MAGISTRATE Charles Jones, who re-
sides at Swansboro has set = precedent
in keeping with the sentiment Of the
neighborhood.
1t seems that on Tuesday evening,
June 10Th. white girl, named Maud
Merritt came TO the house of Mrs. Mag
gle Randolph and abused her son Will
lie. calling him, "nigger. niger"
His mother called him in and finally
sent him TO get some water. She fol-
lowed him She continued her aggra-
waiting remarks and finally struck
him.
He told her il she did so again he
would knock her. The white brother
in-law, Palmer Barrett heard him and
told him he would have him arrested.
He did so aud Willie Randolph was
tried the next day.
Although it was proven that the
white girl struck him, and that he die
not touch her. Magistrate Jones fined
him IS and cost of court.
Mrs. Randolph had gotten out |
cross-warrant and she was made Il
pay the expense OF this.
This is a sample of Chesterfield jus
tice and the magistrate seemed t
have forgotten that section OF the Law
which he swore to support to recog
nize the civil and political equality Q
all men before the law.

the advantages of an export bounty IL

Tin Plate Workers WIN strike

Pittsburg. June ia strike in the
tin plate industry seems certain, and
the conference on the wage scale ar
ranged for this afternoon is not likely
to accomplish anything tending to
settlement, as both sides are firm and
assert that no concessions will be
made. There are 80 tin plate plants
in the United States. The total num-
Der Of skilled workmen employed In
the industry is 1927. of whom 375 are
nOn-union men. The number of cock
ers outside of tonnage men employed
at tin plate plants is 6.265. and a strike
for the new wage scale win throw
about 5000 people out of employment
