Chief Hamrick arrested Clarence Crotts at the Southern depot Saturday evening where it was found Crotts was retailing liquor from underneath the platform. Crotts is a white man from the Casar section. He had a 5-gallon demijohn with about two gallons of whiskey, and a McKnight negro who was standing by at the time of the arrest had a dinner bucket full of liquor which he declared he had just purchased form Crotts. Crotts is out under a $500 bond and will be given a hearing on Tuesday.
