On ;
The August criminal term of the
Superior Court was convened here this
N ;'-. .'. . ' .'
mornang, , Judga w. A. Devin of
Oxford is presiding. He will con
duct the courts in this district for
the ensuing six months. .
Judse Devin Is one of - the young
er members of the Superior Court
bench .and he handled the business of
the court this morning with a dis
patch that is pleasing to those who
have to do with the tribunal. His
charge . to the grand jury was com
paratively brief and to , the point.
lie amphasised most forcefully the
duty of tb Jurors as sworn offi
cers of the law to look into the com
mission i of crime against the ; laws
of the 1 d, without fear or favor.
to investigate the conduct of the va
rious county institutions and to re
port on any conditions that were not
what they should be. - '
Judge Devin laid particular stress
upon the dangerous practice "of car
rying concealed weapons and gave it
as his opinion that it was too easy
for the dangerous class of man to
provide themselves ' with ir arms
to kill somebody with at the slightest
provocation. He touched upon the
keeping of Ibawdy houses and said
the officers of the law could make
eases against such defendants upon
the atrehgtbof the geheraLj'Qputation
of the ohuse and the proprietor and
that the actual 'illicit relations were
not required to be proven. 'He did
not. thank it right to impose; upon
other communities by sending -unfor
tunate women away and suspending
udgment but thhought k best to Im-1
pose such penalties as the evidence
warranted and have the convicted de-,
fendant pay. Tho- violation of the
liquor traffic, danger of lynch law
mentioned. All jurors, court a t-
naches, witnesses, attorneys and
othbrs having business -with the court
must be on hand when their names :
were called or cases were ready to
be taken up, said Judge, Devin. - '
There are sixty-om cases on the '
docket for the Week's term. ' None
is of very great interest.

tion of foreign-born residents of the
United States and especially for alien
candidates : for citizenship During
the' last scholastic year the ' public
school authorities of j approximately
G50 cities and towns in 44 States of
the Union were co-operating with the
Bureau of 'Naturalisation of the U.
Department of Labor in this
branch of iU educational activity. Ac
cording "to information thus far re
ceived by the Bureau, nearly 100 oth
ers have signified their intention of
oining in the movement and all in
dications now point to a most grat
ifying record for the 1910-17 school
year.
Jt is the desire of the Bureau of
Naturalization that public School
nght classes be installed wherever
ho need exists for the education and
Americanisation of foreigners. This
field of 'operation-'bf the public school
field "of 1 (potation of the public
schools is not limited to those who
have applied , for naturalization. It
intended to include all foreign-born
esidents whose instruction in. Eng
lish and civic? 'would,' beyond ques
tion, result not only in great person
al ttfnefit t othemsclves, but would
be of signal advantage to the city
in which they reside and, logically, to

The second week of the 1916-17 to

the high prices' which prevailed 'dur
ing the first flays. ; A total of 44,722
pounds was iold on the local market
today. The average was $20.08 per
hundred. Pretty fair for Monday.
In fact, there is nothing of the "bhie"
element about the five tobacco ware

for the prices that are being paid for
the biggest crop of this section is
enough to put the "smile that doesn't
