Right of Way Question.

In another part of this issue is not
ice of a mass meeting called for this
evening for the purpose Of getting at
public sentiment on the question OF
whether or not the city should assume
the deficit of some $3O0O.in the Owen &
Northern right of way matter. The
News has stated the elements of the
case as it understands them, aud trusts
that there will be a candid and honest
expression of popular opinion in the
matter at the meeting tonight.
1t seems to this paper that to require
those who entered into the agreement,
not for personal advantage, but for
municipal advancement, to pay this de-
felt. would be not only unfair but i'm
prudent.
There are times when progressive
people who have the means to make as
surance effective, feel called upon to
temporarily assume responsibility that
really belongs to the public. Such oc-
casion arose two or three years ago, and
public spirited citizens came to rescue
and secure for Ladysmith the immense
necessity of a second railroad.
The News believes that the people
will favor public assumption of the cost
of this public necessity. 1t would like
to see it Unanimous.

Official Tyranny Exposed.

The county board of supervisors of
Sawyer county, as appears in the fol
lowing resolution, purposes putting an
end to official tyranny, or at least GER
tain phases of it, in that county. 1t
would seem impossible that such pro-
ceedings should prevail in a civilized
community as that outlined in the
resolution, and yet under the McGill
regime we know of at least one girl
being sent to state institution without
notice to her father who lived less than
four miles from the court house and
was we'll known to all the officers.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, Edward Lamotte and Lloyd
Lamotte, minors aged II and Is years
respectively, were sentenced to the
state reformatory at Waukesha by the
county Judge of Sawyer county, on the
Both day of August, 1904, on the ground
that each of them was incorrigible and
bad, and,
Whereas, each of them is now con-
fined in the said reformatory and will
be kept therein until they arrive at the
age of 81 years respectively, and,
Whereas, we are of the opinion and
are so informed that each of the said
boys is unlawfully confined therein and
that they were sentenced without due
process of law, and,
Whereas, from investigation, we are
convinced that the said Lamotte boys
were not incorrigible, bad or vicious at
the time they were so sentenced, and
are not now, and that if proper trial
had been had Of the charges they would
not have been found guilty thereof,
and,
Whereas, we believe that their fur
Their incarceration is detrimental to
their future moral welfare, and that
they are entitled to their liberty as a
matter of right, because of having
been convicted illegally and in star
chamber proceeding by said county
court,
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the
board of supervisors of Sawyer county
in annual meeting assembled, that the
facts in these two cases be laid before
the governor of the state of Wisconsin,
with request that he take such action
therein as will release the said Edward
and Lloyd Lamotte from the state re-
formatory.

The Mail Order Matter.

While some other towns are damning
the people who, feeling that they are
consulting their own interests, send
away to mail order houses for supplies,
it is refreshing and satisfying to note
that Ladysmith merchants come for
ward with pleasant greetings and say
that they will see to it that no neces-
sity shall prevail for sending away
for supplies. This is to the point and
it is effective. 1t is the kind of har-
mony the News wants to see. 1t is
harmony that is good for the other fell
low too.
Two advertisements have appeared
i'll the News offering to meet mail Or
der prices-for cash, the spot cash de-
manded by the mail order houses.
Those advertisements have proved pro-
fitable to the merchants placing them.
The News will provide space for every
merchant in Ladysmith Tor anywhere
else in the county, who wants to ex-
tend friendly greetings of this kind to
the buying public. This is one way of
meeting the issue-the right way.
The other way, the way for mer-
chants here to leave alone-severely
alone-is to refuse credit or to buy
produce from those who buy even oc-
casionally from mail order houses.
That policy leads Immediately to fric-
ton, strife, enmity, to driving business
to other towns, lessening of traffic,
necessity to increase prices and con-
tinuously increasing aggravatlon OF
the situation. It is the way some
other towns are hurting themselves
sort of commercial suicide, not the
idea of thoughtful, up-to-date, modern
merchants. Nothing is successfully
done unless it is well done.
The way to treat those who, with OF

MEASURES THAT ARE STANDARD
Much Care Taken to Preserve Them
Correctly.

A gallon is exactly ten pounds OF
distilled water; so when housewives
say "a pint's pound the world
around" they are mistaken. The i'm
perial standard yard, which is the
same as our own, is the distance De-
tween two fine lines on a bar OF
bronze, measured at 81 degrees Fan
renheit. The bar is kept mounted on
eight rollers in a special steel safe in
London The standard pound is kept
in a silver-gilt box contained IN
bronze box, the top of which is secure
ly screwed down and the whole placed
in a special compartment OF the same
safe. The German metric system
took the place of more than twenty
local measures. The Hesse-Darmstadt
foot was less than ten inches, the
ScLwarzberg-Rudo foot more
than fifteen.

fOrrnatOry.

A half-wild creature cast from winters
lap:
A vagrant reveler in natures courts;
With wind-disheveled hair she wildly
sports
With twig and bough, surcharged with
rising sap.
In scant and freely flowing raiment
drest,
Her slim brown arms upfung to greet
the rain,
She screams her challenge to the 81
lent plain
And makes of every day crazy jest!
She rushes fiercely down the hillside
steep,
And dashes through forsaken forest
aisles
Where last years leaves lie deep in
somber piles,
And gaunt-limbed trees their endless
vigils keep.
And so tor day her reckless reign ex-
tends;
leased and tormented Nature groans
outright;
Until at last, the madcap thing takes
flight,
And gentle April comes to make amends.

