A Statement

Such food of communications
descended upon Us this week that we
Weld our editorial space to our con-
tributors. The printers have labored
faithfully, even working overtime, to
get the paper out on time, but with
about seven and half columns OF
type to set, all on one subject, at
the time this is written it seems
seems doubtful whether we can get
all the type up without delaying
our issue. OF course we cannot
give our whole paper to one subject,
however interesting it may be, es-
pecially when it is court week.
There is of course a limit to our
ability to handle all the matter that
the parties to this controversy choose
to submit, especially when the av-
erage length of these articles is over
two columns. What we can DO tow
ard giving full discussion OF the sub
pct is done freely and willingly, but
should the letters increase IN num-
Der and length, We cannot publish
All of them the same week, because
we haven't force enough to do the
extra mechanical work required.
We can only promise to do our
hest and remember this: first come,
hrst served. If we have to hold over
any till the next week, it will be the
last submitted, it matters not who
the writer may be.
We intend to give all parties
sluare deal as far as possible.

CRIMINAL COURT
PROCEEDINGS.
RECORD OF CASES DISPOSED OF
Ibis HONOR'S CHARGE
READY TO ADJOURN.

The criminal court convened
Monday at the usual hour, his
honor, Judge R W Memminger, pre-
siding. Solicitor StOll and Steno-
ghapher Wood were on hand and
the business of the court was enter
ed upon without de'ay.
Judge Memmingef ;old the grand
jury that inasmuch as they had al
ready been fully instructed as to
their duties by his predecessor, ne
he would make no formal charge.
Proceeding then in a colloquial way
he called attention to several mat
ters that came within the scope OF
their power and duty, urging them
withal to see that the affairs Of the
of the county are being properly
conducted and that the county is
getting full equivalent for its
money. On his previous visit here
he had issued a rule for the public
square to be inclosed land the practice
of using it as hitching yard to be
abandoned. He was pleased to note
the improvement resulting from car
rying out this order. The law
should be respected and to have a
clean and slightly court house and
grounds tended to increase that
respect. "All the other counties
in this circuit have recently erected
magnificent new court houses; you
have an adequate building, no doubt
take care of it," He believ-
ed in making the jury rooms COM
fertable to lessen the hardship of
doing jury duty. He stressed the
the Importance of investigating all
testimony as to its truth. A mans
natural tendency (Orientals except
ed) is to tell the truth and it re-
uuires some influence to cause him
him to lie. Bearing false witness
for is crime the same as bearing 1t
against ones neighbor. When a
man has done wrong he should
plead guilty and trust to the mercy
of the law-not try to bolster up his
case with false witnesses Ia prac-
tical application of this abstract
principle was made later). The
grand jury can do a great deal to-
wards deterring witnesses from giv-
ing false testimony.
Following are the cases desposed
of:
The State VS. Mott Cooper, defen-
dant pleaded guilty to assault with
intent to kill and carrying conceal
ed weapons, and was sentenced to
one year on chaingang or State
penitentiary at hard labor.
The State vs. Douglas Thomas, &C
cepting, receiving and storing alco-
holic liquors, Defendant pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to pay a
fine of 5000 or be confined at hard
labor on the chaingang or in the
State penitentiary for six months.
The State vs. Ellis Stone, Harrison
Stone, Thomas Washington, Morris
Stone and Chesley Washington,
larceny of livestock. Guilty as to
Harrison Stone, Thomas Washing
ton and Ellis Stone, with recommeE-
dation to mercy. Sentenced one
year each to penitentiary or chain
gang. RI Kirk, Esq, the defen-
dants' counsel, moved for a new
trial. The motion being over
ruled he gave notice of appeal to
the supreme court and defendants
were admitted to bail.
Peter Frazier pleaded guilty to
house-breaking and larceny and
was sentenced to the chaingang
for eighteen months.

State with a helpless paralytic would
be unwise. The law was vindicated
when he confessed his guilt and re-
ceived his sentence, and from what
we can learn, the outcome of the
case caused general satisfaction.
In imposing sentence, Judge Men,
minger feelingly remarked that
higher power than the court had
already punished him for his sin and
the sentence would be light accord
ingly. The minimum penalty for
bigamy in this State is six months
Imprisonment and the maximum
punishment five years in the peni-
tentiary. Phelps was taken to the
north-bound train Tuesday afternoon
and went his way rejoicing. We
understand that he was bound for
Greensboro. going to the faithful
wife No. 1"-the loyal soul who
stood so staunchly by him who had
betrayed her trust-and that she
will try to nurse his broken body
back to health and strength. 1t is
to be hoped that she will succeed,
but the opinion of the doctors with
we have discussed the case is that
! he will never be much better than
he is now. e.
Joe Chandler, aggravated assault
and battery. Guilty and sentenced
to chaingang for five years.
In connection with the above case
rather dramatic incident occurred.
Want Mccullough, one of the defen-
dant's witnesses, told a story which
in the eyes of court was so palpably
a fabrication, that he ordered the
witness indicted for perjury. The
grand jury in few minutes return
ed true bill, the last handed out
for this term. Tuesday afternoon,
about six o'clock, the grand jury
was discharged.
The State vs. Andrew Cain, as
sault and battery of high and aggra-
waited nature. Defendant pleaded
guilty and was fined $50 with alter
native of 60 days on chaingang.
Messrs Lee & Fishburne represented
the defendant.
Fred Hamilton was convicted of
house-breaking and larceny and as
sault with intent to kill. Sentenced
to chaingang three years for house
breaking and larceny and one year
for assault of aggravated nature.
Peter Davis, larceny of livestock.
Guilty and sentenced to eighteen
months on chaingang and fined
s1O0. Messrs Hirsch & Hirsch and
G M Beasley, Esq, represented the
defendant.
The State vs. Want Mccullough,
perjury. Continued.
The State VS. Harold Wheeler,
Buffkin Kennedy and Buster Ken
nedy, burglary and larceny. Hirsch
& Hirsch, attorneys for defendants,
entered a plea of guilty of COM
pound larceny on the third couut
in the indictment. Harold Wheel
er was given 500 fine or six montl s
in State reformatory in Florence.
Buster and Buffkm Kennedy re-
ceived sentence of 500 each, with

Attorneys: Messrs Lee q. Fish

The State VS. Cain Green and
