SUPERIOR COURT.
One of the most amusing incidents
^occurring during court, was a game
j[f mumble-peg, which took place in
ie court house yard Friday evening
|:tween Judge E. F. L. and Solicitor-
leneral W. Seated, tailor-fashion,
on the ground, and surrounded by a
crowd of amused spectators, the
bench and the bar engaged in the
game with intense interest. The
judge took the lead, and kept up to
the performance of sticking up the
knife from the top of his head, which
maneuver seemed a difficult one for
the judge to accomplish, and Solic
itor W. came up with and passed
him iu the points. The game pro
ceeded with interest, the Judge still
stucl^t the head-point, and making
efforts to get by it to the no
sement of the by-standers.
the Judge strug
hut he had lost
too many points, and the Solicitor
came out ahead, condemning the
Judge to “go for the peg,” which
we are informed he failed to do, and
we don’t blame him, as it was evi
dent Solicitor W. had the practice on
him and inveigled him into the game
with the odds against Urn. By the
next term of court, we hope our
Judge will bo in better practice, and
will retrieve hi&loat honors from his
Augusta competitor.

On Monday, the loth inst., two
•weeks ago, the May term of Burke Su
perior Court coveued at the usual
hour, his Honor, Judge Snead, presid
ing. One of the finest body of our cit
izens. and most intelligent grand juries
which has presided over the affairs ol the
county for years was promptly organ
ized, and his Honor proceeded to deliv
er a clear and comprehensive charge,
impressing upon each member of the
jury his individual obligation to do the
j public work before him carefully. How
well the charge of his Honor was heed-
j ed, is shown by the general present-
j men!s. in which every important inter-
; es! of the county seems to have received
! its proper share of attention. Judge
Snead then took up the heavy civil doc
ket before him, and dispatched the bus
iness as rapidly as possible with due
regard to the rights of litigants, and
the whole week was expended on the
civil side of the court. The following
is a list of the attorneys present:

The grand jury closed its labors on
Friday evening, the 10th inst., and in
taking leave of his Honor and Solicitoi
General paid them the following flatter
ing compliments:
W’e tender our thanks to his Honor,
Judge Claiborne Snead, for the able,
efficient and impartial administration
of law in our county since ho has been
on the Bench. His ability is unques
tioned by the profession of h ; s circuit;
his efficiency is demonstrated by the
rapid manner in which court busiuess
is dispatched and his impartiality is
proverbial. Wiih such a judge, we
consider the true end of government
attained, namely; the enforcement of
the law without regard to person or
caste.
We also return thanks to our worthy
Solicitor-General, Boykin Wright, for
his courteous attention to our body.
And recommend that the County Com
mis doners p:iy him the sum of one bun
dred d liars for his services during the
May Term 1881, and like amount for
this Term, May Term, 1882
Coming as these c mpiiments do from
a body of men composed of such indi
vidual integrity, dignity and inttelli-
gence as composed our grand jury for
the present term of the Superior Court,
must strike every thinking man
as a crushing rebuke to the Thomson,
MeLuffie county, “Inquisi ion,” which
accused the same lrgli judicial officer of
corruption and laxity in the administra
tion of justice, i s own juries of perjury,
an 1 its ci izens. generally.of dishonesty
All iho criminal cast s on the dock
et was disposed of where the off ndor or
defendant could be reached, and we are
glad to say ihat there was for once no
cases to bo tried greater than assault
and battery and simple arceny. The
civil docket was resumed af er all crim-
n.il matt r was dispjsed of. and we are
infoemed it will take all of next week to
get through it.
In conclusion, we beg leave to say a
word of deserved pr.iiso for tho officers
<>f court. (. olS. J. Bell, Clerk, an his
i andsouie young Deputy, Char ie
Shewmake, had every paper and record
ready in p ace,where they could lay their
hands upon them at a moment’s notice.
Col Bell is one of the most careful
Clerk’s to bo found in any county in the
State, and always keeps his recoids and
papers carefully arranged and filed in
order. If, in the course of events, he
should in any way bo re ired from his
present position, Burke oounty would
lose a must efficient officer, and it
would be hard to find one Io fill his
place. Tho Sheriff) B. Haeseler, was
also ready to meet his Honor, with all
his apers ready. Haeseler is a good,
officer The Ba’iffs were prompt and
alt ntivo in tho performance ol their
of the
—Meeting Mr. Jones, “the hand
some young landlord,” (as Mrs, \\ hit-
son calls him in her late book of
sketches) of the Arlington House’, on
Wednesday morning, be extended a cor
dial invitation to dinner, which was as
cordially acceptt d. Presenting ourself
at the dinner hour, we were escorted to
a seat by Mr. J., and were soon enga
ged in the discussion of a dinner to
which even an esthetic epicure could
not have suggested an addition or im
provement. Everything we could think
of or call for was promptly furnished
from the cook’s labratory, prepared in
the best style known to the cuisine art.
The Arlington sprang, full grown into
popular favot under the management of
Mr. Jones, and is the superior of many
and the equal of any hotel iu the State.
The servants are polite and attentive,
the table is always spread with every
thing that can tempt the most delicate
appetite, the rooms are large and airy,
and the beds temptingly woos the weary
traveler to repose. Of course, we agree
with Mrs. Whitson, that Mr. Joues
does “know how to keep a hotel.”
—During court we have enquidre
about the crops of many of our farmers,
and from every part of t,he county learn
that the prospect is fine. A larger
aoreage ot oats was sown than for many
years, and will yet save our planters ;
corn looks well and is growing finely ;
cotton has felt the cool mornings, and
is a little off. yet some of it is very fine.
Squares were reported a week ago, and
we expect to see blooms bv the 10th
prox. Burke has some of the finest
lands in tho South, anti barring the
chills, would be the best county to live
in anywhere in tho South.
—Passing the office ofW.S. Godbee,
Esq, one day last week, we found
him on the evo of uniting a couple
>*f our colored citizens in the holy
bond? of matrimony, and called in to
witness his manner of pu’ting on the
harness. The Judge performc l his
part with the grace and case of a
young Boston Presbyterian preacher,
and proved himself equai to any
emergency in his office.
—Busine-s dealing “internos,” 1ms
proven to us that Mr. S. Schwarz-
weiss is a fair and generous dealer,
and among the high prices that pre
vail, is in reality “the leader of low
prices.” When you are in need of
any goods, go to SchwarzweNs’ a d
get his figure*, and you will find a
practical test of wlmt we lure say.
—The pressure upon us last week,
foroed us to omit a notice of the ad
vertisement of James G. Bailie and
Sons, to be found in another column
Mr. Bailie has long been a friend and
patron of ours, and we know him to
be an honest business man ; there
fore, whenever Jas. G. Bailie and
Sons deceive you, either in person, at
his store or by order sent, give us tb«
facts, and we will give them a free
insertion for six months, and pay all
damage sustained. Read Bailie’s ad
vertisement, and if you want any
article he offers for sale, send an
order or go there and get it, aud you
will get just the article he repre
sents.
