IN TIE MAYORS COURT.
A Jealous Negro Throws Snuff in His
Sweetheart's Face.

Jealousy was the cause of a big row
at Hatte's Pages restaurant on Martin
street Saturday night.
The dramatiS personae were Hattie
Page, Wilkes Donaldson and john
Smith.
Hattie and Wilkes have been keeping
company" for long time. They are not
married, but one of the witnesses said
they were "as good as"
About six weeks ago John Smith came
here from Norfolk, and it was about him
that the row Saturday night arose.
Now, John boards at Hattie's and he
is younger than Wilkes and much better
looking. So it was burt natural that
Hattie should develop a fondness for
him. and look lovingly at him when she
didn't think Wilkes was observing her.
But Wilkes was observing, and over this
estrangement of the affection that had
once been undoubtedly his, they had
two or three preliminary skirmishes. And
Saturday night the crisis came. 1t was
precipitated, Wilkes said, and nobody
denied it, by Hattie asking him to 'lend
her a quarter to git her some fresh
ments for her boa'ders."
He let her have the money but abused
her and twitted her on her John Smith
Irritation in Johns presence. This was
too much for Hattie; she flew into pas
sion, so Wilkes pushed her to the wall,
took her by the throat, and filled her
face full of snuff and ran out. AS he
ran she threw a chair at him and broke
the lamp chimney and two cups. A
second chair followed his fleeing form
into the street, but did not overtake him.
All danger being past John Smith
rose up to defend the woman, cursed
loudly, dared Wilkes back and made
night hideous generally for sometime. For
this the Mayor fined him 1926. AS to
Hattie and Wilkes their former good
reputation and the fact that it seemed to
be only lovers quarrel saved them.
They were dismissed with warming.
Two coal black boot-blacks We're also
in trouble. They were Joseph Avery
and Alphonso Trice. A man came along
Sunday; both solicited the privilege of
giving him shine" Alphonso got it.
Thereupon Joseph called Alphonso a
monkey A beer bottle was near at hand,
and Alphonso proceeded to use it with
telling effect upon Joseph's kinky cram
ium. Alphonso's mother went to the
station house yesterday and gave the boy
a fiogging and he was released.
The last unfortunate of the lot was
Louis Rayford. He was an excursionist.
He got on the train at Princeton and got
very drunk before reaching Raleigh. He
spent the day in the station house, but
was released yesterday afternoon in time
to take his train back home.
.'I've worked from Ferginny to
Fluridy," he explained as he left the
station house. IAN | haint never been
captured by a p'licemun afore.

An Evening Spent by the Convicts in
Music and Dancing.
One of the new guards at the peniten-
tiary, Buck Tanner, went to sleep on his
post of duty recently. One of the prison
ers reported it to the office, and Gov.
Russelll's brother Slated to be warden)
went ON the stockade, brought the mans
gun down without Tanners knowledge.
This is not the first time new guards
have been found asleep at their post. 1t
is said to be almost a daily occurrence
on the Caledonia farm, where only negro
guards are employed.
One night hast week the employees of
the State penitentiary had gay time
at dance held in the administration
building / tell you, the new folks are
having a gay time. All the balls and
chains have been taken off and thrown
into the trash pile. 1t makes the dancing
pleasanter this hot weather.
Seven prisoners escaped from Castle
Hayne penitentiary farm last week. 1t
seems from this that Gov. Russelps par
don mill is not grinding as fast as some
of them would like it to do.
