tor of Main Street Methodist church.
Capt. Wells died Tuesday, aged 6l
years, and is survived by his widow,

and Mr. J. F. Ware of Charlotte, at
tended the funeral. .... In the police
court this morning. Thomas Faris,
colored driver for the Gastonia Livery
was up on two charges. For
reckless driving on Main avenue, he
was given a fine of IS or twenty days
on the roads. The other charge was
a more serious one, namely, that while
the speaking was going on at the
square last night Faris. who was pref
ty drunk, drove around the edge Of
the crowd and spoke to several white
ladies, offering to take them anywhere
in the city in his hack for twenty-five
cents. For this offense he was given
d fine of $47.5O or thirty days on the
roads. Being unable to pay the fines
imposed, Faris will probably be en-
gagged for the next fifty days in i'm
proving the public highways of the
county.
