Blackburn cannot produce or even suborn awitness who wllf testify to a single fact therein alleged; . If the other allegations in his complaints are equally as false there was absolutely nothing in his contest'' : Communicated Editor Journal: I wish you would try to find out how the public roads in the Eighth Township are to be kept in repair. It is noised abroad that there ia no law to compel hands to work these roads as there is a tax levied for this purpose. Now if this tax levy exempts all the hands that were subject to the roads, are we not entitled to some of the money to keep the roads in repair, un til the road building force comes our way T I suggest that the overseers be employed to put these roads in repair at a reasonable cost Neuse road 'from the Railroad to Bachelors Creek is in need of work, also the road leading from Neuse to Trent roads by Clark. 1 hope our County Commissioners will take up this matter at their Janu ary meeting, and if they need more law, let them call on the legislature and have some law passed that will remedy the defects. , Respectfully, JOHN HUMPHREY.

F IGIAL Talk of Establishing Guilford County. One SPECIAL SESSION OF FEDERAL COURT Delay in The Proceedings Regarding the Execution of Frank Bohnnnon. Appeal in the Frazier-Jone Cane. Youthful HoiiKe Breakers. Association of Colored Teachers. (Special Correspondence.) Greensboro, Dec 29 Next Monday, a one weeks term of the Superior court will begin here for the trial of civil cases only. After a weeks intermission another one weeks term of civil cases will be held beginning January 14. Many of the lawyers this morning upon looking over the calendar of cases set for trial next week, an i realizing that scarcely any of them will be tried with the prospect of nothing to do on Mon day and Tuesday were outspoken in their determination to get a special court district created for Guilford coun ty and suggestions- were made looking to calling a meeting of the bar and ap point a committee to especially look in to the matter. It never seemed to oc cur to some of them, that if they would seek to reform the present practice of conti nuing cases by courtesy, or by swapping, and allow the Judge to have cases tried when they were called and then having to adjourn court for lack of a case being on the calendar for trial, much of the present congestion of the docket would be relieved and the nec essity of creating a new district and getting another lawyer a place on the bench would be avoided. Some of the lawyerslhiS morning, said it would be unfair to Solicitor Brooks, who had just been elected to another term as Soli citor of the present Judicial District to create a new circuit entirely out of Guilford, and thereby legislate him out of the other counties. Another lawyer said he had heard that Solicitor Brooks would not fight the proposition, as it would give a new Solicitor to another portion of the dis trict, which is almost co-extensive with the 5th Congressional district and would insure to his benefit, should he decide to make the race for Congress in 1908. . It is generally understood that Judge Shaw will be the Judge, should this Guilford county district be created. Almost all the" judges who have re cently held court here have suggested the creation of a city criminal court, with a judge to dispose of misdemeanor cases, give speed to trials and keep the jail from being kept full, but the law yers seem rather inclined to stick to the old style, and have them a new dis trict superior court, regardless of the expensive and unsatisfactory present court machinery. On January 14th the United District and Circuit Courts will begin a special session here for the trial of the Bank ruptcy cases of Simmons Hardware Company creditors against Hardin, Davis and others of Wilkesboro. At the last term of Court Judge Boyd said this case ought to be tried before he passed sentence on two of the parties who had been convicted in the court of frauds against the governmet as Deputy col lectors. This session is also called to try the Government against the Charlotte CoU ton Mill men, who are charged with violating the immigration laws, in im porting a lot of cotton mill operatives from England. -Although the Supreme Court decid ed nearly two weeks ago, that Frank Bohannon the negro in jail here con demned to be hanged for murder of rail road formean Beachman last July, was not entitled to a new trial, the clerk of the court here baa received no official notice of the decision from the clerk ofthe Supreme Court The law says that forthwith" upon rendering its de cision, the clerk shall forward it to the Superior Court, Clerk of the County, and a duplicate to the Governor. - Since the same statue provides, that tr.e governor sn.u ; execution, not lew than 30 days from thedata of receiving the notice, the liilla Inno-nr lu on """----- me, man m uiumm vi n if the clerk of the Supreme Court, should choose to wait a month before sending the official notice, it could be almost Indefinitely postponed. The clerk here this morning said he suppos ed the Supreme Court had not ',0 fficial ly" notified their clerk as a case decid ed over two months had not yet been certified and litigants were clamoring for their money. In the case of Frazier Jones, sentenced to be hanged Jan. lb for murdering his wife Thankfgiving day' the sppoal has ,i'tn pi-rfi-d.-il. AnnHr st.rn'- NEW looseness of the law is the fact, that this case may never be heard in the Supreme court. It is said that by per fecting the appeal, Jones will have at least a respite until June, because the case will not be reached until April. By that time, if he nor his friends Vaise enough money to pay for the argument and expense of a law yer, the appeal will simply be droppod. and he can feel grateful a; having had that much longer lease of life. There are a great . many, too many loose screws in the administration ot the criminal laws in North Carolina even after having had every advantage of the state, a plainly guilty desperado or murderer happens to get convicted. Squire D. H. Collins yesterday ren dered his decision in the case against the eleven small white boys who are charged with entering the offices at the Southern railway station and stealing money, stamps etc, and bound to them over to Syperior Court The young sters were given a hearing before Squire Collins several days ago, and judgment in the case was reserved. They were placed under bonds of $30 each, which all except Leslie Wil mouth gave, he being placed in jail to await the Febuary criminal term of Superior Court. At the Session this morning of the National Association of Colored A.&. M. Colleges which convened here yes--terday, Prof. Williams of Hampton, Va., a representative of the Agricul tural Department of the U. S. made instructive ard interesting addresses. The season will close to-night with election of officers, and a banquet. Many prominent colored educators are present, representing institutions in North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Flor ida, aid Alabalma. A Misinterpretation. There has been some misinterpreta tion of the law in regard to the pro ceeds of the dispensary. The support ers of the measure are putting forth great efforts ou the strength that the proceeds will be used for improving the streets, and i the benefit of the schools. We fina that that the Watts law provides that one half of the reve nue derived from the dispensary is to be devoted to the city schools and one half to the county schools, thus leaving the street improvement proposition en tirely out of the question unless the citizens apply to legislature for the privilege by special act of making use of the money for the purpose of street 'improvement. If the dispensary project is carried the people of the county have aright to demand and will demand that the proper portion of the dispensary money shall be devoted for the use of the county schools as they will help to make the dispensary possible. Woodmen's Day Today. The event that has been in prepara tion for many weeks will transpire to day in the celebration by the Woodmen of the world. As has been stated the Woodmen do not say much but they are sawing wood all time and the parade and annual meeting today is one way in which they do it The order haa grown very much the past year and they hold out good inducements to join. 1 he pa rade will be the big feature of the day and dead pet pie will arise out of thiir graves to see so unusual a sight Following is the line of march whii-h commences at two o'clock.
