Is it just and right in the sight of
God that men should cheat, swindle,
defraud and lie q poor, afflicted or

you can swindle and lie poor orphan

why should others, whose characters

that you swindled me out of. Is it
right in the sight of God? The Bible
says examine yourselves, and he
that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to

AUTOISTS INDICTED
That Murfreesboro Affair Brought on
the Carpet Again.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn, Oct. 20
The grand jury has. found indictments
against T. w. Prichett, Norman Hill
and P. A. Shelton, Jr., all of Nash
vile, charging each with unlawfnlly
driving an automobile upon the high
way of Rutherford County without dis
playing conspicuous number at both
front and rear of such automobile, the
number. of such automobile plainly
set out upon durable plate of dimen-
sions provided by law.
These indictments grew out of a
trip made to this county by these par
ties last August, during the fair. They
were arrested by Sheriff Primm, and
pleaded guilty before z, T. Dismukes,
a Justice of the Peace, and were fined
$3.50 and costs. 1t turned out that
Squire Dismukes did not assess the
fine of $25, as the law provided, and
he therefore requested Messrs. Hill,
Shelton and Prichett to pay the bal
ance of the fine, $3.50, or he would
turn the matter to the grand jury.
They meyer paid the balance, hence
the indictments, with z. T. Dismukes
marked as prosecutor on each of them.
