Although there has been 110 anx iety u4 tortiui character of Governor Bryan's speech of ac ceptance manifest, unquestionably the managers of the Dem ocratic party breathe easier since reading the address of Ne braska's governor. Until now the impression lias been cultivated by many Republicans that the Presi dential :n^| Vf'-e Presidential' nominees could be counted upon to be at opposites on -fxtWic ituestious-.and that the voter would not be consider ing candidate's standing bn the party platform but two men who would interpret it in different ways. .

COURT MAKING GOOD PROGRESS Judfse Lyon Brook* No De lay and Cmcs of Minor lm|M>rtance are I)i*|M>*ed of in Short Order. ? Although only minor cases had been disponed of up to Tuesday night, the session of Superior Court beginning here Monday with Judge Lyon uf Elisabeth town presiding made remarkable headway for the first two days ol the session. ' Judge Lyon brooks no delay and keepn the wheels of Justice in continual motion from the opening of court until re cesses are taken at close of fore noon and afternoon sessions. Wheeler Smith and Irving Whltehurst, accused of breaking into the Elisabeth City Milling Itn 1 1 rl 1 n u| on SCnnHny or Sunday night, May 11 and of lar ceny. were found guilty Tuesday afternoon on both charges and were given a sentence of two years on the roads In each charge. The defendants entered a plea of nolo contendere as t?? other charges against them and prayer for judgment was continued. Matachi Costen. who is accused of breaking into the home of. George K. Wright, 412 West Main Street, one day 1m July while tbc family was away, and stealing a number of articles of Jewelry, was likewise found- guilty of house breaking and lareenr and was likewise given a two-year term or the roads for each offense, or a i total aentenr,. of fonr years Smith, Whltehurst and Costen are all negro youths apparently under 21 years of age. Roosevelt Brothers, colored, given a road sentence In record er's court for assault with deadly weapon, submitted to the charge j after introducing evidence to show extenuating circumstances and indicating tbat the man whom he nssaulted. Holly Griffin, should have been Indicted for par ticipating In an affray, and wiih let off with a fine of $25 and costs. George J. Kerr, indicted by M. M. Hurdle for larceny of a wood saw and gas engine, was dis charged by the court on condition that he return the saw before the end of this week. ?The pros ecuting WHneBf, it appealed, had grounds for civil rather than criminal action but Judge Lyon forestalled necessity for such ac tion by securing the agreement of the defendant promptly to return the saw and engine in question. Alex Armstrong was called and failed and Judgment nisi, si fa and capias was entered against him. Joe Swindell, when he faces a Jury of his peers In I'asqiiotank Superior Court this week, will not be tried for his life; the grand Jury having failed to find a true bill against him on the charge of rape but presenting him -on tha. charge of criminal knowledge of a girl under the age of consent.
