Hydrlck Monday af ternoon in the oase of the city of Gaffney vs. B. L. Jones, who was convicted by Mayor Little on the charge of selling whiskey and sen tenced to pay a fine of $50 in habeas corpus proceedings and asked that Jones be dismissed. The motion was resisted by J. B. Bell, attorney for the city council of Gaffney. “The defendant was convicted be fore Mayor Little of Gaffney, several days ago on the charge of selling liquor in violation of the city ordi nances and was taxed $50. Mr. Hall raised the question that the ordinance wag unconstitutional, taking the posi tion that the town of Gaffney has no Inherent power to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of whiskey and fixing a penalty for violation of the ordinance. He further contended that neither the legislature nor the charter conferred upon the city coun cil the right to enact such an ordi nance. The power to prohibit the sale of whiskey he maintained is vested in the legislature. “After hearing the arguments Judge Hydrlck held that the city i council of Gaffney had the right to pass ordinances prohibiting the sale 1 of Honor and that the mayor of Gaff ney has the right, to try all cases for violation of such ordinance and up on conviction to pass sentence. The motion to discharge the defendant was refused by the court. “He was granted bail in the sum of $200. The case will be appealed and It may find Its way to the su preme court.’’ AN EMPTY P0CKETB00K '^May mean the most abject povertyj’if it stands alone, but if backed up by a check book, it means thrifty management and, perhaps, wealth.

On and after September 1st, 1907, I will sell no more bread or bread tickets on credit. My reasons for establishing a cash basis are too numerous to men tion, however, will mention a few : First. The material from which bread is made is bought strictly for cash, and must be sold accordingly. Second. Bread is sold for too small a margin to pay for carrying an entry through the number of books it must go when charged. Last, but not least, purchas ers of tickets frequently receive bread from the driver without giving him a Lcket, as they are not convenient, and when hills are presented they are under the impression that tickets have been given in exchange and unpleasant feelings are caused when such bills are presented to both purchaser and collector. I trust you will thoroughly understand my position and realize it is to the best interest of both purchasers and myself tfcat I establish a cash basis, and always send cash when you want tickets or bread, and I shall continue to strive to de serve your patronage?
