The docket in the city court yes terday morning was composed of the usual class of sinners with the usual charges against them, with the ex ception that there was a larger ag gregation of dusky damsels present than usual. “Fedo” Petty, a full-fledged mem ber of Gaffney’s colored sporting fra ternity, and at one time a familiar figure around the mayor’s court room, was first called upon to show cause why he had been a disorderly person and indulged in certain disor derly conduct with which he was charged. The case against him was thoroughly investigated, and it was proved by half a dozen witnesses that he had really and truly acted in a manner that was decidedly of a disorderly nature. “Fedo” could offer nothing satisfactory in extenua tion of his obstreperous conduct, and in consequence of his failure to do so, Mayor Littlejohn was forced to make him pay a license for his per formance. The license was two dol lars, or fifteen days on the streets at another kind of performance. “Fedo” paid the two dollars. The next case was a plain, ordinary, every-day drunk—a white man being the culprit. He had put up a bond of two-fifty for his appearance at court yestersay morning, and failing to appear bis bond was forfeited. - Genie Montgomery, a female of shady appearance, and perhaps stili shadier character, was on hand to answer to a charge of creating a dis turbance and using language that Webster failed to register in his dic tionary. Six witnesses were present to testify against Genie; but she ac knowledged her wrong-doing, and in consideration of five hard-earned dolla'S deposited in the city treas ury, she was permitted to go her way in peace. Another “disorderly” brought up the rear of the wicked procession. Five witnesses testified as to his un becoming, ungentlemanly and un lawful conduct; but as he had only been disorderly on a small scale, he got off with a light fine—one dollar or fifteen days. He paid the dollar. REV. WILLIAM R. POTTER. HU The I’reeyyteriHu'M New r«aiur Hold* Klrat Service. Rev. VV. R. Potter, the new pastor of the Limestone Presbyterian Church in this city, held his first service Sunday morning. His lesson was taken from Matthew 10:18: “Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not pre vail against it.” Mr. Potter spoke earnestly and with vigor, and his audience gave him the closest stten- tion. His theme was that the true church was built upon the rock Christ Jesns. In the evening Mr. Potter chose as his text Phillipians 2:5: “Let this mind be In yon which was also in Christ Jesns.” This service was In the nature of a anion service of the First Baptist and the Buford Street Methodist con gregations with the Presbyterians. Mr. Potter’s remarks were based upon the seven pronounoed ebarao terlstioi of Christ, vis: His spirit of mission, prayer, love, grace, I | ness, sympathy and unaeltiihneis. The theme waa a pretty on* i handled in nice atyle by the apeaker. At the close of the service c number of people went up and acquainted with Mr. Potter. A feature of both the morn To Hold ■ Meeting In Maryland. Rev. W. S. b. Ford, pastor of the Cherokee Avenue Baptist Church leaves tomorrow evening for Cam bridge, Md., where he goes to con duct a meeting. Mr. Ford will be absent until after the fifth Sunday. During his absence his pulpit will be supplied by Rev. A. D. Davidson, who preaches next Sunday morning, Rev. G. P. Hamrick, who preaches next Sunday evening, and Rev. F. C. Hickson, who preaches Sunday night week. The Ledger wishes Mr. Ford a pleasant stay in Maryland. A Handsome Hum Keallzed. The Ice cream supper Saturday night in the basement of the Chero kee Avenue Baptist Church was quite a success in every feature, and the members of that church are highly elated over the results. The supper was given to help defray the expense of painting the church, and the handsome sum of $30 was realized. This enabled the officers of the church to appoint a committee to go ahead with the work of having the church painted. A Twenty-Five Found Baby. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Godfrey, of Maud, are rejoicing over the arrival in their family of a new baby boy, which for tlze is ahead of anything in Cherokee county, and, very likely in any other county. This very remarka ble robust infant was born Sunday morning and tips the scales at twenty-five pounds, avoirdujoD. The mother and child are both do ing nicely. It Dazzled The World.
