The Grand Jury of which Mr. Ed. L. Dailey was appointed foreman, was drawn and charged. Of the 18 drawn as grand jurors and the 24 as petit jurors, not one asked to be excused, something that rarely happens.
Of the cases on the docket, the following were adjudged to pay fines or serve sentences:
Claud Crawford, assault, $10 and costs.
Bill Latham, gambling, $20 and costs.
J.W. Samet, passing worthless check, 12 months on the roads, conditionally.
Burton Clapp, manufacturing liquor, 4 months on the roads.
Holland Smith, carried a concealed weapon, $50 and costs.
Carl York, false pretense, 12 months in jail with authority to hire out.
W.J. Walker and John Turner, gambling, Walker $25 and costs; Turner 4 months on the roads.

Judge Horton is a young man, perhaps the youngest judge in the State. He displays poise and a disposition to dispatch business, and he has the nerve to meet out punishment to offenders. All are requisite qualities for a Judge.
The Grand Jury was discharged yesterday afternoon with the thanks of the Court, and petit jurors were discharged about noon today, the business of the court having been finished for the term.
From the Alamance Gleaner, Graham, N.C., March 10, 1921
