Complaint of Judges.
News Observer.
Early in the session of the last
Genend Assembly, 8enator Elliott,
of Catawba, introduced a bill re
quiring Superior Court Judges to
remain at the country seat during
the entire term for which the
court was ordered. There had
been complaint that sometimes
judges hurried away leaving crowd
ed dockets, and that this failure on
the part the judges to remain dur
ing the entire term worked much
hardship to litigants and imposed
unnecessary costs on the county.
The judges and most of the lawyers
protested against that act, saying
that it would deny opportunity to
a judge to go home even when he
had finished all the business of the
court. As the result of this objec
tion, Senator Elliot agreed ' to a
change in his bill by which each
Superior court clerk shall report to
the Attorney General the aetual
number of days court is in session
at each term.
-In its account of the proceedings
of Watauga Superior Court, the
Watuga Democrat says ''stated in
our last issue, owing to an unavoid
able delay, the Judge did not ar
rive cntil Monday afternoon and
the business of the court was not
taken up until Tuesday." After
printing the sentences imposed in
the criminal cases, the Democrat
says.
"The civil docket was then taken
up, and one little case involving
eight acres of land was tried, and
regardless of the fact that there
are more than seventy cases on the
trial docket, and we having a two
weeks' term, with jurors and wit
nesses summoned. Judge Justion
on Friday afternoon adjourned
court and left at once for his home
It does seem to us that this was
rather rough treatment for our peo
ple, and we are of the opinion that
there should be some law to force a
judge to at least hold out his term
or complete the work ready for
trial. But such is the wav of
courts.
Judge Justice doubtless had a
good reason for leaving, and if so it
is due to him aud to the public
that the reason be given. The
juror or witness who is not on
hand promptly must havo the best
of reasons for his failure to be pre
sent. The same rule ought to ap
ply to the judge.
Frank L. Vanderlip president of
the National City Bank of New
York, broke all American railroad
records, according to statements
made by New York Central officials
Tuesday, in an effort to reach the
bedside of his dying mother at
Chicago, but he lost the race with
death by exactly 28 minutes. Mr.
Vanderlip, in a special train, cov
ered the distance from New York
to Englewood, a suburb of Chicago
in 15 hours and 5 minutes,, and
when he leaped madly from the
train he was met with the an
nouncement that his mother, had
died at 2:30.

Object to Strong Medicines.
Many people object to taking the
strong medicine usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. Thene
is no need oi internal treatment iu
any ease of muscular or chronio rheu
mnflatn. and mnrA than nine out of
every ten cases of the disease are of
one or the other or tnese varieties.
When there is no fever and little (if
any) swelling, you may know that It
is only necessary to apply Chamber
lain's Liniment freely to get quick
relief. Try it. For sale at J. B.

Cnarje to Jury.
A small part of Judge Council's
charge to the Grand Jury of
Lincoln County:
The Judge spoke quite feelingly
about the cruelty to animals, es
pecially horses, which he had ob
served as being practiced by horse
traders in the jockey yards of var
ious counties duriug court weeks
ami urged the Grand Jury to take
cognizance of any evidence of such
cruelty that might come to their
attention. lie had no criticism to
make on the practice of trading
horses which is perfectly legitimate,
but he did want to see the cruel
practices which are resorted it by
many traders broken up.
Another subject emphasized by
Judge Council was that of slander
ing women. He pointed out the
despicable character of men who go
about retailing slauderous gossip
about innocent women and charged
the Jury not to overlook such
cases.
Judge Council instructed the
grand jury to visit the County
Home and to report unhesitatingly
if any bad conditions were fonud.
He pointed to the fact that there
had been previous criticism of the
Home and showed that only by
frank criticism of bad conditio tis
can such things be remedied.
The jury was also instructed to
examine tne county jail, lne
Judge spoke in a complimentary
manner of the improved condition
of the Court House and told the
jury it would be unnecessary to
make an inspection of that build
ing. Altogether, the charge of
Judge Council was marked for its
simplicity and sound commonsense,
and will doubtless result in much
actual and pracical good.

Rheumatic Pains Relieved
Mr. Thomas Btenton, Postmaster
of Pontynooi, Out., writes: "For the
past eight years 1 suffered f join rheu
matic pains, and during that time I
used many different liniments and
remedies for the cure of rheumatism.
Last summer I procured a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and got
more relief from it than any thing I
have ever used, and cheerfully rec
ommend this liniment to all suffer
ers from rheumatic pains." For

kin was in town Monday on his
way to his home in Greensboro.

and he saidlbefore leaving he com
pleted arrangement for the erec
tion of a school of high grade in
Allegany county.
The site selected is Glade Yulley
about six miles on this side of Spar
ta. One hundred acres of land has
been purchased and the deeds have
all been made. It is understood
tnat the citizens of Glade Valley
community have contributed about
$1,000 toward the enterprise. This
they did in order to secure the
school.
Two buildings are to be erected.
each 40 by 64 feet and three sto
ries high. The first story of one
of them will be used for a kitchen,
dining room, etc., while the second
and third stories will be used as
dormitories for the girls. The sec
oud building will have school rooms
on the first tloor, while the second
aud third floors will be dormitories
for the boys. In all, the plant is
expected to cost 10,000.
The school will be under the di
rection of the Presbyteriau church
und will be supported by it, aud,
though the school will be in the
very best sense a christiau institu
tion, it will in no sense be sectari
an.
Work on the building will begin
at once and it is hoped to be ready
for school to open this fall, though
of this Dr, Rankin said he was not
able to speak definitely.

ties in the State. As a result of
the election 568 saloons will have

Mt. Airy, N. C, April 5. A
trial of more than ordiuary inter
est was heard in this city last Sat
urday wherein Monroe Harrell and
John Bingham, both of White
Plains, were charged with conspir
acy to defraud and were bound to
court in a bond of 500 each.
Reports say that the two men
have been operating a game of
fraud on the merchants and busi
ness men of this town and section
for two years or more but that they
have beeu most active during the
pa-t few months.
About ninety witnesses have
been secured and a hard fight will
be made by both sides. Monroe
Harrell is an old mau, probably
sixty, and Bingham is a young
mau, not over thirty.
The story goes that Hand is the
leader iu the game and that he
would come to town and have
Bingham to go a merchant and ask
lor credit for goods, aud when the
mercnant would ask for security of
some kind he would go out and
briug in Mr. Harrell who would
go on nis neighbor's note for the
amount desired. Then they would
go out and divide the goods.
