Tells Freely Bis Cooasctisi Vifli Utlzenshtp Court. Audlfissa Applaais Us Testiimmj. Ex-United States 'Senator Marion Butler and brother, Lester Butler, were given a bearing 'yesterday afternoda before Justices D. H. Collins and J. M. Wolfe on the charge of criminal libel brought by Ex-Judge Spencer B. Ad ams. They were beund over te Su perior Court in bonds ot 8 1,00(3 each. The trial was held in the county court house and two or three hundred people went there to hear the evidence. In a hearing in which the attorneys for tbe defendants were allowed the broadest latitude possible Judge Ad ams comes out without a blot or blem ish on his character. On the other hand his acts as chief justice of the Choctaw Chickasaw court were shown by his o.vti sworn testimony to be up right and honorable in every particu- ar. For more than an hour Judge Adams was on the witness stand, and he un derwent a cross-examination the like of which has never before been wit nessed in Greensboro. He was ire and frank to a degree and it was evi dent that he wanted to disclose every thing in connection with his official conduct and his private acts as well. He was questioned as t how much money he has made since early man hood, how his living expenses have ranged, whether or not be&ept a horse while in Oklahoma, even asking him what weie the expenses of his wife in attending the funeral of her mother He was asked what was tbe largest tee he has ever received as n attorney. To every question he had a prompt re ply except where he could mot remem-: ber the items of expense. The examination was eren 'Carried into politics and ex-Judge W. S. O'B; Robinson, who conducted the cross-, -examination, tried to show that .But-, ler was responsible for Adtbine beinu elected Judge of the Superior Conn, and for his election as chairman of the. Republican party. Adams testified that he had never been intimate with, Butler, and that he sent him word not to come to the State convention two, years ago. Attorneys for the prosecution said that they had not objected to the broad range of the cress-examination be cause they wanted to show that they had nothing ,to conceal, They objected to the time consumed in asking ques tions that they claimed had no bearing on the case. No evidence was offered by the de iense. E. J. Justice and W, S. O'B. Robin son made speeches lor the defense and J. A. Long and C. M. Stedman spoke for the prosecution Judge Adams' conduct on the wit ness stand met with such favorable re caption with the crowd that Justice Collins had to threaten to have tbos who cheered arrested and put in jail. Ex-Senator Butler was arrested in Sampson county Tuesday night. H gave bond for hisappearaneein Greens boro yesterday. Lester Butler was ar rested in Wake county and brought to Greensboro yesterday in the custody of an officer. After reaching Greensboro he gave bond and was released. The trial began at 3 o'clock and it was after 6 o'clock before it was con cluded. When it was asked if the State was ready foi trial, J. A. Long asked for time to get a statement from the secretary of State, showing the Officers of the Caucasin Publishing Company. It was admitted that Marion Butler and Lester Butler are in control of the paper and the hearing was begun. -J A. Long read the warrant, which contained matter published in the Cau casan of four different dates relative to a bribe Judge Adams was alleged to have roceived. while judge of the Iddian citizenship court. The prosecution of fered copies of the Caucasin containing the article given In the warrant.

They Seem to Be Nearing End of Their Career. the The "comic supplements" of the Sun day papers, that have too long been known as the "funny pages," seem to have about reached the end of their career, and at least one paper has had the courage to announce its determina tion to cut them out. The Boston Herald makes the follow ing statement, that we believe will be generally endorsed: "Today the Herald abandons the comic supplement. That accompani ment of Sunday newspaperdom has had its day. We discard it as we would throw aside any mechanism that had reached the-ead of its 'Useful ness, or any 'feature' that had ceabed to fulfil the purpose of attraction. Comic supplements have ceased to be comic. They have become as vulgar in design as they are tawdry in -color. There is no longer any semblance -of art in theua, and if there are any ideals they are low and descending lower. "Many protests come from the pub lic against a coaatiiauanoe of the comic supplements. Parents And teachers object to them. Most discerning per sous throw them aside without .inspec tion, experience having taught them hat 'there is no hope for improvement in these gaudy beets. The supple ments no longer naaso .aim intelligent public; they serve mainly to depress persons of taste, and distort -such growing taste as may straggle for the light in others. The colored couio supplement is the clown of ithe news paper establishment. The Herald Ue- ieves that a great newspaper no longer needs a clown. Perhaps it newer need ed one, but all newspaperdom seemed to think 'the eeiuic' a necessity, and so the colored supplement came into; being and acquired the habit f liv-i in. - ! "The colored supplements of the: newspapers have not kept pace with the steady improvement in the art of illustration. This defect is due to tech nical and commercial limitations no ess than to a poverty of imagination on the part of persons whose function it has been to provide the pictures. While illustration in other branches,ia books and magazines and daily pa pers, has been showing a great ad vance, the colored supplements have! been goiug backward. The Herald, giving carslul consideration to the subject, has arrived at the conclusion that the time has oome when, in the interests of the public taste, the 'comic colored supplement should be aban doned." - Appreciate!
