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. —By acc’dent we piolcod up tho fol lowing ancient account, which shows tho difference in the price of calico at the present day and in 1797, the date of this old relic of the past; Ir.

Ho reports iondltion^fto Is 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: visiting attorneys. F. W. Capers, jr., Esq., Hon. H. Clay Foster, M. P. Carroll, Esq., Hon. H. D. D. Twiggs, Hon. Jas. S. Hook, Hon. W. W. Montgomery, lion. Jno. T. Shcwun ke, Boykin Wright, Esq., Solicitor General, Salem Dutcher, Esq., R. L. Pierce, Esq., Gibson & Brandt, Hon. Jas. C. C. Black, Augusta ; H. C.

F, Lawson, Judge T, M. Berrien. Judge R. 0. Lovett, Col. P. P. John ston, Col. Jesse Wimberly, E. L. Brin son, Esq., Solicitor T. D. Oliver. 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.

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.
