Haris at the weekly ses sion of court held here Monday night, those who MUST get drunk to celebrate had beter do their drinking (and | or celebrating) outside the town limits. After hearing, six or eigh( cases. In which the defendants were for the most pa rt "repeaters,” or those who have been before His Honor on previous oc casions. Mayor Harris said, In straight manner— "I'm warning you fellows that I can not continue to let you go with a small fine and costs In drunk cases." and he continued, “you had better mend your ways nr be prepared to take a stiffer sentence each time you re-appertr before me on charges growing out of whiskey." Most times, Mayor Harris, endeavor ing to bo as lenient as he possibly could, taking Into consideration all phases of the cases, has let the defendants in public drunkenness cases go for a fine of three and five dollars and the costs, which amounts to ten dollars or less. "Most of the fellows have families to support,” the mayor explained when asked why he let defendants in drunk enness cases go for what is ordinarily termed a light fine, "and to put them on the road only takes the breadwinner away from the family. To slop on a heavy fine, takes the money out of the mouths of hungry children In many eases, and if a court has to let one an for less than ten dollars, It seems only fair that the next fellow who comes along should get the same treatment." The mayor said, however. Monday night, that he was beginning to believe that some of the recurrent drunk ease defendants did not want to do latter that In Ills opinion the best thing the court could do would be give heavier fines, and sentences.
