Judge Allen's Charge to Grand Jury Cases Thus far Disposed of. The Superior Court of Granvlllo county convened in Oxford on last Monday morning at 11:30, Judge Oliver H. Allen. Judge presiding, ar riving on the 11 o'clock train over the Southern. Judge Allen held court here in 1897, and made many friends among: our people. The following gentlemen composed the grand jury: J. H. Terry, Forman, H, D. Man- gum, ,J. Ij. uiarK, u. k.t. lsuiiocK, xt. j. . Slaughter, W. IS. Mayes, J. CJ. JJavis, John Beal, L. M. Carrlngton, W . D. Thomasson, B. T. Williams, A. S. Pitts, J. A. Shotwell, V . T. Puckett, It. A. Eoyd, ft. I. Mulcbi, I). T. Cot- trell and J. E. Ford. The officer In charge Is J. B. Adcock. Dr. Ii. W. Hobgood is assisting Sheritt Howard in running the court. Judge Allen's charge to the grand- jury was a very gooa ana practical charge. It was certainly out of the ordinarv He omitted a good ueai of the old routine which is generally given In charge and which all the people know; while ro called atten tion to things not generally known by the average man and which are often omitted. He commenced by calling the attention of the jury to the importance ox their position to the county. He told them that they could not try cases but that their province was to say who ought to be tried. He called their special attention to two particular sources of crime want of parental care and the use of liquor. He mentioned the fact that experts who had made it a life study had said ttiat 85 per cent, of the criminals were from persons who had not had the proper parental care or other training. He also said that of those included In the above class and others seventy five per cent, of criminals were those who were drinkers, or were in some way effected by strong drink. "How im portant then." said he, "that the whiskey laws" should be enforced. Next Judge Allen mentioned gam bling. He said that this was a speculative aere. That men were restless and nervous and wanted to make money fast. They cannot wait to make it In the regular way They wished to get money without working for It that is get something for nothing. He called attention to the fact that while there was some difference between this and stealing that It was, in effect about the same Erettlne something for nothing. He urared the jury to do their duty here He recommended that tne grana jury visit and Inspect the county home In a body and not by commit tee, as Is generally done. Their at tention was also called to the exami nation of the offices of the county officials. The charge was such a charge as Is always needed and which jurymen should heed. J udge Allen Is well known in Gran ville and has many relatives here. He Is a brother of Judge W. R. Allen who so ably presided at the two preceedlng terms of Granville superior court. His friends are always glad to see him in Oxford. The astute, able Solicitor Brooks, who is the peer of any prosecuting attorney In North Carolina, Is sus taining his well earned reputation in looking after the state's Interest. Court will continue until Saturday morning; possibly longer. There are few cases of much Importance. Perhaps the most important case Is the State vs. Walter Sherron charged with slandering Miss Electa Loyd, which is now being tried. The following cases have been dis posed of. State vs. Mary Moseley, larceny; guilty; judgment suspended on pay ment of cost. State vs. John May, assault; plead guilty; judgment suspended on pay ment of cost.

Gashed and Bleeding She Fought for Honor Against a Negro's Brutal and Merciless Might. Rocky Mount special to News and Observer, August 1 : One of the most brutal and fiendish crimes ever com mitted within the borders of North Carolina occurred about Ave miles from this place, in Edgecombe coun ty, this afternoon. A negro brute went to the home of Mr. Paschal Long, who was away from home, and made an Improper proposition to his wife, which was resented. The brute then assaulted her with razor, terribly cutting her hand and arms and choking her severely, finally dragging her from the house nto a thicket near by and accom plished his purpose. The lady fought heroically ior ner honor, but the brute strength of the negro was too great to successfully resist. A yard doer of Mr. Long attacked the negro when he assaulted the wife and mother but the brute soon ended the brave dog's life by cutting his throat with the razor. After the consummation of his foul crime against defenseless woman hood the negro fled. Later his vic tim was found bleeding and uncon scious. The alarm was given at once and the neighborhood aroused. A posse is now scouring the woods for the find, and if found Judge Lynch will end his career in short order. Hit by the Trust The expected has happened. The tobacco trust has sent the price of tobacco down to or below the cost of production, in the face of the fact that the crop is known to be much less than an average. Last year the Imperial and the American Tobacco Companies were both on the mar kets In North Carolina and ths crop was larger than this year. And yet competition forced fair prices. To ward the close of the season these two giant trusts united and almost immediately the price ol tobacco went down twenty-five per cent. A telegram from Wilson elsewhere shows that the trust has made up its mind to take this year's crop at the cost of production. Some of the farmers took it off of the floor of the warehouses and carted it back home rather than sell It below the cost of production. There Is not a better tobacco market in the South than Wilson. It is the largest bright leaf tobacco market in tne State. Its to bacco people are second to none In enterprise and fairness. They al ways pay the highest price the mar ket affords. Ny other town can or will pay better prices. The reduction In Wilson shows that the trust has pushed the price down. "O it Is ex cellent to have the strength of a giant, but It Is tyrannous to use it as a giant." What will the farmers do about it? Will they haul their tobacco to mar ket and ive it to tbe trust? or will they hold it? A serious question confronts them and all the tobacco section, calling for consideration and united action.
