-W'im Must Pay tba Penalty.
-There was considerable interest
manifested: last! Friday in' some
blind tiger cases; The defendants
were Fayette oilman and Claude
Mcluturff, andf there were Beven
distinct charges? against theuvfor
violating the liquor law.' Allman
was the only one5 of the defendants
tried Friday .: He was represented
in court by the firm of Clement &
Clement, and ? iWalter Murphy.
Esq. R. Lee Wright, representing
the Law and Order League, assisted
Solicitor Craige iji the prosecution.
' The leading witness against the
defendants was a young man
named 3. J. Lawrence, one of the
employes of Thb Watchian office.
His testimony was brief, but was
plain, positive land direct.; He
swore that at seven different times
since the first day of January last,
he had purchased whiskey from
Allman. He had seven bottles of
whiskey in court and stated that
he purchased them of his own ac
cord and solely through a disire to
see the law enforced and illicit
liquor selling stopped. The de
fendant entered a complete denial
of the charges. After hearing the
evidence Judge Miller stated that
he would find therdefendant guilty
in. seven oases. '
On Saturday $here was a large
attendance at the court, many
citizens being much interested in
the outcome of the Allman case,
the defendant being found guilty
as stated above. I
When court convened Judge
Miller relieved jail suspense by
promptly announcing that he
would fine the defendant $100
and costs in each case, making
a total fine of $700 and costs, or
consequent upon failure to pay the
fine, a sentenceiof twelve months
oh the roads.
Chas. Allman
who was also
tried and found guilty on a similar
charge, was fined $200 and costs,
or, in default of payment, .six
months on the toads. Attorneys

will go to the Superior Court.

An totejestlng Storj SCoocerniog a Family
- of 8ood Citizens and Soldiers. ;
Four brothers, D. A., J. L.; B.
R , and S: C. Ketohie," with their
wiveB, all of whom have spent .the
greater portion of their . lives in
Rowan county but strange to say,
had never all been together since
childhood, met on last Saturday
at J. L. Ketchie's in Taylorsville,
fl. C., and spent Easter with him.
While-all together they had their
pictures taken in a group.
The oldest brother, D. A.
Ketchie is 78 years old ; was mar
ried December b : had six
children, but two of whom are liv
ins: eight grand children. He
spent four years in the civil war;
was captured at the battle of
Spottsylvania court house, and
held a prisoner-until-the close of
the war.
J, L. Ketchie .is -71 years old;
was married August 12, 1860; has
no children. He went to war at
the beginning. On the retreat
from the battle at Gettysburg was
left sick by the way ; was picked
up by the Federal troops ; carried
north, and not allowed to return
home till after the close of the
war.
B, R. Ketchie is 64 years old;
was married July 9, 1866; has six
children and twenty-two grand
children. He spent two years in
the civil war; was taken prisoner
at the battle of Gum (Swamp and
held as such till the war closed.
S. C. Ketchie is 64 years old;
was married iJeoruary o, 1000;
had seven children, six of whom j
are living; nineteen grand-chil-j
dren. He spent two years in the
war; was wounded at the battle
of Petersburg, but continned in
thewar to its close, then returned:
home, - ! .
The average of the brothers is
69i years, and the average time
spent in the war is over three
-v-t. v- -a i TT ft
years. 15. k, ana o. u. is.ei.onie
are twins. Their mother died
when they were but six hours old.
At birth the former weighed 9
pounds while tb.9 latter weighed
1 pounds. The midwife put him
in a quart cup and covered it with
her hand. None of the brothers
were ever under the influence of
any intoxicant, and last but not
least, all voted the prohibition
ticket in 1908. Biographer.
Another New Concern.
A company which will be known
as the Salisbury Realty and In
surance Company, has been form
ed here. The new concern will
absorb the business of Maupin

those interested in the new firm
are: A. L. Smoot, W. B. Sum

Last Thursday night some un

of Reuben Robins, sear East

and a lot of other goods. Robins
is an industrious and thrifty negro

A Hustling Farmer.

worth of cotton three bales ; $240
of corn; 125 of : potatoes and $40

Whiskey Killed tbe Brass.
Those who hav6 had occasion to
pass along the side walk in front
of the court house to-day, have
been attracted by the little sign
beard stuck into the ground in a
.a
spot on the court house lawn, on
which the grass is dead. The lit
tle sign board bears the three
words 4 'Booze Did It."
Some know what it means and
others do not. As the reader will
remember, about a week ago, f
man giving his name as Moore
from Gaston county, dropped his
suit case containing a gallon and
one half of white lightning upon
the side walk in front of the court
house, breaking two bottles of it
After dropping it. picked it up,
and sat it down upon the grass of
the. lawn.
The whiskey was running out
of the case, and it was more than
the grass could stand, consequent
lv it killed it stone dead. One
man was present at the time the
case was dropped. Baid the whis
key smelled mighty good, but : he
did not see how a man's stomach
could stand it, if it would kill the
grass that way. Statesville Mas

UOBE RAILROAD TALK.
SallsSianf Clilzeas to Visit Winston-Sales
. ; la interest of Kew Rtllroa&v
Salisbury will send a delegation
here next . Monday ; or Tuesday to
confer -with local business men
about the building of- the South
bound Railroad.
r It has been published v that the
movement . inaugurated at - the
meeting in Salisbury last .week
was for. a new-road -in other
words it had nothing to do', with
the Southbound Railroad Com pa
ny, of which Mr H. E. Fries, of
this city, is president. '
The Salisbury-people want the
road to come 'via that town - and
they- arc anxious - about itso
much so 'that Rowan., county is
willing to - vote bonds to the
amount of perhaps $200,000 or
more in order to get it. ; ?
Mr, T. H. Vanderford, of Salis
bury, who is a leading spirit in
the movement to organize a com-
pany- witn one million dollars
capital and alio wjbondsjto be is
sued at the rate of $15,000 per
mile, any township through which
the road will pass to hold an elec
tion upon petition of 20 per cent
of the voters, was here yesterday
arranging for the visit of the Ro
wan delegation next week. The
proposed new road via Salisbury
would be 115 miles long while the
original Southbound is 83.
The belief appears to be quite
general in the Twin City that the
Winston-Salem-Wadesboro . road
will be. built. However, no one
appears to be in position to say
how soon construction work is to
begin.
Either road would mean much

coming and that if Lexington and
