MUST TAKE UP TRACKS
COUNTY SERVES NOTICE ON
 TRACTION COMPANY.
At Instance of Perry Street Citizens Board of Revenue Revokes
 Franchise and Demands
 Abandonment of Roadway

A notice was yesterday prepared by Captain John G. Finley, attorney of tho county of Montgomery commanding the Montgomery Traction Company to take up and remove all tracks, switches turnouts, etc, from that part of the ex. tension of Perry Street over which, a fran chise was granted the company by the Board of Revenue.
 Captain Finley said that the notice would be served either today or tomor- row. The notice cals the attention of the Traction Company to the resolution pass cd by the Board of Revenue on Monday, August 10, revolxing the franchise on Per ry Street for failure to comply with con- ditions in the franchise to keep the road way in perfect order and that the tracks should be located in the centre of the street
 It will be remembered that several weeks ago, a number of citizens of the extension of Perry Street. headed by Fred S. Ball and Dr. c. A. Thigpen appeared before the Board and requested that the franchise be revoked on the ground that the company had not fulfilled the condi- lions of the franchise as to laying the track in the centre of the roadway and keeping the street in repair.
 Representatives of the Traction Con- pany asked for time on the grounds that its force of worixmen were busy at other points, but as soon as they were disen- gagged the condition would be remedied After waiting two weeks the franchise was revoked.

 HELD IN sERvITUDE.
Geneva County Negro Allowed Writ of Habeas Corpus by Federal Court and Peonage Case
 May Result.

Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States Court for the Middle District of Alabama yesterday granted a writ of habeas corpus in the case of a negro, S. H. Enfinger of Geneva County, who ayers that he is held in peonage. The writ is returnable at noon on August 22.
 The petition for the writ ayers that Enfinger was arrested in February, 1902, on charge of enticing labofers from per- sons with whom they were working under contract. It further ayers that, without trial in court he was turned over to AL bert Driver, who told him that he had paid Jasper Turner. by whom he was ar rested, $57 as ascompromse of the case. Driver, he declares, forced him to work out the debt. He worked for Driver un- til June 1903, when he was transferred by Driver to Edwin Register for financial consideration and by Register, the negro says he is being held in a condition of involuntary servitude.
 The United States District Attorney is of the opinion that this case may develop into a violation of the peonage statutes.

ADVANCE IN ADVERTISING.
Frank Presbrey Tells How Ameri,
 cans Iaad in the Art

Frank Presbrey, of New York, the we'll known advertising agent and Vice-Presi- dent of the Association of American Ad- vertising Agents, in recent lecture at Chautauqua on the Evolution in Adver- Using, said: Advertising Is as old as the human race, but 1t has two histories, the history of advertising as an institution, and it's history as an art. The history of the art of advertising began yesterday, but advertising proper runs back through the ages and into the haze that hides the beginnings of humanity. Advertising in our own country began with the estab- 1ishment of news )crs, and America may fairly claim to 'c developed advertis- ing as an art 4e development of ad- vertising is very recent. a matter of less than twenty-five years. Advertising has wrought revolution in the periodi- cal literature within the last two decades and has brought down the cost of news papers, giving us more of them and en- lagging their circulation and influence. We are a nation of advertisers. America also leads in the excellence of it's adver- tisements from an artistic, as well as lit- erary, standpoint It is one of the mod ern manifestations of a part of our ma chinery for living, and it is improving the lives of the masses by cheapening luxu- ries and teaching their uses."

The Newport News is either a will
full liar or cannot understand plain
English. The LEADER has favored
Binger Hermann as the successor of
Congressman Tongue since the termi-
nation of the Senatorial contest, and
endorsed the gentleman in the plain
est kind of language in its issue OF
February 81. We did not favor Mr..
Hermann for United States senator,
because there was never any evidence
shat he was a candidate, but we do
hope he will be returned to the lower
house. Indeed, we are so anxious for
his success that we sincerely hope the
News will change its mind and oppose
him Judging by the past, that will
somewhat increase Mr.. Hermann's
chances.

THE LEADER has not the space at this
late henr.tQ reply to the lengthy effort
of M4&54F& kins in detail, but will re-
sumeatAB Subject next week. We will
now state, however, that a contract
between THE LEADER and the county
court does exist; that there is no law
demanding that such contract shall be
in writing drilled with the county clerk.
We have already explained that Mr..
Hawkins was very careful not to file a
bid until he had reason to believe the
contract for publishing the tax list had
been let, and also that he failed to
make q showing as to circulation. II
the law, as quoted by Mr.. Hawkins,
says the tax list shall be published in
the newspaper most likely to give
actual notice to delinquent taxpayers"
what legal right would the county court
have to enter into a contract with a
newspaper that made no showing as TO
circulation? Next week we shall pre-
sent our readers with d few figures on
Ibis interesting subject.
