L. representing the The following were the grand jury for the L. R. Whichard. foreman, J. F. Evans. D. W. W. A. Teel, T. Gray, Jam- s H. D. Forties. L. A. Arnold, I. B. Pierce, G. W. Stokes, W.

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 Chimes, failing to list taxes, pleads guilty, sentenced j on roads in two cast.

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 and will give them any meeting a blessing to the whole community, and all pray for a shower to rain down on all converted souls so that there may be much buy any horse worth the money from to Can be found at my stable any time.

Cowper, while the defense is represented by ex- Solicitor L Moore, Wooten and H. M. Shaw. The first bill indictment found at a previous term of court wan quashed noon. hot almost immediately the present grand jury found another bill, and it is under the latter that the trial is proceeding. When the case called this afternoon the battle began in earnest. Mr. Moore for the defense offered four different motions, each in turn being over- ruled by Judge Ward. The first of these motions for abate merit on the ground that the alleged second marriage occurred in the State of Virginia, it was not in the jurisdiction of a North Carolina court to try the case. The second was asking for a bill of particulars as to the the time and place of the alleged second marriage. The third was to quash the last bill of indict on the ground that grand jury finding it was the same table at a hotel in Kinston. He asked where he was going to locate and the latter replied have not decided W. L. testified that Longfellow visited hit. store in Stantonsburg on the 17th of March and in a conversation told him he was going to marry a lady named Miss Bruce Swift. A. t.

She testified that Longfellow first went to her home one night in March to ask her consent to his marriage to her daughter, Miss Bruce. Her decision was deferred until next morning, when he called again. She gave her consent to the marriage on certain conditions, which he accepted, but no time for it was set- She next saw him when he came to her home from the evening train one day in May, Miss Bruce having come Prior to the time the American Tobacco Company entered Japan we had very little trade on this grade of leaf in country. With the advent of the American concern into the however, they created a demand for cigarettes for the most part made of the. typo of tobacco in The con- of this grade of leaf, under the aggressive activities of the American Tobacco Com- grew by leaps and bounds, and by the year 1903 our ship- of leaf to Japan had crawled up to the respectable total of 4.420.591 pounds.

This partly caused the of tobacco for that formerly obtained in this try, and the of the whole matter is prices are themselves to these changed and going back to merely normal figures.
