'.. $1.50 j To Three Months 45 THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1915 For once the granH jury was be hind the court in getting through work. Robeson Superior Court, un der tha dispatching guidance of Judge H. W. Whedbee, disposed of 85 or more cases in three days and got through work ahead of the grand jury which made' its report f ter the petit jury had been dismissed. This does not mean that the grand jury loafed on the job its report indicates that it kept busy, notwithstanding the fact that only 16 cases came before it but it means rather that JJudge Whedbee knows low to get work done. The business lievjayM. ; on under him nwootmy,- wunoui unaue nasie, dui, swiftly, and an" astonishing amount of work is done in a day astonish ing when compared with work done in some courts. There would not be much complaint of "the law's delay" if all judges had Judge Whedbee's ability to get work done speedily and with the minimum of friction. 'Judge Whedbee told the grand jury - Monday that it was its duty to see that road overseers are doing their duty and the jury, it will be noticed, from its report published elsewhere in this issue, took notice of two roads that seem to have been neglected. There is small use in spending a lot of money in making a good road if that road is not going to be kept up. It is' waste of money. The grand jury, in taking notice of two cases of negect, was exercising one of its most important functions. . o MT.
