This was fast bearing on a calamity and one could foresee the result if it, continued. Mayor’s court is and has always been regard ed as a blessing to the weary scribe who plods and plods, finding nothing on which to vent his wrath, or rather to casually mention in the columns of his down trodden sheet, until find ing the peace and quiet of an interesti- ing mayor’s court he can rest and resting can feast his eyes on the sin ners there assembled and write, my, how he can write, filling column af ter column with the doings and •'ranks of a long-sufferipg mayor’s court and thus relieve embarrassment in the way of lack of opy for the time being. But for ten days theye has been no mayor’s court. The custo- - arv place for holding it seems desert ed and has a look of sadness. The meek little head that adorns the head of this column has been reposing peacefully with its brothers and sis ters in the tyne family and had not honored the paper bv - annearance for the aforesaid ^n days. But the startling announcement was wafted into The Ledger office r *ster- day that', lo! and behold! there would 1> ( , mayor’s court at nine o’clock. Nat urally such an announcement caused a panic. A few' remarked, “I told you so ” and some that “Peace couldn’t last forever.” The foreman histily began to search for the little head, “A Merry Morning With the Mayor,” knowing full well that he would have occasion now to use it to advantage in short order. Alas! it had lain in seclusion so long that a generous quan" titv of dust had accumulated on its surface and he began to industriously dust' it off. With its coat spick and span and it shining over its chance to reappear in the paner, he desisted from his labor. Bv the tim P he had completed this labor, the writer was half wav to the city hall, almost, if quite, running, in his anxiety to reach his important noint before the proceedings wore concluded. Four gav damsels of darkest shade had ventured on the sidewalks of the eit- Wednesday night notwithstand ing the fact that the city ordinance hook contains a little act urging them p remain within doors after nightfall iand not roam the citv. As a reward for their braver - in venturing out. the mayor kindlv imoosed a fine of five dollars or ton days in jail on one, and two bucks and a half or five days in jail on the other three. Such parti ality was occounted for by one of the ct* ■ officers by the remark that as an offender, the one most honored was somewhat chronic and rarely made the sessions conspicuous by her ab sence. Another case, of small import ance, was on docket, but being only one of disorderly conduct, in w r hich the alleged offender was dismissed, it was completely overshadowed by the j Other. Thp damsals fined were as fel low's: Mlssie Glenn (who was disrin , guished by the parting of company j with the five-snot), Clara Dowdle. Nei- I lie McCollough and Essie Martin. It 1 is very nrobabh- that henceforth when I these have a longing fo»- the benefits of th^ open air they will eniov it in j the dav tim P and not postpone their i enjoyment until rh P shades of night have gathered around them. Since the shining example the mayor has set to those, it is doubtless that others of th" same ilk will, cease their midnight rambles and will choose other songs than “We won’t go home till morning,'' and “Nobody works but father, while we lie ’round all night.” B. B. THE N. P. (. S. S. CONVENTION. Mr. J. Q. Little Nominated for Senate. Mr. Editor:—We are not politicians nor candidates for office, hut we are voters and taxpayers interested in see ing our countv affairs properly admin istered by com' 'tent men. The time has eom P when the people should be represented in the State senate by comnetent men of their own free choice, and not bv politicians who pan der to anything in order to win popu larity and votes. This ring-rule busi ness ought, to be broken up and we believe that we exnres- the majority senliment of the farming financial and Industrial interest® of Cherokee countv when we sav that there's on man who can do U. and who can be depended upon to orotect all interests of our people. No man will question his integrity or honestv or business sense and business ability. He is not a politician hut js a plain, blunt man, who loves his people and will spend his time and monev to serve their in terests. He has twice been honored with the office of mavor of this thriv ing citv and has 'filled the position with credit to himself and his neopie He has the ciby affairs in such shape now, or can have by November, so that his policies can be carried out without a hitch in the event he will run for the senate. He is worthy of the honorable position of State senator and would wear the honors of that position worthily, so that no man in that body of able men would be his superior. W© refer to Mr. Jqhn Q. Little and nominate him for the posi tion. The people of the whole countv need him, the senate needs him and the business and farming interests demand that he respond to the call.
