THE WASHINGTON FERRY
And Some Statements About Mont
gomery County Road.


gomery County Road.
Editor The Advertiser:
IN your Saturday issue YOU publish an
article headed Complaints Of Road
which Is calculated to convey very erron-
eous ideas and to do serious injustice to
the owners of Washington ferry.
Knowing your desire for fairness l ask
that you give this letter an equally con-
splcuous place.
Any one reading the article in question
would be struck with the idea that the
owners OF the washington Ferry were
absolutely indifferent and careless as to
the condition Of the roads and ferry APP
proaches.
Exactly the reverse Of this IL true At
frequent intervals we have the approaches
ever there is high river we always have
the approaches worked as the river falls.
We have had but one complaint made
to to US IN several al, years ana that was va by
ular intervals send q loaded tank wagon
to Prattville. Thew complained that the
approach on the AutauEa side was bad
and we Immediately hired teams and men
and had IL fixed.
This wagon continues to make regular
trips over Washington Ferry.
The Standard Oil Company does not
usually continue to do loosing business
and II they can haul oil to Prattville via
Washington Ferry cheaper than they can
ship over either Of two railroads they
certainly do not find the ferry approaches
In the condition described by your cor
respondent.
Further, there are several parties in
Prattviile who run regular wagon lines
between Prattville and Montgomery via
Washington ferry and make their living
in this way. Il. as your correspondent
the approaches with an empty wagon
they could hardly make living hauling
freight over this ferry but would go to
Montgomery by either the Montgomery
or Reese ferry.
Their continued use OF washington fer
ry disproves this charge.
Your correspondent states the gravel
ed roads of the County do not run to the
waters edge but to the high water mark
at the ferry" As a mattcr Of fact the
gravel road built by Montgomery Coun-
ty. does not come within about one and
half miles Of the ferry approach. The
owners Of the ferry at their own expense
had several hundred feet Of road graveled
between the ferry approach and the
point where the County authorities ceased
grNveling.
Board Of Revenue was asked by the own
ers Of Washington ferry on Saturday
evening how many complaints he had
heard Of this ferry He replied, one or
twos not over two, but refused 70 give
Alter making the statement that a
MONTGOMERY Man recently had his har-
ness and buggy broken while coming up
the ferry hill with only one In his buggy:
your correspondent should have added
that this one weighed over 800 pounds
If the Board of Revenue Of Montgomery
County will continue the graveling Of the
road from the point at which they left
or to the ferry approach. distance CT
about one and a half miles, the owners
OF Washington ferry stand ready at any
time 70 grade and gravel the approach
itself Respectfully,

hunt is in progress in Warwick coun-
ty and lynching may follow the cap
ture of the fugitive. Tuesday after
noon, Ed Gaines, negro, cut the
throat of Union Tzschoppe. a
young farmer and the latter may die.
The trouble started as result Of
Tzschoppe objecting to the negro light
ing his pipe while sitting on a hay
stack. The negro then deliberately
threw the burning match into the hay.
Tzschoppe extinguished the fire and
drove the negro away with pitch
fork. Gaines then attacked him with
razor, cutting his throat.

AN OLD BUT
CLEVER GAME
Was Worked by Two Burglars In
the French Capital.

Paris, July 23.-A concierge in the
Rue Reaumer noticed two suspicious
looking men walk UP the stairs of the
house intrusted to his care. He rush
ed after them and asked their business.
The men appeared surprised, mutter-
ed a few words, hesitated, and finally
one said:
1--WE were going to the doctor's," but
we have changed our minds" WiN
that they made for the door.
Thieves" thought the concierge,and
followed them. In the Boulevard
Sebastopol the couple went into an
other house, and this confirming his
suspicion, the concierge called a con-
stable and gave them in charge. At
the police station the fellows gave their
address, inquiries were made, the re-
suit was satisfactory, and the sup
posed burglars were released. The men
then sued the concierge for false i'm
prlsonment and were awarded So dam
ages.
A few days later they again called at
the house In the Rue Reaumur, went
upstairs, remained some time and came
down with number of bulky pack
ages, but the concierge sa Id not word;
he remained quietly in his lodge. Had
not n court of law decided that the
men were honest citizens; that they
were not burglars, and had he not been
mulcted in the sum Of SO for saying
the contrary?
The men had robbed two apartments
and made off with their booty.

REPLY
To Demand For Arrest
Of Brigands.
Turkey Is Willing to Do
Nothing.

Constantinople, July 23.-The case
of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American
missionary released some months ago
from captivity by Bulgarian brigands,
has been revived by U. S. Consul
Leishman, who has sent note to the
porte demanding what steps have been
taken looking to the arrest of thd
brigands, since the missionary was
given her freedom.
Tewfic Pasha replied to the note as
follows: ''As I had the honor to say
many times, while Miss Stone was kid
naped in Turkish territory, the brig
ands were from eastern Roumelia. and
the negotiations for her release oc-
CURED in Bulgaria. Consequently the
Turkish government is unable to take
measures against people outside of
Turkish Jurisdiction"
Consul Leishman is likely to take
further steps in the matter.

LABOR UNIONS

Gives His Reasons.

Chicago, July 23.--John w. Gates

The average laboring man would
be much better off IL he We're without

unions, as a rule, are obnoxious to en-
ployers, because under the union rule
the laborer must lay his confidence in
the walking delegate. The walking
delegate, or socalled leader, has no
standing with the employer: hence the
workingman must suffer. Most of the
leaders In labor circles are moved by
political sentiment. Maybe 1t Is more

OWES.
David Barrie Not a
Cent
Saws Sir Thomas In Answer to
Formers Suit.

New York, July 23.--The answer OF
Sir Thomas Upton in the suit brought
by David Barrie, to recover money
claimed to be due him, as commission
on sales of tea, was filed in the Clerks
office of the U. s. Circuit court this
morning. In his answer. Sir Thomas
Upton says that in October 1897, he
engaged the plaintiff to act as his
agent in this country in the selling OF
teas. The compensation agreed upon
was S123 month, and 20 per cent
commission on all sales. In May,
1893, this agreement was changed and
Barrie was given a salary of $125 a
month, and a guaranteed commission
of S73 month. The defendant says
further in his answer that in 1909 and
1901 Barrie performed services for him
in arranging for the yacht races for
the American cup, but was not prom
ised and was given no extra compen.
sation for this work, his commission
for those years being made the same
as for the preceding years, although
his sales were much less.
In the fall of 1901, after the race of
that year, Sir Thomas says he gave
Barrie f100 in English money as a
gratuity for his services in arranging
for the race. He denies that he owes
Barrie any money whatever and asks
for the dismissal of the suit.
