Dock Aiken ami Paul Tingcn was gone into Tues i iv and consumed nearly the whole dav and a large part of Wednesday. These are two young white men charged with breaking and entering the nilrnad det)ot at Creedmoor. One other, young Ollie Neville, was also ac cused of the Fame offense but he turned States evidence and was used as a witness against the other two. Ap pearing with the Solicitor for the State was Cen. Royster ami Graham & Devin. Aiken was defended by T. T. Hicks, of Henderson, and young Tin gen by Hicks & Stem. Young Neville went on the stand and gave a circumstantial account of his actions telling that the other two were with him and that the three com mitted the crime. At the conclusion ..t young Neville's testimuny the State offered to show the previous good char acter of the hoy. The defendants ob jected and the Jud.e refused to permit the introduction ot such evidence, say ing that the State could not be per mitted to stultify itself bv showing the sood c liaracterof the infamous "young reirobate." as he called Neville. The most exciting part of the trial came Wednesday morning after the evidence was all in and after the Solis- itur had concluded his address to the jury. By some means information had been conveyed to the State's counsel that Aiken had been endeavoring to tamper with the jury. Upon investi gation it developed that Aiken had slept the night before with one ot the jurors. J. A. Adcock, and had drank whikey with another, Paul Burchett. When this was called to the attention of the Judge he caused all three to be laced under arrest and cause a rule to be served on them commanding them to show why they should not be attached and punished for contempt. In a crowded court room Wednesday afternoon the hearing was had. Mr. i. T. Hicks, for Aiken, submitted an answer admitting the cupability of his conduct and throwing himsel upon the Court. The two jurors through their counsel. Mr. D. G. Brummitt, filed an swers admitting on the part of Adcock that he had slept with Aiken on the preceding night and on the part of uurcnett that he had drunk some wlu.sKey with Aiken. Burchett swore that the whiskey was his some that he had ordered, intending to take it home with him, and only took it out that night because Aiken wanted some. Both said in their answers that they had never served on a jury before and did not know that their conduct was in any way wrong or improper and that they had not discussed the case with Aiken. In this last they were born out by the answer of Aiken. The Judge heard no sworn testimony except the answering and upon them adjudged that all three were guilty of con tempt of Court and told the two jurors that they might take their choice of HEARD Around ire CORNER m!n? k !i is Ver the arden wall to the mint bed. uon t be down and out get down, why crawl out.

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR COUNTY TREASURER. I hereby announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for County Treasurer, subject to the action of the primaries and convention. I am in the race to win and any support given me will be greatly appreciated. Nat M Cannady, (May 3-tff) Brassfield Township. A Peep at Bench and Bar. When we looked in upon Granville Superior Court the noonday sun sent a beam across the bar. The rotund figure and severe but handsome fea tures of Jude Carter i mnrpsspi no In front of him, ready for battle, were the war horses of Granville Graham, Royster, Hicks, Stem, Devin, Brummitt, i-asbiier and L.anier. rheie they were we were never mistaken in a Iawuat'o face; the avocation is betrayed to the observant eye by a certain inscrutable expression, technical cast and habit of mmo.and as we gazed upon the scene it occurred to us that no nrofession offers such extremes of glory and of shame; of the positive romance of tracing the title of an estate far back uirougn the ramifications of family uiBiory, oiten Dnngmg to light the mos curious historical facts and rpmarlcn able personal incidents; questions of propriety, heirship, of fraud and di vorce. It is whispered abroad that there are members of the Oxford bar who sleep with the Code beneath their pillows. This may or may not be true, but what interested us most was the precission in the statement of facts; a dramatic style of narrative, and the intellectual process by which one of the ledal lidhi of the State seeks his ends, and another wno seeks to assert his claim." The hour spent in old Granville Court revealed many things to our minrl There is a peculiar kind of impudence exhibited by the lawyer, which is called badgering a witness." but it is henpath the dignity of the Oxford bar, nor do they tantalize each other as do law yers in some parts of the State. We did, however, detect the keen look of distrust and the smile of increduilty on the handsome face of one attorney, but a gentle retort from the bench diverted our gaze, and as we looked upon the bench, the bar and the jury we seemed to behold the principles of justice as it exists in the verv pig ments of humanity, and to stand on the primeval foundation of society; the searching struggle for truth, the con cientious applicattion of law to evi dence, the appeal of the defence, the constant test of inquiry, of reference to statues and precedent, the lumni ous arrangements of conflicting facts by the judge, his impartial deductions and clear and final statements seemed to widen the function and the glory of human life and liberty. Assessing and Listing Property. As a preliminary to the tax asses sors taking up their duties in all the counties of the State during the month of May in assessing and listing property and polls the corporation commission, as State tax commission, is sending a special letter of instructions to all the countv assessors, the special burden of which is for the county assessors to get the township listers and assessors in a conference and agree upon spe cific standars of value for listing taxes so that there may be the greatest possibl uniformity. The commission also calls attention to the fact that in the assessment last year there was a considerable falling off in the listing of incomes and considers this due to evasion that the assessors and listers can avoid with due attention. This falling off of income taxes was in SDite, the commission says, of a general in crease of 20 per cent in taxables gen erally in the State. The commission urges that the listers pay special at tention this year to getting personal property on the tax lists and proper valuation. Mr. J. F. Puckett, of Route 4, was in town Tuesday. Mr. M.

Just as Sure Always Safe No Bad Effects Ever Follow This Pleasant Tasting Liquid. As a remedy for torpid liver calomel has more than met its match in Dod son's Liver-Tone. It does not lash the liver on to perform its work at the cost of its strength. Coiomel depends for its power upon exciting the liver to do more work, and often the liver is too weak to stand such treatment, and you are worse off than before. Dodson's Liver-Tone cannot cause any of the dangerous effects that often follow the use of colornel. It is entire ly vegetable and pleasant to the taste and is suitable for children and grown people. Get a 50c bottle at The Lyon Drug Store under the guarantee that if it doesn't satisfy you that it is a perfect substitute for calomel you get your money back. II 1
