Federal decoration exercises here last
Saturday brought several train loads OF me-
groes to town, as well as those from the
country. There was an immense crowd -
q regular sea OF black faces. Most of them
regarded the occasion as holiday frolic.
A banner carried around by a negro boy
bore this strange device: "a big dance
at Rodger'' hall, day and night" Their
conception of memorial day of the dead,
seems to be at variance with its true OBJ
ject. One drunken negro man resisted ar.
rest and had lively .trssel with the mar

to have hit rock wall. h was finally
calaboosed. His name is Jasper Morris
and be is from Cherokee county. He was
fined $40 and cost in Mayors court, and
was subsequently re>arrested on state

encourage the establishment of new enters
prises and industries in our midst, in that
