Court was held at 9 o'clock this morning. The shabby court-room was dark. The sicklv daylight seemed to have trouble getting in through the windows. The air was damp and penetrating. It was a sad and un pleasant morning. The prisoners came up out of the guard-room, where the stove cooks the foul air, like a vapor rising from a pot of soiled clothes. They emerged from the hot stench, with heads aching and mouths bitter, into the white half light of the pitiless court, to be Jurged. They had already abased and humbled themselves utterly in the long hours of disgust and remorse—ls there he any virtue In repentance they were already absolved in the eyes of their Maker. Yet they must come up and he Judged. They must expiate their fault further, must pay the price for their mistake, that their fellow-man might have revenge. First came up a white man of mid dle age. a quiet, industrious and re spected citizen ot' Augusta—a tailor hy profession—charged with being drunk yesterday evening. He appa rently had not heen very drunk, for his eye was clear enough. He ex plained to Judge Irvin that he had worked until 6 o'clock, after which,! ha readily admitted, he had taken too; much whiskey. He had spent the night! in the guard-room in consequence. Hoi further explained that his boss was sick and that he was working on a ! suit of clothes for a patron who must have them tomorrow. If the Judge would be lenient with him, he said, he could procure the money later. He had none at the moment. If he was sent to the stockade, there was no body to finish the suit of clothes. Judge Irvin suspended his $3 sentence and allowed him to go out and get the 75 cents for the costs of court. Number two was an old man of rather more than middle age, who came to Augusta yesterday from Flor ence. S. C.. on the way to Blythe, Ga., where his son was sick. He had met some people that he knew last night while waiting over between trains, had taken some drinks, and the first thing he knew he was arrested. He asked to he allowed to proceed on hts way to his son's bedside, and promised not to take another drink In town. "Ton are too old a man to be getting drunk, Mr. ." sal.l hls honor, "leave that for the young. You can go. I'll eus pend three dollars of your sentence. Go out and get me seventy-five cents." A young white man who drives a huckster's wagon came up next and Mbrnmg Will Tfe EeOT’dfcr New Shirt Waists Very Much Un derpriced Consisting of Embroidered Voiles, Crepes, Flaxon, and Lawns, in a big range of styles; our $1.50 values, all at $1.19 Don’t fail to see our line of Dolls; the most complete in Augusta, commencing at... 25^ $1.25 Jardineres at 89# $3.00 brass Costumers at $1.98 $2.50 Casserole Sets of 9 pieces for $1.49 Big line of fancy Holiday Linens, Table Sets, s Scarf and Curtain pieces; Holiday Umbrel las, Holiday Towels. seemed to he In a bad way. He was trembling violently and suffering con. siderable after effects of a debauch. He begged not to be sent to the stock ade, said that he ha/d never before been arrested, except once more than a year ago; that he was not a regular drinker and was able to get back to work this morning. He was, let off, like the others, with 75 cents, but warned not to appear again. J. \V. Hemsley, an old white man In his sixties, was arrested yesterday on a report from citizens living near the King Mill that he was a nuisance. A niece of the man with whom Hems ley boards testified that he was drunk all the time, that he never worked or paid his rent, that he slept all day while others worked, and made him self a nuisance at night begging food and raising disturbances. She said that he used profane and dirty lan guage continually and had no respect for anybody. At length yesterday she sent for a policeman to get him away from the house. He clung onto the banisters when the policeman tried to get him away so that the policeman was forced to hit him on the hand to make him let go. He then struck the | policeman in the face and the latter! clubbed him on top of his bald head, which was bound up this morning in bloody cotton and adhesive. He was sent for ten days to the stockade to get straight and the fine of $lO for resisting arrest was suspended owing to the punishment he had received at the policeman’s hands. Mr. John J. Foster appeared as at torney for a young white man charged with disorderly conduct. A witness testified that the defendant had stop ped him with a pistol on Reynolds street last night and said: "Where In the hell are you going'."' When wit ness answered "Home,” the other had said: “I don't know whether you are or net." The witness, when allowed to proceed, found Officer Matthews at the corner and had the defendant ar rested. Mr. Foster contrived to rule out the testimony of concealed weapon and to have the fine of $25 for disor derly conduct suspended on the ground that the defendant was not drunk and that there was no serious cursing. The defendant was bound over to the city I court under bond of $l5O, for pointing a pistol at another. Several hackmen were fined $2 and costs for failing to appear and sub mit their hacks for police inspection on the first Tuesday In the month. Finally a young white man, who ap peared about $0 but whose {ace might FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4. have been 50 years old, came up in the last stages of alcoholic poisoning. He could scarcely stand from weak ness, and was In a pitiable and filthy condition. He began to reel while standing at the bar, complaining that he was "awful sick" and begging for mercy. He said that he had come down from Saluda. Finally he sank down on his knees. He mumbled something about being sick and hav ing to "squat down” for a minute. All the spectators took this as a theatri cal exhibition, rather badly doneg— the old "praying gag.’’ It was a ridi culous and unworthy spectacle. Offi cer Hennles raised the man up say ing, "Get up, son, get up. You’ll make ’em think you’re sick sure enough!” Everybody smiled. Whereupon, lean ing with his hands on the railing, the man began to nod like a person sleep ing In a chair, until ail of a sudden he fell forward, striking hls head against the Judge.'s desk and collapsed to the floor. His forehead was badly cut and hts face as gray as lead. Ha was turned over to the doctor. FOR LETTERS ARE NOW USING COTTON CLOTH Will or Will it Not Become a Permanent Practice? Holley Wagon Company Receives Sample. A business letter written on white cotton cloth has been received by tha Holley Wagon Company, of Augusta, from the Sun Varnish Company, Lou isville, Ky., and Is unique to say the least. The letter is typewritten and In the same form as any ordinary business letter. A doubt has been raised as to wheth- 1 er or not the Idea will prove practical' for commercial use. The Idea is good, no doubt, in the sense of cotton con sumption. which Is being preached over the coutnry now. hut as to wheth er the cotton cloth letters comes into ! every-day use, remains to be seem.
