May Begin To-Day. Correspondence of The Observer. Ashevilie, Feb. 14. Such rapid prog ress has ; been" made in clearing the docket of the present term of Superior Court that, but for the trial of the' F. M. Stevens murder case, the work would be easily completed this week. Solicitor Brown said this morning that the jail cases were nearly, disposed of and that it was expected the Stevens case would be reached Friday. Sev eral days will be required to try this interesting and Important case. The grand Jury-yesterday returned a true "bill against Mr. Stevens, on an indict ment charging murder) The defendant is still out oh .bond and will not be taken into the custody of the officers, unjll the trial commences. It is said that the vital facts In the affair result ing, la the shooting of Caleb Lee, a ne- gro, early one morning last year, have been presented and that the trial will develop much of Interest. Mr. Ste vens has employed Carter. Chedester -ind CralgT Martin ot kMm jelty,.; to defend him and these welt-known law yers will put up a stubborn "fight for their client's release,' .Solicitor Brown will be sussisted by able counsel for the private prosecution. The case has ex cited great Interest among the negro population of Ashevilie especially, and there is little doubt but the court room will be crowded during the entire prog ress of the trial. - ASHEVILLE CASE!

George Cor nelson and Chester's Effort to Get lllnv Tho Junior Speaking. Special to The Observer. ' . ' . , Davidson. Feb. 15. One can see In this part of the county of Mecklen burg as fine Jersey cows and as hand some Berkshire pigs as almost any where. Mr. John Caldwell on the east ern aide of Davidson has a farm on which he ralss for sale both of these kinds of stock.' He finds a ready sale for all his pigs and for the Jerseys either, as caivts or as milking cowg. He has Just added to his Berkshire family a thoroughbred pig six months old purchased from the Overton Hall farm near Nashville at a cost of $60. He has also ordered for immediate shipment from Ewell Station near the same city, a young Jersey calf of about the same age and which in round num ber will cost Mr. Caldwell $100. This young fellow's dam has a butter rec ord ot 23 pounds and nine ounces per week. One who likes to see pretty ani mals can always have his tastes grat ified by a walk to this near by farm. A Charlotte Observer man long since taking rank above the reportlal staff was a visitor here snne years ago and was so much pleased with what he saw I'hat he placed an order for some of the fine Berkshire.", which fatten out here on whole Jersey milk and as milk drinkers "make hogs of themselves" before one would imagine it possible, for youiitf piga to do this. The writer had the opportunity last Sabbath of hearing one of Davidson's most promising alumni preach In his own pulpit, morning and evening. The young minister was Rev. George Cor nelson, of Concord. Two thoughts sug gested themselves as this occupant of the pew listened to the preacher. One was that It was not strange that Ches ter wished very much to rob Concord' of its Presbyterian pastor and that Concord looked with little favor or pleasure on that Chester committee that recently visited her with a view to persuading Mr. Cornelson to change his residence back to his native State of South Carolina. The other thought was that it would appear that It ought not to be dif ficult to raise needed funds for David son College In any community where the church has such manifest and tan gible proof of what this college Is do ing for the cause of Presbyterianlsm in the South in sending forth to her churches young men like this one to fill vacant pastorates. Certainly such sons of the college are her best adver tisement. Concord, while a growing city, In fact growing at a marvelous rate In the increase In number of Its cotton factories and in its general population and otherwise giving evidence of va rious kinds of material prosperity, is also still famous for Its orack shots, who take the field In search of Bob White. Some of the younger genera tion are said to be close seconds to those who no matter how willing they are to acknowledge It must by com parison to the more youthful shot be counted, as belonging to a former generation- Col. Paul Means, years ago was known as an expert 4n killing on the wing. Another gentleman was said by his friends to have an ameteur record of 17 birds In as many shots, and Mr. Hall Puryear. so his friends say. went out one evening with 30 shell and when he came back pulled out 25 birds and two or three unused Shells. Of course none of these birds were taken in "pot-hunting" styled ' Some change has been made In- the I programme for the Junior speaking Me-!, wren.. 4i exercises will ne held Thursday . night.

And Tims the Last Chance for Dis pensary Legislation In South Caro lina Daring Present General As " scmbly is Gone Tangle Over Till man Substitute Measure. - Observer Bureau, ' 1209 Main street. Columbia, S. C, Feb. IB. When the committee substitute Till man dispensary bill came from the Senate to-night, as an amendment to the Morgan; bill passed by the House, Mr. Otts raised the point of order that It could not be received under rule 31 because the subject matter did not agree with the' title, the subject mat ter being entirely' new and the title being used merely for the purpose of putting the Senate measure in the position of the amended House bill. Speaker Smith said, that If he alone were deciding the matter, he would overrule the point but, as the House had the final say, it could overrule he would at once put the matter before tne nouse. Mr. ims position was sus tained by the House 6t to 4t. This sends the bill back to ti e t-'enate. If that body sees fit to chmige the title, the bill will come back to the House as a Senate bill, In which cuse it will not have time to get through the House between": now and Sunday, un less the House should agree to receive tho bill with its title amended, in the latter case, though .an entirely differ ent measure, it will have the carlia- mentary nature of a, House bill amend ed. This will illkeiy be the ruling of Speaker Smith, but if the present humor of the House continues, he will be overruled. ' This move to-night is due to the good generalship of Mr. Morgan wi'.o has managed his bill won throughout. v The House Rucker bill, providing for straight county dispensaries or pro hibition. - arrived is the Senate to- I night It was referced, which puts It out of business. The Senate to-night referred the Rucker county dispensary ! bill to the committee, which means : that it will not pass, and there is no chance now for any dispensary legis lation at el). I The House to-night passed the Sen- ' ate bill appropriating $22,000 to pur chase the old guard house in Charles ton to be used for an expansion of the citadel. The vote was 45 to 38. The House concurred In the Senate resolution to go Into the election of three directors and a commissioner for the dispensary. $10,000,000 NEW A. C. L. STOCK.
