EUBANK TRIAL
is I'm PROGRESS
Both Commonwealth and Defendant
Answer Ready for Trial
This Morning.

The trial of Porter c. Eubank,
charged with the murder of II. M.
Ringo, was started in Circuit Court
this morning and both the Com
monwealth and Defendant answer
ed ready. The twenty-four jurors
were examined and only four were
accepted by the Court, neither side
however, has passed on the ones
accepted so far. The judge immed-
lately ordered 100 jurors summon
ed and the work of examining them
is now in progress. Indications
are that it will take several days to
secure a jury. A large crowd is at
tending the trial, which promises to
be quite a lengthy one.

courteous and capable and we feel
confident in predicting that he will
make them a valuable employee. Mr.,
Pierce has been succeeded at the

was in line for promotion and who
is in every way fitted to fill the posi-
ton. Mr.. Eskridge's successor is
Mr.. -. B. Azbill, of Winchee Ter

TOBACCO MARKET FLOODED

During the past week tobacco has
been streaming into this city one
wagon load right after another and
if the open weather continues the
streets near the warehouses will
soon be almost impossible, as there
are now many wagons waiting to be
unloaded. Prices continue steady.
A great deal of trouble is being ex-
perienced by the buyers being I'M
able to secure ears in which to ship
the weed and unless this condition
is remedied within the next few
days several buyers will be forced
to withdraw and sales will have TO
be discontinued. Owing to lack Of
space we are unable to give any
averages.
