Superior Court -Draw La rge Crowds Docket Has Flood of Cases Against Selling and Giving Cigarettes to Minora. , Large crowds are attending court this week. It makes one think of the courts many years ago. The Febru ary term opened Monday with Judge B.F. Long, one of the ablest trial Judges in the state presiding. Our new solicitor Gilmer Jones, brother of G. Lyle Jones, resigned, was here for his first court representing the State and gives promise of being a good solicitor. ' The former solocitor who is now practicing law in Asheville was here to start him off on the right foot. Mrs. McCarthy of Asheville is court stenographer. Claude Haynes is making a splendid clerk of the court and Sheriff Cabe is proving to be a very good officer with good deputies to aid him, , There was .It flood of .cases against dealers for selling and individuals for giving cigarette to boys under 17 years of age. ) A jury acquitted Sam Jones, em ployed by J. K.. Thigpen & Co., of sell ing in three cases. Another jury acquitted Homer Davis who was carg- ed with giveing "coffin tacks" to Junius Davis, 12 years of age, Cases against Mrs. Capps and John R. Carswell were continued on ac count of illness. Cases against Harry Evans and Charlie McNabb were also continued to the July term. The case against . Clark Edwards for giving one cigarette to Junius Davis was dismissed on payment of costs. Hurst and Otis Burgin were fined 100 each and costs while Joe Mor- mino was fined $200 and costs. James Christopher and Robert M. Wells both submitted to the charge of distilling and were given jail senten ces, to be assigned to work on the Haywood county roads. Christopher drew 5 months while Wells who is a South Carolina man of 20 years drew 4 1-2 months. They were caught by Deputy Heatherly on last Christmas Eve at the still making a run. Min- gus Trull was also there, but the other men said he only chanced to be there and had no connection or in terest in the still, so he was acquitted. John Hyatt, colored, who had car nal knowledge of a -13-year old col ored girl, Mallie Gray, was given 18 months on the roads. If the girl had been a few months younger a death sentence would have faced him, A habeas corpus proceeding from Canton was brought before Judge Long which had a lot of real human interest in it He has taken it under advisement. A Mr. and Mrs. Grogan of Canton died of tuberculosis, leav ing three small children. Grogan was a member of the Junior Order and W. J. Ball, another member, was appointed guardian. The organisa tion has an orphanage: and school with hospital features in Tiffin, O. Admission was secured for the chil dren and the . two - older ones were taken there, but Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Osborne of Cruso who were taking care of the baby which is a beautiful, intelligent girl less than two years old, refused to let. her go, as they had become so attached to it and believ ing they were carrying out the dying wishes of the child's mother in keep ing and caring for it. The child on a test by Judge Long clearly recog nised Mrs. Osborne as its mother and cried for her, calling her "mother." She was. not satisfied to be with any other person. It was not satisfied to go to Sheriff Cabe, Judge Long or to Mrs. McCarthy, the stenographer. Rev. R. A. Sen telle, superintndent of schools said the Osborne were well able and qualified to take care of the little one that they lived in a good rural neighborhood with a good school and church advantages and that Mrs. Osborne is one of the best Women in the whole county.

There is a place I've seen in. dreams; Amid tall peaks, and vales and streams; Where all is pleasing and.is fair; . And I imagine I am there. My' time is all my very'own," With no one there, but God, alone. Away from the world and all its wiles, From foolish notions and from styles; Beyond the ken of human eyes, Underneath the fair, blue. skies; : . With mountain peaks to smile on me, Where I can breathe and feel so free. I'm in a haven of delight. In ecstacy both day and sight. No bill collectors haunt me here; There's naught to cause me any fear. I read, or write, and take my ease, , And do just anything I please; ' I sing and whistle day by day And drive dark thoughts and care away; My sleep is like a child's repose, Without a dread of harm or foes.

NEW VISION OF NORMA TAL- MADGES "PANTHEA" COMING. Sensational Drama Which Made Star Famous Was Revived Upon 'Pop- . ' ular Demand. "Panthea," by all odds the greatest photoplay in which Norma Talmadge starred, has been revived by Selznick Pictures and will be the featured at-1 traction at tne Victory Tneatreeb. Mto . :'''' ; Directed by Allen Dwan, than whom the screen boasts no more- prominent figure in production activities, "Pan-, thea". brings with it a plot that is surcharged with all the elements of entertainment snobbery, intrigue, tragedy, romance and humor. . It's all there, bound together in an enthralling story of the great love of a Russion woman for a man in whose abilities she sincerely believes. So deep is the love of Panthea for this man that she sacrifices her honor in order to raise him to the pinnacle of success of which she dreams. "Panthea" is a fast moving story with the requisite punch to give it a place among the great films of all time. It has for a background the shadows of a Nihilists-torn Russia in the days before chaos held the land in its tragic grasp. The role of Panthea will be remem bered' throughout Miss Talmadge's screen career as her crowning achieve ment MACK BENNETTS GREATEST EFFORT SOON TO BE SHOWN. Waynewood Theatre Announce That They Have Secured from United . Artists the Tear's Greatest Comedy Effort. Mack Bennett's newest eomedv ere-1 stion, a five part comedy production, , Down on the Farm," regarding which ; there has been no end of exception-J ally favorable comment since its is- suance bv United Artista Corpora- Won, will be the feature at the Wayne- j wood Theatre on Feb. 18 and 19 giving j the people of this community the op portunity of witnessing a comedy production that is. making film his tory. ... The release of "Down on the Farm' tnrougn United Artists cor- Deration is not to be wondered at, for r that it fits la admirably with the type ef pictures m which the "Big Four" has been specialising. It has been known for some time that Unit- ed -Artists would not confine Itself only to the distribution of the pro-' idoetion of Mary Plekford, Char Ms icaapua, - Douglas FUrcanks ana o. W. Griffith exclusively, but would tis tribute the oeceaioaal big productions that came to the open market for specialization ia distributions. This la aa indication that the "Big Four" wiS have a release list of -wide variety in addition to the big productions of its four principals. Critics everywhere throughout the country have praised this production "to the skies," placing it in a class all its own, as a production that reaches the greatest heights that have ever been reached by a producer of com edy spectacles. Every resource of the enormous Mack Sennett studios in California are involved in the results of this production; every means that was ever contrived in a studio to bring merriment to motion picture lovers has been brought into play and every incident that is brought about by the story which is laid on a real honest- to-goodness farm in the inimitable manner in which none other but a Sennett could do, brings forth results - that , are thrilling', comicj hilarious, farcical and furiously funny. - Astonishing in the extreme is the wonderful manner in which Mr. Sen- - nett succeeded in training the birds and beasts of the farm to act .the leading roles in thia production. 'A dog, a cat, a cow, a flock of turkeys, i ducks, geese, and chickens, all lead themselves to parts in the production in a way that has never before been accomplished. The - work of these habitues of the farm is of such a calibre that every audience becomes amazed at the manner in which they perform. "Down on the Farm" is ah excep tional ieature and has been a sensa tion in every community In which it has appeared. ' It is not a matter of wonderment why United Artists de cided to release it, since it surAy is. in excellent keeping with the best that is being produced for the lovers of amusement , ' ,; "v Marie Pjwost, who shares honors in the feminine enrollment of "Down on the Farm," released by United Artists, is a native of Montreal, whose school days were spent in Lot Angles. Her first screen experience was had under the direction of Mack Sennett, the fa mous comedy King who selects his feminine stars not only for their beau ty, but for their brains. PAST WEEK CASES.
