ROUND UP OF COCAINE yENnERs
Sherim Owings and Other Officers Ar
rested Three Negroes I'm Clinton for
Transporting Cocaine.

SOthiHts
Three negroes have been lodged i'm
the county Jail by Sheriff Owings on
the charge of transporting cocaine,
they having been arrested In Clinton
after a systematic plan had been car
ried out by the sheriff, Deputy Reid
and Chief Mason of Clinton, to entrap
them in the ncfarioug traffic. The ne
groes arrested were Arthur Gary,
Robert Hill and Nathan Williams.
The arrests were made after the ne
groes had taken several shipments of
cocaine from the post Office The sher-
iff' Office got wind of the expected
shipment and laid nets to catch the
consignees. Plans worked out as ex-
pected and the negroes were caught
with the goods on them They had
in their possession enough OF the dope
to XIII quite number of people.
The shipment of cocaine through the
mails for illegal use is prohibited by
federal laws and this violation has
been reported to the postal authorities
and 1T is probable that the shippers
VIII be caught in the net spread for
the consignees. No warrant has as
yet been issued for them, but the
post office department is expected to
take some action in the matter.

the success OF the county fair depends

sidcred in the light OF a burden. OF
profting from the lessons taught there.
1t can not be repeated too often that
the county fair, such as is to be
held here, is intended as an educa-
tonal institution for the Immediate
benefit Of the farmers and the ultimate
benefit OF us all and that the amuse-
ment idea has no place in the minds
of the managers. course the pco-

come anticipating a side-show cXhibi-

COCAINE USE.

The arrest by the Shcriff's office of
three men charged with transporting
cocaine should prove the opening of a
determined campaign to stop the traf-
flee in this dangerous drug. 1t will
be remembered that about a year ago
n contributor to The Advertiser charg-
ed that the sale Of this drug was grow
ing by leaps and bounds and that the
negroes in large numbers were becom-
ing addicted to its use. Recent in
stance OF hcinouS crimes in several
states committed by negroes under
the influence OF the drug show that
the use OF ii is confined to no special
locality but that it is becoming com
mon in every section. The injurious
effects OF the drug are so pronounced
and of such dangerous character. both
to the user himself and to those with
whom he comes in contact that strin-
gent efforts should be put forth to
stop the sale OF it, Possibly the use Of
1t is no more prevalent i'm Laurcns
county than elsewhere, but Judging
from reports cocaine is getting a
strong fOothold here.

Mr.. Balm EXPLAINS.

In regard to the article print
ed in the Drewsey News of Dec.
18th. have this to say, that
Mr.. Baker the publisher of that
paper, did not get correct in
formation regarding the Courts
actions, or else he did not print
it as he should have done.
1t was a surprise to me to hear
that / had any thing against the
Drewsey people, and was taking
my spite out on them by making
them pay a double tax. claim
the deal was fair one. The
reason for reconsidering our first
decision was. that the court was
not all present at the firsf de-
cision. Therefore l asked the
Judge to reconsider our fMst de-
cision, and call a full coust which
he did, and the result was that
the Hartman and the Dpewsey
applications, to be set aside as
Union and District High Schools
were not allowed.
Our contention was that the
two schools ask for were inefii-
cient and wese' not equal to the
county high school which the law
calls for them to be in all re-
spects. There is only one teach
er hired in each of the proposed
schools.
If Mr.. Grant Thompson re-
marked while in Drewsey, that
| was the man that asked to have
our first decision reconsidered he
stated facts. But l denie the
charge that took "a turn around
Burns" before asking to have
our first decision reconsidered or
at any other time, for the pur-
pose Mr.. Baker would have the
people believe. l have no place
to build up. nor have / any place
to throw down at the expense of
the tax payers of the county, if
| know it.
The Drewsey High School
board has never invited the
boundry board to visit. and in
spect their high school, for the
purpose of knowing its efficiency,
and the purpose the application
called for, to the best Of my
knowledge. AS TO being too far
away to get any ''benift from
their tax money!" that is q wrong
impression to place before the
people.
THOS. Balm.
