• A merry morning #
• with the mayor. .
Ten long, hob, dusty days and no
mayor’s court. 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.

By concealing it about their person, by stowing
