HOG STEALING CASE Eel IPsED
Americas Negro Served In Pen to
Save Friend.

The story of the two George Har-
veys published in yesterdays Times
Recorder, wherein 3 negro by that
name was put in Jail upon the charge
Of hog stealing and was released By
the appearance of another negro, the
one really wanted and possessing the
same name, is already discounted.
Policeman ". D Smith, who has been
on the force for years, recalls a story
wherein he arrested one Sol Davis, for
assault with intent to murder The
evidence against Davis seemed con-
elusive, and he was convicted. Later
another darkey came up and confessed
that he and not Davis was guilty of
the crime for which Davis was about
to suffer, DAVIS was turned loose,
and the modern Pythiag who thus
opened the Jail doors for him was sent
mp for twelve years.

for grammar pulls us in one direction; our
desire to maintain the comfy of nations
inclines us to the other side. II is no use
for few of us to be pedantic in the face

the plural verb is used, it is only used in
speaking of the states as a group of fed.
Grated communities, and not as a nation.
