FOB JANUAKL The First a Crlmlail Term and Then Two Weeks XclfU Cowt. There, will . be two terms of court held in this county during the month of January. The first court, which will be a one week term and will 1 convene on Jan uary 6, will be for the trial of criminal cases. The second term, which will be for two weeks, will convene on January 20, and will be for the trial of civil cases. Judge James L. Webb; i f Shel by, the. twelfth judicial district, will be.on. the bench at. both terms of court, this being his first official visit to the city. He has been on the bench for some time and is jusf now reaching this part of this district. He has the reputation of being a very fine judge. The docket for the criminal term of court is now being made out in the office of Clerk of Court C. B. Green. His assistant, Sneed Sasser, is getting every thing in regard to the docket in shape so that there will be no hitch when the time come. It looks now a if there will be a very large docket: this partially on account of the fact that such such a large number of cases were continued from the past term of court. Then the docket was crowded as never before and to add to this Judge Cooke was called home on account of the dying condition of his son. As a matter of fact, a large num ber of cases had to be continued from that term. .These are now on the docket of this term and added are the many warrant cases that have been sent up by mayor and magistrates. It is mora than probable that all of the time of the court will be tak en in the trial of the cases to be heard, and then that the docket will not be cleared. The civil term will convene on the 20th of January. While tbre is a large docket it is thought that practically all of the work I that will be distwsed of during ! the two weeks that Judge Webb will hoM the court here.

Wednesday afternoon Miss Lula Cassiday, who is principal of the Patrick Henry school in Patter son township, this county, left over the Durham & Southern road for Apex and from there she went to her home at Laurin burg. It was a sad message that called her hsme on almost the eve of Christmas. It was a mes sage that told of the death of her brother. Arthur Cassiday was hit name and he had made his home in Manila, Philippine Islands, for some seven years. Since going to the Philippines Mr. Cassiday has married. He had been en gaged in the printing business for several years, owning the es tablishment that he managed. The particulars concerning the death of Mr. Cassiday are meager at this time. The only message that his sister received came from her father, James Cassiday, who stated that he had received information that Arthur died in Manila on November 6; that his body was at once prepared and shipped and was expected home in a day or so for burial. Miss Cassiday at once gave up her work and hurried home for the sad Christmas gathering. Death of Miss Speed. Miss Pauline Speed, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T.

Webb, a negro who lived in East Durham, was given one year in the federal prison for Belling' whiskey in violation of the f ederal laws. He was not consi dered such a bad negro and few, thought that he was a "reg ular',' ; blind tiger" yet when hiai case came up the evidence was such that he was !convicted and sentenced to the prison in Atlan ta. Eugene Dorsett a white man. 8orj of Newton Dorsett, goes to the. county-jail for six months. iwrsett entered a plea of guilty. saying that he was the one to be punished if there should be pun ishment in the case. Back of all this is a story that shows lovaltv and devotion, even in crime. The federal authorities found an illi cit distillery on the plantation of old man Newton Dorsett and some of the stuff used was found in the home of John Dorsett, his son. Eusrene was connected withhe matter and all three men were arrested. When it came to a show down Eusrene admitted that he was guilty that he alone was responsible for the plant-in this getting him self into certain trouble and yet giving his father and brother a" fighring chance to get out of the The case acainst the other lo defendants was set for trial Tuesday but was not called for some reason. Newton Dor sett, the senior of this trio, was in Raleigh with his attorney, R. U. tverett. and the two came back on the afternoon train. The case will not be taken up until after the holidays.
