ANOTHER
ROBBERY

BED EARLY MONDAY MORN
ING BY NEGROES
THIS is THIRD STORE BROKEN
INTO in MARIV1LLE AND
ALCOA RECENTLY

The store of j. o. Law in Alcoa
was broken into early Monday morn
ing, and merchandise to the value of
about $3.50. was recovered from the
parties charged with having entered
the store. Whether other goods
were taken it is not known. The haul
taken by the thieves included cloth
ing, watches, suit case, etc. The
thieves got the choicest of the arti-
cles on the shelves, but sufficient
evidence to lead to their identity was
found in the store and they were soon
arrested. In entering the store, the
parties removed their shoes, one of
them cut his foot, and blood spots
were evident on the floor of store up
stairs and down, as well as on the
stairway. From the basement the
thieves got an axe and knocked the
combination off the safe, but did not
get into it. However, it was turned
over.
A package of tobacco was found
lying on the floor evidently taken
from the pocket of one of the men in
getting his handkerchief to tie up
his wounded foot. Mr.. Law imme-
diately went in search of the negroes
on his arrival at the store and in q.
very few minutes he and the sheriff
had them in charge.
Some nights ago the store of
Walker johnson in Alcoa was. broken
into and large quantity Of mer-
chandise stolen.
Two weeks ago the store of the
Badgett Store Co., on Main street
was entered and several hundred
dollars worth of goods taken.

BAD CARNIVAL
MUST "SKIDOO"
KIWANIS CLUB NAMES CON-
MITTEE TO ACT WITH SHER-
IF IN STOPPING THEM
ALL GAMBLING AND IMMORAL
SHOWS COMING HERE WILL
BE DRIVEN OUT OF COUNTY

The Kiwanis club at it's weekly
luncheon last Thursday took up the
matter of carnivals locating in Blount
county for a week or two weeks
stand, leaving evidences of much inn
morality, gambling, etc. The club
appointed committee to act in con-
junction with the sheriff, visit the
carinvals when they unload here, and
if found to have gambling devices,
immoral attaches, or other things of
fluences to bear upon the public
generally, to advise them to leave
Immediately. This committee is COM
prised of B. L. Glascock, Jas. B..
Hedge, Jr., and Clyde B. Emert. 1t
has become common thing for the
dirtiest of carnivals to locate in the
county, just between the corporate
limits of Maryville and Alcoa, in a
section over which neither of the
towns has jurisdiction, but both
towns and the people of the county
reap the foul seeds sown by the inn
moral shows that put up here. Such
shows are not allowed to set up in
either Maryville or Alcoa, and here
after they will not be allowed to set
up in the county, if they are the type
that some here recently were.
Sheriff Edmondson says he is
anxious to enforce the laws against
such nuisances and will cooperate
with the committee named and any
other good citizens in keeping such
evils from our midst.
Unless shows coming here after
this can show clean slate, and that
they are within the law morally and
in every other way, their stay will be
short, for the people of the county
have laws to protect them against
such evils and these laws will be en-
forced.
