FIVE DIVORCES
GRANTED Nf COURT
ilX ARE SENT TO BUILD
GOOD ROADS
Heavy Criminal Docket Consum
ed Entire Week of Superior
Court-Judge Webb Presiding
Five divorces were granted and six
road sentences were imposed the first
three days of the Cleveland Superior
court which began Monday with Judge
James L. Webb presiding. Judge
Webb set the wheels in motion as
rapidly as possible, but the criminal
docket is heavy and may n6t be com
pleted until this afternoon. The Judge
convened court early yesterday morn
ing to hear a few divorce cases on
the civil docket, after which the at
tention of the court was turned -back
to the case against Jack Williams, a
voune white man charged with high
way robbery on the, person of Joe
Cook Washburn who operated a store
near the Eastside mill a few week ago
when someone robbed him of about
$34 in cash. The Williams case lias
consumed more time and attracted
more attention than any case on the
docket so far. All evidence was in
Wednesday afternoon and after the
judge's -charge yesterday, the case
was turned over to tke jury.
Case of state against Lee Woodall,
embezzlement, continued.
James Camp, retailing, pleads guil
ty. No sentence yet.

Four cows and nine dogs have been

which traversed- the county several
days ago from below Earl to the Eli

Shelby! The bull dog got'into'jpas

ugly, manner. A colored boy shot the
dog then ran with the resilt that he
fell In a ditch and injured himself in

dog's, head was sent to Raleigh for
analysis and as soon as the telegram

Mr. Suttle ventured the remark Tues

More Whites on the Gang.
Chief B. O. Hamrick says there are
moro white people on the jrfialn fang
and In jail than there ar( .negroes.
There is exactly the reverse of the
situation several years' ago when the
jail' atij' gang had a majority of ne
groes There are 16 whites In jail and
only two colored and on the chain
gang of No. 6 the majority are
whites; Chief Hamrick says he can
rot understand this situation but it is
a fact that he arrests more whites
than colored for the "various violations
of the law. There is one striking thing
to be noticed and that is that you sel
dom catch a negro " manufacturing
whiskey. The whites seem to have a
monopoly on this business. A negro
will sell whiskey now and then, but
the whites traffic in it mare than
negroes.
