T.HAM FIRES FATAL BULIiET tNTQlBODY-ESFONENTj 3 ' v- . .-v The January civil term of Superior court came to an end Tuesday even ing, formal adjournment being taken because there was no further busi ness to occupy the court. During the term, which was in session eight days, judgments were signed in 71 cases, an average of almost nine cases a day. The number would not have been so great but for Judge Cline's ruling at the beginning of the term that the cases on the calendar must be dis posed of except in the event of a bona fide reason for a continuance. ' The work of clearing the civil docket will be continued at the Feb ruary term, it being the announced purpose of Judge Cline to get rid of a number of , old and useless cases that have cumbered the docket for years. Judge Cline will convene a week's criminal term of court' Monday morn ing. The docket is quite heavy and doubtless the entire week will' be consumed in disposing of it. There is one murder case for trial, the defendant being E. E. Welbornr a young white man, who fatally, shot John Christian, colored, in a store on East Market street early 1 Christ mas morning. He will plead self de fense. It is expected that a good portion of the court's time will be taken, oup in trying the blind tigers and block aders Sheriff Stafford and his depu ties have captured since the last crim inal term of court. A portion of the evidence against these defendants consists of 200 or 300 gallons of. li quor captured on the raids and which the sheriff has under lock and key on the third floor of the court house.

Ector, a physician and gentleman of the old school, died suddenly at his home near Friendship early Tuesday morning. As was his custom, Dr. Ector called the mem bers of the family at 5 o'clock and j about an hour later he was found dead in bed. The discovery was made by Mrs. Ector and apparently death had come without a struggle. Dr. Ector was 83 years old, and while he had been feeble for some years, he was in his usual health when he retired Monday night. Dr. Ector practiced medicine until a few years ago, when increasing age and feebleness caused him to retire. In his younger days he practiced his profession in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, later locating on a farm in Friendship township. He enjoyed a wide acquaintance and was held in high esteem as a physician and a cit izen. He is survived by his widow and one son, Mr. Lucian Ector, of Mon tana. He was twice married first to Miss Phoebe Brown, of this county, and the second time to Mrs. Ida War ner, also of the" county. A funeral service was held at the home yesterday at noon, after which the body was carried to Winston-Sa lem for interment. Prohibition Defeated in Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 25.

When Judge Cline, before adjourning court Tuesday afternoon, signed the judg ment in the vcaseln accordance with his understanding of the meaning of the Supreme court's recent decision attorneys for) both the county and contending property owners gave no tice of appeal. .
