to have that town supplied with a sys-
tenn of sewerage. The citizens of Gaines
willie should do the same thing. A good
condition of sanitation cannot be obtained
without proper drainage. Protection of
the public health is a matter concerning
which the people of no community can
afford to be Indifferent

Last Monday, at a turpentine farm of
West, Millnor & Co., six miles sc:th of
Madison, Julius Robinson shot one Crit
tendon, infiioting wound of which he
died Tuesday morning. The trouble be-
gan about 10 cents which the latter owed
the former. Judge Martin and a jury
held an inquest and found that the homi-

disposed of in court Tuesday Judge Wall
denied the petition of several of the can
didates, who recently withdrew from the

quirements of law. After the case was
argued by Hugh c. Marfarlane and w.
A. Carter for the defense, and by John
P. Wall for the complainanS the Judge
announced that he could not issue the
mandamus. He stated that he did not
deem ID necessary to pass upon the con-
stitutionalify of the act of 1897, for the
simple reason that the compliments had

who made the petition had such an inter-
est in the affair would entitle them
to the relief asked for. He could not
consider them candidate of the Demo-
cratic party. He ruled that the matter
was purely political one, and not le-
gal question, and therefore, had no place
in court of equity. This seems to set
tie the question finally and ends one of
the greatest political upheavals that ever
occurred in Hillsboro county.
