Pharmacy Board Upheld.

Durham, March 17.-In the case
of Charles B. Thomas, Of Thomasville,
against the Pharmacy board in which
the plaintiff sought a mandamus to
force the board to renew his license
as druggist at Thomasville, Judge
Biggs in Superior court today decid-
ed against Thomas and upheld the
action Of the board in refusing to re-
issue the license.
This case, it will be recalled, was
one in which Thomas pleaded guilty
to selling cocaine and paid the fine
assessed against him.
Thomas then, it appears, made an
application to have his license, which
had been declared forfeited, reissued
which the pharmaceutical board re.
fused to do. The case was then later
taken to the courts to compel the
board to issue the license, but Thorn.
as lost his contention. Whether ar
appeal will be taken or the matter
now dropped is not known at this
time.

Coed Roads Meeting.

! There was quite a representative
gathering of citizens of the county
at Halifax Monday to hear the ad-
dress of Mr.. w. L. Spoon on the sub
ject of good building.
Mr.. w. E. Daniel, of Weldon, act
ed as chairman and introduced the
speaker. Mr.. Spoon spoke in an easy
pleasant manner and showed that he
thoroughly understood his subject.
He expressed his pleasure at coming
to the county and urged his hearers
to get to work and build permanent
roads. This must be done in order
to keep pace with other sections.
Mr.. Spoon said that sand clay roads
are the most practical for this section
and showed very plainly how to build
them. The best of all the good re-
suits that would follow the building
of good roads throughout the county.
The speaker said that sand clay roads
have been tried and have proven a
success.
At the close of the address, DR.. A.
S. Harrison, of Enfield Superintend-
ant of public school, made few ap-
propiate remarks, saying that good
roads and schools GO together. He
moved that permanent county or
ganization be effected. The motion
was carried and the following officers
elected

The above officers with DR.. A. S.
Harrison, of Enfield, and Mr.. Eugene
Johnson, of Littleton compose the
working committee for the county.
This committee will be pleased to
confer with the township supervisors
or individuals at any time on the sub
iect Of road improvement. We hope
this move is going to mean much for
our county and that it will only be
few years when we will have roads
equal to any in the State. THE CON-
MONWEALTH stands ready to help the
committee in any way it can.

COURT In SESSION.
The Powell Case Will Come I'D for q
Hearing To-day.

The March term Of Halifax count,
Superior Court convened al Halifa,
Monday. Judge Geo. w. Ward, wht
gave such general satisfaction at the
Feby. court is presiding. Mr.. J. H
Kerr, the able solicitor of the district
was present and ready to prosecute
for the State. Sheriff J. A. House
and his deputies, as we'll as Clerk S
M. Gary were present and ready tc
perform their duties.
The Grand Jury was drawn as fol-
lows Hudson, J. H. Over
street, H. S. Qualls, w. M. Hudson,
C. F. Hawkins, H. B. Terry, J. E.
Hardy, L. C. Hawkins, c. c. Avent,
J. M. Aycock, w. T. Fulghum, G. T.
Fulghum, E. B. Dickens, Walter Kee-
ter, J. M. McMunay, foreman, C. K.
Howell, Sandy Glasgow, M. P. Craw-
ley. w. 7. Hawkins was appointed
as officer to the grand Jury.
We did not get to court in time to
hear the charge of Judge Ward to
the grand Jury, but have heard it
spoken of in very high terms. Judge
Ward is making a very favorable i'm
preston upon those who come in con-
tact with him. There were right
many small cases on the criminal
docket and they were disposed of
very rapidly. The case of Sue Cow
ington. from Scotland Neck was con-
tinued to the next term of court.
A true bill for murder against the
man in the Brinkleyville section for
killing his son was returned to the
grand jury, but the solicitor annouc-
ed that he would only ask for YER
dict in the second degree.
The case that has created by far
more interest than any other that
has ever been heard in the county is
that of State vs.. E. E. Powell ST.,
for the killing Of officer C. w. Dunn,
and an assault with intent to kill
Representative A. Paul Kitchin and
State Senator E. L. Travis. The
grand jury returned a true bill for
murder Monday evening. The case
will come up for a hearing the first
time this morning Thursday at 9
o'clock.
Powell was brought from Raleigh
Sunday and is now in jail at Halifax
At this writing "Wednesday morn
ing) it is impossible to say what turn
the case will take at the hearing to-
morrow, for the attorneys for the
defense have not indicated whether
the prisoner will plead insanity, ask
for a continuance, or a removal to
another county. The State will in
sist on a trial for murder in the first
degree.
Court is being held in the new
court room.
