A boy offered to sell kittens to a noted Baptist minister on the ground that they were Baptist kittens. He would not buy, and afterward,
while in company with a Methodist clergyman, the same boy was trying to sell them as Methodist kittens. “Are not these the sarnef<itterrs
you offered as Baptist kittens?” “Yes, but they have since got their eyes open.”

BUSINESS BRISK IN
MAYOR’S COURT.
Number of Cases Disposed of
During the‘.Week.
ENFORCING BICYCLE LAW
UGorderly Condurt. Drunks Violating; 1*1-
cyele Ordinance and One Kiglit Coinpoeed
the Docket Warning to lilcycle Riders
To Heed The Law.
Business bas been quite brisk in
the police court this week, and dur
ing the last two or three days, espec-
ally, tbe city’s chief executive has
een dispensing justice with a lavish
hand. The offenses were all minor
ones, however, and the fines, for the
most part, were small.
About a month ago two young
white men in the city had a difficulty
and one of them used his knife on
the other, though the wounds he in
flicted were slight. The one who
did the cutting escaped and remain
ed at large until a few days ago,
when he returned to town and was
arrested. He was brought before the
mayor, and after an investigation he
was fined twenty dollars, with the
alternative of twenty-five days on
the street. He paid the fine.
Tbe next case to come up in the
city court was against two men for
disorderly conduct. The case was
continued until this (Friday) morn
ing.
Monday morning a white man was
up for drunkenness. It was his
first offense, and in consideration of
that fact he was let off with a fine of
$2.50 or ten days on tbe streets. He
paid the money.
Three men, two colored and one
white, were on hand for riding bicycles
on tbe sidewalks on Sunday, which
was strictly against a late ordinance
prohibiting such. They were each
fined one dollar, and all paid the
fine.
Yesterday morning’s proceedings
began by imposing a fine of $2.50 or
ten days on a mortal of the male per
suasion win had taken on more of
the cbemioally pure than he could
carry and had to be carried to the
lockup in a delivery wagon. He paid
tbe two-fifty.
Two colored sports were next ar
raigned for having amused themselves,
and possibly some on-looking admir
ers, by indulging in a little disorderly
conduct in utter disregard of the
city laws against such. The Mayor
retaliated by exacting a license tax
of $2 f>0 from one and $5 00 from the
other, for their little performance,
backing up bis request with an alter
native of fifteen and twenty-five days
respectively. One of them paid his
bard earned V- ^
i'earl Cleveland ana Lou Downs,
two colored females with characters
as shady as their complexions, had a
set-to at the home of the latter, in
which pieces of stovewood and eul-
phur-hued words suggestive of brim
stone regions formed a conspicuous
part. “One word brought on an
other,” and the "another” brought a
E lece of stovewood down on Pearl's
rad 'piece, and b<Hh the words and
the wood brought the two to the po
lice court. As each one seemed to
bo as much at fault as the other they
were lined $2 50 a pieca or fifteen
nijs on the gang. The Downs
woman forked over the amount re
quired from her at once, but Pearl
went to the jag for awhile and paid
later.
The last on docket were Mose and
Sol Kirby and Clarence Sanders, col
ored, for riding bicycles in a reckless
manner. The fine of one dollar or
five days was imposed upon each one
of them, and they paid the dollars.
There is a city ordinance whh h
strictly forbids the riding of bicychf
In a reckless manner and riding them
on the si lewalks anywhere in the city
on Sunday. It will be seen by the
above cases that the mayor is strictly
enforcing this ordinance, and It
would he well for .»very one who
rides a wheel to heed the warning set
forth.in the ordinance referred to.
It has been a law for some time that
when a rider passes a pedestrian he
should lirst ask permission to do so.
The custom is, however, to pass
first, and somstlmes at a rapid rate,
and then ask permission. The side
walks of the olty are generally too
crowded to admit of any fast riding
without danger to pedcitrlaoa.
Eipeotally is this tbe case on Sunday,
and as It Is a matter of impossibility
to regulate the speed of every wheel
man, It ii better to keep them off tbe
side walks altogether oo tbs day
when It Is customary for a greater
duqFu of pedtiirlapi to be ibioVdi
RECEPTION FRIDAY NIGHT.
Younic Men of the City Will Kutertuin
Their I.mly FriendM at the Commercial
There will be a reception at the
Commercial Hotel on Friday even
ing, May the 10th, given by the
young society men of the eity to
their young lady friends in Gaffney,
Handsome invitations have been is
sued and the affair promises to equal
the one given by the same young
men to the students and teachers of
Limestone College some time ago.
There will probably be some attend
ants from a d’stance and ihe event.is
looked forward to with eager expec
tancy and anticipations of the keen
est pleasure and delight by the young
people of the city who have been fa
vored with invitations.
The young men who are so assidu
ously devoting themselves to the pur
pose of giving pleasure to their lady
friends (and, incidentally, to them
selves) are determined to leave noth
ing undone that might contribute in
the least to the pleasure of the occa
sion ; and the triumph they scored by
the Limestone reception is sufficient
assurance that i he one of next Friday
night will not be lucking in any feat
ure tending topromote the enjoyment
of their fair guests.
