Aug. 5. — "Life is too short to fuss with neighbors about a little piece of rocky ! land," said Judge A. M. Stack . this morning, addressing the | plaintiff and defendant in a land ' suit in which property valued at ■ approximately $125 was involved, j Judge Stack is presiding at the second week of Iredell Superior court for the trial of civil cases. When the case in question was reached on the docket, tne presid ing officer requested all the jury | men to leave the room. Then he i began to ask questions, which j reveaied the following facts: Tne | persons involved in the contro ( versy are not only neighbors on I adjoining lands, but they arc kinsmen—a brother on one side is years of age, and a sisteron the other side gave her age at lit was figured that tne stri ;> of land in dispute, situated on the Wilkes county line, contained about rive acres, with an estimat ed value of sl2o. * When Judge Stack inquired as to whether the parties involved | were all members of the same church, the answer was that the men on both sides were r.ot members of any church, but that the aged sister who had seen the roses of 79 summers, was form erly a Baptist, but they dropped her name from the rolls of that denomination when she allied herself with the Christian Scientists. Judge Stack stared that he was not a Baptist, but still he had great admiration for the oldtime Primitive Baptists, who used to have regular church trials at every monthly meeting and turn out members considered unworthy, according to the Scriptural standard. "What >ou need is a genuine, oldtime revival of religion in your neighborhood." said his honor, addressing the opposing factions in the case, j "(iet srynabody to hoi J a revival meeting in the community. Call on Cyclone Mack, he will j straighten things out, all right." j A stride pla\ed over the faces of many in the cou.t room, when! the Judge made this statement,' but the sentiments were univer : 9ally approved. >ne on looker. ! who was deeply interested in the sensible and timely sentiments expressed by the occupant of the bench, said afterward that he ! came near expressing his ap-1 proval with a loud "amen," but | he refrained with the thought that the speaker was not con ducting a revival, but holding court. Judge Stack insisted that in all similar cases a compromise should be reached by the parties j concerned and thus save the cjurt costs. "Before I would 9ue j a brother or sister over a little! old piece of land," he asserted with firmness. "I would give them half of what I'ye got—l'd ALLEN BURTON HELD FOR COURT Aire.-", i At Distillery By Sheriff Dunlitp and Depu ties—Gave sßiu,imi Bond— Stills and Whiskey Taken, i Allen Burton, a young white man, of Walnut Cove, was ar rested at a distillery near Red Shoal ford on Dan river, five miles east of Danbury, Friday evening by Sheriff Dunlap and Deputies Henry Dunlap. Posey Hinchumand Hassel Ashburn. The plant, which was composed of two large copper vessels running I inty one worm, was in operation 1 when the officers came upon it. Burton was brought here Friday ' afternoon and given a prelemi nary hearing before Justice N. A. Martin, who bound him over I to Superior court in a bond of 'SI.OU".OU and he remained in the counts jail until the following day when the bond wis signed by friends aft-?r it had been re duced tO S - i'l,oll. The two stills wer» placed in the county i ill wh i j about ten gallons of whiskey was poured out. ! COUNTY ROAD BONDS SOLD Forwarded To Buyers Yester day and Cash Will Be Avai!- ablt At Once—County Ifomc Leased To R. ('. Mounce. At the regular monthlv meet ing of the county commissioners ■here Monday the sixty-thousand • dollars road bonds authorized some time since and sold to a Chicago tirm were executed The bonds have been forwarded and the county highwav commission expects to have the proceeds in hand within a week Tne money will be used for roadl f »uiiding in the county. 1 Rufus C. Mounce, who has been keeper of the county home for two or three years, was again employed by the Board as keeper i for the coming year. It is learned i that Mr. Mounce has given l ! good service during his term at j ! the home. j Rev. C. E. Crist, of Winston- Salem. who has been visiting his ;daughter, Mrs. M. O. Jones, has' returned home. _ i hate to give them all, but I would : i be willing to divide in order to live I in peace. Life is too short to fuss : with neighbors. I would move I out of a neighborhood before I ; would be in a perpetual row with those living next to me.'' Con tinuing his comment, the Judge expressed the opinion that law yers Bhc«ld assist their clients to reach a compromise in such cases, and do everything in their power to effect a reconciliation between neighbors so that they might live together in peaie: if a lawyer works out a compromise plan and it is rejected by the client, then, in the opinion of the Judge, the attorney should withdraw the case. \V.
