Salisbury, May 28—Joe Branning, a white man of Charlotte, formerly of Salisbury, is in serious trouble as a result of two charges against him in Rowan county court. In one case he was fined $50 and costs and sent up for four months for operating an automobile while drunk. The sentence is suspended provided he pays J.L. Shaver for damages to his car, which was run into by Branning and refrains from running a car in Rowan for six months. Branning was also taxed $50 and costs and his car confiscated and ordered sold because he was found guilty of possession of whiskey. If he fails to pay up in this case he gets two months on the road.
