" WILLIAM BLADES, Foreman,,, The October term 1910, mode the fol lowing recommendation: , " We also would recommend . that a Recorder's Court, be inaugurated , for Craven county, believing that,, it would save the tax payers many theuaands of dollars, court costs etc, " Respectfully suhmitted, O. H. PIItRV, " Foreman. On these two grand juries Ikxre were only eight men from the 8th tewrmhip. Twenty-eight of these men were from the country. REASONS FOR THIS OGfaRT. A few reasons why we shrid have a Recorder's Court: Busy men from all parts of the coun try will not have to hang areuad the court house one slid week ai witnesses in petty miedemeanora; busy km wiH not have to serve on the gaand jury more than two days; there will be prac tically no prisoners in jail. The Record er's Court gives a speedy tal. The fellow who is out On bond, and whose cage is continued from , court to court becauue jail cases must be"tried first wilt be tried. This court give civil ju risdiction up to $500.00. There are over two hundred civil cases en the superior court docket now,' and a party bringing suit will have to wait over two years to get to a trial. Recorder's Court will give an immediate trial a ad cut down the superior court docket 50 per cent. Recorder's Court will be not only self- sustaining, but will pay mon?y into the town and county treasury. SPEEDY TRIAL CLEARS .DOCKET. Chairman Jeffries, of Nash county, says of the Recorder's Court In Na; h county: "It gives speedy trial of nll'tmall ca ses, both criminal and civil, thereby re lieving the dockets at the regular courts 'great saving to the county, as all ca ses are tried at once, saving jail costs our jail has had its doors thrown open many times as we had no prisoners. The court is very popular here with both the bar and the citizens of the county." SAVED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. James W. Smith, Mayor of Belhaven, N. C, say: in reference to what the people of Belhaven think of the Recor der's Court there. .".The think very highly ef it, in fact, if the court had to be ratified by submitting it to the vote of the people people again, 1 am sure there would not be an opposing vote. It has done considerable towards relieving the con gestion of the supetior court deckets of this county. In a financial way the court has saved the county several thousands of dollars, it has also saved the people of our district' eonridarable expense and time, on account of the fact that heretofore they had to attend superior court as witnesses in some lit tle frivolous case and possibly had to stay there for three or four days and often times a week where new the Re corder's Court has very nearly put an end to our people having to attend su perior court, that is in criminal eases. ALL PLEASED. T, A. Sills, clerk of the superior court of Nash county, writes: j . ; "In regard to Recorder's J art I will say the people of my county eeem high ly pleased with it. It has- relieved the congestion of the dockets ve.7 mush: For instance, the criminal docket, prior to ia establishments - generally had from 80 to !00 cafes, and now .i has about 10 to 1& Our civil docket ' is be-j ing reduced also.

The oppoaentsof the Recorder's Court have been handing put some figures that have been doped up to suit their side of the ease. ' Here, however, are some fig ures that can be verified by Mr Groves, the county Auditor.' Last year the total amount of fees paid the juries in criminal courts were $2,017 50 Feeding prisoners in the jail, 1,737.65 Making a total of . $3,755.15 In counties where the Recorder's Courts have been established, the coun ty jail has been practically free from 'prisoners, and thesame state would exist in Craven county with a Record er's Court. Thus it-can be readily seen that over a thousand dollars would be saved on the item of feeding the prison ers alone. This cannot be disputed. 4 The total amount paid to juries in criminal courts for'1910 was $2,017 50. In every one of theffe courts it took one solid week to cleaa .up the docket, in fact, the docket was never cleaned up, for the Governor had to call a special criminal term last year. In counties where it took one week to clean out the jiil, before the establishment of the Recorder's Court, now finish in two days, with rare exceptions. If this is true, had Craven county had a Recor der's Court last year, the juries, in stead of being paid $2,017.50, would have been paid $672.50 and Craven Co. would have saved $1,355 00. This added to, at least a thousand dollars saved on feeding the prisoners' in jail, would make a saving tor Craven county - of $2,30 1 alone on these two items. Another item that is a heavy drain to the county is the1 witnesses' tickets that have to be )aid by . the eounty ' to witnesses for the State who sit around court all the week to give testimeny in sages that would be disposed of by the Recorder's Court. ..vt The above figures would be an ab solute saving to Craven connty, and no intelligent man can dispute this fact. On the other hand, the Recorder's Court in other towns and couuties where it is now established, is self sustaining: is not only Belf -sustaining, but pays into the town and county treasury a large sum of money each year. The Reco'd- er's Court for New Bern and Craven county would not only pay for all the officers of the court,, save, the county a few thousand dollars as stated above, but would pay into both treasuries a sum of money that would, gladden th heart of every tax payer. FEES MORETHAN AMPLE. A tetter from the firm of Manly, Hen dron & Womble, of Winston-Salem, N. C , aays; " Since its establi-tment in 1907 this court has proven entirely satisfactory in every Way." It has relieved our su perior court of so much criminal work that we have reduced the length of our criminal terms. 