It is barely possible Mr. Bryan will select the Old Dominion form on which all can unite, and no more appropriate place can be selected than the Virginia Stale Fair where will be assembled thousands of people from various parts of the State, and the coun try folks who like so well to hear goad Democratic doctrine ex pounded by such an able orator as Mr. Bryan. At the headquarters of ie Ar rangement Committee for Mr. Bryan's coining, letters are pour ing in from prominent men throughout the State accepting the invitation extended them to serve on the Reception Commit-: tee to welcome Mr. Bryan to the Old Dominion. From present indications there will be a record breaking crowd. Full details of arrangements have not been an nounced, but it is understood that they will be very elaborate. Mr. Bryatt speaks in Nashville, Tennessee, October Oth, and will come directly from there to Rich mond. Mr. Chas. B. Cooke, chairman of the Arrangement Committee, stated today that he had not anticipated such a hearty response to his request for en thusiastic welcome to Mr. Bryan. J. II.

NUMBER OF CASES SETTLED: Superior Court Hard at Work on Civil Docket ' The following cases have been called and settled in the superior court this week: CARTWAY CASE. The long drawn out case of George W. Cook against Joseph Vickersand others was decided by a jury Tuesday. It was in the favor of the plaintiff. There will probably be an appeal, if so this making the fourth time that the case in question has been called, before and inferiro court and the third time that it is to go to a high court. This suit is in regard to wheth er or not the county should ap point a jury to lay on a cartway for George W. Cook and those living in his community to get to a public road. It was ordered by the board of county commis sioners, was appealed, came back, was tried; there was a de murrer and again went to the higher court. Thi3 week it waS tried on its merits and the jury said that the cartway should be established. Thi3 was the ver dict. Since tho verdict no mo tion has been made in the court. BIG COMPROMISE SUIT. The case of Miss Fannie Co zart against the Vade Mecum springs ha3 been compromised and by this compromise the plaintiff gets damages in the sum of $2,000. The suit was for $10,000 and Miss Cozart was fearfully hurt. The compromise would never have been brought about but for the fact that the Vade Mecum Springs company is practically insolvent and the plaintiff in this action accepted what was certain rather than go into a litigation that would be her loss. Then it was that the compromise was arranged. NEGRO GETS $S00. There was another compromise suit Tuesday. This was the suit of Kelly Russel, who was swept from the top of a car by a pipe at the water tank. The compromise was given without going to trial. NEW LAWYER SWORN IN. Mr. J. Edward Pegram was sworn in as a member of the Durham bar and admitted to practice in this city, county and state. He was introduced to the court by J. S. Manning and the oath was then administered. In administering the oath there were a number of interesting spectator. in the bar. Judge Allen made some very pleasant remarks in regard to the admis sion of the new lawyer, saying that he knew his father ,and on ly hoped that he would come up to him and to his grandfather, the late Braxton Craven, founder of Trinity College. It was a very pleasant occasion in the midst of court proceedings. COAL SHUTE CASE. When court convened Wednes day morning it was with the case of Scoggins against the Sonthern road on trial. It was soon com promised and this without a ver dict from the jury in charge of the case. By this compromise not only was the case on trial but another case of the same na ture was settled at the same time. Mrs. L P. Scoggins en tered suit against the Southern road for damages on account of the establishment of the coal shute. In her claim which was for $2,000, she said that the es tablishment of the coal shute made life almost intolerable in that immediate section and great ly damaged her property. ' This was the cafe on trial when the compromise was reached. The other case wa3 that of P. O. Scoggins against the Southern road, for the same cause. Mrs. Scoggins owned one acre of land (jpposite the coal shute arid her husband owned two or three acres adjoining that of his wife. On that account it was necessary to bring two seperate actions. By the terms of the comprom ise it was agreed that the com pany shall pay to the defendants the sum of $2,800 in settlement of the two suits for $7,000. When this agreement was reach ed the case came to an end with out going to the jury. With the end of the case came an end to the other case, the counsel preparing a judgment that cov ered both litigations. THE LEATHERS CASE. The Leathers case is over the ownership of some three quar ters of an acre of land in Hayti. Sandy Leathers, so the story i?, died and left a will rivincr the property in question to his two sons and appointing Mr. H. A. I Reams as executor. Later the land was sold and the money di vided between the heirs. Mr. B. L. Duke purchased the prop erty, thi3 being some sixteen years ago. bmce then heirs 01 the wife of Sandy Leathers have come on the property, took charge and erected at least two buildings. This was not known until Mr. Duke decided to get possession of the property and he found this obstacle in the way. The occupants of the land claimed that it was the property of their mother and that their father, who was twice married, had no right to give it to others. Then followed this suit of one branch of the family, which by administrator had sold to Mr. Duke, against the other branch that said the sail was illegal. This is the matter now up. Thursday morning this case was settled by compromise. The other case regarding the title to the property is brought by B. L Duke to secure a clear deed. DIVORCES GRANTED. Another divorce was granted Wednesday. Shullie Edwards against Zeb L. Edwards, was given a hearing. She charged infidelity on the part of her hus band and he did not appear to answer the charge. The divorce was then granted. I-ena P. Tucker brought suit for divorce against Charles W. Tucker, her husband. The hus band did not answer the charge and the divorce was granted. This made six for the week. TELEPHONE CASE IT. The case of Drs. J. M. Man ning and T. A. Mann against the Interstate Telegraph company, was called Thursday. After hearing the evidence in the case the court decided that it was a matter for the court and not for the jury. The jury was dis charged. It was then decided that after supper the matter should be argued to his honor and that later on during the term the decision of the court should be rendered. The case of Ernest Wrenn against the American Tobacco Company went off the docket by . t . a non-suic nemg taken, it is now a settled fact that there will be no court next week. This is occasioned by the illness of Judze Council. Judire Allen. who has been holding court this week, goes to his regular duties, and no other judge could be secured.
