CROWELL HAS BUSY DAY
Five Men Tried on Charge Of 1ntox-
ication and Disorderly Conduct
q This Morning.
ALL ARE BROKE BUT ONE

Five men were tried before Judge
Crowell this morning on a charge
of intoxication. George Bean, who
was arrested yesterday afternoon by
Chief Lane, was fined five dollars or
ten days in the county JAIL. Bean
had a large roll which he had placed
in the hands Of local business man
for safe keeping. The money was re-
covered and Bean paid his fine.
Charles Trelford was tried on the
same charge and was given the same
sentence. Bean came to the Trelford's
assistance and paid his fine as the de-
PENDANT had only a. few cents upon
his person when arrested. r.
II Sam Paterson, who was tried yes
terday for being drunk and who
promised to leave the city providing
his sentence was suspended was
hailed before the judge on the same
charge. He was picked up last eve
ming after falling off the sidewalk
opposite the Brinkman Theatre and
severity bruised his head. He was
given "a hours in the City Jail which
was believed sufficient time for him
to sober up after which he will be
forced to leave the city. -.....
Robert Edger, was tried on a
charge Of disorderly conduct and in
toxication. but sentence was suspend
ed in his case as his financial CON
dition was considered rather en-
barassing and as he promised to
leave the city and go to work the
Judge believed that no further trou-
bile would be caused if he was re-
leased. i.
George Thomas, property L cents,
was tried on a similar charge and or
dered to leave the city at his earliest
convenience. Jesse Cottle was given
the same sentence-on the same charge
Chief Lane stated this morning
that, he believed that the police
force would be kept busy for few
weeks now as the harvest hands are
returning to this section of the state
with large rolls, which they on spend
ing before hiring out to lumber camps.
Many loun gers are seen on the streets
every day and these men are consid-
cred worse than the working men
who come here to spend their money.
The loungers become close friends Of
the men who have large stakes and
after assisting them in becoming in
toxicating relieve them of their
money. Usually the man who has
been touched" is so intoxicated at
the time his money is taken from him
that he is unable to give a definite
story which would aid in .convicting
the guilty man.
The local police have been instruct
ed by the Chief not to hesitate to
invite there's loungers to move on and
if their story is at all doubtful, to
usher them to the city limits and in
struct them to keep going.

The board of trustees of the agri-
cultural high school adjourned Mon
day night to meet again next Mon
day night in mutual conference with
the supervisors who will be on hand
that day to attend circuit court and
~ho will go into special session for
the purpose of considering the adj
visibility of issueing more bonds in
order that the agricultural high
school may be built per the, plans
dopted, the bids seemingly having
shown that such plans call for more
money than is available, all of which
will be discussed and gone into more
fully on that day by these two boards.
We like the attitude of supervisor J.
II. Turner. that those buildings
should be built throughout of brick,
as such an institution should stand
for all time in county like Greene
where farming is to be the chief in
dustry and even If things were to
change some way to indicate the
teaching largely of other Industries,
they could be converted to accommo-
date such other vocational training;
Industrial education varied to suit
the section being after all the ideal
kind of education.

The editor will be very much dis
appointed if this circuit court con-
vening next week does not yield US
nice harvest of subscription mon
les, and we hardly think our friends
will fail us. but let it be said that
particularly at this time do we need
the funds as we are endeavoring to
conduct the Herald on a strictly
cash basis neither asking nor ex-
pecting to give credit, only in ex-
ceptional or unavoidable cases both
ways. That is our ideal and we hope
to attain nearer and nearer onto
living up to that policy If our pat
rons will continue to cooperative to
that end Speaking of subscription
paying at circuit courts, were
well pleased with the history writ
ten in this line from the last several
courts and are sangulne this will
prove no exception but still better
season of such. for which we thank
thoughtful and obliging subscribers
in advance.

Circuit court cases of special inter-
est on docket: the John Byrd arson
case with E. w. IRELAND as attorney
for defendant; the Newell seduc-
ton case with Fl. P. Heidelberg for
the defense and damage suit of Bar
ney Pierce VS.. D. r. Williams with
BreIsnd for plaintiff and Heidelberg
for the defendant. Besides this
there are several appeal cases from
the Justice courts and more bills
found by last grand jury than the
several last preceding, so it's likely
to be livelier court than we have
had IN a number of terms.
