Decommmg limited to tne service of the criminal class, in short peo pie are rapidly coming to the con elusion that lawyers as a class nave no more brains, no more justice and no more rights than any other class. Ofcourse there are exceptions pro and con, but we believe the average citizen has as much idea of justice as the average lawyer, and,- when it comes to deciding a case by the written law, he can look the matter up as quickly and render a decision with as much accord , to both the spirit and letter of said law as any one. rnis is not said witn any intention of reflecting on, or dis piragement of,; any of the gen tlemen engaged in the profession here, cn the contrary we think them a splendid body constituting part of our best citizenship. How ever, when they show a desire to monopolize the little offices creat ed by the establishment of a Re corner's Court here, they hurt their cause and give offense, o course not lntentially, to large number of good people who know and feel such a course, if adopted and we have no doubt of its adop tion, is not only: class legislation and. greed, but xoba them and their posterity of "equal opportu nities.

Lsst Friday morning, Reuben Barbee, a well known character of Durham, was arrested by officers and placed in jail, charged with having murdered Engineer Fred Holt.

There is. however. members of the opposea zo ine no probability that the military will be called to use. If so it will be for some matter that is not now in sight. While the airest of Reuben Barbee caused a great deal of ex citement, and the facts were quick ly spread over the streets, still A 1 A mere was no great surprise. As a matter of fact it has been openly suggested on the streets and in all other kinds of quarters ever since the shooting that it was done by Reuben Barbee. This has been no secret, although not published in the . papers, and as a matter of fact Barbee himself has talked with people who openly charged him with the crime at least that is the story heard. "Reuben Barbee is a white man, little more than fifty years of age, and with a shining plate that shows the ravages of time have scraped off the hairs. He has led a checkered career. Time and again he has been in trouble and he has been charged with crimes on many occasions that would have put him up for terms or for his life if convicted. "On one occasion he was charg ed witb killing William Col There was no doubt about the mur der, but in the court he put up a showing that caused the jury to render a verdict of acquittal . The verdict so enraged the good people of the county that an open indig nation meeting was held in the very court room where the jury had returned the verdict. This meet ing had the effect to change the laws in regard to getting a jpecia) venire in this county. Up to that time the court had the right to order deputies to go out on the highways and get those they coald for service. This was done in that case against Barbee. Barbee has been charged shooting into a train on one occasion, and it is told of him.that while he was a boy in school that he was sent from school because he threw rocks at a train.

They are of the opin ion that they pay enough taxes to entitle them to this service free. A committee will take up the matter with the aldermen. ' in Pension Warrants Ready.
