We made a visit yesterday to the
new Bowie County jail, in this city,
and found a half dozen men there
engaged in putting up the cages
and one or two were working on the
brick walls, filing up places where
doors had been, with solid masonry.
The jail will be a large one, the
cages will hold several pris-
oners at one time, and the rnn-
a-round several more, Constable
Barkman was in the building and
remarked, when that is done (point-
ing to the cages ! will fill them full
in short time. The Bowie county
commissioners acted literally, when
they bought the present county
building, toward our city, and we
must congratulate them In this,
The county has long needed such a
holdover here, for prisoners, and
the need became so apparent that
the county legislators though
blind when dealing with things foI
the good Of this city, rolled over
from their Rip Vanwlnkle sleep OF
twenty years, and made the ap-
preparation, We think monument
should be erected in front Of the
building with their names chiseled
thereon for future generations tC
stare at and wonder how the order
was ever made for the outlay t(
buy and improve this property

A CORPORATION WITH A SOUL

Certain county officials on the
West Side have been urging the at
torney for The Farmers Saving and
Building n Loan Association Of
Nashville, Tenn to pay cost bin
OF about $1,000 incurred by a suit
brought by It In the feSarkana civ.
II and criminal court, which court
was after the bringing Of the suit,
declared to be without authority of
law, 1t being unconstitutional The
attorney advised the Loan Coms
pdhy that It was under no legal ob-
legation to pay the cost because the
court had been declared to be with,
out authority of law, aud that the
only obligation resting upon It to
pay the cost was moral one, and
he left 1t to the Loan Company to
say whether II should pay the cost
aud this Ia what II said We note
what you say In regard to cost In
the = case, II we are bound for
the costs we desire to pay them, as
We have no sympathy nor respect
for any person who would stand ON
hm legal right II there was the
slIghtest moral obligation resting
upon him, Yours truly
