Resume Civil Docket.
Probably the largest criminal dock

for order in his tribunal 10 o’clock
Monday morning, in all, there is just
one hundred and fifty. Of course,
many of these are left-over, cases
which have been standing for many
months but a large number are for
recent violations of the law covering
misdemeanors.
While it is true that a large num
ber of those who are ot be tried are
new cases, it is also a fact that an
equal number have been on the dock
et for many terms, but for various
reasons have not been tried. Judge
possible tf clear the docket as clean
as it has been since the establish

Of o6urse. all of the cases are for
misdemeanors, as felony cases
can only be handled in the superior
court. Many of those who have vio
lated the law have been arrested on
the popular. It seems, whiskey charge,
while almost an equal number have
been arrested for gaming. Most all
of the latter cases are against color

The court will be convened prompt

be taken up first. After the trial of
the criminal cases the .civil docket
left-overs will be taken up and dis

Many Reasons Have Been

public question in recent years, many
communications from those opposing
the present two sessions a day plan

and some of which have been printed
from time to time. It may be said
that there has been no one who has
requested the publication of any rea
son why the two sessions should be
continued.

and, under instructions from the edi
tor, has mad a careful canvass among
patrons, putfils and citizens gener

favored any save the old time one
