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

It may lie said without contra
diction, that it is only the
person that reads the daily
newspaper so as to be able to have
any coherent idea of it contents an
hour after the paper has been laid
aside. The newspaper reader as a
rule, reads just the portion which
is of personal or individual eon-
or interest, social or
of finance or of sports, and
the rest the paper is parsed
over.
Two phases of newspaper read-
or the neglect of it, perhaps a
combination each, are thy of
special consideration, these being
the quickness with which the
reader of the newspaper will see

personal nature, and extreme
