Disregarding repeated announce ments In the superior pourt of Meck lenburg county that criminal cases hereafter would be taken up on the dayB they were docketed and that they must be In the court room when cases in which they were to testify were called, a large number of witnesses in the criminal court which Judge T. J. Shaw opened Monday morning found themselves fined $40 when they show ed up a few minutes after their names were cauea out. uney also round a ruling on the court records that they would not be 'entitled to prove their attendance at this court and get the customary pay for witness service. Judge Shaw supplemented his an nouncement to the above effect by the statement that no witness or attorney for av witness need appear before him and ask that the fines te remitted for he would not remit thtm. "If I do anything at all," he said, "it will be to increase the fines. It has been the case every Monday morr inghere since I have been here that the court could do no work on Mon day morning because there were no witnesses present or because a" defend ant, at liberty on bond, was not pres ent. They must learn that when they are cited to appear here they are to appear when their cases are called and not at their own pleasure or con In an effort' to break up the dila-' tory tactics, of which he comnlained at the opening of the present court, Judge Shaw announced at several pre vious courts that witnesses and de fendants must hereafter be more prompt than they have hitherto been and had given the order that at the opening of this morning's1 court such persons must be inside the court room when their cases were called and not in the lobby of the court house. In addition to that precaution, Judge Shaw, several weeks ago decided to adopt the "calendar" system of crim inal cases, naming the day on which each case on the docket was to be called and specifying that witnesses must appear the first day of court to go before the grand jury but need not appear again until the day set for the trial of the case they were interested in." There were many in the list o those who were called this morning and did not answer to their names.

Davidson," "that he can get all the sugar he wants from the refiners if the fair price committee will let him demand 18 cents for the sweet." Whether this is letting the cat out of the sack or putting her in the sack, developments through the fair price committee will show, but the evidence looks strong and it will be accented I by many people as severely close to the truth, perhaps, m the national sugar situation. "I don't know wrhat the English or the French government has bought of the Cuban crop," said Chairman David son; "but there is sugar in the United States, plenty of it." 'Will the fair price committee per mit the sale of sugar at 18 cents per pound?" the chairman was asked. The answer was a "No," unless the committee is satisfied that 18 cents is the right price for sugar. Jt has doubts now. "We believe that we can get a .?ar of sugar soon," said the chairman, "but let nobody believe that this is for gen eral use. It will be for babies and the sick and hospitals only. We also ex pect to get another car soon, but this will be sold on sworn affidavit to pur chasers that they have no sugar at home and that the purchaser is the representative of the family In buying. And a notary's seal must be attached to the request, otherwise we will let none of this sugar out, if we are able to get it, but the first car lhat, we hope to get is for babies and the sick misses .Liny, nate ana Jtiiveiyn jonn-; , - j-v . , .t t - . , ston Have returned to their home on I AhSe hlnf xt or b?Vf Tenth avenue after spending the sum mer at their country home in Gaston county.
