CIDER FLOWS
ESQ Gallons Of Cider Consigned to
Sewer by Order Of Court. A
Flowing Time.

Several months ago a colored
defendant appeared for trial in
Superior court under the infu-
ence of some intoxicant. Upon
questioning by Judge Shaw, the
man stated that he had been
drinking cider bought of Watt
Morse, a white man who operates
a small store in West Pocking-
ham. The Judge promptly Or
deIed the Sheriff to investigate
and if cider was found, or any
extracts, to bring them in. Upon
searching Morse's store, IS bar
rels, or $50 gallons of cider, were
found, together with % dozen
bottles of paregoric. These were
stored in the courthouse.
At the term of court last week,
Morse submitted to retailing and
keeping intoxicants for sale. In
the retailing case Judge Lane
fined him $500 and costs and re-
quired him to furnish $500 bond
to appear at each January and
July term for two years to show
good behavior and that he has
not sold alcoholic beverages or
extracts. In the second case,
prayer for judgment was continu-
ed to July, 1920, term. The Judge
also ordered that the beverages
seized be destroyed.
(, And SO the destroying process
was undergone Tuesday after
noon at the sink, or storm hole
at northwest corner of court
house. Barrel at a time, each
was emptied into the yaWnlng
chasm, while scores of thirsty
and jocular wouId-be friends of
the liquid stood by. If the fish
of Hitchcock creek cut up any
shines this week, it can be traced
to the intoxicating fluid that the
law consigned to the gutter.

the following as our report:
I'VE have carefully examined
and passed upon all bills brought
before us.
by committee, we visited the
County Jail. We found the Jail
in good condition. We found
that there was a leak in a water
trap, which caused a quantity of
water to be standing on the floor,
and we recommend that it be
looked after at once.
by committee, we examined
theGounty Home; we found nine
white inmates and eleven color
ed. All inmates seemed to be
we'll cared for and we'll content
ed. We found there two leaks
III the roof of the building and
recommend that they be repair
ed at once. We recommend the
closets or toilets be kept more
sanitary.
by committee, we visited the
Convict Camp and found the
convicts to be in good healthy
condition, except one. The con-
victs were we'll satisfied with
their food, clothing and sleeping
quarters.
I'VE find the offices of the
Court Clerk, Register of Deeds
and Sheriff in good condition
and we'll kept, but we find the
roof leaking badly and the court
room in very poor condition
owing to the leaking and we find
the Court House to be wholly in
adequate for the purpose for
which it is used and not in keep
ing with the progress the county
is making in other lines. We
recommend that the County
Commissioners take steps to
build a new Court House at once.

NEY AND WHITE
ACQUITTED
Two Hard Fought Cases
Consuming Three Days of
Superior Court Results in
AcquittaL. Next Civil Term
Sept. 1st. Criminal Term
Nov. 3rd.

AS the Post.Dispatch went to
press last week the Will Ivey
homicide case was being tried.
1t was concluded Friday morn
ing with the acquittal of Ivey.
From the evidence it seems
that Pearl Wade had been absent
from work at Entwistle mill, and
on his return, the spinning room
overseer, Will Ivey, suggested
that he change his job to one
that would not require so much
walking about, but at the same
wages. Wade resented this, quit
the job and a couple of hours
later when Ivey went to the COM
pany store for mail, accosted
Ivey and cussed him out. Ivey
left, and returned to his woyk.
At noon as Ivey was going along
the main road to his home, he
met Wade, who had been drink
ing, and Wade thereupon berated
Ivey and started a fight. In the
scuffle that ensued Ivey shot
Wade, the man dying a few
hours later at the James
hospital. The Solicitor did not
ask for a first degree verdict, but
for second degree or manslaugh-
ter. The case was started We'd
nesday afternoon, and the law
yers began speaking Thursday
afternoon at 3.45. A night ses-
sion was held Thursday night,
and on Friday morning the Judge
charged the jury. The jury
shortly after taking the case re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.
The next case started, and one
of wide interest, was that of the
State VS. Arch White, of Hannah
Pickett village, charged with as
sault with intent to commit rape.
The case was begun Friday
morning, and was the hardest
fought case tried here in years.

defended White. The evidence
was all in late afternoon, and so
a night session was held for the
argument. Seawell spoke for
SIS minutes, followed by Jones for
forty minutes, while Solicitor
Brock closed the argument by
an hour and a half argument
for the prosecution. Judge Lane
delivered his charge Saturday
a. m. The jury was out but
forty minutes, their verdict being
for acquittal. The jury was

AIR LITIGATION

Whether a property owner is also
owner of the air above his land is 70
be determined through a court action
brought by Frederick Hoenemann' .
farmer in Missouri He seeks to re-
strain a company owning airplanes
from using the air above his farm
Like all Missourians he wants to be
shown.
Hoenemann contends that the sight
of the machines and the noise of their
engines disturb his livestock. An
other possibility is that airships shade
the crops when they pass over toe
frequently.
There is said to be no direct pre-
cedent to guide the court, and the
case is causing wide discussion IN le-
gal circles.
Legal experts of England have dis
Guessed the matter from the stand
point of national ownership Of the
air, it is said.
Some lawyers contend that free
dom of air and sea are the same,while
others assert the courts have held
ownership carries with it light and
air above the property as well as the
earth beneath.
1t is pointed out that when the
steam engine came there were many
law suits, the plaintiffs contending
that the noise as well as the danger
jeopardized their stock. The Massa-
chusetts Supreme Court, however.
rendered the opinion that the locomo-
tive was lawful and in keeping with
progress. Attorney say similar
condition arose when motor cars
came into use, but the highest court
of Indiana ruled in their favor on the
ground that law must keep pace
with progress.
1t was ruled, however, that Rail-
roads could not cross private proper
ty without buying the right of way
or condemning route.
The Missouri farmer evidently
wants to be paid for the right of way
over his farm, assuming that he owns
all the way up to the skyline.
The decision will he eagerly await
