The San Antonio Express la talk ing about "What the World Owes to the Doctors." The question is less Important to the doctors than is the problem of what the world is going to pay.

It is announced from Raleigh that the new code of North Carolina laws goes Into effect August 1st, but Chairman Womack, of TheCodeCom mlseion, says It will not bi printed before October 1st. All the amend ments are In type, but this will have to be re-arranged, a work of much labor. Says the Reldsville Review: "Have you ever happened to meet the girl who is always posing. There are girls, and many of them who are af fllcted with this habit." Have you ever met a young man who Is always pro-posing? There are young men and many of them, who are afflicted with that habit. The policemen are up against it in North Carolina. Two are sum marily dismissed from theGreensboro force for indulging In a plate of Ice cream at a place where they hadn't oughter, and now the bluecoats are forbidden to smoke while on duty in Charlotte. Truly the guardian of the peace have fallen on hard lines. H ome people feel proud of their town when it is kept in a cleanly condition, and they are glad to speak of It to others.

Granville Superior Court convened In Oxford on Monday the 31st of July. Judge Wm. B. Council, of Hickory, presided, taking the place of Judge Ward, who was expected to preside. The following composed the grand jury. A. C. Parham, Foreman, A. H. Tingen, G.--W. Royster, W. E. Estes. Geo. W. Hart.J.Li. Clark,.!. H.Coley, VV. H. Upchurcb, A. O'Brlant. R. V. Blackwell, J. Ii. Rlggan, J. D. Davis, S. D. Bragg, B. T. Hicks, R. M. Tun stall. D. W. Adcoek, Norman Daniel, A. II . Owen. . The charge of Judge Council to the grand jury was impressive. It cov ered the criminal law, or the most Important part of It, and was a very practical application of the law as to the duties of the grand jury. In the opening words of his charge Judge Council spoke of the Importance of the work done by the grand jury and showed the great advantage of the system. He called special attention to two criminal offences and urged the grand jury to dothelr duty con cerning them. These were the slan der of Innocent women and the carry ing of concealed weapons, pistols, knucks and razors. In speaking of the former offeuce Judge Council grew eloquent. He spoke of how men who commit offences against so ciety and the law, retains their posi tion in society while an lnnoceut wo man often by one reputed offence of a slanderous tongue falls never to rise again. He spoke of how common was the offence of carrying concealed weap ons, and urged the grand Jury to do their full duty with this class of of fenders. His old friends hardly recog nized Solicitor Brooks, since his trip to the Pacific Coast and Eewls & Clark exposition. He has traveled through eighteen States and crossed the Rocky Mountains four times. He has gained in flesh, and has his hair cut short, dispensed with his mus tache. Evil doers find him a vigor ous prosecutor always. There were no cases of special im portance for trial at this term. Both the criminal and civil dockets were light. The following cases were disposed of: State vs. Glomer Kearney, a. w. d. w.; guilty, 6 months on' the roads. State vs. Thomas Parker, carry ing concealed weapons, guilty: fined $10 and cost. State vs. Thomas Parker and E. N. Gooch, affray; guilty as to Parker udgment suspended upon payment of cost. State vs. G. S. Rogers, appeal re manded to Justice of Peace. State vs. Eugene Gooch, tresepas, ullty, judgment suspended upon payment of cost. State vs. Jessie Jones, Thad Aiken, John Chappell and Claude ryon, forcible trespass in opening a street in Creedmoor. not guilty. The case was hotly contested by learned and able council on both sides, Ex-Judges Graham, and Winston, Solicitor Brooks and Capt. W. A. Devln for State, and Gen. B. S. Royster, MesBrs. T. T. Hicks and H. M. Shaw for the defendants. After several hours of arguments and the citing or many authorities bearing on the case Judge Council promptly decided that de fendants were not guilty. Notice of appeal was given. The other cases rowing out of the opening of streets were continued. State vs. Alex Kearney.affray.guil- ty, $10 and cost. Two divorces were granted Nannie N. Riley from A. M. Riley, and Ste phen Cooper from Kate Cooper. State vs. Eugene Daniel, guilty of manslaughter. 20 years in Peniten tiary. S. V. Morton vs.- R. J. Aiken, for damages in a trade for a machine, verdict for $75 in favor of Morton. The docket was completed about 1 o'clock Wednesday, and Judge Coun cil and Solicitor A. L. Brooks, left for their homes on the 2:15 train over the Seaboard Railroad. Gold Ore That Assays $138,000 Per Ton. News of the most wonderful and by far the most Important gold strike In the history of the Wood river mlnlnsr district, 35 miles from this place, reached Meeteetse today, The rock has been assayed by experts and Its richness is marvelous. Some sample assays were sent away and the returns show that the rock car ried gold to the value of $138,000 a ton. This rich ore Is found on the sur face of the Smuggler claim, owned by the Shoshone Mining Company, and was formerly the property of Elmer S. Dundv. one of the owners of the Hippodrome In New York. He sold his Interest to the Shoshone Compa ny, retaining: some of the shares to the value of the property. A force Is at work opening the mine bv means of an open cut. Men are kept on guard continually, as the ore Is so rich that fortunes could be carried away In a night. Meeteetse Wyo., Dispatch.

Fort and took his beloved son, William Edward, aged 16. In early life he gave his heart to God and united with the Methodist church at Oxford. He was a model young man and always proved It by his dally walk In life. This was attested by the large crowd that attended the funeral. To us this seems a strange Providence that one so-pure, lovely and In the very bloom of life with such a bright future should be eo soon cut down. But we know that "God doeth all things well," that He makes no mistakes and In someway It Is best for all concerned, "For all things work together for good to them that love the Lord." We will think of him as being In Heaven and may it be another tie binding us to that blest abode. He was laid to rest and many beautiful flowers were placed on his grave. Many expres sions of appreciation of his gentle consecrated life were heard on every hand and we parted feeling that we had done all we could for him. But Edward's Influence still lives and will live forever. It is with sadness that we write of the death one so pure, noble and true. "But God doeth all things well." Therefore be it resolved, 1st. That we tender our heartfelt sympathy to Sovereign CD. H. Fort iJ bereaved family In their dark hour of affliction praying God's bless ings upon them, and trusting that father, mother, sister and brothers may live the true life and meet him In that home not made with hand eternal In the Heaven. 2nd. That a copy of these resolu tions be spread upon the record 01 the lodge W. O. W., a copy be sent to the bereaved family and one to the Public Ledger for publication. H. J. COUNCIL, CAM HUNT, J.
