.?p.oston Transcript.
Mayor Dared to
J ad the Parson
Anderson, S. C., Nov. 4.?There
has been much excitement in the
little Georgia town of 4,000 people
just across the Savannaih River from
this county, called Hartwell over the
altercation between the /Methodist
minister. Rev. Homer Thompson,
and the chief of Police, last Saturday.
The final chapter in this encounter
which has stirred the people so
intensely was written Thursday
when Mayor Richardson and the
cjhief of police, w. H. JLocKe, puDiiciy
apologized to the preacher. Men and
women rallied to the side of the
preacher, and it is said that in the
mayor's court when Rev. Mr. Thompson
was fined $10 that some women
shook their fists in the mayor's face.
One of the friends of the preacher
paid the fine, the preacher being tried
I in his absence, as he was fulfilling an
engagement out of town. When ihe returned
he demanded a new trial, and
refused to allow the judgment of the
mayor and the imposition of the $10
fine to stand.
Refuses to Pay Fine.
Chief Locke admitted attacking
the minister, and after hearing the
testimony again the mayor fined the
minister $10, and a similar amount
to the chief of police. Rev. Mr.
Thompson said that he refused to pay
this fine, saying also, "I have no respect
for the court that yields to
petty, low, mean politics over right
and justice. If conditions have reachj
ed such a point in Hartwell that a
man can no longer defend mmsen
when he is attacked. then I want you
to put me in jail, for that is the only
safe place for me or anybody else. I
dare you to send me to prison."
Then the mayor called the court
to order, and said "your sentence for
contempt of court is $10 and twenty
days in jail." Then Rev. Mr. Thompson
reached for his hat, and told the
mayor that he was ready tcK^o, and
again he said, "I dare you to put me
in jail." An outburst of applause
greeted this statement of the minister,
and it was some minutes before
| q,uiet was restored. Counsel for the
minister gave notice of appeal, but
was interrupted by the minister emphatically
declaring that he wanted
no appeal, but he was ready to serve
the sentence if the mayor dared to
put him in the workhouse. Then he
! walked from the courthouse again being
cheered.
This case grew out of the chief
of police taking offense at a sermon
preached by Rev. Mr. Thompson
against lawlessness, when he said
that the law was not upheld as it
should be in Hartwell. Two weeks
later the chief attacked he minister
on the street and it is said but for
the interference of onlookers that
the minister would ihave given the
! chief a good beating although the
chief is a much larger man than the
minister, weighing about 200 pounds.
I Case Dismissed.
Friday morning the case was again
' called against Rev. Homer Thompson,
and was dismissed by Mayor
Richardson. This was followed by a
statement that Chief Locke had been
suspended from the police force.

I church of which Rev. :Mr. Thompson
I is pastor went to Elberton to visit
j the presiding eider and petitioned
| him to have Rev. Mr. Thompson reI
turned to Hartwell at the Methodist
I conference which convenes in Atj
lanta next week. And they guaranteed
that he would .have a raise in
salary if sent back.
i The petition was a unanimous one
| from the membership of the Methodist
church, together with a large
number of the citizens of Hartwell,

Thompson wil go to the northI

nesday, and Rev. W. L. Pierce, the
I presiding elder will present the pej

his return to that city to serve them
again.
Could Have Been Worse.
j
Old Andrew McAllister had a saying
which irritated his acquaintances.
Any calamity?a storm, a railway
I collision or a shipwreck?only drew
from him the remark, "It micht 'a'
been worse."
| Andy Jamison thought he would
rouse him from his apathy one night,
for he had a morsel of scandal that
had shaken the village to its foundation.
"Dv've ken, mon," Andy burst out,
"that Jock Peterson went home on
Thursday nicht an' found Syme, the
posty. kissing his wife? He knocked
Svme down the steps an' no s m Hospital
noo."
"Aye. that's bad. but it miclit 'a*
been worse." replied Andrew.
"How worse, ye auld fule?" inquired
his friend, irately
"Well." he replied, "if it had been
Wednesday it would 'a* been me."
Bad Off!
A certain actor who had been;
known for his matrimonial ad-!
ventures, one day approached a phy-j
sician and asked for thorough physi-|
cal examination.
"I want to see that I'm fit for aj
good many years yet, Doc,"' he said.
"You know I'm to be married again
soon, for the fifth time."
"H-m," muttered the examiner as
he put the stethoscope to the actor's
heart,"Of course this fifth lady is the
only girly in the world for you, and
this is positively your last matrimon
lai venturer"
"Oh, come, doctor," cried the
Thespain, much alarmed. "I'm not
as bad off as that, am I?"?Savannah
