The time for Clearance Sales has moved up a month or more. Formerly September, then August, now July. The factory agents
are even out selling fall goods before the selling of Summer Stuff began, even now solicitations are made for next

can be charged or sent out to see at July Clearance Sale prices. We have planned to sell all Summer Goods, have taken

There is some hope for the man
who is capable of feeling ashamed

That man has avenues open to turn

fit for expansion. Hit bruin is some-

heart has not turned entirely into a

BLACKJACK ITEMS
Peebles, who has
in the past bad mo-
on the Superior Court
Bench, is holding court in
Mecklenburg county for the first
time. Monday, after convening
court, he took to deliver
a sort of introductory speech
the bar and in which he dwelt
interestingly upon the rights
that witnesses are entitled to.
bis remarks were timely, as it is
often the case that some lawyer
is found who rough shod
over witnesses irrespective of
their rights much less
feelings. Judge Peebles, of
course made no personal thrust
and his remarks could apply
with equal force to the oar of one
county as well as to the bar of
another He stated that he
would not allow a lawyer to
duly a witness, nor
he allow a party to a suit
to be treated properly. If a
lawyer treated a witness or a
party to a suit improperly and a
verdict was rendered for the
party the lawyer represented he
would set the verdict aside,
though if an adverse verdict was
rendered he would permit it to
stand
Relative to the legality of a
judge setting verdicts aside on
grounds we are in the dark-
but there appears plenty of
light from common sense,
able standpoint, for lawyers who
unduly witnesses de,
serve to lose. There are cases,
of course, where witnesses
parties to suits may need
and criticizing severely,
but there are many more cases
where witnesses especially are
and they do not de-
serve it- Its true that a witness
may not always possess a good
character, but it seems hard if
fate makes him witness a crime
that he should be made to suffer
fur it, and it is not right for
small tilings in the life of a
to be picked- up and flaunt-
ed vividly and harshly before the
people merely because accident
may have placed him in the wit-
chair. It is be duty of
every judge, like Judge Peebles,
to protect witnesses from undue
criticism and in doing so they
will be but following a plain line
of responsibility and will well
merit the gratitude of the people.
The of lawyers who
indulge in such wanton practice
is small, but it should grow
smaller Some lawyer may in-
in such conduct

sharply reminded of his
