cessful affair and netted the daughters
a handsome sum. The main prize. for

Rock Hill as second. For the best
collection Of roses Miss Mary White
was the winner. Miss Lula Cation was

of po.ted plants. A handsome bride
doll which was put up at raffie ana
decided through the guessing OF her
lumber was won by Miss Mary Hope
Crawford, the little daughter Of Dr.
and Mrs. T. A. Crawford. An interest
ing incident In connection with the
little lady's winning was that she Sc
lected so as her guess at the doll
number. Mr.. William Mitchell bought
the next guess and selected 49 giving
his chance to the child. No. 49 was
was the winning number which fur
nished some one with the paradox

court Mayor Roddey put a fine of 500
or 80 days on the county chaingang,
upon Burris Archie and Jim Garrison,
after evidence showing a sale OF ~
cents worth by one and 10 cents by
the other. They took the days. w. b.

defense gave notice of appeal, baslne

ness Steve Burris, who had been fined
SIS for drunk and disorderly, was an
Interested party.
Constable Jenkins also secured a
conviction in Magistrate Beckhams
court in the case of Will Baker who
had liquor shipped here under the

the Jug and was seen by the constable

White. When the jug was taken from
him, he secured witnesses who

he suspected and he again seized the
