two years."
"Road sentence of six memhs
against Venter W omack if he ap

So reads the uniuue sentence or
dered hy Recorder W. t. Lemi i n !
apun-t two of the principals who
turned a neirro dance festival iit.t a
ulood-lottinr contest in which a Vm!'
and razor were used with K. ody
effect.
Jud.;c I.emmond's reiiiman.l, ";hoi
shall not dunce with.n two years,
was an addition to his first judj;-m'nt
that Jessie Simpson, colored mis-.,
should serve a sixty day term h jail
or pj.y a fine of S"0 and tho . isis. '
At the same time Johnnie F von.
another colored miss, drew a l inety
day sentence or a ?.) line for using
a razor on Mattie I.incolnton.
The uni'iue sentence of Jude Lent-
in nd is the outgrowth of a melee
which occiired at a negro holiday ,
dai;ce in the western part of Monroe. ,
Tiie local lightfoo'.ed brothers ot
color had for days been looking for
ward to the coming of the great
Christmas shindy. An orchestr.. was i
imivrt? I and the elect of Wadeshuro,
Charlotte, r.nd surrounding towrs in-1
vited to le in a'.tculance. They '-ame. '
wish dusky maidens on their arms, j
Vester Y.'omack was among tre fa
vored who wee invited to a'tenl the i
dance. Now Ves'.cr was sweet on
one Johnnie Bivens, and it wis she!
that he led for;h to the dance. Jes-j
ii win- flint ni 'l:t or lsp he lioi'S nntiSS
dance, for Jessie was taken und-r the
piotec'.ing win of Johnnie at the i
affair. '
Viola Carthage, a high brown, and;
Mattie I.incolnton, her friend, were i
among the females who slid around j
the dance-hall floor in the anr.s of j
the big bucks. Officer King of the 1
Monroe police force found thirds re-
markably quiet tor a negro dance;
when he looked in about 10:30. The j
orchestra was grinding out the jazz
at a grea: rate. A Broadway coon
with the aid of his partner was
initating the Carolina product into
the mysteries of the "Chicago" and
the "Milwaukee." There was no evi
dence f a great fight brewing. Ofri
cer King lift, satisfied with the con
duct of the negroes.
Hardly had lie reached the Sea
board depot, however, before 'lie po

I couldn't walk across tho floor; Just
had to lay and my little ones do the

every thing I heard o., and a number ot
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't at, and slept poorly. I
bllevo if I hadn't heard of and taken
