FEDfcHAL COURT IP) SESSION.
Judge Boyd's interesting Charge to
Grand Jury—smlthtown Biockadcrs
to tbe Front.
The April term of the United States
District court was convened in this city
by Judge Boyd Monday morning, the
greater part of the first day's session
being consumed in organizing the
jury, delivering the judge's charge, etc.
The following were chosen as members
of the grand jury: R. A. Gllmer, fore-man;
Lee Davis, J. F. Neal, B W.
Johnson, R. F. Byerly, John T. Joyce,
C. A. Wharton, Walter F. King, C. M.
Priicbett, J.T. Griffin, Ellis Y. Cole-man,
C. M. Hauser, Amos Hlnsbaw,
James D. Schoolfield, J.L.Krockmann,

Alley. R. T. Stone, Prof. Charles D.
Cobb, James K. Noifleet, J. A. Dalton
and 8. A. Vest were excused from jury
service.
Judge Boyd's charge to the grand
jury was unique and Interesting. He
departed from the usual custom, and
iustead of going into a lengthy expla-nation
of the law, he made a patriotic
and Instructive talk on the duties of
citizenship and tho importance of tbe
proper home training. He said that
the Federal courts acourts of the
tbe people, just as the state
courts are, and they were adopted
and established by the great archi-tects
of the government. Federal
courts have no police jurisdiction, as
tbe state courts have, but are intended
to try cases that cannot well be tried
iu the state courts.
Speaking of home training. Judge
Boyd said: "The foundation of all good
citizenship Is laid around the home
altar, wbere tbe children get their first
impressioDS. And I regret to say that
we have too little of the home govern-mentthesedays.
The youths are turned
loose too early. Only go down the
streets of Greensboro any night and
you will see boys not over nine years
old out on tbe streets, going where
tbey please. They see things that are
wrong and see men do things that are
wrong. Say what you please, but
tarns things of the old times are better
than the things of today. Children
were formerly not allowed to stand
around the corner and chew tobacco
and smoke cigarettes and hear all
kinds of profanity. Tbey were kept at
home, and tbey knew that tbey bad to
stay at home."
Fletcher Smith, of Stokes county,
was convicted of retailing, but not
sentenced. He is one of tbe Smith
brothers of Smithtown, ODeof whom,
Jim Smith, is suspected of having had
something to do with tbe killing of
Deputy Collector J. W. Hendrix lest
December.
Albert Lineback, of Davidson coun-ty,
was found guilty of illicit distilling.
Sentence was not pronounced.
A true bill was returned against
"Rev." Whitaker, who is now in jail
in Aeheville. The charge is using the
United States mails for fraudulent pur-poses.
Whitaker is tbe man who is
said to have fleeced anumberof people
in connection with a supposed great
estate in England to which he said he
and others had fallen heir. The case
will be tried in Asbeville.

follows: 'The county commissioners or

and judges of election or Guilford
county the sum or two dollars per day,

Prof. Holt's Explanation.
Mr. Ernest Clapp,
Greensboro, N. C.
Dear Sir:—I desire to state that the
reference in my circular to allowing
cbanges/m the cash book or the clerk
or the court, which nave been made
since tbe debate between myself and
Mr. Brooks, was made merely to facil-itate
the examination or tbe books by
those who are conducting investiga-tions
for tbe board or education and tbe
county treasurer. I do not understand
that the additions involve the matter
in controversy between Mr. Brooks and
myself. The clerk or tbe court, Mr.
Clapp, is in nowise Involved, nor is bis
adaalnistratien or character attacked.
My sole reason in calling public atten-tion
to it was that it seemed to have
been delaying tbe speedy termination
or the investigations and those delays
might aflect public opinion.
It will be noted that in my circular
I call attention to it in connection with
tbe sentence In which I ask for a
speedy report from the county board or
education. Respectfully,
J. ALLEN HOLT.
