number were found guilty and
sentenced to the county roads.
The first case called was that of the
State vs. The Mutual Aid Banking Com
pany and John H. Fisher. There were
two bills in this cae and they charged
the defendants with retailing whiskey
by selling bills of lading. The first case
was sent over to the Supreme Court
while the second ona resulted la a mis
trial and was continued until the next
tc-rm of court.
Messrs. Moore & Dunn, attorneys for
Walter Grant, who' la charged with in
cendiarism, then asked the Judge to take
up the case against their client. Solici
tor Abernathy, however, was not quite
ready in this case and asked that - the
defendant be required to givn a. bond
for his appearance at the next term of
court. There was considerable discus
sion on this matter; the defendant's at
torneys contending that he was not able
to give a large bond and would be com
pelled to remain in jail until June. The
bond was finally fixed at $400.
When the afternoon session convened
the following casts were first disposed
of:
David Hatch, charged with retailing,
plead guilty and was sentenced to the
county roads for 5 months.
Mark.B ickers, charged with retailing,
plead guilty, had already spent four
months in jail, was sentenced to the
county roads for 60 days.
Leham Mortis, charged with retail
ing, plead guilty. Had been in jail
four months and was sentenced to the
roads for 60 days.
Walter Jones, who plead guilty to the
larcsny of a bicycle on the previous
day, was sentenced to a term f 8
months in ihe county roads.
O. Shaw, charged with retailing, plead
guilty. Had spent four months in jai
and was sentenced to a term of 60 days
on the county roads.
Bryant Robbins, charged With retiil
ing, plead guilty. Had been in jail for
five months, sentenced to serve a term
of 60 dayi on the county roads.
The case of the State against Gary
Hawk, white, was next taken up. In
this case the defendant was charged
with retailing whiskey in violation of
the law. He entered a plea of not
guilty. Quite a number of witnesses
were examined and it was late in the
afternoon before the attorneys cooclud
ed their arguments to the jury.
The case was given to the jury at 6
p. m., but the jury retired for the night
about 11 o'clock without reaching I
verdict.
Yesterday afternoon the Sheriff's de
putiea completed their task of summon
ing the two hundred special venire men
from which the jury for the Baker Bry
an murder case will be selected and the
case will be taken up the first thing this
morning. Much interest baa been mani
fested in this caae and there is not the
least doubt but that the court room will
be crowded with spectators. The de
fended is represented by Messrs. Moore
& Dunn and Guloo A Guior. Solicitor
Abernathy will be assisted by Mr. D. E.
Henderson.
From India. Gladly Welcomed

London, Feb. 7. In one of the worst
snow storms London has known in many
years King George and Queen Mary
were welcomed back from their event
ful visit to India to be crowned Emper
er and Empress and leceive the hom
age of their Oriental princely vassals.
They have been absent three months.
Despite the co'd, thousands gatherfd
along the streets and heartily cheered
the King and Queen. The cold was so
intense people had to stamp their feet
and run up and down on the pavement
to keep warm. A few Jays ago spring
flowers were growing in thn open.
George and Mary were all smiles and
were obviously very glad to I e home
again; No one disguises now that their
visit to India was involved in great
risks. The family group of the Kinir.
the Queen and the Prince of Wales,
who met his parents at Portsmouth ex
changed affectionate glances nmong
themselves, and, at tha samo time
beaming on the cheering populace,
made a picture that aroused the warm
est enthusiasm. The short drive to the
palace was attended by two impressive
incidents. Each of them hag greatly
stirred the people here. As the royal
carriage drove by the American Embas
sy King George stood up and, turning;
impressively toward it, saluted the
Stars and StripeB flying over the Em
bassy entrance. The crowds that wit
nessed this act of courtesy quickly r c-
ognizd its meaning and cheered vocif
erously. At the gates of Buck ngham
Palace the enthusiasm of the people
broke loose from the customary liri ifh
stolidity. As their Majesties passed
through the throng spontaneously burst
forth into the stiring strains of "Home,
Sweet Home." The effect wai thrill
Ing, and many shed tears. The Queen
wai so deeply touched that hIib whs
forced to raise her handkerchief to hot
eye. Alter the royalties had entered
the palace the crowds remained out Hide
singing ''God Save the King!" "J'or
He's a Jolly Good Fellow!" and "Atild
Lang Syne." Their Majesties respon
ded by appearing on the balcony over
the entrance, and they were then greet
ed with round after round of appluuie.
The King looked thin after hia anxioua
