fortunes never come singly, it fell to
Will's lot to pay a fine of five hard-
earned dollars or serve fifteen days
under Capt. Thackaton. All this in
addition to a drunk on “Tfi,” which,
In itself, is as much of a‘‘misfortune”
as any common man ought to want.
Dock Winn was next on the list of
offenders. Dock had been Indulg
ing in the youthful sport of firing a
pistol just to make a noise and to
“hear it shoot,” and as he was
having this fun within the city
limits he was hauled up before the
city’s chief executive to receive
punishment for bis offense. This
punishment was in the shape of five
dollars or twenty-five days on the
gang. Dock forked over the dollars;
and the next time he wants a little
pistol practice he will probaWj go
beyond the city boundry line to have
his sport.
Lum Whitesides next paid six dol
lars for some disorderly conduct in
which he had been engaging. Lum
claimed that be was not guilty of
the charge; but the evidence was too
strong, and he was fined accordingly.
William Patton, white, brought up
the rear with the same charge against
him, that of disorderly conduct. He
was fined six-fifty or twenty-five days
in the service of the city. He was
unable to pay the dollars, so he had
to take the days, and began on his
term that same day.
“Tooch” Glenn is again In limbo.
He had just finished serving a long
term in Asheville, N. 0., and had
only been at home a few days, when
his propensity for “acquiring” a
living without work got the better of
his will power or his fear of detection
and punishment, and he straightway
proceeded to take unto himself some
things that belonged to another.
Either that, or he bad become charm
ed with life on the “gang” and
wanted to go back again. Any way,
he was brought before the mayor a
few days ago to answer to a charge of
petit larceny, and as his “answer”
was not at all satisfactory to His
Honor, he was required to pay au X
in Uncle Sam’s currency, or work
twenty seven days for the benefit of
the city. “Tooch” was entirely out
of funds, as a matter of course, and
he is now doing time under the street
overseer.
There were only two offenders be
fore Mayor Littlejohn yestttday
morn’ng, and only two dollars^paid
into the treasury. George Corry^nd
Bob Lyles were up for swinging on
the curs while they were in motion.
Each one was fined $1.00 or ten days
on the street, and they both paid the
dollar.
HICKSON, THE ORATOR.
Son of a Gaffney Minister Takes First
Honor la Orltorlcal Contest.
A large audience crowded the audi*
torium of the Judsou Memorial Hall
Friday evening, March 8th, to wit
ness the most hard fought battle in
oratory Greenville has ever seen.
At 8:30 o’clock the speakers appear
ed on the etage ready for the presid
ing pfflcer, President McClain, of the
Adelphian society, to announce the
first contestant. The program for
the evening was as follows: .
Music.
A. P. Hickson—In a court room.
A. J. Graham—A voice aud not au
echo.
Music.
W. W. Coleman—The race prob
lem.
8. M. Wolf—The evolution of the
American constitution.
Music.
B. L. Blackwell—Aircastles vs
reality.
E. B. Rice—Choice of motives.
The judges were: Dr. C, 8. Gar
dener, Rev. A. R. Mitchell, Col. J.
A. Hoyt, Capt. J. A. Mooney and T.
P. Cothran. It was sometime before
the judges could decide the winner
of the contest. At last Dr. Gardener
announced in a brief speech that
they had decided in favor of A. P.
Hickson, with 8. M. Wolf second.
Mr. Hickson is a member of the se
nior class in which he is taking a
good stand.
His speech was one which showed
deep study of the courts and was de
livered with the most perfect style
Furman has ever known.
The State orltorlcal contest will
meet in Chester on April 20th and
Mr. Hickson is to represent Furman
University in this contest.
Each one of the young men who
spoke did credit to himself and to
Furman. Their speeches abounded
In sound, practical thought, indi
cating thorough preparation and
study.
CasiMi Nonsuited.
Nothing much was done in court
this week, and very little last week.
On Monday the two cases of the
Perrys against the Carpet Mill were
nonsuited, and there being no more
business to occupy the attention of
the court until the following Friday
(today). Judge Townsend deemed it
advisable to adjourn court altogether.
Accordingly, this was done, and their
will be no more court until next
June.
Judge Townsend went to his home
in Union Tuesday.
A Good Cough Medli-luo for Children.
“I have no hesitancy in recommen
ding Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,”
says F. P. Moraif, a well known
and popular baker, of Peters
burg, Va. “We have given it to our
children when troubled with bad
coughs, also whooping cough, and it
has always given perfect satlafactioii.
It was recommended to me by a drug
gist as the best cough medicine for
children as it contained no opium or
other baimful drug.” Sold by Chero
kee Drug Co.
KILLING IN SPARTANBURG.
One Itarher Slnjra Another nt Their Sweet
heart'* IIoiinc.
Hpartanburg ha-i had another
shooting scrape. This time an in
dividual of color did the perforating
act, and the result was, a dead negro.
Madge or Major Cunningham and
David Gilliard, two colored barbers
of the city, were both infatuated with
a dusky damsel by Ihe name, real or
professional, of Ida Clark. They
met up Sunday night at the house
of their sweetheart, and Cunning
ham proceeded with a “forty-four. ’
At the coroner’s inquest the evi
dence was conflicting, some of the
witnesses claiming (hat the shoot
ing was accidintal, and otlieis that
Cunningham “didn’t know it was
loaded.” GillLrd made a ton-
fession, however, before ho died,
In which be stated that the acci
dental part was not true and that
the killing was purposely done.
Gilliard was shot through the
bowels with a 41-calibre pistol ball,
and died at one o’clock Tuesday af
ternoon. Cunningham is in the
Spartanburg jail.
ItiHliop Itounil Over.
The negro who stole Dr. Pott’s
horse and buggy in Spartanburg last
Friday night, and who was captured
here Saturday and sent back to
Spartanburg, has had a hearing be
fore Magistrate McGowan, in that
city, and been bound over to court.
He is now in jail and will probably
not take another buggy ride for a
long time.
The Spartanburg papers say that
Bishop, the real name of the negro,
is a man of bad reputation, a notori
ous thief and as desperate and vicious
as he is depraved..
The thief had disposed of the med
ical case and surgical instruments
when he was captured, but Dr. Pott’s
has succeeded in recovering some of
them.
George W. Waitt, of South Gar
diner, Me., says: “I have had the
worst cough, cold, chills and grip and
have taken lots of trash of no account
but profit to the vender. Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy is the only
thing that has done pny good what
ever. I have used one bottle of it
and the chills, cold and grip have all
left me. I congratulate the manu
facturers of an honest medicine.”

You can get good shoes yet, a little higher, perhaps, to begiu with, but cheaper in the end. You
often hear t-he complaint that all the shoes you buy now are “no good.” This is a mistake. We
like <0 talk our shoes because we know we have good ones, but you must not expect to get them at
