After meeting all the committeeman
and their wives, Mr.. and Mrs. Taft, to-
gether with Mrs. Stonewall Jackson.
the governor and mayor and other
distinguished visitors, were escorted
by guard of old soldiers to review
ing stand and witnessed great pa
rade of all the military and civic or
ganizations that could take part in the
celebration.
Mr.. Taft Speaks Twice.
A second installment of the music
festival in the Auditorium was
graced by the presence Of the city's
guests, and then all returned to
the reviewing stand, where President
Taft delivered an address. His words
were listened to with close attention
and frequently ELECTED loud applause.
Later in the afternoon the president
made a speech to the colored people
and the students of Biddle university.
From to $3.50 in the evening Mr..
and Mrs. Taft held a public re-
ception in the parlors Of the Sell
wyn hotel and shook hands with thou
sands of people.
Military drills, band concerts and
other entertainments were provided
for the crowds all Wednesday after
noon and evening, and the great cele-
/ bration closed in blaze Of glory.
Old Controversy Renewed.
The people of North Carolina, whose
DTOuueSI OOdSI Ado DoCA lhaI IhSih oAA7
cestors were the first Americans to
throw of the yoke of British rule, now
rejoice in the feeling that President
Taft has recognized the justice OF
their claim. but the century-old con-
troversy has broken out afresh. Many
historians refuse to accord to the pio-
neers of Mecklenburg county the
honor that is thus accorded them.
These historians allude to the story
as 1.-The Mecklenburg myth" and
thereby arouse the anger OF North
Carolinians.
According to those unbiased investi-
gators who have looked most deeply
into the matter, the Mecklenburgers
