itself by appointing reliable men in
each township to look after the en-
forcement not only of the liquor laws
but all other laws. These appoint
ments are to be confined to men who
heartily sympathize with the purposes
in view and who are willing to do their
best to secure the enforcement OF the
laws. 1t was decided also that the
public in sympathy with the move
ment would be asked to subscribe to
general fund to be used In the en-
forcement of the law. The members
of the committee started the fund
with subscriptions aggregating $31. 1t
was agreed that the county board OF
commissioners be asked to appoint
several special constables to look after
the enforcement Of the law and that
one be put to work in Kings Mountain
township at once. The committee
hopes to secure the active cooperation
of all law-abiding citizens OF the coun-
ty.
How to Catch Carp.
Mr.. Harry Wylie has developed into
quite a fisherman since he has been
connected with the Catawba Power
company. He does not fish great
deal because he Is kept too busy, but
by reason Of his association with the
people along the river he is on to all
the wrinkles. He was telling the re-
porter a day or two ago how easy II Is
to catch carp. "All you got to do"
said Mr.. Wylie, "is TO work some half
cooked corn bread into little ball OF
cotton and put 1t on your hook, leav-
ing the barb concealed In a small wad,
with the point nearly through. Then
go 10 fishing. You must use cork.
The carp Is a nibbler, or rather
sucker. He will keep your cork bob
biag gently without pulling 1t under.
You must hook him with a very easy
jerk. Don't try to throw him over your
head a half mile back In the bottoms;
but Jus: give a slight quick pull, and
you've got him. Then you can play
him or leave him alone as you like, for
he can't get away. 1t Is no trouble to
catch carp in this way and no reason
able limit to the number that can be
caught with a little patience. Carp
fishing is fine up on the river"
How Mayor Roddey Does It.
Charlotte Observer, Thursday: Mr..
William Henry Harrison Wylie OF
Rock Hill, S. c., was a visitor In the
city yesterday being accompanied by
his bright little daughter, Miss Jean.
Mr.. Wylie Is a citizen of Charlotte 8
hustling little South Carolina neigh
Dor, who does his part toward making
the town fairly hum with progress.
He is one of the officials of the Cataw-
ba Power company. Mr.. Wylie was
telling. yesterday of novel expert
ment being made by Mayor John I.
Roddey of Rock Hill. When defend
ants come before him for selling IL
auor, scrapping, ETC., he gives them
the full limit of the law, but gives
them three options, pay fine OF 500,
go to the gang on the county roads Tor
thirty days, or work in the streets or
the city for thirty days. Those who
choose the last option are allowed to
stay at home nights and work on the
streets Just as hired hands do. Need
less to say the majority Of the de-
PENDANTS choose this op:ion and quite
a number Of free convicts are working
on the streets Of the city. So far none
of them have shown any disposition
to take advantage Of their freedom
and escape their sentence. They rath-
er regard 1t as joke and work the
term out.
Cattle From North Carolina.
Two punches Of cattle, one bunch
including more than a hundred, ana
the other including more than TWO
hundred and the two together, aggre-
eating three hundred and sixty-four
were a subject of interest to the peo-
pie along the public highway between
Gastonia and Rock Hill last Tuesday.
Both punches were made up OF fine
dehorned steers from Ashe and Yam
cey counties, in North Carolina, and
they were being driven to Rock Hill TO
be delivered to Mr.. ]. M. Cherry, Capt.
w. l.. Roddey and other gentlemen
who had purchased them from their
owners. The drive from Ashe and
Yancey counties to Rock Hill consum-
ed eight days, and people who saw the
cattle passing along the Rock Hill and
Armstrong Ford road noted that they
were pretty we'll worn out. The fore
most bunch was stopped at Allison
creek for two hours or such a matter
in order to give the steers an opportu-
nifty to get water and browse among
the canes. Many Of them lay down to
rest; but when leaving time came,
with the assistance Of two or three
collie dogs, all were easily rounded out
and put on the road again. People
who had occasion to pass the herds on
the road, comment on the facility with
which the cattle divided to either side
of the road to make an opening. Tne
cattle were brought to Rock Hill FOR
beef.
