It was one of the most amusing cases ever heard in the Union county Superior court. Before the first witness was heard. Mr. J. C. M. Vann, for the defense, sought to have the case thrown out of court on the grounds that Mrs. Simp son, the prosecutrix, valj mentally incapacitated and that his client was therefore not legally married. "Hence." concluded Mr. Vann, "not being legally maried. the defendant cannot be guilty of abandonment." This brought Mr. A. M. Stack, for the state, to his feet. "Your honor."he -aid.

They say that they saw cotton that would not make one bale to ten acres and coin that would hardly produce the seed that was planted. Lots of people were abandoning the farms and were moving their house hold effects to some place; and on top of too much rain, which was the trontile. the boll weevil is making great Inroads on the little cotton that is left. They came back singing the praises of Union county and feeling that while our lot Is pretty hard we are in belter shape than the people south of us. The party was compos ed of Messrs. D. M..

Court CoM Twetiiy-One Days In Time The greatest blutiib rs that are i .ade in public life today are made by uireless officials. For instance, near n e lives a splendid colored citizen, ni.e who pays his debts, unit attends strictly to his own busiilescs, who was , pulled up In court for not giving in . iiis taxes. The negro did give in his p:operty and a number of white citi-! zeiis were witnesses to the fact. But from the time his returns were given, until they got on the tax hooks the.V were lost, and when tlte negro went . to the sheriff to pay his taxes he was tYKKYILS lUINIMi COTTON served with a capias. H and bis wliiU witiimsr put in their appear ance at thai lu liiiilable leritt ot coult, but did not have pull enough to get the case tnid l!iu When the next term was called the i.itto and tiU white witnesses Were there a-ain when the b. li was rung, but the court was too busy to try a case of t hat kitd. This week, when court was called, they wre once more iu ap pearance, as the negro's white neigh bors were determined that he should not suffer for the carelessness of oth ers, and the case was settled. The total loss of time was actually twen ty-one days for the defndant and three witnesses, and then it cost in actual cash enough to pay the ne gro's taxes for two years. This is not written to raise any contempt of court, but to gire those in office an idea of the trouble that a small mis take will make provided the party- cares to keep a good name and does not care to be robbed of enough cash to squash the whole business. Y'et we are called a lawless crew and don't care a whit for Justice (?) and order. A Real Country Dinner Some time ago a friend who pro fesses to like the scrlbbllugs I get out for The Journal, which I call only a waste of good ink. Invited me to come over and take a meal with him; and since chicken was a rarity, I ac cepted. When I arrived my friend and bis fine wife met me at the door and we sat on the porch aud talked war and politics, and had about de cided that congress ought to be turn ed into a bull pen and my friend had declared that if Senators Henry Ca bot Lodge and Borah could nut get the place as ohief fighters (toredores) it was all off, when the madam dis appeared toward the kitchen and in a short space someone called "dinner, dinner." I went down to the kitchen and such a meal you editors never saw. And, by the way, Liy host de clared that everything on the table except a fe- minor things to be of his own raising, and here is a partial list of them: Ham. eggs, soup, chicken, clear honey, cakes, pies, desert peaches. Jams, Jellies, rlcp. sausage and pickles of alt klndtC be sides other toothsome morsels I will not try to tell of. I will have the readers to guess what I did to these good things. After I had eaten as much as Capt. Heath did at Cncle Reese Statues' reunion the other day, I quit and began looking about tip' kitchen. The floors were as clean us water, soap and elbow grease could make them. The furniture in tin kitchen was not of the fine sort, but were as clean as the floor, and when we urose fo go back to the porch I got a big surprise. As we went through the parlor 1 saw through the open door Into the bedroom a number of new quilts stacked from the floor to the ceiling. I could not count them. How many were there? Not less than fifty, I should say. And the lady of the house has besides all this a large family to care for and all itie work to tin herself. These fine peo ple are "hoboes," or renters their name? I am not going to tell, for all the newspaper men in the state would gather in and they would treat them as royally as they did nie.

Brock of Wadesboio, who is here attending court. "Under the guise of flavoring extracts," he said yesterday, "former i.quor houses are sending car-ioadt ol intoxicating beverages in tha state." Last month Mr. Brock again con victed B. W. Barksdale, a traveling man, in Richmond county Superior court of the charge of selling ex tracts for beverage purpose. He waa first convicted about 6 months ago and sentenced to 6 months on th roads, but an appeal to the Supreme court got a new trial. On his con viction the second time, he was re sentenced to six months on the road, but capias is not to be issued it b does not again engage in the sale ot extracts. Barksdale. Solicitor Brock showed at the trial, was a salesman for Gar ret k Company, formerly large win and liquir dealerj of Norfolk, Va., but now manufacturers of "Virginia Dare" wine, a non-intoxicating bev erage. T'.-.ey extract the, alcohol, from this wine, he etated, and mar ket It as extracts, mixing it with harmless flavoring to comply with th federal statutes. The alcohol is sold under the fol lowing brands: Vanilla, lemon, bran dy, peach, banana aud rum flavoring extracts, of a perfectly harmless na ture, according to physicians who testified at the trial. The percentage of alcohol Is usually 40 per cent, the balance of the contents being 15 per cent harmless flavoring and water. "One physician testified." said Mr, Brock, "that one could become dead drunk from drinking the extracts yet feel no effects at all from the flavor ing Ul the beverage." Garrett k Company, he said, (ell their products In half-pint bottles at $15 per dozen wholesale, while it il retailed at $2 to $2.50 the bottle. It finds a ready sale. There is no law prohibiting the sale of extracts except for beverage purposes, and to secure a conviction, said the Solicitor, ... the prosecution must show that It was sold for this purpose. Barksdale was convicted on the evidence of the police, who overheard him arguing about the merits nf tils concoctions as a bever age to a would-be customer. ENRICO CAKISO.
