CASH - CARRY PLAN
CUTS DOWN CASES
BEFORE MAYOR
The "Cash and Carry" plan which
Mayor A. H. Harris instituted in court
a week ago evidently is having its
effect, as there was only one case
to be tried Monday night.
Too many people have been “riding”
the court in the opinion of the mayor,
and when he let them have a Uttlo
leniency to take care of fine and costs,
ihe defendants just naturally •forgot
o pay off. Hence the necessity for go
pg on a cash basis.

Seen and Heard Around Court
Not so many cases on the docket at
th ? July-August term, and lots of them
w< re missing the first day. Consequent
ly Sheriff George Shuford called "O-yez.
6- yez. O-yez.” and there was a
ca: 'das hung on to the order of the
cofiirt which meant "go get him and
baring him in.”
V First defendant before the court ran
tirne to form....he did not have the
maney to pay with. His case had been
continued from the April term for a
cof*t bill of $5.85. This time he was told
tn L r in with the money not later than
■ srtdncsday afternoon. Impossible to get
,i check on the defendant late Wednes
day^ but it is presumed that the cash
u Vttjlheomltlg.
Nrn; five defendants "called and
lalled." tlfree of them brothers, all ab
sent. Followed by Will Gravely with
four counts to his credit, and of course,
Will was I not present. Will is a good
sort of a tyhap when It comes to work
ing. and 1.4 said to be an exceptionally
fine sawm.Ul man, but he can’t stay out
of court. Too much of a desire for
whiskey. Wig family, too, that adds to
the shame) of the thing.
Sheriff iShuford and Deputy McCall
made a njcht of It Monday, from sup
per time 'til breakfast, and they count
ed for twelve residents of the Jail for
breakfast, nnd made for clearing the
docket Tuesday. George and Buck fig
ured out Just about where they'd find
some of the chaps who failed to show
up, and went after them.
Seems that Tom Bagwell persists In
drinking Transylvania com and getting
In the tolls of the law. He had four
charges against him, all growing out of
too much firev'ater. His attorney said
that Tom had a Job In South Carolina
making pvetty good money, and that he
stayed on the water wagon down there.
Judge Alley said he was In favor of let
ting him pay costs In the four cases,
and letting him go to South Carolina
to hts Job—-where It appears that the
"government llkker” doesn't tempt him
so bad.
Nice looking young chaps and an
attractive young girl—the chap about
20 and the girl about 17 Hooked more
like 18) changed with stealing clothing
from a home In the Cherryfleld section.
They had been In Jol! for several weeks,
and His Honor let them off with a min
imum fine and the big cost MU, which
was paid by a brother of the young
ohap,, and they were allowed to go
back to their homes In South Carolina.
Met an Interesting chap In the court
house. Editor M. C. Scofield, of In
verness, Fla. In addition to being a
newspaperman. Mr. Scofield is also
mayor of his hnpne town, and a law
yer-looks like he has a monopoly on
things down in Citrus county of the
Sunshine State. He Is spending ten
days at the Frank Patton home near
Plsgah Forest, and just dropped by
court “to see how things are dons In
North Carolina.”
Folks walked about sort of on nasties
and pins. Janlttr had recently p[at oil
on the battleship linoleum which cov
ers the floor, and While it was not real
ly dangerous, it Bad an th6 appear
ances. Suggestion Is made that 4U be
applied a flniii ahead of court nest
time. 1 *
Might have fooled (npwfiffcper
men do mat* one* ia> a
while) bst 1? a wasn’t high «ua
a kite In the court room Monday, there
"ain't a dog In Georgia." No, he wasn't
one of our local barristers. 8ome of our
home town attorneys may take a drink
occasionally, but they don’t come to
court lit up.
Another time when honesty really
pays—young woman up for having
whiskey for purpose of sale, and she
admitted that was exactly why the 12
or IS pints that Sheriff Shttford found
In her home were on hand for. Judge
Alley took Into consideration the fact
that she had told lawyer Kltnzey the
truth about the matter, and the fur
ther fact that she has a small daughter
In school, and let hor off light.
People wonder just what It Is that
passes between tho prosecuting attor
ney and a client's lawyer when they
whisper together before a case starts.
Very probably none of a newspaper
chap's business, also very probably a
necessary thing to do. but people won
der about It just the same.
Miss Daphne Spratt always has a
pleasant look, and a smile. Must be an
art to be able to take down yards of
testimony. In a hot court room, when
the witnesses are not speaking any
too plain, and at the same time keep
pleasant. Wonder if she'll still be able
to be like that when she gets to the
ripe age of the scribe who admires her
so much.
Whatta-man! Chap up before the
court got six months, and he smiled as
he walked over to the group of prison
ers who were either waiting to be tried
or had already had justice meted out to
| them.
—
Funny thing about Transylvania
courts—there never are many negroes
up. The same thing applies to mayor's
court. There are always ten white fel
lows up to one negro.
Judge Alley doesn't see anything so
radically wrong with a man carrying a
pistol in his car—what with the type
of highwaymen one is apt to meet.
General conception around here has
been that a man baa to have his pistol
in plain view. Might be that ye scribe
didn't understand it Just right, but the
conclusion wets drawn that if"a fellow
is a decent sort, he Isn’t doing sp
awfully bad to have a pistol In the
dash-board pocket of his auto.
The Judge took time out to remark
during the day about tie "freight train
trucks" that. travel the highways. He
had reference to the big boys that take
up every bit of half the road, and lots
of times this half right in the middle.
A fellow can't help feeling sorry for
the unfortunate chaps who get in had
with the law. One should feel that
Justice should be ' meted out for the
protection of society, but then, there
are lots of fellows who Juat got .by
lucky and weren't caught Must be
anything but pleasant to stand up and
hear the court read out—"Six months
in the cotomcn jails of Transylvania
county, to be assigned to work undor
supervision of the state highway and
public works commission."
Liked the way Solicitor Garsnce
Ridings examined a trial Jury— If
there is any mason why rendering a
verdict of guilty In this case would be
ernbamaring to you. you may be ex
cased.- That's fair f- '
