A SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY.
Mr.. ID. ID. Lester Wants $4,000 for
Damages to the Vernon Shell Road.


After presenting bills to tho county com
missioners at almost every meeting held
during the last year, the Vernon Shell
Road. Company has finally filed a suit in
the city court against the county for
damages to the extent of 5000 10 the
road, which is alleged to have been done
by the county convicts when the county
proceeded with the work of having the
road drained.
1t was about year ago that the COM
missiOners ordered the company to have
the road properly drained, and after wait
ing a month or two to have IL comply
with the order, the convicts were put to
work upon II, and the county sent tho
company a bill for $500 for services rem
dered in repairing the drains along the
road. Mr.. d. 3. Lester the principal owner
of the company not only refused to pay
this bill but put in a claim for $1,000 dam
ages TO the property. The bill was pre-
scented to the commissioners time and
again but they paid little or no attention
10 1t, receiving the communications each
time as information.
Yesterday the company filed a suit in
the city court for 5000 damages against
the county, the county commissioners be-
filed by Messrs. Gignilliat & Stubs, and
Messrs. Lester & Beckwith, both of which
firms are representing the company in
which Mr.. Lester owns practically all of
the stock. II is claimed in the bill that the
trenches dug along the road for the pur-
pose of draining the land contiguous to IL
have damaged the road in that it has
been narrowed considerably, and in some
places to such an extent that il Is impossi-
BILE for two teams to pass, while there
are many places in which they can pass
only with difficulty. The bill also states
that the company has recently put out a
large number of trees in addition to those
which were already fiourishing along the
line of the road. IL Is claimed that 372 of
these trees have been cut and damaged by
the digging of these trenches, and that
some of them have been damaged to such
an extent that they have died while others
are dying The plaintiff claims that the
company has no right to take away a
part of its right of way for the purpose of
patching up the drainage of the land ad-

OF INTEREST TO MANAGERS
OF PLANTATIONS.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing WITH
small engines.
Why not generate your power froRl oas
CENTRAL Station? One generator can
furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugalS, Elevators, PIowS, Railways and
HOSTS; also furnish light and power for
radius of from 5 to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine te
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power.
