BEFORE THE MAYOR.
>1)ile Hint KoiiihI (MT.-ikI.th up fur IMs-
onlerly Coniluct.
Mayor Littlejohn had «iuite an ar
ray of offenders before him yesterday
morning—both male and female and
white and colored were there—and as
a consequence the city treasury was
made richer by several dollars, while
those who had to “fork over” were
made poorer to the same amount.
Two white men headed the docket
with the hackneyed charge of “drunk
and disorderly” against them. One
of them plead guilty and the other
one denied the charge. After an in
vestigation had been made and the
testimony of five witnesses taken,
the mayor was satisfied they were
both guilty, and, accordingly, lined
them 00 each or the usual num
ber of days. The money was paid.
Three white women were present
charged with having been guilty of
disorderly conduct. They all de
clared themselves not guilty and the
case was investigated, live witnesses
being examined. There was no di
rect proof against the three women
and tire case was dismissed—the wo
men also.
The next case was against a colored
woman for disorderly conduct. Af
ter the testimony of several witnesses
had been h< JiMhe charge was found
to be corre^flfhd she was fined i|!2 50
or ten days in the service of the city.
This lino was very light; but the wo
man was not yet out of tier trouble,
or, rather, her trouble had just be
gun. A gay young colored sport who
had been paying her some attention
was ungentlemanly enough to accuse
her of stealing a dollar from him, and
without the least embarrassment he'
had her “pulled” and brought be
fore the mayor, and there stated his
grievances before the assembled
crowd. The plaintiff in the case had
evidently gone to the woman’s house
with more “tiger” in him than he
should have had, and while in that
condition the money was taken from
him, though he denied being intoxi
cated. An important witness was
absent in this case, and as the proof
was not strong enough to convict,
tiie case was coMinucd until this
witness could be reuud and brought
in.
A few days ago two colored men
had a difficulty in the upper part of
the city. One of them was riding a
male at the time, and, as we learned
IX he was struck on the head by the
one on foot. The one riding the
mule drew his “gun”- and began to
get out of his saddle. As he did so
the weapon was discharged and the
bullet entered the mule’s neck , thus
probably saving the life of the other
negro. That ended the fight, but
the fighters were brought before the
mayor and one of them paid $10 00
while the other was fined only $2.50.
Tho-poor mule, that had nothing to
do with the difficulty, was the only
sufferer.

An Explanation.
In giving an account in last Fri
day’s issue of the installation of offi
cers of the Knights of Pythias, we
spontaneously indulged in what we
thought a little humor at the expense
of our good friend, (’ally Hollis, for
getting for the time, wo suppose, that
we were writing for the public
instead of talking to a private circle
of triends. As opr little attempt at
a joke may be read by those who do
not know what a grand fellow Gaily
is and how high he stands among the
people of Gaffney, we hasten to say
chat we meant nothing in the world
but a joke and knowing what the
Gaffney people thought of the subject
of it, we felt.sure that the joke was
such a broad one that all would un
derstand and enjoy it. We should
certainly never attempt to jok
The Herman Friday Night.
The German Club of Gaffney, gave
quite an enjoyable dance at the Com
mercial Hotel last Friday evening, in
honor of the Misses Anspach, of Phil
adelphia, who has been" visiting in
the city some time, but who has only
returned from a pleasure trip to
Waynesville, X. C. The German
was led in a most gracefnl manner
by Mr. Robert Monroe and Miss Lil
lian Hopper who introduced some very
pretty figures.
Our young men deserve much cred
it for the prompt and agreeable man
ner which they entertain visitors who
come to Gaffney.
Certain it is, that the social func
tion of Friday (evening was enjoyed
to the fullest extent by all who took
part in it, and they will look forward
to another of the kind with anticipa
tion of genuine pleasure.
