Allen Presiding Cases Disposed of. Granville Superior Court convened in Oxford on Monday at 9:30. Judge O. H. Allen, who Is again presiding at this term, and Solicitor Brooks came in on the 11 o'clock Southern train Sunday. The following grand jury were drawn: J. K. Clement, Foreman, J. W. Hunt, li. M. Tunstall, John R. Currin, W. ('. Carubpell, A. T. Harris, C. H. Breedlove, W. B. Newton, T. M. Clark, J. P. Walters, Hawkins Suit, J. M.Tillotson. J. P. Stovall, J. S. Gooch, R. S. Williams, A. S. Green, R. C. Puckett, Pete Bullock. Officer In charge Mr. Hart Overton. Judge Allen's charge to the grand jury was a long one and was interest ing in that It was out of the ordi nary. Omitting a survey of the gen eral criminal law, he called the at tention of the grand jury to some of the sources of crime. Amongthem he mentioned whiskey, want of proper home training for the orphans and the Unfortunate and ignorance. But before discussing theee sepa rately he called the attention of tb.3 jury to the Importance of their posi tion as being the only means In our country by which crime can be pun ished. He praised the system as be ing the best system yet devised for the apprehension and punishment of crime. He said that a number of men would be much harder to in fluence than one man. He said that if the jury system was a failure then a Republican government was a fail ure; for both are governed by the people. Judge Allen expressed his surprise that men, especially public men, should criticise a system which had done so much for human liberty. tie spoke of the neglect of children for the want of guardians for those who have no parents, as being a fruit ful source of crime. He also spoke of the Importance of education and of protecting and fos tering our public schools, as ignor ance was a great source of crime. He said that those who were not trained and properly educated often made criminals. The importance of caring for the poor was also mentioned. He congratulated Granville county on having a good county home and requested the grand jury to go out in a body and inspect it. The old veteran Ieroy Elliott, of Oak Hill, has charge of the court room, assisted by Mr. Charlie Tur ner, while Sheriff Howard sits at the seat of custom down stairs. There are few cases of Importance this term either criminal or civil the only one being the State against John Bass for attempted rape. This case was warmly contested, able counsel being employed on both sides. The Solicitor was aided by Gen. B. S. Royster and the defense was represented by Messrs. Graham & Devin and Mr. A. A. Hicks. The docket being small court will hardly last all the week, though this is a two weeks term. The following cases have been dis posed of up to the time of going to press: State vs. Sam Slaughter, affray; guilty; fro and cost. State vs. Wm.

State vs. John Bass, colored, for assault with an attempt to commit rape on a 15 year old colored girl occupied the attention of the court Tuesday and was warmly contested Solicitor Brooks very ably assisted by General B. S. Royster vigorously prosecuted the case and both made telling speeches. The defendant was represented by ex-J udge Graham, and Messrs. W. A. Devln and A. A. Hicks, who made a brave tight for their client, but the jury after about an hour's deliberation found Bass guilty, recommending mercy at the hands of the court. Attention Jurors.

Oxford Tobacco Market Breaks each day during the past week have been good and we are pleased to note that prices on all grades continue well up to the high water mark. The offerings contain ed quite a lot of common to medium grades! but there were some good to fine wrappers which sold high-up in the forties and fifties, and sales have been lively and warehousemen and buyers took great delight In pleasing their farmer friends. Our buyers are all in good spirits and have large orders, and are therefore anxious for tobacco and want the farmers to bring their tobacco to the Oxford market. They will pay as much or more than any market in the State, and we feel sure if farmers will sell their tobacco in Oxford they will be more than pleased with your prices.
