Arthur Edwards, Rock Hill negro, who has been visiting friends in the city, probably will remain in Cabarrus for several months as the guest of the county.
Edwards was arrested Saturday afternoon charged with taking wo suits of clothes from the Richmond-Flowe Company. It is charged that he had the clothing with arrested.
The negro was seen with suits when he left the store, it is said, so the alarm was given. In an effort to make his get-away the negro darted into the hallway leading to the second floor of the building adjoining the clothing store and his arrest was an easy matter then. There was no way for him to get out of the building.
He was lodged in the county jail and will be given a hearing in court this afternoon.
