IMPORTANT NOTICE.

For the benefit OF those persons
who contemplate purchasing prop
erty of the Chancery Hill Compa-
ny we desire to say in regard to a
rumor which has been freely circu-
lated, to the effect that we are not
going to build a bridge across
Decker's creek at the foot of Main
street, that the bridge is now in
course of construction at the works
of the Riverside Bridge Company
of Wheeling, w. Va, and will be
erected as soon as the work can be
completed.
The work of experimenting the
construction and erection is in the
hands Of the Osborn Engineering
Company of Cleveland, O., a COM
pany whose bridge engineers are
second to none in this country.
Any rumors or statements con-
trary to the above facts are with
out foundation.
While unexpected delays have
occurred, incident to the great de-
mand upon the capacity of the
bridge builders, we can assure
those interested in the property Of
the Chancery Hill Company that
the bridge will be completed dur
ing the present summer.

the same as that manned by Captain
Pringle, a bridge foreman, and his
crew of negroes. South of Jackson

No Social ostracism for the Psrjurer
 in High Places.

"A high sense of honor is no longer re- quired by our social code, and We are daily making fewer and less insistent de- mands upon ourselves and others in this regard" says Frederick Trevor Hill in Everybody's Magazine. Do we refuse to know the successful candidate at an election where money has flowed like wa ter. because he files a false or equivocal affidavit of his campaign expenses? Not at all. The candidate is returned, and no questions are asked. Tn other words, we never go behind the returns What is a false oath between friends, especially when the falsity is condoned by usage? Do We ostracize the woman who confides Volve perjury--or do We smile and admi c her Paris ":lportationsT
 Do We ask our lawyers how certain things are accomplished? And if We learn, do We cut the man off the list of our ac- quaintances? The authentic histories of some of our great fortunes. which have been published lately, do not affect us. The rascalities and rogueries they dis close carry no taint. We read about the infamous doings of yesterday as though they were tales of the ancient robber ba- rons and we do not hesitate to meet the besmirched dramatis personae or to curry favor with their heirs, executors. admin istrators and assigns.

 Legality of Process.
 The Mobile Item has discovered that the Montgomery officers removed Driscoll and Russell here according to law, notwlth- standing opinions of learned legal lights" So peVsistently quoted by Mobile newspa- pers.
 The Item has been studying the crimi- nal code of Alabama and leads the MO- bile public out of the darkness in this manner:
 Tn reference to the move made yester- day by the Montgomery authorities in obtaining ana holding in custody of the alleged safe-blowers, Driscoll and Russell, 1t seems that they were within their rights.
 ''The men were given into the custody of the Montgomery Police Department, through an order issued by President CaI- michael of the Convict Board, which or- der, under the criminal code of ts.e State of Alabama, is absolutely legal, inasmuch sls there may be some controversy In ref erence to the men being tried on another charge while serving time under the sent ence of one court, and being tried in a different county under different charges, the two sections of the State Code com pletely covering the action of the Com vict Board in this matter are cited as follows:
 Section 4432 t155O-Powers and Duties of President of Convict BOard.-The Pres ident of the BoaTd of Inspectors shall su- perintend the management of the convictS, and all subordinate officers persons, UT guards. 1t shall be the duty to see that the law in relation to convicts and the rules of the State inspectors are enforced; and his orders shall be obeyed by all con- tractors. officers, guards and eonvicts. He has the general oversight of all the off, ccrs and convicts, and of all the land and other property belonging to the several prisons; he may sell by order of the boal d any personal property not needed at the prison and cover the proceeds into the State Treasury to the credit of the convict fund, and may order any convict trans feFred from one prison to another as he may think expedient.
 Section 451 (45Se) (4465) C3T6D (211.)- Under Control of the County Commission ers.-Hard labor for the county shall be under the superintendence and control of the Court of County Commissioners, or Board of Revenue. who shall determine in what manner and on what particular works the labor shall be performed; and

 Vinegar Bend is in Washington Coun- ty.)
 Register Had Editorial.
 The Mobile Register trusts 10 the opin- ion of its local lawyers and declares edl- torially that the men were kidnapped.
 Thls is the editorial opinion of The Re sAster:
 Tt Is reported that by order of the Con- vict Board, the safe blowers. Russell ard Driscoll, were taken from Vinegar Bend stockade Sunday and carried off to Mont gomery by officials of Montgomery Coun- ty, to be tried on a charge of felony. The men were fin prison at Vinegar Bend upon regular order of cout. pending trial in the courts of Mobile County. We understand that there are four counts against the men here. and that the solicitor is con ffdent that they can be proved guilty on all of them; whereas there is but one count against them in Montgomery, and that one is based upon circumstantial evidence. In short, the men can be found guilty of the charges brought in Mobile, but it is very doubtfuI If their guilt fcan be proEed if they are tried on the charge brought in Montgpmery.
 The taking of these prisoners from Vinegar Bend is said to be phase of kid- napping-done by official order, but none the less Illegal If proper steps are taken the return of these men can be enforced. Such is the opinion of several of the at- torneys of this bar'
 A Montgomery Opinion.
 ''It should be said" remarked a Mont gomery lawyer yesterday, that Messrs. Waller and Taylor did not go to Vinegar Bend as Sherin and Police Captain. They went there as deputy convict guards, act ing under orders from the State Convict Department, to remove two men, plainly in the custody of the Convict Department, to a more secure prison. This being the case. it was their duty to use all means at their command to deliver the prison CTS where they were ordered.
 Tn my opinion." he continued. ''the course of Messrs. Waller and Taylor is 1 justified for three reasons. First, no courtesy was due the Mobile l authorities after they held these men on technical charge when they were ac- l cused of committing an outrage on a | neighboring city.
 ''Second-Because of this conduct they had reason to proceed with the utmost secrecy to avoid legal obstacles to delay | them. and,
 ''Third-Because they were acting Gs convict guards. and were not expected to exchange courtesies with officials wnose confessed purpose was to defeat them In their line of duty.
 ''I entertain no doubt of the final out. come of the cases. And the men will be | tried in Montgomery for safcplowing." You can't enjoy life if your lungs trouble l You. PiSn's Cure for Cnnannnnlinn cnres adv

 New York Press.
 The statement by B. Spencer Pratt that he has found in the archives of the French Foreign once minute details of the gift of what we call the Louisiana Purchase by Louis XIV of France to his cousin, the King of Spain. is highly in- teresting. The fact of the gift. however. Is not news. as schooIboys know that France ceded Louisiana to Spain on Mo- vember 8. 1762, and at the same time ceded to England all her possessions east of the Mississippi river except the Island of New Orleans. The Mississippi was made free to both nations. Thirty-eight years later Louisiana was retroceded to France by
