DISTURBANCE AT CEDARGROVE Sheriff Buford Reads Herald and News and Proceeds to Cedar Grove. -20 Warrants Issued. As -soon a. Sheriff Butford read The Herald and News on Tuesday morn in" griving an acvount of the disturb ances at. Cedar Grove Methodist. Church on Sunday. and the report that w,hiskey was being sold,, he and Consta'ble T. G. Williams went over in that section of the county to inves tigate. As soon as he reac3hed the community he saw the .trustees of the church and sent over to Whitmire for Magistrate Aughtry and Constable 0'Dell. Sherift Bluford then took the rus 4ees and -Magistrate Aughtry and Con stable O'Dell into a conference and had the trustees to furnish him with all tile names., so far as possible, of those who had been creating the dis turbance at the church on the pre vious Sunday. He had warrants issued for .twelve or fifteen charging tie dis turbance of publie worghip, eursing, shooting and carrying concealed wc a p ons and also selling whiskey. In some of the cases two or three warrants were issued against eaea party, mak ing- some twenty-one or twenty,two warants which have boei iA;ued. Sheriff Buford spent Tuesday and Wednesday in that community and there have been four or five arests made already and the warrants will be 'served just as fast as possible. The story as printed in The H rald and News on Tuesday was sub-tauti ally correct. and the people of that community have been very much wrought tip on account of the drink ing, and tihe distuilyance which was the result. Sheriff Buford. yesterday morning, received a letter from Governor An sel enclosing the clipping from Tihe Herald and News. requesting an in vestigation of the statements made therein. Sheriff Buford, himself, had read The Herald and News, and as stated, had already investigated, hav ing spent two days in -the community of Cedar Grove. and having .had war rants issued. as stated above. The meeting at Cedar Grove con tinued through Monday and Tuesday, and t-he people of the community were very much stirred up on account of :he disturbance whieh had been going on at the church. Sheriff Buford said he could find no evidence of a wvhite man selling whis key on t-he church grounds, tihough there was no doubt about whiskey being sold, and negroes who were at tending t'he church were imbibing very freely of it. He said that there was a white mani who was selling soft drinks a.: the church, but there was no evidence, so far as he could ob tan, that .he was selling whiskey. A majority of the officers of the church are anxious tihat the guilty parties shall be prosecuted. THE THEAT1ICAL SEASON.

As a play the work of Mr. Bryton stands pre-eminently ait t.he head of its class in comedv-drama, and there is no doubt that it will please every class of amusement seeker. "Mr. Lawrence has a great part in Jack I'Diamond this season, one that. will give him an opportunity to show -the public his versatility as an actor and will no doubt surprise all those who saw him last year in The Devil, his role this season being exactly op posite that of last year in which he received so much praise from both the press and the public generally.
