To Test Validity of Act.

Legal proceedings to test the validity of the act authorizing Jefferson County to issue $5OO,000 of sanitary bonds were instituted in the Chancery Court this morning and the case was taken up at once, argued and submitted. Chancellor Carmichael will take up the petition at once and will probably render his de cree the first of next week. The case will be taken to the Supreme Court. The suit is purely for the purpose of testing the validity of the bond issue and was filed merely for the purpose of satisfy ing the prospective purchasers of their legality
 The bill was filed by Madeline keene against Jefferson County and the Jeffer- son County Sanitary Commission and the plaintiff asked that the act involved be declared unconstitutional. and that the county be enjoined from issuing the bonds. The legislation bearing upon the subject was set forth and it's constitu- tionality questioned. and the ability of the county to carry on its contract was also questioned. The bill was filed by Weath- erly & Weatherly.
 The answer in behalf of the county and the Sanitary Commission was filed by James Weatherby, E. J. Smyer and J. M. Gillespy. The consttutionality of the act was defended and the power of the county to take care of the bonds and carry on the other branches of the gov ernment was defended.

ROBBERS LOOT STORE.
Make Ineffective Effort to Blow Open
 Safe.

Pollard, Nov. 21.-(Special)-The store of J. D. Owens and Company was burg larized recently and goods to the amount of $75 or $lO0 were taken. The thieves eI- fected an entrance to the store by knock- ing out the brick from the back of a chimney and making an entrance Just large enough to admit small man or boy. After thus gaining entrance the first inside must have opened the door in the rear of She store and admitted his accomplices. They then examined the show cases and robbed them of several watches and sundry jewelry, such as col lar buttons, studs, etc. They also took possession of half a dozen fine razors, Overlooking several others.
 After fitting themselves out with me clothing evidently taking only such num- bers as suited them. they pryed open one of the cash drawers with an ak but got nothing for their pains but few cop pers. Their last work proved them to be novices in the business. Obtaining some powder in the store they endeavored to blow open the safe. The powder failed to explode and they vented their rage on the safe by trying to open it with blow points. ,.,,, 4.
 No clue was had to the robbers till 1t was learned by telephone from Brewton that three prisoners. two of whom were from this vicinity, had escaped from jail Saturday night. The two were acqualnt- ed with the surroundings here and knew that they could most easily rob this store.

RooSevelt's Frankness.

cannot become accustomed to in
President Roosevelt Is bis absolute
irankness and his above-board
methods. He seems to hate the
whisperer. As an instance Of bis
method the experience OF = newspa-
per correspondent the other day is
interesting. He happened to enter
the autsroom at the White House one
day while the president was talking
to group Of strangers. Colonel
Roosevelt's eye caught him, and he
waved his arm in recognition as one
SOCIOLOGY might do to another. Call
ing across the room he said:
"Jones, want to see you. Don't
60 away until l have finished with
these gentlemen" The correspondent
sat down to wait, and the president
having dismissed the last Of his call
ers, said: "Look, here, Jones, l saw
what you said in your paper about
the promotion Of so.and.so, and l
want to explain to you that dom.

Will Little's Statehood Plan.

". /. Little, now postmaster OF
Perry, Okla, has this interesting and
sensible suggestion as to statehood:
Neither Arizona nor New Mexico Is
or ever can be worthy Of separate
statehood. The thing to do is to ad-
NIT the Republican territory Of New
Mexico, attaching Arizona 10 1t in
the same way that Indian territory is
bound to Oklahoma in the Flynn bill.
With such boundaries New Mexico
would be spacious state, but fifteen
states the size Of Rhode Island could
be added before the state Of New
Mexico would be IS large as Texas,
and it would have only about two.
thirds as many people as are now in
Oklahoma.
"Years might pass before Arizona
could escape from her territorial
bondage, but in time she would DO.
come a part Of the state Of New
Mexico. Senatorial political poiss
would not be disturbed, for, although
Oklahoma should 20 Democratic, New
Mexico would sustain the balance.
In Democratic Indian territory and
Arizona more than one-hali million
persons could have statehood - =
privilege, upon the formers putting
aside tribal government, and the
lstter's relinquisAing autonomy. This
is justice, and is Oklahoma's choice
and should be ArizonA's necessity.
New Mexico and Arizona as one state
would not compare favorably with
Oklahoma with. her present area and
resources. Note these statistics: Farm
products, Oklahoma 45 million dol
lars; Arizona and New Mexico, IS
million; live stock, Oklahoma, "a
million; Arizona and New Mexico, 46
million; farm land and buildings,
Oklahama, 1876 million; Arizona and
New Mexico, So million; value Of
farm lands with improvements and
live stock, Oklahoma, 1893 million;
Arizona and New Mexico, 80 million;
population, Oklahoma, SOS,SSO; Ari.
IONA and New Mexico, SlS,24S.

suggested might be made Immediately
