day and on Friday the arguments
of counsel were heard. The only
evidence submitted was that for

ble number of citizens in attend¬
ance and there was manifested more
interest than usual in commitment
trials. The final result of the trial
was the commitment of Mr. Ross
for the offense of murder.

District Court Houses.
—
Since our comments on this sub¬
ject last week, which imputed
blame to no one, we have learned
that our able and wide awake coun¬
ty commissioners are doing the
best possible under the circum¬
stances to give the people and a court fully
house in each district
recognize the necessity for the
same. They have erected already had the
some court houses at
most needy points, and arrange¬
ments are made for the erection of
others. The work will be contin¬
ued, as circumstances permit, until
the districts are provided with suit¬
able places for holding their jus¬
tice courts. The manner in which
this public need is being suppled
evidences the fact that our commis¬
sioners are prudent, faithful officers
who watch after those things that
make for the interest of the peo¬
ple.
-
Stalls for Stock.
When our country people drive
their stock to town convenient now, they
will find not only
hitching posts, but well shelter¬
ed stalls w ith good feed troughs
for the accommodation of their
stock. These stalls were built for
the general public and under them
mules and horses will be protected
from both the sun and rain. The
stalls are located on the vacant lots
in rear of the business houses,
which are the most convenient and
accessible points for them in the
city. In this work the city coun¬
cil has shown a spirit of accommo¬
dation and liberality that is quite
cammendable. Indeed, limit as a city, her
Forsyth recognizes opportunities no to
efforts when or occa¬
sions to extend accommodations to
the surrounding country are pre¬
sented.
When the owners of stock drive
them to the city now, they will be
able to find comfortable quarters
for them free of charge—such
quarters as will be of benefit to the
stock, especially in inclement or
bad weather.
Vote Consolidated.
The democratic executive com¬
mittee met in the court house on
the 14th day of August, 1894, and
proceeded to consolidate the vote
in the recent primary election to
nominate candidates for the legis¬
lature.
There being no legal returns
from Unionville district, the com¬
mittee consolidated the vote which
was as follows :

Gough had received the highest
vote, they were declared the nomi
nees. Maj. A. O. Bacon, having
received the highest vote, was de¬
clared Monroe’s choice for United
States Senator.
District Cemeteries.
All enlightened and christianized
people recognize it as their duty to
give their dead decent and proper
burials, and our people observe this
duty in accordance with long estab¬
lished usage.
We have hitherto refered to this
subject in our columns, but in pass¬
ing, not long since, through a por¬
tion of this county and observing
the neglected burial grounds in
different communities, we were im¬
pressed with the fact that if the
residents of each district in the
county would procure a suitable
spot near the center of each dis
trict as a place in common for
the burial of their dead, such action
would be more in accord with our
advanced civilization, and that it
would be a standing evidence of the
culture and refinement of our peo¬
ple. Such a home for the dead in
each district would inspire to an
extent, in all the people in the dis¬
trict such an interest in it as would
move them to bestow upon it some
care at least.
We have sufficient confidence in
the public spirit of Monroe county
people to believe that a cemetery
thus established in each district
would at once become a subject of
local interest and would be beauti¬
fied and properly cared for and
would be a living index to the love
and esteem of the people for their
buried dead.
Xo doubt many readers of these
lines call to mind the fact that the
burial grounds of their ancestors,
scattered here and there as they
now are, are now covered with
brambles and briars, are spots of
utter neglect, and in many instances
are trespassed upon unknowingly
by the plowman cemeteries of to-day. would
District never
be allowed to pass into such condi
tion. On the contrary, they would
without doubt, become places
whereat annual memorial exercises
would be held.
Gan we get a second to this SUg
gestion from the more than six
thnncanrl tnousanu wmte white nennle people in in Monroe Monroe

DELIGHTFUL EVENING!
A Pleasant and Profitable Reunion
of Ladies and Girls!
The reunion of the ladies and girls of
the Method.congregation held at the
residence of Mrs. G. A. Allen Friday
evening from five to nine o’clock was in¬
deed a liappy gathering of old and young
and middle aged. The hostesses were the
members of the Foreign Missionary Soci¬
ety and the Parsonage and Home Mission
Society, and the friends and sympathizers
showed their sincere appreciation of the
warm hospitality dispensed so gracefully.
A lawn reception had been planned
with tables in different parts represent¬
ing the different departments of the two
societies. While the rains in the after¬
noon interfered with the plans for out¬
door pleasure, the house was made the
scene of great interest by the cooling re¬
freshments. the bright lights, the profu¬
sion of beautiful tlowers, and the taste¬
ful and appropriate mottos and pictures
decorating the tables and calling atten¬
tion to the different interests of the mis¬
sion work, both home and foreign.
About a hundred persons were present
and most of them were in time for the
very interesting program ata quarter past
six. Mrs. Y. A. Redding, as vice-presi¬
dent of both societies, in the enforced
absence of the president of each society,
presided and the following program was
carried out except a musical number.
1 Hymn—All Ilail the Power of Jesus
Name.
2 Bible Lessons—Matthew 28: 18-20;
Psalm 41:1-3; Mark 3: 35; St. John 15:
10-15.
3 Short prayers by different ladies for
The twosocietics; the church, pastor, and
officials; the missionaries in home and
foreign fields; the guests—the old and
middle aged; the guests—the young; the
little children of the cliureli,
4 Song—All for Jesus—Misses Bow¬
den and Allen.
5 Reading—Why We Should Help
Home Missions—Mrs. Ashworth.
0 Instrumental Solo—Mrs. Thurmond.
7 Recitation—A Little Girl’s Sacrifice
for Foreign Missions-Miss Louise Trippc.
8 Song—Come Unto Me—Mrs. Sid
Smith.
9 Why They Do Not Understand. (For¬
eign Mission selection)—Mrs. Loula Jack
son.
10 Instrumental Solo—Mrs. R. W.
Trippe.
11 Recitation—Seeking tlic Lost—Miss
Rosa Smith.
12 Five minutes talk explanatory of the
different lines of work and urging co-op¬
eration—Miss Allen.
13 Closing Pgayer—Rey. J. M. Bowden.
The sweet lessons taught throughout
the program sank, it is hoped, deep down
into many hearts. May the young girls
for whom dear “Aunt Toney” prayed so
eloquently, never forget her petition that
they may learn now the best way to do
God’s work and be fitted tenfold fox
taking tlie places of the aged members of
the church. May God long spare to the
world this blessed saint whose life lias
been for many years like a precious oint¬
ment poured out into this community.
Such lives of meekness and sublime trust
make us know what the Lord Jesus can
reveal to those who walk with Him.
The absence of several members and of
some expected visitors was the only re¬
gret of this pleasant evening. It was a
sweet scene to watch grandmothers, ma¬
trons, maidens and children with shining
faces, making one another happy.
Such occasions can but result in an en¬
largement of mind and heart ancl sweeter
human and Christian fellowship. They
should be frequent in every church.
Increased activity and a larger member¬
ship in both societies will doubtless re¬
sult from this happy evening. ***

