A pathetic scene occurred in the
mayor’s court yetserday morning. A
small boy. whose age was* give n as
fifteen, was before the mayor on a
well-worn charge of vagrancy. His
aged mother and grandmother were
present to plead in behalf of the boy.
This was not his first appearance be
fore the mayor it seems, and as he
had been released on previous occas
ions, with conditions attached, viz:
that he go to work, his honor was not
inclined to be easy. Finally, on prom-
is» of the mother to take the boy
away from Gaffney, sentence was sus
pended in the case, provided he is
not seen in Gaffney again. A white
man also appeared in behalf of his
son who is now a fugitive from jus-
| tice. on account of being wantea on
| the same charge—vagrancy. He was
notified that if the boy was work by
Monday the officers would not molest
the boy.
