Rev. W. ]. Mccoy, commissioner for
Emory University, is in Brownsville
this week. He made a brief state
ment of the cause he represents Sun
day morning to the few who were
present at the Methodist church. 1t
is well for all people to know the sit
uation in their church educationally.
Rev. Mccoy will take pleasure in stat
ing the purposes and plans of this
great Methodist University and Of his
connection with it to all who may be
interested. No doubt the membership
of the Brownsville church will do the
best they can for this important and
urgent cause.
There has been a good deal Of COM
plant recently, and justly so, BY the
city authorities because of the fire
alarm being turned in when there is no
justification for it. Because Chin
ney in a negro hut is burning out or
leaves on the sidewalk are afre is no
reason for turning in the fire alarm
Every time this alarm is turned in the
city is put to extra expense and trou-
Bile. When the fire alarm sounds the
steam pump is turned on for extra
pressure; the water mains being old,
causes numerous breaks and hence
added expense and trouble. Our peo-
pie should be careful, therefore, and
never give the fire alarm unless it is
known to be necessary.
W. M. McCarver, white man,
claiming Memphis as his home, was
arrested here last week by Marshal
Walker, charged with bootlegging. It
seems that McCarver was just passing
through Brownsville with an automo-
bile full of whiskey when forced to
stop at Harvey's garage for repairs.
1t was there that the officer caught
him. He had in his car seven or eight
suit cases filled with liquor. Of course
he had his story about driving the car
for someone else. but it wouldn't work
and when arraigned in the city court
Recorder Carlton found him guilty and
fined him $50 and costs and also bound
him over to the circuit court under
$3.50 bond. He succeeded in making
cash bond and was turned loose.
