Now For Sewerage.

The present common council have in
view the starting of big improvement
in sewerage system for the city before
their terms of Office expire. The report
of the board of public works when
adopted calls for the issuing of bonds
for the laying. of-the main-sewer through
town, connecting with Rock river. This
improvement is estimated to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. When this is completed
the city will be divided into sewerage
districts and the intercepting sewers
will be laid at the expense of the prop
erty owners benefited. The council is
proceeding under law that sanctions
this method that will in the end give the
city complete system. The need of
such an improvement has long been ap-
parent and unless something unforeseen
happens work will be commenced this
summer and probably good share of
the work completed this year. The
question might have been submitted to
a vote Of the people at the spring election
but fearing it might not receive the
sanction of popular vote the council
decided to assume the authority they
have by law to proceed under the meth
cd above indicated.

Shareholders May Sue.

In the federal court at Atlanta
Judge Newman rendered decision IN
the case of Daniel W. Smith and
others against Bird NJ. Robinson, w
A Wimbish and others, which, in eff
feet, gives the right to the sharehold-
ers Of the Atlanta National, Southern
Home and Interstate Building and
Loan associations to sue the parties
named in their bill filed on November
ri, 1903.
Judge Newman holds that the share
holders have a perfect right to sue
and that the defendants named must
be brought into the suit and made par
ties to it,
The bill filed on November 81 al
leges that Bird M. Robinson, of New
York, as a shareholder in the associa-
tions and an expert in such matters,
recommended a receiversrfp for the
building and loan associations; that
w A. Wimbish of Atlanta, had him
self appointed attorney for the re-
ceivers, who were w. A. Henderson
and John T. Pendleton; that VIM
bish recommended that the bid for
the unadministered assets of the as
sociations, submitted by the National
Finance company, of New York, be ac.

cepted, and that this company, haV-
ing never been chartered, was nothing
more than a dummy organized by
Wimbish and Robinson to buy these
assets. The bill further alleges that
sums of money aggregating $4,000
or more, which were turned over by
the receivers to Wimbish, have never
been satisfactorily accounted for.
A short time ago the defendants
fled a demurrer to this bill, claiming.
in substance, that the shareholders of
the association had no right to bring
action against the associations and the
receivers. They also took exception to
certain alleged scandalous allegations
made against them in connection with
the Baltimore Building and Loan asso.
citation. Judge Newman sustained the
last demurrer, but held that the share
holders had perfect right to bring
suit.

To Test Peonaqe Laws.

A mass meeting of Triton citizens
was recently held in the city court
hall for the purpose of taking action
on the peonage case of S. M. Clyatt,
which has been certified by the United
States circuit court of appeals in New
Orleans to the United States supreme
court for information. The case, as al
ready mentioned in these columns, is
the first conviction in many years, I'M
der the United States peonage laws,
and arose from Mr.. Clyatt having two
negroes who had left his employ ar
rested in Florida under warrants from
this state on charges of gambling and
larceny. Five thousand dollars is re-
ported to have been pledged towards
securing the best legal talent in the
country to see that Mr. Clyatt's side
of the case was properly presented to
the supreme court An effort will be
made to employ Mr. Elihu Root. Every
turpentine operator and saw mill man.
as well as every one employing labor
in this section, feels that they are af-
fected by Judge Swayne's construction
Of this law, and take vital interest in
the case.

The case was tried twice in Dade one

viii Withdraw Injunction suit.

Attorney General John G. Hart has
gone to Washington to represent the
state in the injunction proceedings
against the Ducktown Copper mines at
Ducktown, Tenn. It is these mines
that have been issuing the fumes that
have destroyed a great deal of vegeta-
ton in Georgia. Arrangements have
been made between the state and the
mining companies, however, to settle
the suit, as the companies have agreed
to us another process in roasting the
metal. Attorney General Hart will
probably withdraw the suit when it
is called.
