TO tue civil uOckeb. only one CdSS
tried Saturday under the small offence
law of the nature of assault and bat
tery. A gang of women engaged in
an all around pitched battle on the
side of the mountain Result of the
stampede was they cut one another's
heads up very badly. j. W. Morrison
was the only attorney engaged. They
received small fines by Harris court,
and went away well pleased with the
penalty.
There are few more parties, so the
report goes its rounds this week, who
have received notices from the hands
of the Night Rider League. A few of
the so-called prominent people that
had stepped aside from the paths of
Righteousness, got notice to cut out
their immoral conduct at once and call
at the mines and receive job. An
other young man living South of
town, had to be cited before he would
obey orders The report is he was
promptly taken out and plowed to
double shovel half hour in cookie
burr patch. The shortest way to the
mines next day was too long for him.
He said work was what he wanted.
There was a coal tarring case reported
having occurred in South Town, but |
doubt the truth of that statement, al
though | can't say it's all done and
L., OLE htrf M h
ers in position to know, say there's
one thing beyond a shadow of doubt
that loafers and numbers of other
characters are crowding the mines, SO
much that they fear it will cause re-
duction in wages and cut in the
number of days down to two or three
days a week this summer. If this is
so, we regret it for that would mean
hard times to all. We can't tell yet
what will be the result.
1t seems that things are changed
around considerable by the new SUI
perintendent. | believe he is fine
little fellow and on to his job. He has
cut the doctors salaries down, so it is
reported, from 81 90 for married men
to roc; single men cut to nothing.
This move may not suit some of the
doctors, but you must take your med
icine according to directions. Shake
well before taking is the old American
receipt as laid down in the materia
medica.
The night rider movement, it seems
TO certain extent is blocking the
courts out Of their official work, and
will bring about cut in the j. P.
Courts, and the attorneys salaries. l
don't like that part of the procedure,
but like the doctors, have to take med
icine according to directions.
Dunlap and Whitwell j. P. Courts
have suspended all hog law suits that
may hereafter arise until next fall nm
til the acorns fall on account of the
high price of bacon and the scarcity
and shortage of hogs on Cumberland
Mountain.
The iron bridge in the Third Dis
trict is now down all except little to
be finished at each end, aud you can
pass over it to Whitwell.
The measles have about disappeared
from our locality. DIR. P. G. Gray
sons family and grandchildren are all
up again. They want their children
at Charleson to know they are now out
of danger.
l want the Charleston correspondent
to write up the news from that point
There were some of our legal frater-
nifty out fishing on Sunday. l guess
they belong to that orthodox creed
that keeps Saturday instead of Sunday,
although we don't think little fish
ing on Sunday for home consumption,
if it isn't done so much that it be
comes public nuisance is high
grade misdemeanor
DR.. N B. Moore made his appear
ance at the company mill Friday and
we caught him sending out some kind

would spin out go yards on the water
and now and then he would land a