Death.
Mr. Ernest McGinty departed this life
at Panasoffkee, Fla., Saturday night after
a short illness. He left this community
about nine months ago to make his home
in that state. He was in the very vigor
of young manhood and had the promise
of a long life being specially bale and
blessed with strong physical powers.
From early childhood he was obedient
and dutiful and was a young man of
promise. He leaves a father and mother,
brothers and sisters and numerous rela¬
tives to mourn his death. In ftiis sad
bereavement these have the sympathy of
the entire community. The remains
were bui'ied in Oakland cemetery in this
city to-day.

Bag-ginpr and Tare.
Atlanta Constitution.
We referred the other day to the
complaints buyers of cotton spinners and
in regard to excessive bag¬
ging. 11 appears t hat farmers have
been covering their cotton with
old sugar or grain sacks, and put¬
ting more on the bale than the tare
established by the Liverpool asso¬
ciation of buyers.
The extra weight of bagging,
over and above the tare, comes out
of the spinners’ pockets, and these
gentlemen are much more careful
about the nimble thrip than the
cotton growers are.
I he matter, however, is of im¬ k
portance to southern farmers in
more ways than one. In the first
place, the spinners have combined
together to reject all cotton with
an excess of covering. Naturally
this agreement will have some
effect on buyers, and during the
present season such cotton will not
be marketable. It is important,
therefore, that the farmers conform
to the requirements which originate
in Liverpool.
An excess of bagging over and
above the 6 per cent that repre¬
sents the reduction in weight made
to cover the ties and bagging is a
clear loss to the spinners, and it
is no gain to the farmer to put on
the bale a less amount of bagging
than will, with the ties, weigh thirty
pounds. The average 480^pounds. weight of a
bale of cotton is The
tare on this amount is about $1.75.
If the bagging and ties weigh less
than twenty-nine pounds the loss
comes out of the farmer’s cotton.
1 he matter becomes very simple
when we take into consideration
the fact that thousands of bales
yards come into d m^r d’Hgiag. covered A with deduc¬ six

is thus compelled to pay for twen¬
ty-two he pounds of bagging, although
has used but ten and one-half.
The price of eleven and one-half
yards comes out of his cotton and
goes into the spinners’ pockets.
The price of eleven and one-half
yards of jute bagging, taken out of
5,000,000 bales amounts to the price
of 57,000,000 yards and more of
bagging a pretty round sum when
the calculation is made at 6 1-4
cents a pound for bagging.
So far as bagging is concerned,
the jute trust seems to be doing
business at the same old stand.
While the price of cotton has fall¬
twelve en ccnsiderably months, jute during the past
of cent yard higher bagging is
3-4 a a with an
upward tendency. The farmers
made a strong and successful fight
on the trust a few. years ago, but it
seems to be getting the.^iper hand
again.
in Every the bale of cottqi marketed
south should becovered with
heavy cotton cloth. It is impossi¬
ble to imagine a wil/ier or a more
reckless scheme of economy than
that which is involved in sending
to India and the far east for a raw
material withwhich to prepare our
American cotton for market. Raw
cotton should be wrapped in cotton
cloth. This would materially add
to the demand for cotton and aid
in keeping up the price.
This whole question ought to
give our farmers food for thought.

Restricted in Their Roaming;.
Since the late city ordinance went
into effect forbidding hogs upon the
streets of the city, we have heard no
complaints of hogjdepredations upon
gardens and farms in and about the
city. Should the hogs think that,
under the ordinance, their liberties
are abridged, they should*likewise
remember that their proclivities to
trespass brought this abridgement
upon them.
Now if some means can be devised
to either muzzle or restrict egg-suck¬
ing dogs within proper hounds at
night, then perhaps the owners of
hen’s nests in the city can lie down
to sweet slumber without apprehen¬
sion of canine depredations upon
their egg department. It is to an ex¬
tent conducive to one’s peace of mind,
when he retires to rest for the night,
to know that his poultry premises
are sheltered behind a safe protection
against that class of prowling curs.
Our public thoroughfares being
