A novel way of rounding W skin"
artists has been invented by Moss
Hayes, plainclothes man Of the local
police force, according to a dispatch
of Tuesday from Spartanburg. This
morning after having had some us-
picion as regards a certain house, in
a negro section, Hayes, in the guise
of a potato peddler. sailed forth to
begin his search. Wearing a big flop
ping hat, such as ordinary farmers
wear, and carrying a pail Of potatoes,
he entered a house which he suspect
ed. When he entered the dusky
"skinners" made an effort to hide
themselves or conceal their occupa-

peddler surprised them by saying,

the spell was broken and the blacks
knew what was up. Three bolted and
were successful in making themselves
scarce. The officer invited the other
five to wait a few minutes, however,
until he could order a "jitney bus"

that could be received by an individ-
ual for lawful purposes could not be
limited" The Webb-Kenyon law does
not give the state the right to limit
the quantity received when it is for
lawful purposes, but says: THAT whis-
