The present Republican Levy Court
will pass into history as the Injunction
Eleven. When the members are not at
loggerheads among themselves they are
AZ loggerheads with somebody else. and
the mill Is usually Fought TO a finish in
the Court of Chancery
When the members were first sworn
in many of them would not have known
u subpoena, restraining order prelimi
nary injunction or permanent Injunction
from a cord of wood on "a basket of
potatoes AID ths is changed now and Sher
ii Simmons or his deputies never cross the
threshold of the Levy Court chamber
now without the Republican members
exchanging glnnres and mutely inquir
ing what the injunction is this time.
The session to-day was no exception Go
| the rule The mcmbcrs were scarcely
seated when genial Deputy Sheriff
Thomas Gihin walked into the court room
and read She subpoena ordering lhe mem
I hers 10 appear before Chancellor WOlcott
and state why they should not ha pcr-
mancnuy cuioined from accepting or
using the ggllows frame Cherry Island
/ bridge which is $50 obnoxious TO Job II
Jackson. who evidently does not know
when he is whipped or when
| he Is fighting air. The members were
not Disconnected in the least They
/ knew IL was q fat feast for the lawyers
and If Mr. jackson and the people at
large could stand 10 the Levy Court
could.
They smiled and then the members had
their innings at the Cherry Island Marsh
| Company The bill of Bridge offender
Winfield s. Coyle, for $40, was pre-
sented 20 the Levy Court for
payment. This gave rise TO a
spirited debate Commissioners Jolls
and Clark opposed the bin, claiming
that the Cherry Island Marsh Company
promised to pay the bridgo-tcndor for
two or three months
Commissioners Hutchison. Grubb and
Hickman advocated the passage Of the
bin. saying that as the county had ac.
copied the bridge IL should be independ-
ent enough to support It, After
the compliments of the hot season had
been passed upon the Cherry Island
Marsh Company. the bill was passed. the
understanding being that the bin should
Doe forwarded TO the company for payment.
