ofthe Peace OF Davidson county.
The oath of office, duly subscribed
was then taken to Secretary Nor
gan, who prom otly refused to file
same until an investigation of the
counties should be made, Manda-
mus proceedings will be instituted
to compel Mr.. Morgan to file the
the oath. Mr.. Evans claims this
to be the proper course for him to
take, as it brings the question of
his right to his seat as governor be-
fore the proper tribunal tor decis-
ion. The mode of procedure in
the joint convention was as follows;
Speaker Pillow opened the envelop
containing the official returns of
the sheriff and passed it to four
tellers, two Democrats and two Re-
publicans, who entered the num-
Der of votes on their tally sheets.
The returns were then open to the
inspection of the attorneys and re-
turned to the Speaker who read
them aloud. If the county was
objected to by Mr. Evans, Mr..
Pritchard arose and presented
written protest to the returns being
counted and Mr.. John. j. Vertrees
performed the same office for Mr..
Turney. The returns were then
a'scd over without being officially
recorded.

A correspondent from this place
to the Nashville American has the
following to say about the recent
raid on moonshiners in this coun-
ty. Deputy Collector Joe Parks
and Deputy Marshal L, V. David
son, assisted by D. f, Quarlcs and
Sheriff Conner, made a quiet raid
into the northeastern portion of
this county Monday and captured
wildcat concern of thirty gallons
capacity, and also another in the
southwestern portion of the county,
near the Alabama line, of greater
pretensions, being a sixty gallon
''boozc brewery" At the latter
| place, all things were just ready to
fire up, when the pesky "revenoos'
came on the scene. The still was
destroyed, with 800 gallons of beer
and two arrests were made.
The exposure to all sorts and cOndi
tions of weather that lumberman is
called upon to endure in the camps
often produces severe colds which, if not
promptly checked, resnlt in congestion

Can. n.berlain's Cough Remedy at the

Generous Little Freddy.

Freddy" said Mrs. Gazzam to her
little boy, about eleven o'clock on
Christmas morning. you ought to be a
very happy boy with all these presents
that have been sent YOU"
"Yes'm," replied Freddy, as he pound
ed his new drum with heavy whacks.
There are great many little boys
who haven't even a single present to-
day"
rs that 500" asked Freddy. And be
gave his watchman's rattle an excruci-
ating twist.
I'm the hospital on the next street,
Freddy, there are lots of children
poor, sick children, too-who haven't
any cousins and uncles and aunts and
grandparents to send them nice
things"
I'm sorry for them," said Freddy.
And he blew blast on a shrill horn to
display the extent of his sorrow.
$50 am l sorry for them, Freddy.
Now, would you like to send them some
thing to show what a generous, dear
little fellow mammals boy is?"
Il s'pose So" replied Freddy, in a
hesitating tone.
Il thought my little man would want
to. He'll feel SO glad that he has given
pleasure to the poor, sick little BOYS
and girls. Shall make up bundle?
You really have great many more toys
than you want"
Yes, mamma"
Very well. I'll send that big tin horn
that your Uncle Tom brought you this
morning, and that drum that grandpa
told Santa Claus to put in your stock
ing, and the watchman's rattle that
Aunt Sue sent from Oshkosh, and the
mouth-organ that you found in your
stocking, and that accordion that came
from the Wigginses, and the kazoo that
Uncle William bought for you"
Freddy demurred little, but his gem
erosity was at stake.
His noise-makers were bundled off to
the hospital, and then Freddy's mamma

found exasperating.

Uses of better things. Cousin Harvey
was the possessor of a large family
and small everything else. 1t was not
so very long since Mr.. March had helped
him out west, finishing his assistance
with the suggestion that in future it
would be agreeable that he should keep
his difficulties to himself. Cousin Ma

her on the subject of pressing doctors

laughed aloud as if in great relish of
the subject.

again opened his check-book and again
began rapidly filling blank ITO the
order of-what's the name?"

proceeded-"fiv hun'erd dollars"
"Hey?" Mr.. March gave his chair

frecklcd face surrounded with it's
fringe of ill-kept red hair streaked with
gray.

crate tone of one taking special pains
to make himself understood.

"Jist PLAT Pm afther sayin', sur

With a shrug of his shoulders he drew
towards him one of the checks and
added to il another cipher.

families to whom such a check would
not come as an angels gift, with stares
and catches of breath, tears of JOY from

for he had been poor himself, long ago.
Zone thousand dollars. Twenty-Five
hundred dollars"
There was a little excitement about
it. Mr. March left his chair and walked
up and down the floor. How had il
been that he had never before realized
what small scratch of his pen could
dc? They were his own flesh and
blood. They were in one way and an.
other enduring the hardness, the daily

Gnawing solicitude which belongs with

stood to him as of far less value than
this money he had been accommodating
money which could never bring to him

Yes, it could. 1t could bring to him,
to his very self, his very heart, the hap
piuess of five families-this rare privi-
leCe which he thanked God could come
with an easy scratch of his pen.
AS he still crossed and recrossed his
office floor his movements became
quicker, a glow spread over his face,
and new light shone in his eye. At
length he sat down and slowly wrote
again the checks, lingering over them
as over an ENJOYABLE task; and when all
were finished each showed still one

Can Not sub-Let Conyicts.

In Little Rock, the other day, an IN.
usually interesting law question was
determined in Judge Joseph W. Mar.
tins court, the second division of the
circuit court, relative to the hiring Of
county convicts.
The question arose in the case OF J. z. Biscoe
VS.. M. ID. L Cook, and was decided upon de-
murrer interposed by Cooks attorney. Biscoe
made contract in 1891 with the county to hire
all its county prisoners. Subsequently, he en-
tered into a sub-contract with Cook TO
hire him q large number OF them. The
suit in this case was based upon
claim by Sub-Contractor Bscoe that
Cook still owed him about $500 bal
ance for the hire OF these prisoners. The point
raised by the demurrer was that this sub-con-
tract was illegal and void as to public policy,
In that the law contemplates only contract
with the county court, and that the county
contractors OF prisoners can not enter into
sub-contract to sub-let the prisoners
held by them. Judge Martin sustained the
demurrer.

Yes. there was a radiance added to
the gentleness in the faded eyes-a
radiance written by JOY of which few
In this self-seeking world know the
taste.
Without saying more Mr.. March
wrote the checks. TO which the old man
added his tremulous signature. As the
sound of the limping footsteps died
away in the hall, Mr.. March turned
again to the five checks on his desk.
They look small-yes. they do"
Mechanically he added a cipher to the
one nearest him. THAT looks better"
cipher was added TO each check.
"One hundred. Two hundred and fifty.
They'll all have 10 be written over"
Mr.. March leaned his head on his
hands, less in a hurry TO get home
than he had thought. The glorified
face of the old servitor was still before
his minds eye. Mr.. March doubted
if ever in his life he had looked into
happier one.

The old man set his lips slightly to-

Mr. March had once or twice noticed the

looking out from under lids Redeemed
by exposure; now the mildness was in
tensified by smile of rare sweetness.
