Always Hop For a Man Who Is of an Ordinary Cur I have seen a few wretches in my day, but I never saw one so utterly lost to decency that ho could not be flattered by the friendly attentions of a strange dog.

He is then no longer master of the of his soul. lie drops his grotesque outer garb his brazen shield falls to the ground, he either cowardly retreats or succumbs without resistance. There is some hope for the man who is capable of feeling ashamed in the presence of an honorable dog. That man has avenues open to turn for advancement. His soul is still fit for expansion. Hit bruin is some- thing more than a dried nut. His heart has not turned entirely into a thing and valves. When a dog greets him he thinks better of himself. Unconsciously he that am, I am not so bad after all as I might be. You can't fool a dog, and a dog if no hypocrite.

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 hut then he should be sharply reminded of his Dispatch. Black Jack, K. O.
