SUPERIOR CURT
CONVENES FOR
BUSY Session
AN EXCELLENT GRAND JURY
This Week Taken Up With
Civil Docket

The November term of Sumter Su-
perior court was formally convened
Monday morning with Judge q. A. Lit
tlejohn presiding and Solicitor Cen
eral J. r. Williams representing the
state. Jurors answered promptly to
the roll call, and very little delay was
experienced in getting the machinery
of the court In motion.
The grand jury an exceptionally
able one, organized by electing Mr..
James A. Pinkston foreman. The grand
jurors serving at this time are Messrs.
E. B. Everett, l.. w. Hays, G. A. Mcneil
T NJ Merritt, Edward Zimmerman, Sr.,
B. F. Easterlin, r. NJ. Andrews, s. ].
Jordan, W. H. Spann, L. NJ. Hansford,
G. W. Montgomery A. D. Gatewood, E.
R. Stewart, T. NJ. Furlow, E. Y. An
drews, c. c. Sheppard, H. r. Johnson,
Rev. j. w. Stokes, John T. Taylor.
The charge Of the court to the grand
jury consumed nearly one hour, and
was one of the strongest and ablest
ever delivered to a like body in Sum-
ter county
Not only were the usual crimes such
as gaming, selling whiskey, carrying
concealed weapons and like infrac-
tons of the law fully covered, as was
the sale of cocaine and similar harm
full narcotics, but the non-enforcement
of the law, the seeming disregard in
many instances for the law, was
stressed.
Judge Littlejohn addressed the jury
at length in this connection upon the
recent strike upon the Georgia rail
way, where trains were held up and
communities Inconvenience greatly
and all because the states officers
would not enforce the law and protect
the railway company. A case in Ma
con was especially dwelt upon.
The seeming contempt of those in
terfering with the movement of trains
to the presence of Bib county off
GERS and police, gave way, however
when United States marshal mounted
the train. 1t was the respect for the
United States laws, the court said, that
overawed the crowd and prevented
further interference with the train.
The state laws could be enforced, he
said, If officers and others would dc
their duty. and the strong arm of the
federal government would not have to
be invoked if this we're done. The
charge was strong and direct, through
out, and made most favorable i'm
preston upon the grand jury and 9TH
ers present as we'll.
The court will be kept busy this
week with the trial of civil cases, oil
which there is large docket, includ-
ing a score of divorce cases, most OF
them of colored people.

Streets Paved With Gold.

Recently an American mining en-
gineer was looking over some aband-
oned gold smelters at Mazapil. an
old Mexican town buried in the
mountains. says writer iii Techni-
cal World Magazine for December.
When he returned to civilization he
carried with him several bricks from
the buildings of Mazapil and some
samples Of Stag which he turned
over to the company assayer.
The mining engineer had suspected
that the crude mining operations in
vogue at the time of the former op-
erations there would be some loss in
extracting the gold from the ore,
but he was hardly prepared for the
assayer's report. stating that the
bricks and Stag ran nearly five hun.
dred dollars to the ton. gold, silver
and copper.
He reported thematter to his CON-
pany and quiet investigation was
ordered. when it was ascertaned
that the sssayer's figures were not
exaggerated in the least and that
the streets of Mszapil were literally
paved with gold and silver. to say
nothing of a high percentage of the
baser metals, copper lead and zinc.
