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.

hundred extra copies of this issue
which will bo sold at the regular retail

send to some one away from the city
will do well to send in their order at
once. Merchants and business men
who desire to be represented in the

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.

Have you a cough? Do you catch cold readily? 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. Price, 25
1 and 50c. per bottle.
