SALTER PATH HAS LOST HER HONORS Once Peaceable Village Has Now Gotten The Court Habit Salter Path occupied the center of the stage in the proceedings of Re corder's Court Tuesday. This com munity once had the reputation of be ing absolutely free from any sort of strife that required the attention of the courts. Several trials in recent months have somewhat marred that record. The cases tried Tuesdav were that of Mrs. Hettie Ann Willis, charged with trespass and assault, and that of Mrs. Annie Guthrie on an assault charge. Attorney W. C. Gor ham and C. R. Wheatly appeared on the Guthrie side and Attorney Alvah Hamilton appeared for Mrs. Hettie Ann Willis. The latter is the post mistress of Salter Path. The first witness in the case was Mrs. Caledonia Willis, 84 years old and mother of Mrs. Annie Guthrie. She testified that Mrs. Hetty Ann Willis threw some water on her and on her daughter Mrs. Guthrie. She also said that an hour or so before Mrs. Guthrie had thrown some water on Mrs. Willis. Mrs. Guthrie was the next witness. Her testimony was that she had for bidden Mrs. Willis to use a path that comes by her house. That Mrs. Wil lis continued to use the path and moreover had called her a good many ugly names. She admitted throwing water on Mrs. Willis. Thomas Guthrie, husband of the defendant, said his wife poured some water, contrary to his wishes, on Mrs. Hetty Ann. He also testified as to the path which was the bone of con tention, claiming it to be private property. Rumley Golden testified as to the water throwing also. Mrs. Hettie Ann Willis was exam and admitted throwing water and said she did it to let Mrs. Guthrie know how it felt to be baptized in that way. She denied calling Mrs. Guthrie names and said the latter abused her and told slanderous stories on her.' She f'said the whole trouble grew out of a law suit about a scallop house which took place some weeks ago. She had a large number of witnesses on her fide, all of whom did not go on the stand. Among those who did testify were Henry Willis, who said the devil was at the bottom of the trouble, George Smith and Mrs. Willis!, husband. There was conoid rable wrangling a mong the lawyers as to whether the path in question was public or pri vate. Evidence on this point was rather contradictory. After li-tening to the evidence and the lawyers for an hour or so Judge Hill decided both defendants were guilty of ass: .It. He dismissed the trespass charge against Mrs. Willis. Prayer for judgment against both de fendants was continued for twelve months upon condition that they keep peace and also pay the costs in the case. The case against J. E. Lewis, false pretense and giving bad check was dismissed as not probable cause. His son has made the check good. James Morton of Morehead City plead guilty to charge of driving a car while drunk. Patrolman A. T. Moore, Deputy sheriff Frank Colen da, W. L. Yeager and Bryan Swin dell testified that the defendant was quite drunk but did no harm. Pray er for judgment was continued on condition that he pay $25 and costs. The case against Charles Howland white youth, charged with larceny of a bicycle, was noil pressed with leave. WINDLEY JONES The marriage of Miss Nell Blair Jones and Mrs. Benjamin Earnest Windley, was solemnized at the Ann Street Methodist church, Tuesday, October 1, at hich noon. Prior to the entrance of ths couple Mrs. Otis Moore gave a number of selections on the organ. As the strains of the wedding march from Lohenghrin pealed forth from the organ, the bride and groom entered unattended and were united in marriage, by Rev erend L. L. Smith, pastor of the bridge. Immediately after the ser vice, the bride and groom left for a short trip and will be at home on their return at the Inlet Inn. Mrs. Windley is the attractive and gifted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jones, one of the most prominent I families in Beaufort. She has many friends in Beaufort. Mr. Windley was formerly from Trenton, but came to Beaufort some months ago to accept a position with the Beaufort Lumber and Manufac turing Company. He has made many friends in his short stay in Beaufort.
