Greensboro, June 11. A mild
sensation occurrred in federal
court yesterday when the grand
jury came in to be discharged.
Mr. A. B. Coltraine, .several
times defeated for office in Ran
dolph county on the republican
ticket, had expected to present
some of the democrats of his
county, for alleged improper
conduct in connection with the
last 'election there. He found,
however, that the foreman and
some other members of the
grand jury would ; not listen to
him. He declared when the judge
was about to discharge the jury,
VYour honor, Ihave been trying
to present certain parties to the
grand jury and nave oeen pre-
. i . : j l ii..
venreu irum uunig u uy trie
district attorney." Mr,, Hammer
then, arose and said Mr. Coltraine
actuated by malice, had desired
to present some of the people of
Randolph and he had thought it
improper and would not allow it.
Judge Boyd had a few of the
grand jury come to his room and
discuss the matter : with him,
after which he announced that
it was a matter for them and
the district attorney, and refused
to interfere.

Kinston, June 11.--The Sun
day blue law that has had Kins
ton "dry as as bone", for more
than a year past on Sabbath
days, has been modified with the
result that resturants will be al
lowed to remain open four hours
at breakfast, three at dinner and
three and one-half at supper on
Sundays, instead of; only two
hours for each meal. One drug
store will be permitted to re
main open except at church
hours, the druggists alternating.
Wholesale ice cream dealers will
be permitted to be open during
the sam e hours as the resturants
and cafes. Now- when nearly
every other town around is
"dry," Kinston's aldermen are
repenting." -
