Agitation for a county recorder's court for Lenoir County has not developed a public issue but persists in some quarters, it was apparent today. There -was no visible indication that advocates of such an institution hoped to have the present General Assembly provide however. There are two local recorders' courts in the county now, Kinston and at LaGrange. These have been functioning successfully for several years. Opinion on a county with county-wide jurisdiction is divided.

Advocates of a county court contend that tribunal of that importance, with authority to try minor civil matters, would keep a lot of "small fry litigation" out of the Superior Courts, where there has been congestion for years. There was an "inferior" court in the county years ago. No Unit of Militia.
