Mayor John A, Smith Indicted
. and Bound to Court, on 209
JustlHed Bond "on Warrant
: Sworn Oat by II, N. Garrison
Caae Tried Belore Eiqaire
,-T. R.' Cameron.
MrrJohn A. Smith, mayor of
Bessemer City, was bound over
to the next, term of Gaston Su
perior Court Tuesday by Magis
trate J. T. R, Dameron, being
reamred to give a justified bond
of $200, which was furnished bv
J. A. Pinchback, bis brother-in
law." The , warrant calling for
the arrest of Mayor Sm.th was
sworn out by Mr. H. N. Gar
rison, of the firm of Garrison &
Detterr'druggists, and charged
the town's chief magistrate with
illegal proceedings irr the trial
of a case, '
The events which led up to
this trial are familiar to many in
the county. . Some time ago Mr.
Gartison was brought before
Mayor Smith on a warrant issued
by the latter charging bim with
selling bitters, contrary to the
State laws. When be came in
to the mayor's coiirt Mr. Gar
rison produced an affidavit al
leging that he . could not get
justice before the mayor and re
questing that the case be trans
ferred to a magistrate, ' offering
to stand trial before any magis
trate that Mayor Smith would
name. Inasmuch, as the .case
was a State case and- not a town
case, Mr. Garrison claimed that
he had a perfect right to swear
it away from the mayor to a
magistrate. Mayor Smith re
fused to honor the affidavit and
proceeded, to try Garrison for
the alleged offense. The latter
waived examination and was
bound to court. When the case
was . called at the September
term of Superior Court the prin
cipal witness, Robert Sides, was
not on hand, being at that time,
so it is stated on good authority,
serving time on the chain gang
in Mecklenburg county. Mr.
Garrison was acquitted and the
arrest and trial of Mayor Smith
Tuesday was a result.
When tbecase was called for
trial before Magistrate Dameron
Tuesday Mr. Smith's attorney,
Mr. Prank M. Shannonhouse, of
Charlotte, waived . examination
and appealed to Superior Court.
He asked that Mr. Smith's re
cognizance be taken for the
required bond, $200, but the at
torney for Mr. Garrison, Mr.
Stonewall Duiham, insisted that
a justified bond be required.
The magistrate accordingly re
quired a justified bond and the
same was given by Mr. J. A
Pinchback, - brother-in-law of

' lor Anti-Saloon Forces. ...
'Probably the most exciting
election on the prohibition ques
tman ever held in . any North
Carolina city "was held in Ashe
ville on Tuesday and resulted
in the mountain city going "dry"
by au overwhelming majority.
Tfie prohibition forces .seem to
haye .realized from the first of
the campaign that a hard fight
would be neccessary to break
the hold bf the saloon, and no
stone was left unturned in their
strenuous efforts to roll tip a
btfge. vote for the abolition of
the saloon. Among the leaders
in the campaign against - the
liquor traffic were some of the
most prominent men ot the city,
including Judge Pritcbard, Hon.
Locke Craig, and others of great
prominence. Meetings were
held every night for weeks be
fore the election, and a noted
Kentucky evangelist, Rev. Mr.
Ham, was' secured to bold a
series of evangelistic meetings.
The ladies and children took an
active and effective part, in Jbe
campaign, especially on election
day, when they congregated at
the polling places and made
every conceivaDie enort.to in
fluence the anti-prohibitionists
to change their minds and vote
for prohibition.
As a result of the election of
x uesaay an saioons ana uisuii-
eries in Asheville will be close
on January 1st, 1908.

Story.
A marriage which had a touch
ot me romantic anout it was
solemnized at the Presbyterian
ma"e here Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock wln n Rev. R. C
Anderson net formed the cere
mony which j'jined the lives and
hearts of Mr. d. W. Hopkins,
of Reidsvillr, aid Miss Marie
Kominger, of Zion City, Illinois
The young couple met here1 b
appointment, the groom coming
from Spartmburr, S. C, and
the bride from Lynchburg Va
They registered at the Falls
House Wednesday morning and
later repaired to the manse, Mr
Anderson having been pre
viously requested by wire to per
form the ceremony. The cele'
bration of the marriage rites was
witnessed by onlv two persons
besides the minister. The bap
py couple left the same day for
Spartanburg, S. C. and will
later go to Columbia where they
will reside. Mr. Hopkins is a
travelling man and has his head
quarters at the latter city.
Back of the marriage of these
two young people is a romatic
love story. Their friendship
dates back to a time when they
both resided in Reidsville, this
state. A few years ago the
father of the bride became a
very devoted follower of the late
John Alexander Dowie, the foun
der of Dowieism and of Zion
City, Ills. That he migjjt be in
close touch with his chosen lead
er and with the form of life and
religion propagated by Dowie,
he moved with his family to
Zion City. In the meantime
Mr. Hopkins, who had wooed
and won the heart of the young
lady, was engaged in travelling
in North and South Carolina for
a large firm. Distance could not
separate them, however. Miss
Rominger's father, though a
zealous Dowieite himself, did
not try to force his children to
accept his belief but left them to
their own inclinations. The love
that had bound the two young
people grew and as a result they
were happil ' married here Wed
nesday.

Mr. George H. Royster, of
Greensboro, general secretary of
the Knights of Pythias insur
ance department for North and
South Carolina, was in Gastonia
Tuesday. He came to deliver
to the beneficiaries of the late
I. N. Alexander a check for
$1,000, the amount of the de
ceased's policy in the order.
Mr. Alexander was, up to the
time of Bis death, secretary of
section 1861, having in charge
the insurance feature of the
local lodge. Mr. Royster ap
pointed Mr. J. H. Kennedy to
succeed him in this capacity.
Mr. Kennedy had been filling
this position temporarily since
the death of Mr. Alexander.
He is by no means new to the
business,, having served in this
capacity three years some years
ago. While here Mr. Royster
wrote several new members for
insurance and increased the
amounts carried by several
members. On Monday night be
gave an interesting and mstruc
tive lecture before the local
lodge on the insurance feature
of the order. More K. of P. in
