Witn esse s 1 A ppeared Short at Recorder's John Finger has new the coop-somfe oi the officers say, While others think his absence from court this morning was because he was not summoned. Finger, is the man who took up a collection for a dozen boys at the Highland Park mills and bought three gallons of cider which seems to have been the cause of the cutting scrape at the mill Thursday night. The case azainst John Hawkes and Keene Bailey charged with cutting C. R. Pope, was not taken up but the defendants were witnesses in one of the cases against John Short, charged with selling intoxicants in the form of cider. Both Bailey and Hawkes swore that the cider made them crazy, they having :taken four or five glasses each. Will Young and other witnesses swore that the cider could be felt in its effects 'but they didn't seem to think them selves .drunk from having taken it. The evidence brought out in the case against Short was that John Fin ger had bought all of the cider over three gallons from Short, the mem bers of the crowd, about 14, having chipped in and given the money to Finger to buy the cider for them. Fin ger wan, for some reason, not present this morning, and hence only the case of John Short coi:ld be dealt with. After the court was satisfied that he had sold the cider, he was bound over under r. bond cf ?200. Will Young, one of the witnesses against Short, was also a defendant in a case charging him with being drunk and disorderly. One witness said that when the officers were after Hawkes, Young shouted out "I'll be d if Hawkes will go to town tonight." Young was also charged with resist ing an officer. His crime being a rather serious-one he yas "fined $2$ ahfl costs, amounting in) altjto ; $23.15 ? i 4 The court was presided ; over,by Act ing Recorder S. H. Hilton. OF INTEREST TO CATHOLICS. Cardinal Gibbons Explains Dispensing With Abstinence 'dp 'Fridays. ? A bit of interesting newi tp the Cath olics of this cily was the propagation of an order direct "from the Pope to Cardinal Gibbons, regarding abstin ence on Fridays. The Pope's new order did away with abstinence yesterday, Friday, which was the, day of the least of St. Peter and St. Paul and ; abstinence on this day is something jthat , has never before occurred during the present genera tion, so it is declared. The reason why Pope Pius granted this special permission to the! Catho lics not to observe the usual , abstin ence on yesterday is that the day is a feast day and formerly was a holiday of obligation. The usual custom of abstinence on Fridays from meat had its beginnings many centuries ago in the times of tne apostles St. Peter and St. Paul. It was said that at first it was merely a pious custom, but gradually became a fixed law until today no Catholic is ex cused from the abstinence unless for reasons of health or on account of some sufficient reason. For the above reasons and as the custom of Friday abstinence from meats is so deep-rooted in the minds of all Catholics the Pope's order regard ing yesterday's, lack of abstinence, was received as a great surprise to Catho lics everywhere. The order did not require - non-abstinence but permitted those who wished to do so to omit ab stinence on that day for the reasons stated above. The order for Catholics in America came t-lyough .Cardinai cGibbaus COLUMEIA LOST. She Tried Hard to Get Something That ' : - Charlotte; Got. v - - Columbia has utterly failed to show the Southern Railway that she is en titled to the assistant general superin tehdants office.
