State Constable J. D. Alsbrook has
been at work recently twisting the
blind tigers tail in this town. This OF
icer had reason to suspect the Illicit
sale of whiskey, and by employing q
couple of decoys, giving them each q
quarter to make the purchases, he sue
ceeded in getting two half pints OF corr
whiskey, and with this evidence ne hao
warrants issued for Jake Plowden and
Ed Rhodes. The latter, who is en-
ployed at the dispensary, was tried last
Saturday, but the jury failed to agree
and a mistrial resulted. On Monday
Jake Plowden's case was called and,
after many hours of hearing the evl'
dence, the jury found Jake guilty.

In referring to the Conference that
assemblies here this evening, we
should have stated that it is the An
nul instead OF the "District' confer:
ence. Bishop Gaines will preside, and
among the visitors will be number OF
distinguished colored ministers and
educators. We understand that there
is probability of the famous Booker

ming the banner conference town, and
it is indeed brave task the members
of the local church undertook to enter
tain an annual conference. That they
will succeed we haven't the slightest
doubt, because in their pastor they have
a man whose walk in life has won for
him the esteem of his membership and
the good will of the community. He IS
energetic and tireless, and we venture
the prediction that his work will re-
ceive the high approval Of his Bishop.
Ever since the institution OF Sunday

on Black River taking a ride on the
water. and as a punishment Johnnie

nests, rob orchards, 60 in swimming,

break the Sabbath. What happened
last Sunday will happen every Sunday
to all who will not keep the Sabbath
holy. Let it be remembered that every
time Johnnie goes boating on Sunday
he is Breedin' punishment in the shape
of ducking or something else.
Rev. P. B. Wells left yesterday morn
ing to attend the annual conference
which convenes in Columbia. Mr.
Wells left with joyous heart, for he
carries with him the best report he ha:
ever carried to conference and he is as
proud OF it as a little boy with new
toy. We do not know what the confer
ence will do with Mr.. Wells, but if i
will consult the wishes of this congre
