Monday Was Big Day For the
Booze artists.
Monday was a record breaker in
the Recorders court. Over two pages
of the docket we're taken up with
charges against the Saturday night
and Sunday sinners.
E. C. Cooper and Jim Bristow,
both negroes, were up for carrying
concealed weapons, discharging pis-
tol on the streets and assault and
battery with intent to kill. Bristow
was dismissed while Cooper was
bound over to the April term Of court

fined SIS or 80 days.
joe Singleton, coiored, riding bicy-
Gle on sidewalks, fined 81.
Moses Minser, coiored, neglect to

case continued.
A negro named Nathan planned
clever scheme to secure a suit Of
clothes, but fell down in the effort to
forge the name Of Mr.. r. P. Stack
house, of Dillon, to the order. On
Saturday he selected a suit of clothes
at the D. ]. Chandler Clothing Co.'S
store, which was priced at 5000,
and stated to the clerk that he would
go and get an order from Mr.. Stack
house for the clothes. After a few
minutes he returned with an order
purporting to be from Mr.. Stack
house, but the writing of the order
was such as to arouse the suspicion
of the clerk, who sent for an officer
and had the negro detained awaiting
an investigation Of the matter. The
order proved to be a forgery and the
negro was brought into the Record
er's court for preliminary hearing
on Monday afternoon. At the time
an interesting case was in progress,
which attracted the attendtion Of all
present. After this trial Nathan was
missing. Also a bicycle belonging to
Mr.. L. r. Jennings was gone. 1t is
supposed that the negro slipped out
of the court room, took the bicycle
and made good his escape. The OFF,
GERS are on his trail and will doubt
less soon apprehend him.
