The judge and solicitor arrived here Sunday afternoon,havingheld court last week in Alamance coun ty, and court was promptly opened on time. The following were . drawn and empanelled as the grand jury: Thomas R. Green (foreman") -VT TT" l - -ri -l v , xiicks, xjieasoe Jid wards W. Olive, A. L. Duke, J. ' fctrowd, J. A. Fesmire, J. A. Han cock, W. M. Liridsey, O. T. Wick er, W. W. Dunn,' E. C. Cox, Tod. R. Edwards, John II. Foushee, John W. Green, A. W. Fowler and J. M. Burns. The judge's charge was short, but very practical and instructive. He alluded to the growth of crime, and urged the creation of a proper i i . j . p ... 1 puonc sentiment ior its suppres sion by the rigid but just enforce ment of the law by : and. .throu the gTand juries of thexxyantry Immediately after the judge's charge Solicitor Brooks began the prosecution of 4he eases on the criminal docket, and never before have we known so many cases dis posed oi m so snort a time. Usual ly on Monday not many cases are tried at our courts m Chatham 1 he judge generally charges the grand niry for .nearly two hours and no case at all is usually tried before the noon recess. But on last Monday the judge charged the grand jury not over half an hour (and yet it was one of the best ever heard here) and six jury cases were tried petore recess. Aiiu in cue aiternoon everv case was tried that was then ready for trial. And the grand jurors de serve praise for. the prompt man- ner with wiiien thev discharged their duties. By Wednesday the State docket was disposed of. The following are the principal crim inal cases tried or disposed of : State against Robert Harris: indicted for assault with deadly weapon; verdict of not guilty. State against Alonzo Gilmore; arceny; verdict of eruilty and sen tenced to six months on the roads. State against Edsar Farrar and Tom. Taylor; larceny; guilty and Farrar sentenced to eight months on tne roads and ludment sus- )ended as to Taylor upon pay ment of half the costs. State against Frank Hicks; lar- eeiry ol a cnicken; defendant plead uilty, and sentenced to four months on the roads. State iig-ainst Will Murchison: assault with deadly weapon (the oft told tale of using a razor at a "festibul"); verdict of guilty and sentenced to 90 days on the roads.

N. Gattis against J. M Griffin, J. M. Edwards and Ostia Perry. This was an action by the plaintiffs to test the validity of the act of the last Legislature ap pointing the defendants the board of school directors of Chatham county. After hearing the plead ings read, the judge stated that a similar case had been fully argued before him at Granville court, week before last, and that after careful consideration he had de cided that the Legislature had the right to appoint the defendants as school directors, and that the old board of education had been le gally abolished. Upon this in timation of the judge counsel did hot argue this case arid judgment was rendered in favor of the de fendants, from which judgment the plaintiffs appealed to the Su preme courts . -During the session of the court on Monday quite an unusual and exciting incident occurred. '.. The clerk of the court (Mr. R. H. Dix on) and Mr. John W. Perry had gone into one of the jury rooms (adjoining the clerk's desk) when in a few moments Mr.. Dixon x re-' turned with blood on his face and head and informed the judge that Mr. Perry had struck -"him- on the head with a stick. - The judge at price ordered the sheriff to arrest Mr: PeTry, and Mr. Dixon went to Dr. Chapin's" office to have his recosr- tr Hind v dressed. After hearing! lur. Perry s statement tk released him on his own nizance m the sum of $200 to ap pear and answer the charge against him. It appears from the statement made by both par ties that they disputed as to whether Mr. Perry, as a magis trate, had returned certain papers to the clerk. Mr. Perry said that Mr. Dixon called him a liar and for that reason he struck him. Mr, Dixon said he did not call him a liar, but told him that his state ment was false. A bill for an af tray was sent to tne grand jury against both. The trial of the case is postponed until next count because Mr. Dixon is not able to attend at this term. The presidinsr iudire is Hon George H. Brown, Jr., of Beau tort county. This is Ins second visit to Chatham, having- held court here at the fall term 1S93 During this term he has most sue cesstuiiy sustained nis oeserveel reputation of beiner one of the very beat judges in this State. With no unseemly haste and with perfect ease he dispatches busi ness most rapidly, and at the same time most satisfactorily, patiently and courteously hearing- all that is proper to be heard from wit nesses and counsel, and promptly deciding all controverted ques tions that arise during a trial All the business of the term will probably be disposed of by Friday night, and the judge leave here on Saturday morning-, r For The fiecord Merry Oaks' Dashes.

' Miss Effie Edwards, who has been visiting relatives near Ewing last week, returned Friday, and leaves us again today for Raleigh. Thieves entered the store of Mr. Robert J, Yates late Friday night, presumably looking money, but they were soon tected, and they left so hurriedly that the burglars' key by which they entered was left in the door. As they left they shot at Mr. Irv ing Lasater, who found them. "X." Negroes Slaia la Illinois. '. Cartersville, 111., Sept. 17. Cartersville was the scene of a bloody riot about noon today, in which six negroes were killed arid one fatally wounded, while two others received slight wounds. Trouble has been brewing since, the militia was recalled by Gov-1 ernor Tanner last Monday. The white miners of this place have : refused to allow the negro miners . to come into town, always meet ing thera and ordering them back. Today, however, 13 negroes, all armed, marched into town, going to the Illinois Central depot, where they exchanged a few words with the white miners there. Then the negroes pulled their pistols and opened hre on the whites, who at once returned the fire.- A running fight was kept up. The negroes scattered, some.bein closely followed by the whites up the mam street, while the remain der fled down the railroad track. Here the execution was done, all who went through town escaping. After the fight was over six dead bodies were picked up, another mortally wounded. They were taken to the city hall, where , the wounded mail was attended to arid an inquest was held over the dead ones.

It was getting along well and had half the chain swal lcwed when it was discovered, and by heroic efforts on the part of several citizens the chain was at last rescued. - Some negro laborers from Norfolk-went to' Wilmington, to work in loading vessels, and a crowd of Wilmington . negroes set upon them nd tried to drive them off. The mayor had to send- a large force of policemen to protect the Norfolk negroes. - A Stanly man reports that his wife had been missing tomatoes off her vine3 and set to watch to discover the thief.

Weekly Crc The marked change in tlie weather conditions for the week endinsr Monday, September 18. 1899, indicates the rapid approach of autumn and the close of the cron season" The entire week was agreebfy cool, with moderate midday and low night temoera- ures, the mean of the . week aver- iging over four degrees per dvy lelow the normal. Although scat- ered showers occurred on the 12th and 14th, the amount of precipita tion vas venr small, and in many sections drought continues prac tically unabated. The -amount ol sunshiue was abundant, and "the conditions srenerally were very avorable for farm work, esp3ci.il v picking cotton, saving fodder and hay, making sorghum : 'syrup, and gathering other crops - which ire ready for-rjjarvest; tain ''ls: still greatly needed for late gar dens, potatoes, and turnips, and to sotten the soil. Fall plowing did not progress favorably dufincr e week on account ol the hard ! condition ot the soil m many sec-; tions. " ; Progress in picking cotton was very rapid during the week and ginning is well advanced. Many reports on cotton indicate good quality of lint, though very short yield. The number of unopened bolls is now small. Gathering corn has commenced; late planted did not mature very well. Pull ing fodder is nearly over except in the west; large quantities of hay were saved, and the last mow ing is underway. The cool,,-, dry weather was favorable for cutting and curing tobacco; considerable quantities of tobacco remain un cut in northwestern counties, but probably the entire crop will be housed by the. end of September.
