RECORDER. SEMI-WEEKLY. VOLUME 90. DURHAM, N. C, DECEMBER 8, 1908. NUMBER 61. SUPERIOR COURT NOW ON The Judge's Charge a Scoring for the City. LIST OF THE GRAND JURY CHOSEN. Many Minor Cases Called and Dealt tlth-Small Jail Cases to Claim First AttentionCourt Room a "Sweat Box." Durham Superior court for the trial of criminal cases is now on in full swing. Judge E. B. Jones is presiding and Solicitor Jones Fuller is looking after the inter ests of the State. The first thing on docket Mon day morning was the selection of the grand jury and the charge of Judge Jones. The following jury was selected to act during the present term: Mr. A.W. Tilley was made fore man of the jury and the other jurors are as follows: Messrs. 0-M- Terry, Ed. V. Barbee, J. C. Upchurcb, John Hancock, L. G. Pickett, J. W. Howard. J. M. Barbee. II. T. Bowling, E. L. Watts. J. T. Hicks, T. J. Jones, N.Crabtree, Will Woods, Bed ford Hill, W. A. Ferrell, James Pickett and J. II. Maynor. The charge of Judge Jones was what might be commonly termed handing out the county a lemon. In the beginning he stated that he would not in all probability come back to Durham to hold court, but he wanted to have a say about the court house. "'It is a shame," he said, "thata county with $23,000,000 taxable property should be crowded in a sweat box like this for a court room. Get out from this place. Get a place where there is air for the prisoners and where court room can have a breathing space. After the charge of the judge began the investigation of the ca-ses before them. James M. Cagle was sworn in as court cryer. The court then opened there were 271 cases on docket and cf triat number 80 of them were jail cases, and the court intimat ed that there was little chance that the bond and capiuil eases would be reach d duruig ihn snort term.

Garrett made 25 barrels more corn than any other far mer in this community. Roy Howard recently caught a rabbit and a coon and put them both in the same box and they sit side by side and seem to be on friendly terms with each other. W. T. Gentry now has his grandmother's weddincr dress. ! which is over a hundred years fid. The goods cost $1.00 per vard and was neatly made and lias been well kept. W. A. Barton and Robert Ashley recently joined teams and ook a load of the weed to the Durham market. Did not hear them say, but supposed they realized good prices. I have of late sold 25 Green ville Washers to my near by neighbors and I yet have to hear the first word of complaint. The business is looking up and Archie Tapp is going to take part with me in handling these washers. W. T. Gentry is doing a fine business at Barton's mill, and has made 57 bushels of toll in the last ten days, and all his custom ers give him praise. Messrs. W. A. Barton, J. E. Yancey, Mrs. Ida Reams, John nie Brooks, C H. Tapp, and Bar nett Moore, who have been run ning a feed cutting machine in this community recently, had a considerable break up of the in side movement of the machine, but will start up again as soon as they can make repairs. Several of our neighbors are setting out cabbage plants so as to have early cabbage nextspring. It has been reported that Mr. J. H. Howard is going to move up on Hyco. I am glad to know that Mr. Charlie Day is going to cultivate the Rogers farm near Ai, for Mr. Day is a good neighbor. I will give your readers one of my sermon outlines on the fol lowing text, which has been a great uurce of comfort to me and may benelit some one else: "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; t.e shall never suiter the right eous to be moved. "-Psalms 55;- I. Some uf the many burdens to cast upon tne lord: 1. Transgression. 2. Anxiety. :5. flighted hope. 4. Misfortune. 5. Atlliction. 0. Thu welfare of humanity. II. If we cast our burden upon him he has pledged this sustain ing care. 1. He will sustain us when the way grows dark. 2. Sustain us in times of ex treme loss. 3. Sustain us in the hour of death. 4. Sustain us when before the last judge. 5. Sustain us if fjersecuted. . Sustain us if our cross be heavy. 7. Sustain us K sad and cast down. 8. Sustain us if we lose all in this life. '.). Sustain us in the thought of heaven won. HI. Possessing his sustaining care he will never suffer us to be moved. 1. Will not be moved from our first love. 2. Not be moved from his first work of grace. of darkness. 5. Not be moved byjthe Ssnare of temptation. 6. Not be moved as our re demption was completed in Jesus. 7. Not be moved from an ever lasting crown. Reade Bros. Co. have moved into the now department of their store and one would not find many stores more complete in some of the large cities. Their greatly enlarged trade compelled them to enlarge and expand their store. John Jones, their new clerk, and Mr. Laws are both fine and clever vounz men and are bringing things to pass in the way of trade for the firm. Roper. B. P. 0. E. MEMORIAL SERVICE.

The old board of county com missioners met in the court house Monday morning just long enough to turn the business of the coun ty over to the newly elected com missioners. The new commissioners sworn in were as follows: J. W. Allen and F. M. Tilley of the old board, and L. B. Markham, T. E. Belvin and J. D. Hamlin, newly elected. When the matter of electing a chairman came up Mr. J. W. Allen was unanimously elected. The matter of offering a re ward for the murderer of Engi neer Holt will be considered at this meeting. Quite a number of detail mat ters, such as looking over bonds of recently elected officers and the election of various people for positions in the work of the county, will consume the time of board at this meeting. It is not likely that they will adjourn be fore Wednesday or Thursday. From Tbe Chapel Hill Newv Rev. W. R. Royall has a pear tree in his yard that is somewhat of a curiosity at this season of the year. The tree was set out ear ly last spring and today it has a nice mellow sott pear on it.
