COURT ABI1uRhs


The July term OF the oireuit court
will 60 into history as the longest,
most tedious in the history of the
county. Beginning on the 18th
and winding up ON the 2Sth, all
were willing to see the finish.
AS most county people are aware,
nearly half the term was taken up
in The trial of the land case between
L. NJ. McClung and Clifton Folks,
the verdict of the jury in former
trial having been set aside by judge
Holt, or a new trial granted on
some ground. 1t is perhaps the
longest, most hotly- contested case
ever tried in this court, the plain
tiff being represented by H. M.
Calhoun of Franklin and J. M. Co.
law of Monterey. and the defen-
dent by Curry and Timberlake of
Staunton and A. L. Jones of the
local bar.
Every conceivable phase of evil
dence has been produced, includ-
ing, maps and blue prints of a half
dozen surveyors, old grants, pat.
ents and title papers musty with
age, blocks from supposed corner
trees-the dim annulations brought
out by aid of the glass the oral
testimony of some of Highlands
oldest citizens etc.
The evidence was all in by Mon
day evening and his honor notified
the attorneys that each side would
be given all hour and half in the
argument. Not few county pee
pile came in Tuesday morning to
hear the argument and the verdict.
Mr.. Colaw lead off in a summing
up of As minutes, followed by Cur
ny and Timberlake, in the order
named, Mr.. Calhoun closing. The
jury took the case just before the
noonhour, camedown for dinner and
resumed their; deliberations in half
all hour. About the middle of the
afternoon, they came down and re-
ported a disagreement but were
sent back and held until five, fail
ing to- reach a verdict. Losing
hope of any decision, Judge Holt
discharged them andleft for Staun-
ton late in the evening. Mr.. Nc
Frake, the court stenographer who
touk down all the evidence, gave
it rs his opinion that 200, 900 wordS
hal been taken down by him.
Which will give some idea of the
tedious character of the case.
1t is understood that the jury
stood 4 for Folks and 8 for Nc
CMng.
1t is safe to assume that every
body from the presiding Judge to
tile citizen farmers who might
possibly be called to sit on a re-trial
jury, hoped that the case would
reach a settlement.
The Mackey-Hull land case Was
compromised.

to request that every woman who is
present on the occasion, shall wear a
costume made of and trimmed with
cotton material, as far as possible.
The decorations of the ballroom will
be distinctly southern in character, and
cotton, both In the boil and in the
bale, will be largely used.
colonial costumes made of cotton cloth
shall be worn by those who attend,
instead of the frocks which the fash

thought that those who do this may

the southern cotton fields.
Several women who in face and fig

costumes that will conform to the
fashions Of the period which their pro-
