Itor CUrtwon Attacking the Work Tt Xlia ju.b ntnu tewrao mte mil Against The December criminal term of Meek lenburg Superior Court was begun yes terday mornin-r, with one of the larg est dockets' ever known here. Judge W. R. Allen presided. Solicitor Herlot Clarkson' went at his work like a vet eran and did his full share in the de spatch, of business. The court room and, corridor outside was crowded with witnesses, defendants, lawyers and curiosity seekers. Walter Daniels, who had been pardon ed by Governor Aycoek, after conviction of gambling, on the condition that he would put up a 1500 bond for his ap pearance at court, did not answer to his name and the bond was forfeited, his bondsmen being Dr. R. J. Brevard and F. W. Shum&n, deceased. C. H. Dudley, charged with aban donment, paid the costs. Isaac Jackson, for an assault. wa fined $15 and the costs. R. F. Kirkp&trick. C. A. Fuller and S. R. Bennett were charged with an affray. The first named was fined J10 and the costs, and the" others were made to pay the costs. William Wright, for an assault, was lined IS and the costs. - Dora McManus was made to pay the costs ror trespassing. W. T. Rushton. for carrying con cealed weapons, had to pay $5 and the costs. Charlie Beeves and John Williams, colored, for gambling, were fined $10 una tne costs each. Will Probist, for carrying concealed weapons, bad to pay $10 and the costs. Charlie Sams got the same medicine for the same offence. - Willie Black got 30 days on the roads for cruelty to animals. In the afternoon a case of apparent ly little importance was thoroughly threshed out. It was that of three ne groes, Luther Gordon. Henry Davidson and Ern Broadway, who had a scrap on the night the circus was here. Mr. E. T. Cansler represented Gordon and Biadway, while ex-Judge Frank I. Osborne appeared for Davidson. There were many witnesses, and they testified how Gordon and Broadway had Jump ed from a wagon on the Rozzell's Fer ry road and the former became engaged in a fight with Davidson. The latter was a yellow negro, while the others were black. This fact was In some way responsible for the fight according to the epithets which witnesses said were used. Judge Allen fined Gordon and Davidson $5 and the costs eax-h, and dis charged Broadway. Then came up a very Interesting case which took up the greater part of the afternoon and is not yet concluded. W. C. Hasten, who lives out near tho Giread A. R. P. church, was charged with re tailing liquor. A committee appointed from the church engaged Mr. Crawford D. Bennett to assist Solicitor Clarkson in the prosecution. The defendant. vh is well-known In the county and has had lots of trouble with the courts, was represented by Judge Osborne, Mr. A. B. Justice end Plummer Stewart. The case was vigorously prosecuted and de fended. Willis P. Howard, a young, sandy haired man, was tho principal witness Hgainst Hasten. He testified that he had bought liquor from the defendant last April. "How did you pay for it?" asked the solicitor. "Well, I took about 50 rents worfh or peas to his store, and got In return for It, a half-pint of Jlquor, three bottles of beer and the rest 10 cents change 1 traded out also." (The testimony about the beer. was ruled -out, as it Is not named in the indictment.) Judge Osborne took the witness In hand. "Did you ever tell anybody that if Bill wasn't convicted you wouldn't get your money for testifying?" "I said I reckon I'd get paid." After a few more such questions and answers, it was evident that the wit ness did not understand, for when Mr. Clarkson asked him point blank, "Have you been promised any money -for testi fying in this case?" he answered in a surprised way. "No, sir." The next witness was Lester Rogers, an uncle of Howard. He s'.it on the stand in a rather peculiar fashion, and made answer to the first questions put to him in a very voluble manner. "You saw that liquor Howard had?" asked Mr. Clarkson. "Yes. sir." In a loud voice. "What did he tell you he gave for it?" "Peas!" shouted the witness In an explosive manner, so that a ripple of laughter went around and even Judge Allen bent his head with a smile. The witness, encouraged, began to talk, when Judge Allen turned to him with a severe countenance. "Listen to me." he said. "If I thought you were drunk, I'd put you in jail. But I'm not sure. You had better behave better on the witness stand If you want to go to your home to-night," The witness became subdued Imme diately, and thereafter answered quiet ly and Intelligently. Mn Frank O. Sherrlll, a merchant, went on the stand to testify to the good character of Rogers. "Rogers trades with you and owes you moneyr doesn't he?" was