A MERRY MORNING
WITH THE MAYOR.
Mayor’s court for the last few days
has been singularly honored. Noti by
numbers, for those in atendan« e have
not filled the court chamber to over
flowing by any means, but the honor
lies in those who did appear. Persons
of honor in ihe community, those who
ar-' known—and well known at that—
in Gaffney, and this item will interest
many on account of the fact that they
are interested in it. Their connection
v-ith it. in the scribe’s eye. greatly en
hances the value of this skit eui a
news item.
Betsv Anderson and Bill Dawkins
have been among those that have er
red and fallen by the wayside. Among

chemically pure, but both in different
w^vs. Betsy had posed as a dealer,
a human dispensary for the juice of
the corn, while Bill was exactly op
posite—he drank all he could get and
was present with a drunk and disor
derly charge staring him in the face,
j B ‘tsv is about as broad as she is long,
j and it is probable that the charge
against her is of the same ealibre; that
is.it would appear of equal magnitude,
no matter from which direction it
was viewed. It seems that his honor
looked at it in that light, as a fine of
fifty dollars or thirty days on the gang
was the result of the case.
It is an undisputed fact that Bill
Dawkins is a well-known character.
The reason for this is not known at
this time and I will assign none, al
though sbveral might be advanced
that; would suit the occasion equally
well. He glories in the honors that
he has achieved and none rise up to
sav that he is not entitled to them. He
has been a former colorefl preacher.
He achieved much notoriety by an al
liance with a band of holiness negroes.
He even went so far as to actively con
nect himself with that branch of wor
ship. until recently it was noticed that
he was no longer so intimate with
them. This phase naturally caused
comment and no little alarm, but when
I approached the one most concerned
and asked him if he had been turned
out of that church he indignantly re-
nlied that such was a mistake, that he
had quit. As he seemed reticent and
not disposed to talk on the subject, it
was dropped and I did not pursue the
enquiries any farther. He had taken
still greater glorv unto himself by his
latest deed, as recorded yesterday in
the mayor’s court. It seemed that
Bill had taken it. on himself to cele
brate Easter by getting drunk. It had
gradually shaped itself into disor
derly conduct, as a result of which he
was soon landed behind prison bars.
His distaste to prison life w as soon aP'
parent, as he objected strenuously to
being committed and came dangerous
ly near to having a charge of resist
ing an officer registered against him.
When questioned he said that he sel
dom became under the influence of
liquor hut that ou this occasion he
thought he would celebrate Thanks
giving. As Thanksgiving is some dis
tance awav and Easter had just made
its anpearance. he undoubtedly meant
the latter. He was positive that he
would not have become under the In
fluence of drink even then had it been
in a normal condition, hut h e was ab
solutely sure that it had been salted.
Just what effect the said salting
would have I do nor know, as we have
no data on that subject. From the
testimony of Bill it was gathered that
in his opinion salting would increase
its powers of intoxication. Bill was
fined fifteen dollars or thirty days on
♦he gang. He was given his choice of
the town crew or the county roads on
which to spend the thirty days. He
chosp the town crew, who are a work
the town crew or the county roads on
which to spend the thirty days. He
chose the town crew, who are at work
upon the citv streets. He has in the
nast had experience on the county
chain gang, but whether this has any
thing to do with his choice of course
cannot he said. B. B.

CHAIR HAMMOCK
Just think, you can make an extra room of your porch—the
coolest, most serviceable room in your home, too—at a cost of
from $2.00 to $10.00 !
Vudor Porch Shades make this possible; they keep out the
hot sun, but admit the cool, refreshing breeze.
They can be instantly raised or lowered, witli very little effort.
They are light, but exceedingly durable, being constructed of
thin strips of Linden wood fibre woven witli the strongest seine
twine.
Their moderate price puts them within the reach of everyone
who can afford to have a porch at all, The cost is insignificant
in comparison with their utility and the added comfort and
pleasure they afford.
Think of the many pleasant hours you can spend on your porch
during the hot, stifling days in summer if it is equipped with
these shades ! And then ask yourself, can you afford to be with
out Vudor Porch Shades this summer?
Then in connection with Shades you should have a Vudor
Hammock—the best made. Come and see them.
Yours truly,
SIluforci & I^elVtaster.
