Reverend Tom P. Jimison, former Methodist minister of Spencer, and lately deposed from his former position as such by the Methodist conference, meeting in Greensboro last year, was arrested in Charlotte yesterday and sentenced to 60 days labor on the roads on the charge of transporting liquor.
Jimison passed the police of that city on beat and the odor of liquor attracted their attention. They followed the former preacher, searched his handbag, and found seven pints. Taken to city court, he received the above treatment and was sentenced. He took an appeal and bond was fixed at $250.
