FRIGHTENS WOMEN AND GIRLS
Unknown ImpOster Inviting Dire Per-
sonaI Disaster by UncaIled
seSa For Actions

Persistent and annoying reappear-
ances of a man in the eastern part OF
the city. who seems to take delight in
soaring women and girls on their way
to and from town in the evenings, has
placed the men of that section on
edge so far as their tempers are con-
cerned and should the impostor ever
appear at the right time disasterous
results to his personal contour are
possible.
The annoyances have occurred re-
peatedly during the past summer, and
the occasions of the impostor's ap-
pearance have become more frequent
of late. On one occasion, it is report
ed reliably, he jumped out from be-
hind a bush and grabbed at young
woman who succeeded in outdistanc-
ing him and getting to safety. He
seems to pick out particular person
and lay for them while they are on
their way about the city.
Sometimes he hides himself in trees
and yells at children as they pass
beneath. Several times he has chased
little girls.
The matter has reached point
where something desperate is liable
to happen Several crack shots re-
side in the community and all keep
revolvers and shotguns, and are
just crazy enough to shoot at any
body who acts as this fellow does.

Consignee Doesn't
Haze TO ChdperOne
His Liquor Package


1t is not necessary Cor the consignee
of a legal amount of whiskey or beer,
signed for at the express or freight
office, to personally carry the package
in question to his or her home. On
the contrary drayman, transfer
man, or any other authorized person
may act as the carrier, once the pack
age is receipted for by the person to
whom it is addressed.
This is the opinion of City Attorney
d. e. Sullivan, as submitted to Mayor
Batson and Chief of Police Bennett,
by which they will be governed in the
future.
Some justice of the peace in Missis-
sippi recently ruled that a person
other than the one to whom the pack
age of intoxicants is addressed, who
carries the same away from the ex-
press or freight office, is acting as an
agent, and may be convicted as such.
Mr.. Sullivan declares that such a rul-
ing is illegal, and never would be en-
dorsed byN higher court. Conse-
quently, when Ben Num-, charged with
"acting as an agent" by carrying a
quart of whiskey from the Southern
Express Company's offices to his home
for his wife, was called in Police
Court today, the case was dismissed.

MAYOR coNvlcTs WILL MORAY
FOR HAVING AN ILLEGAL
AMOUNT OF WHisKEY.

VIII McCray, cream mixer in the
soft drink department OF the Owl Drug
store, was fined $1OO and costs in
Mayor Batson's court today, on
charge of having an illegal amount 0.
whiskey in his possession.
Through his attorney, George w.
Currie, Of Currie & Smith, an appeal
was Immediately taken.
The McCray case promises to pro-
vide lot of interesting points before
it is finally disposed Of.
The negro was arrested last week
on charge of having an illegal
amount of whiskey in his possession.
He had gone to the offices of the
Southern Express Company, signed
for package labeled "32 bottles Of
beer; not more than gallons" and
was told that there were As cents
charges on it. He left the office, and
before his return, was placed under
arrest by Policeman Tom Moore, of
the local department.
An examination of the package
showed that instead Of beer, it con-
tanned IL bottles of high grade whis-
key. McCray insisted that he had or
dered 32 bottles of beer. and that the
whiskey did not belong to him, as he
did not order it.
In police court, Mr.. Currie insisted
that even had the man ordered the
whiskey, it could not be considered in
his possession. as it never had been
delivered to him, because he had failed
to pay the As cents charges on it. ]. J
West, local agent of the company
stated that the charges had not beer
paid.
