MAYOR’S COURT.
a Few
Punishment Meeted Out to
Sunday Sinners.
The mayor had several old chronic
offenders before him yesterday morn
ing—some who had “been there be
fore many a time.”
Sol Camp and A1 (alias “Peg”) Pet
ty, two young colored sports who had
nothing else to do, had engaged in a
little “disorderly conduct” for pas
time and amusement, and thus got
the privilege of making their regular
weekly visit to the city court room.
Peg returned from his honor’s pres
ence to mingle again with his brother
sports, but Sol was not so fortunate,
as he was required to contribute
$2.50 in cash to the city treasury or
five days’ laWor to the city’s streets.
Being in a state of chronic “financial
embarrassment,” he is now “doing
something he has never done before”
—he is working.
Golden Smith, (whose name is by
no means indicative of his color) and
Randolph Wood, two more colored
"bloods,” whose physical powers were
also in dire need of healthy exercise,
had indulged themselves in a little
pugullstic bout, which was somewhat
more spirited than artistic, and which
was put down on the docket as "fight
ing.” Mayor Gaffney cooled the ar
dor of the combatants by requiring
them to fork over $2.50 each or take
five days’ exerise with the city street
force. Of course they paid the two-
fifty, though where the money came
from is one of those mysteries pecu
liar to their race only.
The third case on docket, was a
plain, ordinary, every-day drunk,
without the usual trimmings of “dis
orderly conduct,” &e. The imbiber
of the “purely chemical" failed to put
in ids apeparance, and thereby for
feited his bond.
George Jefferies, colored, was the
last on the mourner’s bench, to do
penance for having acted tin hog by
taking on enough "blue steel" for two
or three ordinary men and celebrating
the Sabbath by a regular old flop
eared drunk. The mayor put the fin
ishing touch on his jag by yanking
a dollar out of ids jeans—though how
the dollar came to be there is beyond
the comprehension of mortal man.
But it was ever thus, as everv one
knows. These gents of leisure who
are never known to have a nickel, al
ways manage to “pay out” when they
are hauled up for some violation of
the city ordinances.

It is not the ordinary “hog meat," but
tender, succulent Tennessee pork. Corn
fed and as nutty in flavor as any one
could wish.
A loin or leg roast or some juicy chop
would make an agreeable change from

W E feel very grateful to the citizens of Cherokee County for favoring us
with their trade during the year* 1902, 1903 and 1904; also we have
every reason to believe that they are all well pleased with the Pianos,
Organs and Sewing Machines that they bought from us, as they are
beginning now to see that quality figures more than a few dollars in the purchase
of an article that is to be used for a long peiiod of time, if not for a lifetime.
To those who have not yet bought Pianos, Organs and Sewing Machines from us,
we invite you to come and see our goods and get our prices, which will be very low
during the next 30 days. We are are at all times able and willing to make every
promise true and every guarantee good. So come and see our many different
styles of Organs and New Home Sewing Machines at our store on Limestone St.
