A pargraph appearing in the Post's Raleigh special today stating that the Senate had passed a bill to -reduce costs in the Rowan county court was shown to Judge Kluttz of this court' and he stated in substance that its ' purpose was to so arrange the bill of i costs in a case in this court as to be able to make lighter punishment of parties who were convicted of trivial offenses and that in some cases where a penalty other than the light costs was advisable to add a fine to bring the total up to about the present cost of a case. It will admit of giving an extremely lijiht punishment to a de- ; fendant who does not deserve greater and in cases where severe punish-1 ment is needed any amount of fine can be placed in addition to the costs, as is now the case. It will reduce costs in some cases almost half, and is regarded as a good thing by those who have to do with the courts. AGED MAIDEN LADY DEAD. i Misa InlM KlaliM niaa ( tka Rl ; '' of.,Mr. A. M.
