ton. Mr. Langley warns the farmers

Judge Park said that bRth sides were
anxious to dispose of them and he
wanted to clear up the civil dockr*
as near as possible.
Judge Park said he would make
the term of court as brief as pos
sible. He said that court expenses
last week, outside the Grand Jury,
had amounted to $479.10 and that
practically all of this money had
gone into the pockets of Baldwin
county people who served a* juror*.
This is an average cost of $79-85
daily. The judge requires all defend
ants, when a fine is imposed, to pay
all expenses incurred by the county,
which is a saving to the county.

November for one day to dispose of
such bus'ness that might come be
fore it.
