Arthur Davis, colored, who with his wife, Beulah, was in police court a few weeks ago on an affray charge, was put under suspended judgment of four months in jail when he was brought before County Judge Sawyer Monday for failure to support his children, the suspended sentence to go into effect upon the defendant’s failure to pay his wife $4 a week for the support of their children. The pair are not now living together.
This was the sole case before the recorder Monday morning, an exceptional occurrence as Monday’s docket is usually the heaviest in the week. The quiet Sunday in town is attributed by Chief Gregory to the large number who went out Sunday to inspect the grounds of the Elizabeth City Country Club, where an 18-hole golf course is now under construction.
