BRINGS COMPLAINT
AGAINST MAGISTRATE

On the affidavit of Mr.. j. II. Hester,
the Peace Separk late last evening is
sued two warrants for the arrest of
Latney Hall, a negro. One is for car
rying a concealed weapon and the
other for assault with a deadly weapon
Mr.. Hester stated that the negro, who
was working for him, said he was go
ing to quit because his employer was
a prohibitionist, whereupon Mr.. Hester
told him that he would be a prohibit
ZIONIST as long as he lived and intend
ed to vote for the measure. With this,
the negro became angered and flour
ished a pistol in front of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hester, and snapped the gun number
of times, frightning Mrs. Hester, who
Is in a delicate condition.
Mr.. Hester said that he tried to get
Magistrate N. r. Pool, Of st. Mat
thews to issue the warrants, but he de-
clined on the ground that he had no
blank warrants. The negro followed
Mr.. Hester to the magistrates office
and, according to Mr.. Hester, again
fiourished the weapon in the presence
of the magistrate. No warrant was is
sued for Hall at that time.
Mr.. Separks issued the warrants last
evening and a search for the negro has
revealed the fact that he has left the
country. It is not known why the st.
Matthews official refused to draw up
the warrants.
