convene here next Monday, will

E. r. Tyler prosecuting the docket.
Il. 0. talllncr, CLERK of supcrio:
court, said today there were approx
mately As cases on the docket for trial
none of which involves homicide
charges. lie estimated that nearly all
of the week would be required to dis
pose of Jail cases, and that sizeable
docket would be left for the regular
term of criminal court early in jan
uary.
The special term was ordered by
Governor Hoey on request of the
Vance Board of County Commission
ers. The date was set to suit the con-
venience of Judge Parker and Solici-
tor Tyler, at time when they would
not be tied up in court elsewhere and
could be here. 8
While there are no homicide cases
set for trial, there are several that
are expected to consume considerable
time, and for that reason it was
thought wise to have the extra term
of court. ~ "a

he held in this county in 1888, the
first having been conducted in Feb
ruary, following the regular January
term. 1t will be the sixth week of
