OS. ,11 I 1L, 12 l' s , T IH SESSION . AD6BST TERM JMNEO TESTERDAT - Judge Shaw, of Greensboro, In Open ' - ing Term of Canton Superior uw ror the Trial ' of Criminal Issues, Delivers Excellent Charge to the Grand Jury Business of the Court Being Dispatched In Businesslike Manner. Testerday morning at 11:00 o'clock the August term of criminal court for Gaston convened with Judge T. J. Shaw, of Greensboro, presiding. This is Judge Shaw's first appearance on the bench in Gastonla, although be has held court in the count while the court house was at Dallas. Judge Shaw began making a good impression the moment the court got down to business by mak ing a special charge to the grand jury and be is continuing the im presslon first made because of the open and fair way in which he deals with the prisoners at the bar. In his charge to the grand Jury, of which Mr. D. P. Froneberger, of Bessemer City, is foreman. Judge Shaw made an excellent charge, tak lng Illustrations of everyday occur rence to illustrate his points. He told the jury its duty, as jurors, pointing out how painstaking' they . should be, In preventing the innocent from being punished, and In seeing that the guilty are punished. "Be careful gentlemen," said he, "be cause you are the door of the court, through which all bills must pass." "Citizenship Is divided Into three ' classes" said Judge Shaw, and each class is represented in every com munity. "There are the ideal citi zens, some of whom are gray and with one foot In the grave, who have never yet violated a single law." These men, be pointed out, were al ways admired. The second class of citlsens, according to Judge Shaw, is that class who watch the law, looking for an opportunity to vio late the same, and make their es cape. These men are dangerous, and need to be carefully watched. The third class ef citizens Is that class who do what they want to do Irrespective of the law, until tne crime Is committed. Judge Shaw said the third class were usually taken care of by law of the land be cause they are most generally caught. After making this classifi cation of citizens, which was some what novel to most men. Judge Shaw then told the jury what is meant by law. "Law" he said "is the rule of conduct commanding what Is .right and forbidding what is wrong." THere it was pointed out that the law of every district will not be suitable or aapplicable to another. Difference in localities would justify difference in the law. but such is impractical. hence State laws are ncessary, and" apply throughout the territory of the State: and any vlolater. It matters not where he is from. Is subjected to the laws of the State while he is In the State. "Law is simply a set of rules that govern socety." At this point, Judge Shaw used the game of base ball to Illustrate and make his point clear, saying that the game of ball Is play ed by written and standardised , rules. "When you and I were -boys and played 'ball" said he, "there were no rules, ecept as we ourselves made them." But now all games of baseball are played by written rules; which are adopted by authority; Just -so, with law, "Society is governed by law." The Jury was authorized to visit the county home, chain gangs, and all public buildings, and report on the same. Judge Shaw spoke at length to the Jury in regard to the treatment of convicts. "These con victs" said he, "are human and must he treated as such. Now I don't mean that they are to live in luxury, hut they must have wholesome food and kind treatment, and must not be treated cruelly". After the retirement of the grand Jury, the petit Jury was Impanelled and the court began the dispatch of business. Several , young men were called on to testify that their be havior had been good since court last met and they were conducting themselves as befitting good citizens. The following cases were disposed of yesterday, but the offenders have not yet been sentenced: Buck Lind say, guilty of gambling; John Ad ams, of abandonment; John Ervin, carrying a concealed weapon; George Washington, carrying a concealed weapon; Mack Rovnet, guilty" of larceny.

V ULTIMATUM TO 6ERIRANY HAS EXPIRE Japanese Government on Sunday Of- a , - . i and Began Measure Against Hlaol Aow Action Heartily Approved I by the People of Japan Heavy Losses .Suffered by Both Sides Along the Franco-German Border. Toklo, Aug. 23. The Emperor of Japan today declared war on Ger many. This action was taken at .the expiration of the' time limit of Japan's ultimatum to Germany de manding the surrender of Klao- Chow. The l Japan Government has ordered the beginning of operations on land and sea. The Imperial rescript declaring war on Germany was issued this evening. It officially inaugurates ho8tlities in the Far Eaast as a re sult of Germany's failure to reply to the Japanese ultimatum. The proclamation of the Emperor sent a thrill through the country. Japan's entrance upon thetulfillment of her obligations to her ally, Great Britain, responds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled today before public buildings and to night there were lantern processons through the streets. The populuar manifestations, however, do not ap proach the enthusiasm which pre ceded the war with Russia. Count Von Rex, the German Am bassador, has been handed his pass ports. He probably wilKleave for America. George W. Guthrie, the American Ambassador, will represent Germany. The Diet has been con voked in special session for Septem ber 3. The Austrian cruiser Kaisertn Elizabeth, which latterly was at Tsing Tau, the seaport of Kiao-Chow, is reported to have sailed. She per haps will go to a neutral port and disarm. It Is believed this action will keep Austria out of the war in the' Orient, although unforeseen circumstances may force Japan to change 'this policy. No action has been taken relative to Austria and the Foreign Office has explained that Japan will remain friendly until Austria adopts an attitude which It regards as offensive. It is reported here that Germany has been trying to transfer the Ger man Railroad in Shan Tung, China, to America. Tokio, believes, how ever, that the Lnited Mates pursu- I lng the policy of neutrality outlined I by President Wilson, will not accept. President Wilson's announcement of neutrality has greatly pleased the Japanese. ' ALLIES FALL RACK.

Where Church street crosses East Franklin avenue was the place yes terday morning of a slight accident, which might have proved to be a fa tal one, when Mr. Raymond M. Beat tie was run over by Mr. E. L. Bolt, of Easley, S. C, in his machine. Mr. Beattle was riding his bycycle at a rapid rate going north, and Mr. Bolt was coming up Franklin avenue when the collision happened, it was purely an accident which was una voidable as neither party knew of the approach of the other until they were only six or seven feet apart. Mr. Beattle was' only slightly bruis ed, which fact signifies the slow speed of the machine. No bones were broken, only bruises of a flesh nature were inflicted the most seri ous being on the nose. Mr. Beattle was taken into. Mr. Bolt's machine and brought to the City Hospital'4, where Dr. Sloan dressed his wounds. In the machine were Mr. Bolt's fam ily, which consisted of his wife and three children and mother-in-law. They were on their way home from Rockingham .where they had been visiting relatives. Mr. Bolt gave Mr. Beattle $25 to pay for the breakage of his bicycle and doctor bill. Subscribe to The Gazette. roads and retain command of the seas. Our operations have enabled the Russians to come into action and penetrate the heart of West Prussia. It is to be regretted that the offen sive operations planned failed to a chleve their purpose as a result of difficulties impossible to foresee. It would have shortened the war, but our defences remain Intact in tne presence of an already weakened en emy. ""Every Frenchman will deplore the temporary abandonment of portions of Alsace and Lorraine which we had occupied and certain parts or the National territory will suffer from events of which they will be the theater. "The ordeal is inevitable, but tem porary. Detachments of German cav alry belonging to an unattached di vision operating on the extreme right have penetrated to Roubad. "Our valiant people will know how to find courage to support this trial, with unfailing faith in final success, which is not to be doubted. In tell ing to the country the whole truth, the Government and military author ities give It the strongest proof of their absolute confidence in victory, which depends only on our persever ance and tenacity."
