THE MAYOR’S COURT. Saturday Revellers and Whiskey Sellers Niiiiiinarily Dealt With. The mayor’s court presented quite a lively scene yesterday morning when the usual Monday morning per formance began. There were quite a number of violators of the law, several witnesses and a crowd of spectators. The first case on docket was that of Mat Pennington for disorderly con duct, which had been continued from the week before. Mat pleaded not guilty, but after the testimony of several witnesses was heard it was evident that he was not altogether innocent of the charge against him, and he was ordered to pay a fine of $2.00 or work on the streets for ten days. He paid the fine. The wit nesses were. W. D. Pennington and George and Forest Pennington. The next case was the city council against Roland Kennedy for selling liquor contrary to all the laws against such traffic. Roland plead guilty without any hesitation and was given the alternative of turning over to the city fifty dollars, either hard or soft, or engaging in a more honora ble occupation, that of laboring for thirty days on the streels of the c>ty Not having the dollarshe was com pelled to take the days. Rob Morgan’s name was next on the list of offenders; and he was charged with having indulged him self in tho luxury of a plain, com mon, every day drunk, without any variations or variegated trimmings, but Rob had very discreetly taken himself to other parts, and thereby forfeited a bond of three and one half dollars. Hilliard Runner was then called upon to explain why he could not be have himself like a decent citizen of the town should, instead of becom ing obstreperous and cavorting around in a dlsorderlv manner Hilliard claimed that ho was not guilty of such gross neglect of the way he was ‘ brought up;” but truthful witnesses in the persons of Thomas II. Lockhart. Jim Watkins and Wm. Manning satisfied the mayor that he was guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt, and he was kindly requested to fork over six and one- ha! f dollars, or to expend his super fluous strength toward improving the thoroughfares of the city for the period of twenty-five days Being financially embarrassed he is, in con science thereof, now doing duty under the watchful care of Capt. Thackston. Henry Manning labored under the too common impression that the world owed him a living and ail that he had to do was to draw his pay. He was rudely awakened from that sweet delusion by being brought up on a charge of vagrancy; and when he has finished serving his twenty- five days in the service 01 the city authorities, which days he accepted in preference to paying six dollars and a half that he didn’t have, he will have learned that all who get a living in this country must work for it. John Graham couldn’t make money fast enough at honorable work, so he proof eded to add the sale of whiskey to his other business. He has found, though, now, that the results were somewhat different from what be ex- pecied, insomuch that, owing to his inability to pay one bundled dollars, an amount which must have stagger ed him to even hear of, he has gone to swell the force now working the streets and the cjty will get twenty- five days of his time free of charge, except his board. All this for the sake of making a dollar or two a week extra. D. P. Morgan brought up the rear with the usual charge of plain drunk against him. Besides what he was minus for the whisky he imbibed he forfeited a bond of $3.50 which he had put up for his appearance at court yesterday morning. Perhaps he is now a wiser man.

It W»* Not In the Nature of u Farewell A<Ulrt'»n. but » I’ractlcal Sermon. The Limestone Street Methodist church was well filled last night by a congregation that had gathered to hear Rev. Sam. T. Creech’s farewell sermon. Before taking his text Mr. Creech made a statement in which he said that for personal reasons he had determined not to preach a regular farewell sermon, as he disliked to say farewell. He said there was too much sadness in the word and that he would therefore preach a regular sermon with a few preliminary re marks as a farewell. He held within his heart a pleasant recollection of Gaffney and he begged to assure his friends that when he went away he would carry with him some recollec tions of the happiest moments of his life. Some one had said that when lie got away he would be casting stones at Gaffney. Such would not be the case with him. If he had stones to cast at the people of Gaff ney he would do it while in their midst. He had cast stones while here and some of them had landed fairly and squarely and had caused some to think he was rather severe, but he only did these things for the love of Christ and to point poor way ward humanity to the light of the cross. This had been his first charge, and here he had done his first pasto ral work and he loved Gaffney and her people and if he had ever given offense to any man he stood ready to apologize. Mr. Creech then preach ed a good sermon from Revelations 9:3 10. At the conclusion of the sermon the large congregation gath ered around the altar to give the de parting minister a farewell shake of tiie hand and to speak a word of cheer. There were many eyes that were dimmed with tears and the closing scene was itrmressive. Tuotiood St-nnonft. Rev. R. F. Treadway, pastor of the Baptist church of Shelby, and Rev. R. P. Robertson, of this city ex changed pulpits Sunday. Mr. Tread way delivered two excellent sermons here. The forenoon sermon was espec ially good. The speaker chose as his subject “God,” and during the dis course pointed out the fallacy of man’s efforts to find God in nature, sun, moon and stars and images, in tellect and reason, and declared that God revealed himself in love, and that the only way for humanity to find God was through love. The ser mon was logical and plain. Mr. Treadway is a very good pulpit orator and his discourse pleased the large audience. The music was a feature of both services. A suburban woman was so Incon solable for the loss of her husband that when she played on the piano, she touched only the black keys. The ChrlutniHA I.edKor.

NoNeutt from Ills Stolen Mulen. Superintendent McArthur has heard nothing in regard to the mules which were stolen from him nearly two weeks ago. It is certainly won derfully strange how a person can steal as large a thing as a mule and get away with it in a thickly settled country like this. Doubly strange is it that he could escape with three mules. It is to bo hoped that the perpetrators of the numerous bold and daring thefts that have occurred in this section of the country within tho past few weeks will be caught and punished to the fullest possible extent of the law.

Do you got a tickling sensation in tho throat which only coughing will relieve, and that for a short time only? Do you cough so hard that your stomach hurts from tho offort ? Are you “stopped up” in the head and throat f Does your voice got husky? A. liixcl Oold, As it is usual!v called, is a congestion of blood in the inner blood vessels of the bronchial tubes and lungs. This causes an internal fever and an itnflammatiou of the parts congested, rap idly spreading to other parts of the body. Thus a cold begets a fever or heat. Tlie Clause. Exposure to a draught of cool air when the body is over heated causes a sudden lowering of the temperature of the surface of the body. The blood from the surface is driven in and the smaller blood vessels become suffused with more Wood than na ture intended them to dispose of. Congestion. * The vessels swell up and become congested, the air passages become inflamed and the mere parsing 01 the air in breathing irritates them. This causes that tickling sensation and a cough is the result. The mucus secretions become thick and hard and increases the local fever which ensues. Proper Course to Pursue. There is only one way to cure a cold whether it he an ordi nary cold or one resulting from “Grippe”—and that is to pro mote a free flow of the secretions and relieve the congestion. The Remedy--Dr. WOFFORD’S EXPECTORANT. It promotes a free flow of the secretions, scatters the con gested blood back to its circulation and restores the suppressed 1 and congested air passages to their normal condition.
