Judge Frank Daniels Con
vened Court Monday
Morning Congested
Civil Docket Being Tried
—Many Cases Compro
mised—Weather Condi*
tions Unfavorable for
Those Attending
The large number of civil cases
on the docket in Martin County
and the delay in hearing them,
caused the attorneys practicing b«re
to petition for a special term of
court. This was granted by Gov.
Kitchin and the session convened
oa Monday with Frank
Daniels, presiding. This is the
first time that Judge Daniels has
served here and both the public and
the member* of the bar art pleased
with him. His manner when off
and on the bench has given him a
strong hold upon this people-
Several of the hard-fought laud
suits nave been compromised with
advantage to contestants. There
are se\eral interesting suits in
which the Atlantic Coat I«iue Rail
road is the defendant. Hon. H.
W. Stubbs is local counsel for the
company and every inch of ground
will be warmly contested. Judge
Francis D. Winston and S. J.
Everett are appearing in several
cases. Attorneys Julius Brown, of
Greenville, and A. O. Gaylord, of
Plymouth have been here also.
The inclement weather: has oper
ated largely against the attendance
a* the roads ate muddy «»4 un
pleasant for those who must nec
essarily drive to town. Only those
who were sumaiuned to appear
have come. The session will con
tinue next week so as to clear the
entiie calendar as arranged for
trial.
