Recorder’s Court
When one reads the local Recor
der’s Court proceedings, he real
izes that all the meanness of the
world is not confined to Japan ,or
even to Germany. Some of the
things coming before the last
court are of such a serious nature
that the reporter cannot afford to
make them a “laughing matter.”
Read them over and form your
own opinion of parents, children,
business and general conduct and
cussedness as they are revealed in
the court’s array of facts.
Readers will perhaps recall a
court action months back where a
j young man was tried for playing
I)a\id with his uncle’s home. This
same young man was before the
j court for trespassing and assault,
j The records also show that he was
[drunk at the same time. Judge
j Rhodes sentenced said young man,
| Frank Faison to 6 months on the
I state highway and the costs of the
j court, but suspended the sentence
j on condition that he pay a fine of
$25.00 and stay away from the
j home of his uncle, Kerney Faison,
J for a period of two years.
Paul Thorpe, colored man, was
1 1 1 ied for trespass and malicious
‘injury to personal property. It
t seems he bought a second hand
tear from Brantley Motor Co. and
[gave a mortgage on a cow and va
jrious other items of personal prop.
! erty. Riding into town one day
} lately he asked Mr. Brantley to
see the mortgage note. Getting
hold of it, he ran and when appre
hended the note had disappeared.
The court taxed him with fine and
costs amounting to $32.50.
Russell Murphy assaulted Doug
las Chamblee with a truck pin,
said pin being driven full of 20
I penny nails He was started to
• the roads for 6 months but the de
cree was held in abeyance till he
could provide enough money to
pay a fine of $25.00 and the costs
of the action.
Three young men and two boys
wanted a “bait” of melons. One
or more of them knew where they
could be found, so off they got to
Hilliard Green’s melon patch. Hil
liard had already bargained to
bring a number of the melons to
Temple’s market the following
morning. The boys, by names,
Geo. Wells, William Eatman. Ed
win Cone. Charlie Cone and
Ferrell helped themselves to a!l
they wanted. E’Jt for some rea
son, maybe as some one suggested,
because they could not eat more,
they maliciously destroyed about
40 melons and 30 cantaloupes. The
judge s' ntenced the three older
boys, who are 18 years old, to pay
Mr. Green SIO.OO for the melons
and the court the costs of the trial.
Charlie Cone and the Ferrell boy
who are only 13 years old are to
