Mr. George Moose has accepted
a position as clerk m Mr. C G
Heilig's store, "Uncle Dan," who
iormeny niled this place, is soing
back "down on the farm.'V
Mr. Ed. Heilig, of Salisbury , is
here on business.
Miss Ella Lentz, of Norwood, is
visiting Miss Mabel Barrier.
Mr. Luke Johnson is spending
a tew days in our town, r3ccperta-
l.ng irom the accident ha met with
last week.. Wbilo riding his fast
horse, "J ustice," down street last
Sunday the Horse slipped and feF,
bruising "kid" up pretty badly..
x-cvoi nab our town naa cucii a '
time as was had here Monday
evening as noted by your paper j
on luesafcy :?ernoon in regard to
Mr. Hinson's action.
Tuesday evening ... when Mr
Johnson and his briae returned!
from Concord he gave another
short speech without being mo
lested by the officers.
There are a hundred men, Wo
men and children in Mt. Pleasant
that are ready to swear that it
is not an, exagerated account,
that he cursed at least three
hours without ceasing, except at
court one oath after another in
the blackest, dirtiest language
that was ever uttered in our town,
and within the hearing of women
and children.
It is a shame and a disgrace to
our town and community that our
town authorities did not stop this
thing. A number of men went to
the Mayor and begged him to
nave it stopped. Mrs. Hinson was
very sick and he even went to
her bedside and cursed and black
guarded her. "Let the law have
its way" is the cry, but another
onence like this and the people
will have their way.
Mr. Hinson says that he was
"mad and out of fix," but he must
remember that he most grievous
ly violated the law and is ndt ex-
uoaoie in tne sight of the. law,
aud may rejoice that he was ex
cusable in the sight of our un
worthy officers. OnDit
