A BEER DEALER
BEN M'LENDON ALSO HELD
FOR TRIAL IN SUPERIOR
COURT-PCMDER CASE IS
POSTPONED.

Cases against two of those near
rested charged with selling whisky
were called in the municipal court
yesterday morning. In the case of

torney for the defendant, appeared and
made announcement that he was phys
ically unable to conduct the trial. and
requested that the case be postponed.
The mayor granted the request and
the case will come up next week.
Ben McLendOn, whose place was raid
ed a few night ago, some several
quarts of whisky and wine being Sc
cured, had his license revoked and
was bound over to the superior court
under a bond of $400. There was no
evidence introduced to show that Nc
Lendon had sold any whisky, but I'M
der the city law. IA near-beer license
can be revoked if whisky is found
in the place Of the owner Under this
ordinance McLendOn's license was re-
voked. Although there was no evi-
dence that the negro had sold any
whisky, the whisky itself was intro

found in his place Of business.
| One witness was offered in behaE
of McLendon, white man, who de-
clared that the whisky and wine was
his property, that he left it there and
intended calling for ii later. However,
this did not prevent the mayor from
/ taking away the license of the negro,
and the superior court at its January
session will try him for keeping whis-
