He was found guilty of tresspassing on the premises of his mother-in law, Mrs. Weatherman, and guilty of an assault on T. P. Lapish. In eaoh case judgment was suspended on payment of . costs. In two other cases the defendant was found not suiltv. The cases w grew out of the courtship and run away marriage of Gloaninger and Marv Weatherman, daughter of Mrs. Weatherman, who lives on Fourth street. Mrs. Weatherman had ordered Cloaninger to keep off her premises when she found that he was trying to steal her daugh ter, but the latter did not heed the warning. The Weatherman girl was willing to marry him and loved him enough to walk all the way to Barium with him Sunday night, where the knot was tied by Rev. John Wakefield. The evi denoe at the trial convinced those present that a very deplorable state of affairs exists in both the families cor cerned in thie pro ceedings. Saturday, the fourth, was a day ofjshowers and mud and only a few Statesville people spent the day CONCORD AND CABARRUS COUNTY. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The effect of its polioy has precipitat ed panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged, depression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise, and crip pled, American production.

The Republican party has been in control of the nation al government in all of its branches for the past eleven years, and now in the midst oi abundant crops, and boundless national re sources it has brought about the most destructive panic in our his tory.
