PLANTER VICT1MIzED Our OF $500 =
A planter from Hardemau county, Mr..
William A. Moore, who had sold his
cotton in the city for 1920, was met at
the Charleston depot, yesterday evening,
by man who entered into conversation
with him, and claimed to be acquainted
with several of Mr.. Moore's neighbors.
Soon afterward the two started toward
the city to obtain something to eat. On
the way another man came up, who
informed Mr.. Moore's friend that
"all the goods but one wagon load had
just been delivered at the depot,
but that $500 must be paid on the
last load. Friend" didn't know what
to do had a check for $ll70 on Desoto
bank, but it was after hours By the way,
would Mr. Moore advance $500 on the
check -? Mr.. Moore did so with pleasure,
and then, at friends" request, watched
" friends " trunks until the latter could
settle his business OF course the check
was bogus; but before Mr.. Moore could
realize the fact the sharpers we're beyond
reach This game was thought exploded
many years ago, and newspapers have
a thousand times exposed it; but to no
purpose, it seems.

sooner had the announcement been made
of the re.psssage of the common car
rier" law than Memphis darkies sought
to avail themselves of its privileges
The well known Bob Church and a
barber named Sam Ireland yesterday
afternoon went aboard of car No. 81 as
passengers. The conductor, Mr.. Tom
More, told them the car was reserved foF
white people. They insisted on entering,
and were elected from the platform.
Church aud Ireland then procured the
arrest Of the conductor on the charge Of
assault and the case will be tried this
afternoon. According TO the Law, as
published by US yesterday, the conductor
is liable to a fine Of $50 for making any
distinctions relative to color.
