THE LEDGER. Tuesday and Friday. *6. H. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, J. Brian Bell, News Editor. NOT E8 AND COMMENTS. Mayor Little did a wise thin* when he instructed the police force to keep the streets of the city clear at night and to enforce the law strictly against vagrancy. We believe that the preva lence of crime in our town is largely the result of the ignoring of the va grancy laws. n m m We predict that the Commercial Club will be of great benefit to our city. If tl.j body of men who compose the organization make up raeir minds to get something for the good of the town they will come pretty ne^- get ting it. No finer body of men can be found in the State, and every member is enthusiastic. • • • We had the pleasure recently of hearing th fi music club at one of its practices, and we were much surprised and gratified at. the proficiency which was displayed, especially by the or chestra.

Mayor’s court, for Tuesday morning was anything but a “flowery bed of ease” for those figuring prominently in it. Cases loomed up and as soon as one could bo disposed of, another would be called on to anne^r and never failed to distinguish itself by appearing before His Honor in the hall of justice. The first case taken up was one that had been forecasted as probable when The Ledger was last printed, as the defendant, Wiltse Montgomery, was languishing behind prison bars. Wiltse w’as on deck as a consequence of an alleged disturbance he had cre ated during public worship in a house of religious services. His misconduct was quoted as the use of profane language and as criticising the sect to which those in attendance a 1 the worship adhered. He is said +o have the city whose attendance may be required. Under the now arrange ment they will lose very little time from their business. The mayor also announced that a vigorous crusade would be instituted at once with a view of enforcing the vagrancy law. As it is. almost anv time, day or night, a number of shiftless oues can be‘seen on the streets with no visable means of support, which the mayor shall construe as making them liable to prosecution and shall act accord ingly.

The next Sunday school union of the northern section of the Broad River Association will meet with the New Pleasant church on Fridav be fore the fifth Sunday in April. 1906. The following programme will be observed: Introductory sermon by Rev. A. J. Bonner, at 11 o’clock. Intermission for forty five minutes Cali for the reports of Sunday schools and enrollment delegates, or ganization. First query: “Ought Sunday school teachers be paid? If so, why? If not, why?” by Charley Davis and others. Second query: “The importance of sacred music in the Sunday schools.” by B. Raymond and others. Adjourn. Meet Saturday at 9:3*) o’clock. First query: “Who should attend the Sunday school union?” by C. A. S. Campbell and others. Second query: “What are the best books to be used In our Sunday schools for music?” by M. B. fellow who anneared as 9. witness against him. The alleged transact ion appeared to a casual observer as complicated, to say the least, as the witness testified that he gave the pris oner money at his house and on re turning received a pint of poor whis key from the mantlepiece. On the other hand, the prisoner was positive that he gave the witness some money and that, he (the witness) went off and on returning placed a pint of whiskey on tne same mantlepiece referred to by the witness. For such complications, the court, ably assisted by the witnesses and attendants, appeared to he suc ceeding to a remarkable extent in unravelling the skein of evidence; but the end was not yet. William Henry Manning, a well-known local character, w’ho is a well-known spec tator (?) in the court chamber and a familiar sight to the officers of the law, appeared an a witness. Here arose complication number two. At the outset, before preceding with the examination of William Henrv. the mayor inquired if he was as truthful as of old. On being assured that he was, the examination proceed ed. As a witness, William Henry was not a great success, hut as an example of how to “butt-in” success fully he did well, as he succeeded in a very few minutes in making a change from witness to the role of prisoner, .on a charge of vagrancy. His presence in the court was a gen tle reminder to the officers that he hadn’t worked for many moons. When called upon for an explanation as to his apparent neglect of ekhib- The formal announcement of my name as a candidate for State senator in your last Issue requires prompt notice at my hands.
