Foil ‘'DlHorderly’' Persons Hefore the
Mayor Yesterday Morning.
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.

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.
