DOLLARS AND DAYS.
r.a
OffetulerM AsiiuiMt the City OnliiiHiieeH
Iti-ought Ilefore the Mayor.
Five sinners have received their re
spective rewards in the mayor’s court
since Tuesday.
Fayette Alexander, a colored indi
vidual who is by no means a stranger
in the city court room, had an alter
cation with bis spouse a few days ago
and at once proceeded to^ “correct”
her in no gentle manner. As a con
sequence it soon became his turn to
be “corrected” by Mayor Littlejon.
Fayette claimed that he was justified
in chastising his better half, but His
Honor thought otherwise aud taxed
him a V' or twenty-five days labor on
the gang. Fayette went to the gang,
but soon succeeded in getting him
self released from custody, lu all
probability the woman he had beaten
got up the money and paid his line—
they generally do in such cases.
Farrow Kirby, colored, who works
at the lime kilns, was next arranged
(in his absence) for disturbing re
ligious worship and using language not
found in any standard books of the
time at or near the colored Baptist
church on Sunday. Farrow was tried
in his absence and a fine of $7.50 was
imposed upon him. It was linaliy
decided, though, to have him in
court and an officer was sent for
him. For this trouble and expense
$2.50 more v;as added to ids fine and
thus uiado ir, $10 00. .The montv
was pai l and Farrow vowed he would
u°ver ho guilty of such conduct
again. That, however, was before
the money was made up for his fine.
A white man was next on the roll
call to answer to a charge of drunken
ness. He was guilty of the charge
and paid $2.00 for his jag, above the
cost of the liquor.
The last case was against a young
white man for taking on too much
“chemically pure.” His fine was
placed at $3 75 or fifteen days on the
streets. The money was paid.
Anna Foster, a colored “lady”
whose principal occupation is walk
ing the streets and wearing line
clothes, was up for creating a dis
turbance at a “fcstibul” Saturday
night, or on the way from it. She
probably proved that she was more
“sinned against than sinning,” or,
else, the mayor from the nature of
the case, and from the evidence, con
sidered that she had already been
sufficiently punished, as the charges
against her were dismissed.
A McCormick Itlmfcr on Kxhlblt,
Messrs. J. 0. Lipscomb <fc Bro., of
this city, have issued invitations to
the public in general, and to the
farmers of Cherokee county especi-
ally, to attend an exhibition of the
famous McCormick wheat harvester
on Wednesday, June 19th, on the
farm of Mr. W. 0. Lipscomb near
the city. The McCormick binder
and harvester seems to be gaining
quite a reputation for itself among
Cherokee farmers and on more occa
sions than one has proven its right
to the praise bestowed upon- it.
Messrs. Lipscomb & Bro. are satis
fied, themselves, as to the work it
will do, but they wish to prove its
merits to the farmers of the county,
and for that purpose they will have
it on exhibition at the time and place
mentioned above, when all who are
interested are invited to see it In
operation.
A OulTuejr Hoy at Furman.
The commencement proper of Fur
man University, in Greenville, took
place Wednesday night in the Jnd-
■on Memorial hall of the university.
There were nine graduates, one of
the number being Allison P. Hickson,
son of Rev. F. C. Hickson of our
city. Mr. Hickson graduated with
the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and
besides the honors which have just
been conferred upon him, he has
distinguished himself in other ways
elected A :^ q 5;'®®' of this city, was
alumni assSof* ^ member of the
vtrsity for the olR. °f Furmac Uni-
year.
Thoutiwun.Pali, ter,
On the 9th lost., at the residence
K ' t Thompson, on Victoria
Avenue, Mr. J. c. Thompson and
Miss A. G. Painter were united in
marriage in the presence of a few
friends.

Mr. Potter Arrives.
Rev. Wm. R. Potter, accompanied
by his wife and child, arrived in the
city Wednesday afternoon from
Mount Carmel, Tenn. Mr. Potter is
the new pastor of the Presbyterian
church in this city. He is a young
man and comes well recommended.
In fact he is regarded as one of the
best ministers in the Presbytery
which he has just left, and it was
largely due to the malaria in the
district from which Mr. Potter comes
that the Presbyterians of Gaffney
were enabled to secure his services.
Mr. and Mrs. Potter will receive a
warm welcome in Gaffney. They will
occupy Mrs. Sophia Goode’s residence
on Jefferies street. Mr. Potter will
hold his first service next Sabbath
morning and a cordial invitation is
extended the public to attend.
A Novel Sl|{lit.
It was quite a novel sight, and one
rather unusual in this part of the
country that met the eyes of passers
by Mr. W. L. Morgan’s place, near
the city, Wednesday. The novel
sight was Miss Willie Morgan, the
twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. Mor
gan, driving a McCormick right-hand
binder in her father's field. It was
in the nature of a test of the ma
chine and demonstrated the fact that
it was so constructed as to bo easily
operated, even by a child. Miss Wil
lie proved herself thoroughly compe
tent to manage fie machine.
CMldreiiH Day PxerclMea.
The Childrens Day ( xercises of the
Buford Street M. PL church will take
place at the graded school building
on next Sunday evening at 8-30
o’clock. An attractive and interest
ing program has been arranged and n
cordial invitation is extended the
public to attend the exercises.
