SPARTANBURG MAYOR BEATS JUDOE LANDIS Albert Dearman Must Pay Fines Ag gregating $16,600 or Go to Pris on for Fourteen Years. Spartanburg, March 10.--All ree ords for heavy fines and long prison sentet:ces for municipal courts in the United States wvere broken when Geo. Dearman, whose name appears often in police court annals, was found guilty of violating the State prohibition laws on one hundred and sixty-six counts, and given the limit K of the law in each case, $100 or thirty ldays, by Mayor J. B. Lee, in police court this morning. His sen tences aggregate $16,600, or 4,980 days, a .little over fourteen years. The case against Dearman grew out of a raid made by Lieutenant No len and Privates Merrill and McAbee Wednesday night, when the defend ant's home on Wofford street was searched and 166 pints of liquor were seized. The liquor, it is said, was found in a truin.k. The police made out a case against Dearman for every pint of liquor they found in his home, which they claim they had a right to do under the city ordinance against storing liquor. When the case was called before Mayor Lee this morning R. A. Ha.u non appeared for the defendant. The attorney stated that he was ready for trial and the testimoiny of police officers was heard. After all the evi dence was in, Mayor Lee found the defendant guilty in 166 cases and sentenced him to pay a fine of $100 or serve 30 days in each case. Mr. Hannon gave 'notice of appeal and asked that his client be released on bond, which was granted, bond being iexd in the sum of $200. Bail was rranged. .The ease will probably be threshed ,out in the supreme court. The po lice claim that if the ordinance under which the cases were made out -against Dearman holds good in. the supreme court, the police department will be able to put a stop to the sale of liquor in Spartanburg. The case is in many respects one of the most unique that has ever been tried in a police court in the State and certaio ly never before has a police court judge ever imposed a fine of $16,600 or 14 years for the infraction of a city ordinance. The final disposition of the case will be watched with in terest. PIBDMONT ROAD CHAETERED Prominent Capitalists Back of the Greenville-Spartaniburg-Anlder son Line.

Barrett of the National Farmers' Union, has called a Nation al convention of farmers at St. Louis Max 3-7. It is to have a double pur pose. It is to discuss needed Nation al and State legislatin and to estab lish bureaus at -different capitals to see that the demands of the farmers are heard, and to devise some means of makic-g the farm more attractive in order that the proposed solution of ,ie economic problems of today "back to the farm" may be made possible. President Barrett in his call says: "This will be a National mass meeting for farmers unparalleled in scope, probably in importance, un doubtedly in attendaince, in the his tory of America. I invite not only every member of our organization, but also all agricultural organizations ard all American farmers withot I regard to location of organization. "Throughout the present session of congress the Farmers' Union has: maintained a legislative bureau at Washington. This bureau is prepar ing, a report in whieb the status of legislation demanded and needed by, the farmer, is set forth. It will le read at St. Louis. At no time in the history of the nation has the farmer been the ob ject of more solicitude to thoughtful public men. From congress, from every newspape- forum, from every pulpit goes up the cry, 'back to the land-' expert students of economics are warning us that unless the lot of the farmer be improved, unless -more of his mumber be kept on the farm we shall soon be depending on for eign nations for some of our food. It is therefore at this time that I invite the farmers of America to join hands, brain and heart in a council which shall thresh out issues close to the life of the m-ation."
