The defend ant prayed a judgment in a case against him at that time and judgment was'suspended on payment of the cost en condition that he would not at any time engage In the manufacture or sale of liquor. i The conditions of the bond made It perpetual. .Mr. S. E3. Hall represented Kiger to day and stated that Kiger had execut ed 'a mortgage on a piece of property Instead ot giving the bond and that he now desired to sell the property. Upon investigation it. was found that Kiger had faithfully kept the provls Ions of the bond and the same was dis solved by Judge Lyon. The present term of court has been one of the most strenuous in the his tory of .Forsyth county courts. Judg' Lyon is a hard worker and has had court convene earlier and adjourn later than usual. Almost as much has been accomplished In the last week as is sometimes done In two weeks. The court affirmed the judgment of judge Hastings in the case against L. H. Davis, charging him with inter fering with an officer. Motions in ar rest of Judgment and also for a new trial were made by Benbow and Hall who represented Mr.; Davis, buj were overruled and an -appeal was taken to the supreme court In the case of Jim Stewart iand Frank Grubbs, charging them with having "near-beer" in their place not property labeled, Hon. J. C. Buxton made a motion to quash the bill of in dictment and the motion was sustain ed. Motions were made by Mr. B. S. Womble, counsel for the defendants, to quash two warrants against J. A. Houchens and Henry Morris, charging them with buying produce without a license, and the motions were allowed. The warrants were drawn under the old English common law which for bade anyone's "forestalling" the mar ket? The law was repealed in Eng land during the time of Queen Vic torla. Judge Lvon stated that the warrant was following out Blackstone and it was drawn by an able attorney, but that he feared to think how many peo pie would be guilty of It if the law wew enforced in this county. The Jury returned a verdict in the case against Horace Bingham late n dav afternoon of guilty of mur- slaughter with a recommendation that his punishment be made as light as possible. , Judge Lyon sentenced him to four months on the county roaas the minimum punishment provided for such an offense. The evidence tended to show that the shooting was accidental. Bingham was charged with killing Aionzo ru zer several weeks ago. Tom Patterson and Daisy Ware, both colored, were convicted of f. and a. Both vere lined 5U eacn ana one- half- h costs. Patterson is to give bond in the aum of $200 to appear for two years and show good behavior. The cas was originally heard before Judge Hastings, who sentenced Pat terson to five months on the roads and Daisy Ware to five months In Jail. The court unneld Judge Hastings Judgment In the case against Connie Rurlln. colored, charging ner u keeping a disorderly house. She was given four months in jail, the same penalty Imposed by Judge Hastings. . Will Halrston, colored, who wan cuu vlcted of simple assault on May Lewis, was sentenced to the county roads for 6 months. - , Frank Walser colored, was sentenc ed to the county roads for 30 days for carrying a concealed weapon ana Judgment was suspended in the case against Mm for discharging firearms. Martha Cobb and Jessie rTuius. ored. were given 60 days in jail each . ' . . ii iL'Kala. also lor perjury, ana Aie i,..., colored, was given 20 days in jail ior the same offense. The cases arose oui of the sale of some liquor. nr Oof T Evan who now resides In Davie county, was fined $50 and the 30st for an assault on tnocu duu about two yean ago. .- Mrs. JuMa Rector, who resides in the country, was fined $5 and the cost for simple assault. Grand Jury'a Rsport The rrmnd Jury submitted Its re- iuho. Thir.thTMt bills were acted upon; 25 true bills were found. ( sot true, and I were return eu w iuh of witnesses. The court house was reported to ne The jury found a large BumheJ of old records of value In the basement and recommended that they he tabu lated and racks provided for them for future reference. The grand jury exnressed itself as being heartily in favor ot new side walks around the court house square in the following paragraph: "We most respectfully recommend that oar Board of County. Commission ers be urged to construct, at once, new walks around the square and through the court-house grounds as we find they are in very bad condi tion and, in fact, dangerous to pedes trians, and not in keeping with our magnificent court house and adjacent property." The county home was reported as being in splendid condition. A recom mendation was made to the effect that the root of the main building be painted. The water supply was found to be Inadequate but it was learned that plans are on foot already : to remedy this defect. The county Jail and the convict camps on the High Point and Lewis- vllle roads were reported to be In good condition. The reports of the Justices of the peace have been filed and the fines paid over to the county treasurer. - A recommendation was made to the effect that work-house be established by the county commissioners for fe male prisoners. .

Commission er Watson, because ot the drought this year, has received many letters from farmers throughout the state who sought advice from the state commis sion.

December 5 to 9, at Chi cago. In a recent letter to Edmund T. Per kins, managing director ot the boari of control of the National Irrigation Congress, Commissioner Watson said "Already the people here are inani testing a lively Interest In the cqn gress next December and I have per sonally urged the governor of the state to accompany the South Carolina del egation. - This he no doubt will do. I am in receipt of many letters at this office from farmers who seek informs tlon concerning the better methods to adopt In establishing irrigation sys terns. This makes It Imperative that South Carolina take an interest In the congress' work this year, tooth from drainage and Irrigation point of view. One would hardly expect a demand for irrigation here,' but we do have demand for it, and, in tact, I am pre paring right now to make a trip oui Into the state to assist a group farmers, drought threatened, in estab- llshlng an Irrigation plant. The state should be greatly interested In the ac complishments of other states In this form ot irrigation, and our delegates to ydur aongress no doubt will learn much of value of Irrigation, ' BE WASHINGTON.
