He sighed because II was his fate
To earn the blessings he received:
Because he was compelled to wait
For opportunities he grieved.
He mourned because he could not claim
A certain lady for his own;
He sadly sighed because his name
In many quarters was unkn9wn.
He thought his fate was hard to bear
Because he seldom got a rest;
When he began to lose his hair
A bitter sadness filled his breast.
But when he lost his appetite
And when good health was his no more
lie sadly wondered day and night
why he had ever grleved before.

COURT FINDS WHISKEY TRAFFIC
HEAVY IN CAROLINE COUNTY

Revelations at this term of the Circuit
Court for Caroline County, Maryland,
the second week of the session of which
began at Denton on Monday last, show
that this has probably been the wettest
section of dry" territory on the Mary
land and Delaware Peninsula for several
months. At the express and freight Of
fees in Denton and nearby towns more
than 1000 gallons of whiskey have been
receipted for by negroes whose indus
trial activities would not have enabled
them to buy that much in several years.
Testimony in court indicated that the
LIQUOR was sold in pints and half-pints
by a few dealers, the chief of whom.
Walter Austin. pleaded guilty in the
first case of illegal selling taken up.
Sentence was suspended because Of his
physical condition. The local statute
provides but one penalty-imprisonment
in the House of Correction and the parole
was recommended by States Attorney
Owens. The grand jury has indicted
Austin in another case. and the authOri-
ties are looking for him. Two negroes.
convicted of selling liquor. have been sent
bv the court to the House of Correction
for three wears and two others for one

from Baltimore went to Denton and

caused a sensation among the negroes.
Judges Atkins and Hopper stated from
the bench that the local option law stands
in a class by itself in criminal jurispru-
dence that the court did not recognize
any technical violations of it, and could
not receive pleas for leniency because
of extenuating circumstances. as in
other offenses. Convictions under the
statute. in their opinion, were for actual
for the reason that offenders I
could only be regarded as having brazenly
and defiantly trespassed against the law
and against public sentiment and NOR
ality. for the mercenary purpose OF
by illegitimate means.
