The Police Court-
Marshals Adams and Scott booked two!
cases this week, charging Alma LukeH
and Ellison Diamonds, both
with selling whiskey. Both stontly pro*
claimed their innocence. Messrs. J, Tl
West and M. W. Gross defended Aim*
and J. T. West and J, Glenn Stovall dtfl
fended Eliison.
In Alma's case the Mayor conld not |
see his way clear to accept her claim of !
innocenoe in the face of positive testi- ,
mony of her guilt. So he reqnired her
to deposit 825 or do 30 days street im- •
provement.
His Honor had doubts of Ellison’s |
guilt but not enough to release him en-1
tirely. Tho Town case was dismissed, •
and defendant bound over to the Supe
rior Court.
Our Marshals are wide awake in run
ning down crime, aud especially in de
tecting and bringing to punishment the
blind tigers which have long afflicted
our town.
A PAHson's Nobi-E Act.
“I want all the world to know,’’ writes
Rev. C. J. Budlong, of Asha way, R. I.
what a thoroughly good and reliable medi
cine I foun in Electric Bitters. They eared
me of jaundice and liver troubles that had
caused me great suffering for many years.
For a ‘genuine all-around cure they excel
anything I ever saw ” Electric Bitters are
the surprise of all for their wonderful work i
in Liver, Kidney and Stomach troubles.
Don’t fail to try them. Only 50c. Satis
faction guaranteed by Harrison & Hadley.
A Jtiig Campineetiua;-
The colored people had a campmeeting
at Mesena Sunday anil a large delegation
went up from Thomson. From all ac
counts it was a red hot gathering aud a
record breaker iu revelry, defiance of the
law and flagraut desecration of the day.
It is reported that the blind tiger was
not even modest enough to hide away to
the woods, but was to be seen out in the
open, and the evil spirits were dealt out
in shameful bolduess and contempt of
the law. Gambling, shooting and scraps
of every 6hade seem to have been the or
der of the day. It is said that the Mar
shal of the town was forced to release a
prisoner whom he lmd taken in charge,
and was powerless to control the dis
order.
The better element of the colored peo
ple must regret such disgraceful cou
duct, and should see to it that the au
thorities of Warren county shall have the
names of the guilty parlies, that they may
be justly punished, as a warning to oth
ers who may be inclined to do likewise.
They should be severely taught that a
Sunday campmeeing is no place for blind
tigers and shameful carousals.

Ginhouse and Cotton Burned.
Mr. David Norris, who lives about 8 1
miles from Thomson, lost his giuhouse
by fire on Thursday. There eight bales
of cotton on the ground, ginned and
packed, most of which was burned. The
fire broke out about 2 o’clock in the
morning, and the suspicion is strong
that the fire was the work of an iuceu
diary.
