Democrats Win in Mingo.

The contested election cases in
volving the Offices of sheriff, prose-
outing attorney, assessor and two
members of the county court of
Mingo county, were tried at Viii.
Hanson last week before Judge
james Fl Miller of the ninth ju-
dicial circuit, and resulted in a
judgment for the Democrats.
These cases had been decided
by the county court in favor of the
Republican claimants, and the
Democratic contestants took an ap.
peal to the circuit court. It was
agreed between the parties at in
terest that the contest for sheriff
should be taken up and tried, and
that the judgment in that case.
whatever it might be, should be
entered and stand as the judgment
in each of the other cases
The trial was completed Satur
day night, August 26th and Judge
Miller declared 81 b. Williamson,
the Democratic candidate for
sheriff, to be entitled to the office.
Judge Miller held that the election
at Matewan had been conducted
in such an illegal manner that it
was necessary to throw that pre-.
oinct out. This gave the Demo
cratic candidate a majority of IT'S.

came to his attention that the printed
story gave 131 degrees west as the
longitude of the loss. Who made the
change in the longitude he does not
know. Possibly the proofreader, with
some knowledge of navigation, may
have done so in friendly spirit. DIR
Hale says that though the manuscript
was thrown aside many years ago, he
is positive of the fact that he sunk the
vessel on the Andes, a circumstance
which would relieve him from the
charge of misrepresentation. There is
another fact which the general read
er is not aware of. No law of the
United States authorized the punish
ment of perpetually keeping a man at
making it a life sentence. 1t was
pretty fiction, but not the truth.
While I am writing about this grand
wherever the English language is
spoken, I may add that he has given
great satisfaction as Chaplain of the
Senate. The evidence of this is the
publication of his daily prayers be-
fore that body in a volume, without
his knowledge. It was compliment
paid to him by the official reporters.
The sermon which he preached at the
funeral of Senator Hanna is regarded
as masterpiece of eloquence. He is
now a guest of the Hampton Normal
School, as he is every year. He was
one of the chief supporters of the
founder Of the school from the begin
ming. He reached the place on his
eighty third birthday and was receiv
ed with music, flowers and addresses.
At the Peace Congress held in this
city last year in great theater, ]
heard him speak and his voice-in his
eighty second year = reached farther
than the voice of any orator, clerical
or layman. I called recently at the
Public Library for the purpose of con-
sulting one of his books. Of fifteen
written by him, not one was on the
shelves-all were ''out.'
Let me again refer to the Levant.
The sailing of a well-manned ship
from a Hawaiian port into the I'M
known sea and the silence which hangs
over her fate places her story high in
the annals of the Islands. The fate or
three hundred men recalls the weird
legend of the west coast of Ireland. It
is believed by the peasants that at
Whitsuntide, those who have been
drowned at sea rise from the water,
ride madly over the waves on white
horses and with pale faces, thin, long,
outstretched arms, and eyes full of
fierce fire, hold strange revels. Per
haps some day on that vast stretch of
ocean which lies to the eastward of
Hawaii the navigators will see the
ghostly crew of the Levant riding over
the waves and reckoning ships to the
place of their burial.

TO BE TESTED BY A SUIT FILED
IN THE JEFFERSON CIR
CUT COURT.
Suit Is Against the Board of Directors
of the Plum Bayou Levee
District.

c. II. Triplett and Mrs. Kate Trip
lett have each entered suit in Jeffer-
SOC circuit court against the board
of directors of Plum Bayou lavee dis
trict, composed of J. r. Alexander,
John Laster, Ed Favor, N. r. Beak-
ley, J. Swain, w. D. West, Jesse R.
Core. Thomas J. Collier ard Jesse r.
Walt, asking that the board of direc-
tors be restrained from collecting the
!evee tax on their property.
The suit is interesting inthat it
questions the validity of the act of the
legislature creating such board of d.
rectors and authorizing the collection
of such tax. The petition claims
that the act is void.
1t is further alleged by the petitions
cf the plaintiffs that their lands will
not be benefited by the building of
the levee. w. F. Coleman is attorney
for the plaintiff.

an order committing him to the county
poor farm, because of his alleged in
firmities resulting from his confine-
ment on the county chain gang The
county judge. after hearing the case,
granted the desired order. and Smith
was at once sent to the county poor
county physician. Recently Judge Ker-
win made an examination of the ne
gro, and after requiring him to strip
for critical examination of his per
son, decided that his body gave no evi-
dence of any cruel or inhuman treat
ment on the part of the county super
intendent of the convict farm or any
OF his guards. Smith left the county
farm in very delicate health, and he
claimed to the county judge that his
treatment on the farm was solely re-
sponsible for his physical condition.
On the other hand, the county Judge
ascerained that the negro had been
discharged FROM the county farm be-
fore Is time had expired becuase of
his Ill health, and that he had been
furnished with clothes and money at
ter his discharge.
The airing of the matter in the
courts will no doubt bring out all there
is to it and the, case will be watched
with no little interest by the people
of Jefferson county. While loath to
believe in the negro's charges of in
human treatment, the people Of the
county are not generally in sympathy
with the county convict system.

MONDAY TO CON-
PLETE ITS LABORS FOR THE
PRESENT TERM.
The Ladd Case Is the Most important
One for the Jury to lnvesti-
gate.

The grand jury will reconvene to-
morrow for the purpose of completing
it's labors for the present term of the
Jefferson circuit court. While several
new matters have come up recently
for investigation, it is confidently be-
lieved that the jury will be able to COM
plete its labOrs and submit it's final
report sometime during the week,
Most important among the new mat
ters to come before the grand jury
when it reconvenes here Monday will
be the Ladd-Scott homicide case, at
Ladd's Mill. 1t is expected that the
jury will make a Most thorough and
searching investigation of this affair
during the week, and there is no doubt
but that further details of the killing,
which, so far, have been kept secret,
will develop at the grand jury's in-
vestigation into the matter. Mr.. Ladd
will no doubt be given a hearing at
this term of the court, if indicted by
the grand jury.

MEETS WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO
CONSIDER VARIOUS MATTERS
OF INTEREST.
Ore Of Most important Is the Teie-
phone Ordinance IF It Is Reported
for Action.

The city fathers will hold theii oexL
regular session Of the city council to-
i.orroW night Matters of great inn
Eortance to he city are in contc mpla-
ton for the meeting, but whether they
will come up for settlement or not
only the Almighty can tell, as the city
fathers themse' yes can never tell
", at they will L. The new telephone
ordnance has re y been acted upon
yHt, and if the ootCmittne to which it
was referred does not report It at to-
morrow nights sess;ssn there will be-
sin to dawn in the minas of the pabic
generally a strong suspicion that the
committee Is holding mp The ordinance.
According to accepted opinion, this
ordinance should have been reported
he 'ore now, but ( has not. and ther,
IS no indication, ur to the present
time, that it will be any time soon.
Otherwise, if the committee has ever
met and taken action upon the new
ordinance, it has never leaked out for
nublicat;on -4.--ss
1t is said, by the way, that there will
, be several amendments to the ordin-
ance when finally reported to the
council for action. The measure
passed to its second reading at the
time of it's Introduction, and is now in
the stage for discussion, and there is
every probability that it will be dis
cussed to the fullest extent when it
comes up before the council again.
There has been strong reason to be
lieve. that the committee in charge of
! the ordinance at the present time,
which is special one appointed by
the mayor would turn in favorable
report on this ordinance. Their OBJ
iect in delaying action remains unex-
planned.
There may also be other matters
of importance to come before the
next session of the council, but il so
they will have to be new matters, as it
is, understood that the table has been
cleared of all old matters.
