PITT SUPERIOR COURT-
Term for the Trial of
Casts Now Session.
The August term of Pitt
court opened at o'clock
this morning with O. H.

and C. L.
representing the

charge to the
grand jury delivered a
conversational and
about hour. He he
be able to a better charge
for publication or to he read
than be would perhaps deliver
in this way, his purpose was
to have only a plain talk with the
jurors, whose faces
they were men of intelligence,
and get them to help him carry
out the duties of the court,
than to appeal to gallery,
the bar or the press. He no
that his should be
praised as a fine charge, hut
only wanted to perform bis duty
and Not-
withstanding remarks by
sod the charge being
delivered just as he said. The
does not hesitate
speak of it as an excellent one,
for it contained many good Utter-
were- listened to
interest and had hi- effect
on the large assembly in the
court
Two laws that Judge Guion
referred to especially were the
one against carrying concealed
weapons and prohibition, be-
cause, he said, people were in-
to regard these as en-
upon rights- It
is not for men or juries lo nay
whether a law is good or bad,
but the laws as passed by our
representatives be en-
forced. Where men ignore tie
laws, that is classed as a lawless
community. The grand jurors
are of the law, and fail
to their duty unless
they help to carry out the laws
as they are. No man can say be
has the right lo violate the law
because the legislature should
not have passed such law. Nor
should grand jurors wink at a
violation nor ignore a bill because
they may think a law is not a
good one.
It is a mark or cowardliness to
carry concealed Men
are endowed with natural force,
and when they go beyond this
and slip weapons in their pock-
they do so with a full
edge that they are violating the
law, who are not willing
to live in a State under the laws
that exist, should go elsewhere.
As to prohibition, Judge Guion
said it made no difference what
individual opinion might be, the
people of the State said they
wanted it passed, it was passed,
and is a law, and our duty is to
enforce it regardless of what we
may think. The man who
the prohibition law is the
meanest kind of a criminal, as he
does it for the purpose of getting
gain from the sale of liquor. If
a steals a pair of shoes it
may be because he has none and
needs them, but he is sent to
the roads. There is no necessity
for a men selling liquor, and he
does so and for gain.
Another thing Judge
Guion referred to was in
i with a case he noticed on
I the docket for failure to work
I roads. He said he did rot know
what the road law of Pitt county
was, but he thought it a sorry
spectacle to see men out work-
the roads for two or three
days in the year when laborers
could be hired to do this work
them. No county will ever
be abreast of the times whose
citizens are not willing to pay a
j little tax to work and make good
roads,
Guion also expressed
bis pleasure at a facing Pitt
jury, though for the first
time, US It was a county in his
; district, and it filled him
with pride that the juries of his
eastern counties were
to any he had seen
in any section.
The following cases have bee;,
disposed

Evidence of Positive Supremacy
There arc forty-six manufacturers of sewing
machines in America.
How many can you name How many did
you ever hear of
One name comes to the mind of every
woman immediately the Singer and
there's a very good reason.
j The Singer makes and sells as many ma-
chines in a year as the other forty-five
manufacturers combined.
The Singer Sewing Machine is known as
the best sewing machine in every country
on the globe. There is a Singer store in
every city of the world. Why
Because, when you buy a Singer you do
not buy simply so much wood and steel
you buy the latest result of the longest
and best experience.

EVILS OF SABBATH DESECRATION
Ex it. B. Glenn, of North
Carolina, delivered an address
at N. Sunday,
and the way he lambasted the
big cities for their evil doings
put the i to talking.
But the governor said a lot of
good things, just is his way
of doing, and what he said is
plant wheat and give them what
information they need, also to
suggest the kind of wheat that
will be suitable to sow here. As
soon as he finds out, he will sup-
ply the farmers with seed-wheat
at cost.
We look this as being
one of the largest enterprises in
our city and it will be a great
benefit to the farmers, only
in this, but the adjoining
ties. Messrs. Havens and
will be pleased to meet any
one who expects to plant wheat