asked by Mr. Plummer Stewart, of counsel for the defendant. Mr. Sheriill was perceptibly incensed at the question, and after answering, "No, he owes rrie nothing, but If he did it would make no difference In my tMtlmotlyyVv turned ? protcstlngly to Judge Allen, who, however, bade him answer. But that line of questioning ' wa stopped. W. C. Hasten, the defendant then took the staAd in his own behalf. He is a rather old man, with a shock of thick grayt hair and a bristling mous tache. He 'has a kindly' face. Farming and store-keeping; near Gideon church are hla employments, he said. He de nied having sold any liquor to Howard as charged. Mr. Clarkson went at him In relent less fashion: "Haven't you been In dicted 10 . times before on the same charter" r Hasten didn't think! 'i was that of-! ten. "Well then, five times?" "Maybe so." ? . V ' "What was done with you when you were tried in the Federal Court?" 'Well. I had to stay witti Sheriff Wallace for four months." . "Oh, you boarded wlthr him," said the solicitor. . : "Well,. I was in Jail. Another time 'I boarded with Sheriff Smith, Once I was sentenced to the penitentiary for three years.1' xne - Governor pardoned me. Two Lectures Delivered Last Evening by Rev. B. S. Brown, of Clilna Grove, and Mr. Thurston, of tike . w C. A. Minslon Work Memorial Ser vice by Eudirestlan Society The IMa (clean Programme. At Elizabeth College yesterday even ing there were given two lectures, both of which were Instructive und thorough ly enjoyable. The first lecture was giv en by Rev. B. S. Brown, of China Grove, this being one of a series of le tures arranged for by President King to bo given at the college this session, the first in the series having been given by Dr. L. A. Lox, of Salem, Va., about three weeks ago. Iiev. Mr. Brown took for his theme, "Life or Existence," and treated it in a philosophical and practical manner. He said that existence was in two forms, material and immaterial. Gen erally speaking body is material and life immaterial, but man is a com bination of material and immaterial the material body and the immaterial spirit. In plant life, the body, the material, never dies and the life does; but In human existence, both body and life are imperishable. For the body dues not depend on perishable life, but haa its life by combination with the ympcrishable soul of man. Then, the body can never, after all, be de strowed. It may be changed, and life takes, after what we call death, the body again life and body changed and Xlorlfied. The speaker then suggested the prac tical lessons that could be drawn from the thoughts and left It with his hear ers to draw these lessons. A mere out line can not do justice to Mr. Brown's lecture as the close sequence of thoujrhl and gradual development of ideas in the address vannot be appreciated in a con densed synopsis. M,r. Brown was followed by Mrs. Thurston, who has been attending the Y. W. C. A. convention. In the city. Mrs. Thurston represents the mission ary branch -of the students' volunteer movement. She gave yesterday even ing a. most interesting lecture in her work in mission college In Turkey and described the home life, the child life, the Intellectual life arid the spiritual life of the people. She closed by call ins attention to the fact that it Is our duty and our responsibility to Import to others some of the benefits we have received, that we, like Christ, are not' here merely to be ministered unto, but to minister and to return something of that which we have received. The music for the occasion was fur nished by Professor Zehm at the organ, and the speakers were Introduced by President King. TILE C1TV ALDERMEN MEET JSf0 DeSsert HOLD TllKUt UKGl'LAU SESSION.

Tucker, of Centre, Ala., "I have used It In my family for Piles, Cut and Burns for years and can recommend It to be the best salve on the market. Every fam ily should keep it, as It ts an Invalua ble household remedy and should al ways be kept on- hand for Immediate use." Mrs. Samuel Gage, of North Bush, N. Y.. says:: "I had a fever sore on my ankle for twenty years that the doctors could not cure. All salves and" blood remedies proved worthless. . "I could not walk for over two years. V Finally I was persuaded to trv De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. All these admissions were com-1 which has eomnletelv cured me. It is pelled by the merciless questioning of 'a wonderful relief.".

A letter was read from Mr. Stuart W. Cramer, offering $360 for the strip of 9 Wt ht-tween his residence at the corner of Morehead and South Brevard streets, ami that owned by the city and occupied by Mr. Alexander Graham, superintendent of s hxds.