1 suppose it disposes of three-fourths of the crimes committed in the county. As a result ot this the county has been relieved of a tremend ous amount of cost. ., Frortr a financial standpoint the court has' proven an entire success.. .Some time ago I tpoV the trouble to Investi gate this part of!lt with soma care, and I found that the fees paid in the court amounted to mora than enough to pay all the salaries of the officers of the oun ana tne salaries or me entire p f lice, force ofhejeity.' .i.oerujrf a(e, maa prooamy me mnaMP be, desired, is the fact that criminals; are given a speedy trial. Al most without ejeegption they are tried on the morn,ing , after .the commission of, the crime, and are either committed tor sentenced at once. This relieve the (.congestion of pur j tils on account of de f enilanta bein j . held for the superior court who are unable to give bond." WILL A RECORDER'S COUT SAVE ':t;:l Yp. MQNEY1 ' ! .;- Mr. Voier, of Crawen county, did you know that not only the last two Grand J urlef o f Craven 'county recommended the establishment jf k Recorder's Court for Craven' eounty, but "that tha last Board : of Commissioners of 1 Craven county,' in their report to the Board of Magistrates sSld:' -, ': ' ' 'I " ; : -; ''We believe Craven eounty ought to ado,it a Recorders Court. It would be a great saving', to the tax-payers and wou'd much facilitate the trial of crim inal cases.' i 4,,-", - ;" I take lt-tht every intelligent man y 1 1 Cot? t Will agree that these gentlemen were jpore familiar with the. cost of the ad ministratioa of the criminal courts in Craven couuty than the average man, for t was their .business to look in de tail after these matters, and it is need lees to say that they were thoroughly familiar - with them. A recommenda tion coming from such a source should have weight with the average man who has no time to make a personal investi gation of such matters. Here are some figures that have been compiled by H. M.N Groves, County Auditor, relative to the cost of the criminal Superior court for Craven county during the year 1910. Fees paid witnesses Fees paid solicitor Fees paid juries Fees paid magistrates in 8th, township Feeding prisoners in jail $ 832 47 183 0 2 017 50 118 28 "US? 65 Making a total of $ 4 888 90 The hiBtory of the Recorder's Cour t all over North Carolina shows that, with rare exception, the criminal Superior Court in counties where it had before taken one week to clean up the docket, after the establishment of the Record er's Court, finished by Tuesday night, Had Craven county had a Recorder's Court last year, instead of paying wit nesses for the State $832 47, it is a con servative estimate to say would not have paid them more thin $375,00, for no witness would be paid for more than two days. In fact, $375.00 is an ex tremelyIow estimate, however, this leaves a saving of $157.47. There would have been no fees paid .by the caunty to the magistrates in the 8th, township (if you don't believe this just watch the activity of certain trial magistrates who are trying to defeat this bill) hence $118.28 would have been saved. The Solicitor would have prosecuted one- third as many cases as he did; hence, instead of receiving $183.00 he would have received $61.00, and saved to the county of Craven $122.00. Instead of paying juries $2,017.50, it is a conser vative estimate to say they would have been paid a little more than a third of that amount (adding mileage, )or $800. 00, thus saving Craven county $1,217 60. It cost Craven county $1,737.65 Hast year to feed the prisoners in the jail. All over North Carolina where a Recorder's Court in now in operation, the jails are practically empty even when the Superior Court is in operation. Hence, it is safe estimate to say that had Craven county had a Recorder's Court last year it would not have paid more than $400,00 to feed the prisoners in the county j ail. This would have been a saving of $1337.65 alone on this item. What Craven county would have sav ed last year had it had a Recorder's Court as stated above. Fees paid by county to wit- - nesses $ Fees paid by county to mag istrates Fees paid by county to soli ctor Fees paid by county to juries Fees paid for feeding prison er iu county jail 457 47 118 28 125 00 1 217 50 1 375 65 Total $ 3 290 90 Hence it can be readily seen that Craven county would have saved last year $3,290 if it had had a Recorder's Court.