BANK LOSES CASE
supREuE COURT ENDS LONG LITI-
 CATION.
Upholds Decision of Judge sayre that First National Could Not Recover
 From Security of Com
 tractors.

The First National Bank of Mont gomery met with final reverse by the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Mary land yesterday in an opinion of the Alabama Supreme Court, which denied s15, ,000 of alleged damages claimed by the bank on surety bond. The liti- gation had been pending since the fall of 1901.
 In that year, on November g. John W. Hood & CO. contractors, threw up the job of erecting the SIX story build ing now occupied by the bank on Com merce Street. The price agreed upon for the delivery of the bull ling com pIete and bare of vaults and elevator, was $44.00o.
 The Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland was surety for the faiIatvl performance of the contract. The amount of the bond was slo,990. The original contract and the one on which the bond was based, provided that Hood 6 Go on estimates of the architect be- ing furnished for labor done and on delivery of material should receive iu- gtaIlment payments from the bank, pro- vided that as much as 10 per cent of the contract price should be reserved. The contractors, it seems, found themselves without money to proceed with the building on November 25. They were to have completeu the StrucIufe by September i. 1901, of the same year. The bank owners were forced to carry the building to completion with addt- tional funds, when they notified the surety people of the alleged breach of contract by Hood & Co.,, and met with refusal to proceed with the construc- ton themselves.
 It was testified on trial in the Mont gomery City Court where the suit for damages was brought, that the bank had departed from its agreement with the contractors relative to payments, Advances had been made to the builders without regard to the esti- mates of the architect. and the mdtc- rial on ground, 1t was alleged 1t was contended by the surety concern that as it's bond was dependent on and con- stituted a part of the contract with the builders, and this agreement hal been violated, the defendant was no longer responsible.
 Judge A. D. Sayre of the Montgomery City Court upheld these contentious ot the defendant and the judgment was upheld yesterday by tho Supreme Court through an opinion of Justice R. T. Simpson.
 It is understood that the advances of the First National Bank on their build ing combined with the cost of complet- ing 1t, cost the institution more than $15.000,

 The Baptist preachers of Montgomery and adjacent counties met in the study of Rev John Bass Shelton, at the Adams Street Baptist Church yes- terday morning for the purpose of or ganizlng a Baptist Preachers Union for Montgomery and Central Alabama.
 Rev. John Bass Shelton was elected Chairman and Rev. H. R. Schramn, Secretary. Mir. Shelton said the pur- pose of the meeting was to determine as to the advIsability of such union, Dr. c. A. Stakely spoke very earnestly in favor of such an organization. Among many other pointed things, he said, we need to have sort of a Baptist propaganda. If we as pastors do not lead our people in missions and our doctrine, we need not expect others to do it for us. For among the sweet est of them, they really do not love us"
 He was followed by Messrs., Crump- ton, OHara, Townsend, Shelton and Schram on equally as earnest and ringing soeeches. for the necessity of such union among the Baptists.
 After considerable deliberation it was decided to call a meeting to assemble in Mir. Shelton's study at 10:30 a. m., February IS. A committee was ap- pointed to effect plans for permane 1' oHganization. This committee is com- nosed of H. R. Schramn, E. E. George, George w. Townsend, John w. OHara and Charles A. Stakely, D. D.

Fifteen hundred and seventy-one elec- tors of Montgomery county have quail fled to participate in the primaries of the coming summer and the election Of the coming fall

A NEW COUNTY JAIL
CONTRACT IS AWARDED TO THE
 BYNUM COMPANY.
Prison Will be Practically Made Over At An Expense of e0,7As<--
 Work To Bewin At

The B. c. Bynum Construction Com
 pany. of Montgomery, was yesterday awarded the contract for remodeiing
 and renovation of the Montgomery county jail by the Board of Revenue at
 the special meeting held yesterday morning.
 The bid of the Bynum Company was ] the lowest of six bids submitted. This firm estimated that 1t coulds carry out the plans and specifications as drawn by Frank Lockwood, the successful
 architect, for $6s,74s. Under tho con- tract work will begin immediately and
 the jail will be fully renovated and re-
 modelled by December 1, 1908.
 The bids were as follows--ST0, 500 | ss, soc, $Gs,000, $s6,790, $65,74S. All the members of the Board were present and President M. B. Houghton presided. There was little discussion
 as to the bids. The sealed proposals were opened and the amounts compared. On motion the contract was unani-
 mously awarded to the Bynum Company. Work will begin immediately in con- structing an addition to the rear of the
 jail. two stories in height, and thor | oughly drained and ventilated. The addition will be provided with the most
 modern and improved steel cages. As soon as the addition Is completed. work
 will begin on modernizing the present | jail, and the prisoners will be trans | ferred to the new building. Just as | far as possible the jail will be made brand new. Little will remain of the | old structure save the brick walls ana | the cages in the South end of the
 second floor, which are comparatively new and of the most improved pattern. The letting of the contract for the l jail building closes a matter that has
 long been live topic In Montgomery. 1 For years, the various grand juries
 have recommended to the Board of
 Revenue that some steps be taken to ] improve the jail, and many grand tu-
 ries recommended that the old struct-
 ure be completely torn down. No act-
 ion was taken until a scathing report
 on the jail structure was made to the
 State Convict Department by pr. Shir- ley Bragg This was followed by an-
 other strong recommendation from the
 grand jury and then the Board decided to act.
 The plans and specifications have
 been drawn for many months.
