Lewis was away scv oral days last week with a warrant for the arrest of W. H. Alford,. who was wanted in this county for obtaining property by false pretenses. The warrant was sworn out before a magistrate by Mr. VV. M. Mishoe, a countr. merchant running a mercantile establishment near Cool Springs in thb county. The facts are stated to be that Alftrd gave the merchant a Kill of Sale on a mufe claiming that it was clear of ali other mortgages. Later on it turned out that a mortgage was held against the mute by Hon. G. J. Holliday of Galivants Kerry, and under this older paper a constable took the mule and disposed of him. The sheriff went to Bennettsvilie and returned hack through the county with the defendant. At the defendant's request he went with him to see Mr. Mishoe. The defendant tried to arrange it with the prosecutor, but the sheriff could not drop the proceedings in that way, so that the defendant gave his bond for his appearance at the February term of the court of General Sessions here and \?ent hnrft hnnip In the meantime it is thought that the matter will be- adjusted to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. * t IF PEOPLE CONTROL.
