Keep Out Of Court.

It is an every day occurrence to
find droves of eolored people in the
various courts. 1t is surprising how
many of our intelligent people al
low themselves to be drawn into
brawls. Little differences that
might be settled at home or by call
ing council of neighbors, are often
rushed off to the court, lawyer
secured and, of course, in the city
courts and the Justices courts a
Judgment is always allowed. There
is not a citizen in Nashville living
in civil life who knows how many
deputy sheriffs are in this city. They
outnumber the police way yonder,
and we venture the assertion that
they even outnumber the sub-poliee
or street car conductors.
Many of our people allow little
bills TO run on and on until their
creditors are compelled to put it into
the hands of some collecting agen-
CIV (which is nothing more than a
Justices COURT, and deputy sheriff
is soon on their trail The bill may
not be over $500, but when the cost
Of the court and the deputy sherif's
fees are counted in, the bill will
amount to $500 or 500. The two
{ dollars, OF a part of it, goes to the
creditor, and small per cent to the
court, but the fees go to the court
and deputy sheriff. SO instead Of
paying out two dollars they often
pay out six or seven. lose time from
their work, and are Inundated be
yond expression.
The way to prevent this is to pay
our little debts and keep out OF the
courts. 1t is an expensive PROPOSE
ton to feed and support deputy
sheriffs, andif our people will learn
or will take time to stop long enough
to see what they are doing, they viii
be more careful, and thousands anc
thousands of dollars that they pay
annually to support an army OF hun
CRY deputy sheriffs, they will spenC
