A PECULIAR CASE.

One of the County Convict Guards
Kept a Colored Mans Money.
John Mack Johnson was one of the
darkies sent to the county roads for
being connected with the riot here
two years ago,
John claims that when he went to
work he had S16 which guard named
Crutchf1eld took from him. When
Mack's time was out the guard was
gone. John employed Mr.. ]. S. Gro
gan to bring suit against the county
for his money.
The case was first tried before JUS
tice Lehman who decided that the
county was not liable. Appeal was ia
ken to the Superior Court and Judge
Starbuck sustained Justice Lehman
decision. Mr.. Grogan says he will take
the case to the Supreme Court.
johnson thinks he has been treated
badly and he promises to make it
lively for somebody If he does not get
his money.

ROBERTS, SPLENDID RECORD.
Brought Down His Game at Every
Shot-Another Meet.

Brought Down His Game at Every
Shot-Another Meet.
At the second meet of the Slick Hill
Gun Club, held Saturday afternoon,
Mr.. f. NJ. Roberts bore off the laurels
by killing nine birds in nine shots.
Mr. E. 81. Davenport came out close
second with eight birds in ten shots.
The method practiced by the Club
is to take bird from coop and turn
it loose, the sportsman, whose skill
is being tried, firing at it as it flies
away. Mr.. Roberts didn't miss a
single shot.
At the close of Saturdays contest
the score stood as follows:
+ M Roberts, shots, q birds.
E HI Davenport, 10 shots, s birds.
L A Vaughn, shots, birds.
r E Dalton. 8 shots, 6 birds.
j d King, shots, birds.
w P Hill, 8shots, 2 birds.
The club will meet again this week
and the clubmen people propose that
this shall surpass any meet heretofore
held. One hundred and fifty birds
will be turned loose on this occasion
If this thing continues throughout
the season the Twin-City can doubt
less boast of several more especially
crack shots.
The trophies of Mr.. Roberts skill
were sent with his compliments to
the editor Of THE SENTINEL, who
makes his best bow in acknowledge
ment thereof. They were fine birds
and made palatable dish.
