SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION.
jmi' e M. v, Barnhill Presiding—Few
Cases Disposed of as we go to Press
Superior court convened Monday
morning at ten o’clock with Judge M.
V Barnhill presiding. A grand jury
'as selected with N. J. Wilson as
foreman, and the judge proceeded to
charge them as to their duties.
His remarks were concise, but to
the point, and while no specific law
violation was impressed upon the body
men, they were given general in
structions as to violation of any
coul( j be any distinction
made in Judge Barnhill’s charge it
would be as to county government,
because he did ask the jury to delve
into the public institutions and as
certain the true nature of affairs and
report them “good or bad.” He was
entirely correct in his conclusions
when he said that no one objected to
taxes, provided there was a dollar’s
worth for every dollar expended. He
mentioned specifically that there must
be an economical expenditure of pub
lic funds and humane treatment of
public charges on the roads as well
as the beneficent institutions.
In the outset of his remarks, Judge
Barnhill emphasized the fact that a
juror was r.ot fully qualified and suit
ed as a juror unless he had paid his
taxes. This is a new angle never be
fore mentioned here by a judge, and
few regarded it as a requirement.
No one is competent to sit in judg
ment upon his fellow man, according
to the Judge, if he has neglected to
take care of his obligations to the
commonwealth, whose privileges he
is enjoying.
As to whether the petit jurors and
members of the present grand jury
are qualified to this extent, we do not
know, but there are many who could
not qualify in Chatham is a fact, not
from choice but from necessity.
So far defendants have been given
consideration by Judge Barnhill, none
having received severe punishment,
vet there has been surrounded upor.
them a judgment that will interfere
with their liberty if the order of the
court should be violated.
Judge Barnhill is a young man pn
the bench, having recently been ap
pointed, but he has greatly impressed
both court officers and spectators.
The following cases have been dis
posed of as we go to press on Tues
day: , ,
State against Frank Clark, liquor,
judgment suspended on payment of
costs.
State against Nelson Smith and
Earl Smith, destroying property; nol
pros as to Nelson and prayer for

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. CROSS.
News of Interest From The Brickhav
en Community and Section.
Brickhaven, July 28—Mrs Griffin, of
Durham, spent last week here as the
guest of her son, W. A. Griffin.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Reardon and two
children, of Pikeville, were week end
guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Dickens j
of the Boylan Ranch.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Harrington re
turned Saturday from Lynchburg,
where they have been for the last
four days attending the Merchants
Association.
Miss Ora Carpenter, of Lynchburg,
is the guest this week here of her
uncle,Mr. C. H. Thompson.
Little Claire Eve Mims is spending
this week in Raleigh with her broth
er, Mr. Harlowe Mims.
Messrs J. C. Seawell and W. J.
Hannon spent Saturday and Sunday
with relatives near Carthage.
Mr. B. M. Dickens has purchased
a new Ford touring car. Mr. Dickens
is one of our most thrifty, energetic
farmers, a man who lives at home,
so to speak, and boards at the same
place, and we are always glad to see
people who deserve the good tnings of
life, acquiring them and enjoying
I them.
The community was shocked and
j saddened when news came Sunday
morning of the death of Mrs. Hubert
Cross at Buckhorn. Mrs. Cross appar
ently was as well as usual Saturday
and was making preparations to go to
Raleigh to see her little son who is
very ill in a hospital there, when she
suffered an attack of acute indiges
tion, and going into convulsions died
several hours later. Her death is a
peculiarly sad one, and has cast a
gloom over the entire section. We
question if there has ever been a more
congenial or more happy home than
I this one which now is such a sad
| dened and broken one. Words are in
adequate at such times, but the deep
est sympathy is felt for the bereaved
family and relatives, and especially
for the broken-hearted young hus
band.
A devoted mother, an ideal wife, a
most congenial neighbor, a loving
friend an attractive and most gracious
woman has been taken from our midst
—but the influence of such a life is
something that never dies—but like
the little brook goes on forever, grow
ing sweeter as time passes. We can
well say that the world is a better,
happier place by her having lived,
and somehow we feel that she, who
has lived and loved so devotedly, must
even in death be very, near and that
her loving, guardian spirit wiH hover
around and comfort those who loved
her and who are so in need of com
fort and help and strength to bear
this great loss.
THE MANY HORSE "iiv^DERS.
Streets Full of Horses, Automobiles
as Well as Many People.
In walking down Main street,
around the court house and down
South street Monday a Record man
was made to open his eyes at what he
saw. It seemed that all the horse trad
ers in Chatham and surrounding
counties had congregated on South
street to swap horses.
Around the court house and up
Main street were more than 200 au
tomobiles, the occupants having come
here to attend court or through cur
iosity to be in the crowd, or meet
ing friend§.
South of the court house there was
a comglomeration of horses, better
horses, jacks, boys, men and now and
then a woman or child could be seen
scurrying across the street, dodging
horses and men.
The Record man judged that there
were at least 100 horse traders on
the street. Each trader was supposed
to own at least three horses, making
a total of 900 horses. It must have
cost these traders at least 50 cents a
day to feed these horses. One hundred
men could be making $3.00 a day at
labor, making S9OO a day these men
lose simply to get into the wild life
of swapping horses. It’s a great life
—we don’t think!
“How’ll you swap?”
