MAYORS COURT
IS BUSY PLACE
MANY CITIZENS HAULED
INTO COURT FOR
FIRST TIME.
TRAFFIC VIOLATORS
Traffic Laws Being RigidIy En-
fOrced-Thirty-five in Court
Monday and Tuesday
Light Penalties.

"Hsve you been in the mayors court
yet ?" is a question and topic that is
threatening to 60 ahead of the
weather as subject of conversation.
/ Violators of the traffic ordinances
are being hauled into court every
hour of the day and Mayor McClana-
han has been earning his salary in
good fashion the past two days.
People who have never faced the
bar of justice before are being hauled
in before "His Honor" and they are
getting some Of the experiences of
night and police courts.
When the brakes were put on viol-
ations Of the traffic laws Monday
morning steady flow of offenders
began to stream to the police court
room in the city hall. The process is
about as expeditions as divorce
court. 81 see you are charged with
violations of the traffic laws; are
you guilty or not guilty?" Almost
invariably the answer is guilty" "ls
this your first offense?" the court
queries, and if it is, fine Of 81 is
imposed.
But, listen to this. Here is the
solemn edict of the law for the second
offense: A fine of not less than $40
nor more than 500 or Imprisonment
Of 10 days or more.
But, listen again. The third offense
is more serious and carries with it
compulsory imprisonment clause,
Here it is. For the third offense the
fine shall be not less than $25 nor
more than $20e and (note the word
AND and not orr not to exceed 80
days imprisonment.
In the thirty violators who have
been before the mayor since Monday
morning all classes of citizens are
represented; the rich and the poor,
the lawabiding and the outlaws, the
the kids and the grown-ups, county
officials and city officials, white and
black; all have met the same verdict
Of the court.
One offender gave up the ghost
when the court announced that fine
of $100 could be assessed. When
asked if he wanted to draw fine
of that degree he said, "lf you fine
me that much just take the car" 1t
was a Ford, and rafting good one,
too.
Enforcement Of the traffic ordni-
ance is rigid and unrelenting and if
you want to stay out of court OBJ
serve the rules Of the road.
Principal among the offences is
the absence of license tags. Each
car is required to display two license
tags.
There has been about as much
"Bling tigering" and jingling of
license tags as there has been in the
illicit sale of liquor. The police yes
terday found car with two different
tags on it and both of them belonged
to some other party. They have
found that two Clipped in and pay
the license on one car and divide the
tags.

VICKSBURG EXCITED
OVER GOLDSBY CASE
Authorities Want to Know il Money
Was Used TO Obtain
Liberty.

R. T. Goldsby, the notorious negro
criminal, given a sixty-day suspension
of sentence by Governor Russell on
May 2lst, is having a fine time in
Chicago, and enjoying splendid health
and spirits, according to advices re-
ceived here from the Windy City.
Grave doubts are being expressed as
to whether Goldsby viii return to
the penitentiary at the completion of
his unprecedented leave of absence,
granted by the Governor "on account
of i'll helath." 1t is known that he
has been in conference with w. +.
Mollison, formerly a negro lawyer at
Vieksburg, who is now practieing in
Chicago, presumably for the purpose
of resisting any effort that may be
made to bring him back to this state.
In the meantime, Sheriff Shannon,
of Warren county, Mayor ]. J. Hayes,
Of Vicksburg, and citizens of the Hill
City, are joining in very insistent
demand for the return Of the noted
criminal, whose conviction in the cir
cult court was secured after very
hard legal fight.
Goldsby was the most resourceful
criminal with whom the Vicksburg
authorities have had to deal for many
years. He was the head of a gang of
six or eight trained thieves who would
steal anything from box of matches
to an automobile, and through Colds
by the stolen property was disposed
of. He, also engaged extensively in
the illicit liquor traffic.
Was Money Used?
The citizens of Vicksburg would
like very much to know Goldsby's
present financial status. 1t is positive
ly known that prior to his conviction
he had nearly $4,000 in cold cash,
practically all of which was the pro-
ceeds from the depredations Of his
gang. He put up cash bond of S4,-
500 when released from Jail just prior
to his trial and was still carrying
fat balance in one of the Vicks-
burg banks.
In view of the unusual nature of
the release, the fact that it was kept
secret, and the conclusive proof that
there is nothing whatever the mat
ter with Goldsby physically, the au-
thorities at Vicksburg are determin-
ed to 60 to the very bottom of the
matter and ascertain whether any Of
the ill-gotten gains of the criminal
were used in any manner to get him
out of the penitentiary. - jackson
