BOOK AGENT In LIMBO
CHARGED WITH OBTAINING MON.
EY FROM A NEGRO
Under Certain Agreement Which
He Fails to Stick up To, and is
Placed Under Arrest.
He Fails

Branchville, Oct. 10. -SL ecial:
Considerable interest Is being taken
in a case that was commenced yes.
terday afternoon in the Court of Mag
istrate A. s. Dukes, of this place, in
which a warrant was sworn out by
Perry Roach, charging F. A. Rober-
son and j. H. Gum with having OBJ
tanned money from him to the
amount Of $3.45 by making false
representation. 1t seems from what
can be learned in reference to the
matter that these men who were
arrested are representing book
house Of Charlotte, N. c., the firm
name OF which Is c. H. Robertson &
Co.
1t appears that this book company
sends good shrewd talking men
around over'the country every spring
and they do their business for the
most part with the ignorant negroes
of the community in which they op-
crate, and in this instance they ca'lsd
at the house of respectable negrt
of this town and he icing away they
found 1t quite easy to sell book to
the wife Of this man for abort $3.50
the book being worth about 80 cents
to So. They took this woman's note
and mortgage for the $3.50 for the
book, payable this fall, and on yes
terday the agents of this firm were
around to make the collection.
The husband of this woman had
long since decided to not pay the
amount charged for this book. bit
was willing (he being negro OF
good reputation) to meet them half
way in the matter. He saw the
agents and told them how they were
trying to swindle him and that he
had told them not to go to his house
in his absence and ne told them
that he would pay them half of the
amount that they claimed against
his wife If they would settle the mat
ter. in that way.
One of the men says that he re-
piled to Roach in these words, "All
right" Thereupon Roach paid the
man S3.45, expecting to get his pa
pers and after he paid this amount
instead of the agent giving him his
papers he pushed the note and bill
of sale that the company had taken
from the wife Of this man into his
grip and handed this man a receipt
for the amount paid and refused to
give up the papers and still refuses
to give them up.
Roach then decided that he had
not been treated right and went and
complained to the magistrate, with
the above result. The men were
arrested and bond was fixed for their
appearance in the magistrates court
here on Monday morning at IL
o'clock a. m. These book agents go
all over the country and do their
business with the ignorant people
mostly. They sell their books most
ly on time and take papers over al
most everything that the poor igno-
rant negroes have and it seems that
the time has corne when the strong
arm of the law should take a hand
in this matter and at least require
these agents to have county licenses,
before they carry on their get
rich-quick" business.

WHO HIT MIKE M'GAN'N7
AS in Tic Case Of Billy Patterson, No
body seems TO Know.

The puzzle Of; who hit Mike Nc
Gam ~ over which Asst. County Atty
Rogers played for couple OF hours
this morning was q good companion
to who hit Billy Patterson ~ and the
answer hasn't been found yet. Although
Nc Gam himself was willing to swear,
and did swear, that the answer vas
Martin Ward. even Judge Bowman
couldn't guess the riddle. although he
worked over it patiently The puzzle
started out with the statement OF NC
Gam that on Sunday night, Tune 9
while he was going home about lilo
O'Clock, he was stopped by Ward and
a man named Murphy on West Ten PIE,
between North and South Temple. N G
Gam and Ward had been good friends
for long time. and had never had
any trouble, while Murphy was q conf
+ nara tive stranger. Yet when the
three met, Ward had said to NIcGann.
mike rye been waiting for you q
while and now I've got you, anu em-
phasized his satisfaction by giving
Mccain a couple Of sn1ashtnE blows
with a black Jack. va AS Mctanll went
down into Sunderland he heard q
STAR far away voice that sounded IKE
Wards saying Ties gotta watch ana
chain yet. Get them because he Won't
need them any more, and the next ,,s,
thing he knew he was at hi > home Win
his wife attending to him, but he didn't
Know how he got there That was M g
Gann's story. but Ward under q we earl
some. but searching cross examination,
stuck to his story that the last time
lie had seen MEG. IN on that particular
sunday was at 4 O'Clock in the after
noon. and that he had gone to his room
and bed at 10 O'clock that night, over
$an hour before the assault took place,
and his story wasg cOrrobora ted by his
landlord THE witnesses all told a
STRAIGHTFORWARD story, were candid IN
their admissions and under cross ex-
Summation the only thing the
court could determine out Of all the
straightforward stories was that Nc
Gam had been struck, and Ward was
discharged.
