GRANVILLE SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge McNeil! Presiding Grand Jury and
Cases Disposed of.
The November term of Granville
Superior Court convened on Monday
with his Honor Judge McNeill on the
bench. The able Solicitor Brooks,
who was re-elected by over 5,500 ma
jority, is at his post and prosecuting
the offenders against the peace and
dignity of the State with his usual
skill and ability.
The court is being run with ease by
Its courteous and efficient officers,
Dr. J. G Hunt, Clerk, and Sheriff S.
A. Fleming.
The grand jury was drawn as fol
lows: Foreman. B. F. Hester.

I. N. Watkins as officer in charge.
J udge McNeill's charge to the grand
jury was plain and practical and
covered most of the crimes against
the laws of the state, and consumed
about one hour and a half in delivery.
Judge McNeill possesses a kindly face,
an even temperament and presides
with great ease and with satisfaction
to all interested in the court.

sisted in the prosecution by Mr. W.

Messrs. W. H. Harrison, A. A. Hicks
and Judge Graham for the prisioner.
The morning hour was taken vip by
the examination of witnesses, and on
the assembling in the afternoon the
argument of counsel commeneed.The
first to speak wTas Mr. W. A. Devin,
who made quite a logical speech,
largely covering the testimony in the
case. The next speaker was the
sprightly Mr. W. H. Harrison, who
made a short, pointed speech, acquit
ting: himself exceedingly well. He
was followed by Judge Graham who
made an able defense ot the prisoner
against much odds. Senator Hicks
was next to speak in behalf of the
accused man, and also made a good
argument in favor of his client. So
licitor Brooks followed him for the
prosecution, and as usual made a
stroner and convincing speech of
about 15 minutes in length. Gen. B.
S. Royster closed the argument for
the prosecution and made a strong
argument as to the guilt of Harris
according to the testimony, which the
jury was solely governed by. He
covered main points of the testimony,
and showed that Harris wTas un
doubtedly guilty of the diabolical at
tempt to poison the whole family of
Mr. Oscar Yancey, one the lowest
and meanest of crimes that one can
be guilty of, which caused a great
deal of excitement at the time. We
commend our people for allow ing the
law to take Its course. 1 he jury,

deliberation found Harris guilty and

Oxford Case in Supreme Court.
PARKER & HUNT, Appellants, vs
BROWN. From Granville. No er
ror.
The bare representation or declara
tion of a contractor is not sufficient
proof that he was the agent of tht.
owner of the building in purchasing
lumber to be used therein.
The single fact that lumber ordered
by the contractor was used in repair
ing a building Is no evidence of rati
fication of the contractor's declara
tion that he bought the lumber as
agent of the owner of the "build
ing. Where, in an action against
the owner of a building to re
cover the value of lumber used
therein, the plaintiff relied on the
agency of the contractor, the ques
tion asked the contractor: "Were
you agent of defendant for the pur
chase of the lumber?" was properly
excluded.
lu such case, agency is not shown
by the fact that the defendant asked
the contractor if he expected defend
ant to pay for the material the con
tractor was using, and the latter re
plied that he had no money to pay
for the same and would expect de
fendant to do so, to which defendant
made no reply; nor is such agency
show n by the fact that the contractor
objected to paying for certain high
grade lumber and defendant paid the
difference between the price of such
lumber and the price of cheaper grade
and the contractor was charged with
the price of the cheaper grade.
And defendant's liability fs negativ
ed by the fact that defendant told
plaintiff to get an order from the
contractor for payment of the bill for
lumber and defendant would pay the
same, and plaintiff replied that the
contractor was "fractious" and
plaintiff did not wish to offend him
and lose him as a customer, and the
order was not procured from the
contractor until after he had volun
tarily abandoned his contract with
defendant (whereby he was to re
model defendant's house, furnishing
all material for a certain price) and
defendant's Indebtedness to him had
been settled. Charlotte Observer.

"Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer.
The secret Is out and Oxford
can
had
not
go on living just as if the riddle
never been asked.
No it can't, either. Oxford is
going: to be what it was before.
Its
nouses are going to be brighter; its
people a little more prosperous thev
are going to have some of their mou-
y leir to ouy other things with.
The answer to the riddle is this-
you can paint a building with fewer
gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint
tnan witn mixed paints, and It will
wear several times as long as a build
ing painted with lead and oil mixed
by hand.
There's proof abundant of It, all
over the United States. There will
soon be proof abundant of It in Ox
ford. What will people do witli the rest
of their money? J. F. Ed wards sells
