of Joseph G. Sullivan charged With
the murder OF Col john NJ Cannon,
will begin Thursday morning. A true
bill was returned against Sullivan by
the grand jury today and this after
noon the court overruled d motion
made by defendant, the attorneys
asking for a continuance o: the case
to the next term of court
Formal arraignment Of the young
defendant was waived by his attorneys
and the three days allowed were
made in order to prepare for the
trial
d. Luther Boozer, prominent
planter of this county, was this after
noon found guilty of assault of high
and aggravated nature on an indict-
ment charging assault with intent to
kill. The court was engaged in the
trial Of this case the greater part of
the day. Owing to the prominence OF
all concerned there was a large crowd
present to follow the proceedings.
1t was charged that the defendant
on January 3, last year, armed with
pistol and a Winchester, drove or
walked into Goldville from his home
TWO miles distance and proceeded to
snoot up the town, first firing more
uAan dczen shots into the dwelling
Of Maj. l.. W. c. Blalock. Maj. Bla-
lock was in his bedroom at the time
and one shot was fired into his room
through a window and buried itself in
the mantel. Boozer then proceeded,
Ii was claimed, to the stores of Bla-
lock and others and after firing sew
eral shots into these buildings Sc
cured a piece Of iron and Knocked
out several windows and smashed
showcase or two. He was finally
overpowered and later brought to jail.
He gave bond, however, and return
ed home the same day.
Tie defense contended that the de-
fendant by reason of certain mis-
fortunes was not himself On this oc-
casion and was not responsible, it be-
Ing proved by various witnesses that
he suffered periodically from nervous
troubles which affected his mind.
The defendant declared himself on
the stand the whole affair was a
blank to him, that ne and Maj. Bla-
lock had some trouble about the en-
ployment CT some negroes who lived
on Boozer's place the year before and
this caused him to run amuck, al
though Blalock had offered to settle
the matter, it was claimed. Boozer is
now apparently in good health and he
recently announced his candidacy for
the legislature Motion for a new
trial was given in his case.

Ten Commandments.

At the June meeting of the Civic
league the following ten command
ments regarding open lots were adopt
ed by them and are worthy CT publica-
ton:
l. Love your neighbor's lot as you
do your own, but be sure to love your
own.
2 Don't plant tomato cans or rub
bish on unused land, their fruits are
withered civic pride.
8. Don't allow yourself or your city
to create dumps for waste. 1t can be
made to pay for its own destruction at
a profit.
4. Don't allow Lumbled down build
ings to stand on valuable land, they
are financially Uasteful; they create
filth, invite vice and are a menace to
life.
>. A fence that has ceased to be a
fence and has become an offense,
should be repaired or destroyed,
g. Unregulated advertising or un-
used land pays for maintenance of
public nuisance.
I. Two gardens may grow where
one dump has bloomed before.
8. School gardens are valuable ad-
juncts to education and recreation
They can be cultivated on an open
lot
9. Let the children play on the un-
used land so that they may become
strong and keep out of the hands o!
the law.
10 Let not an inth OF land be KEEP
in idleness. 1t has a divine right tc
/ bear fruits and flowers and ever serve
The highest interest Of man.
