FARMER HELD DOWN.
In Germany He Cannot Wed With
out Getting His Landlords
Consent.

in Germay a farmer cannot
marry without the consent of his
landlord and this is not always
easy to obtain. Very often a farm
er has to purchase his landlords
consent to MS marriage and many
Of the>poorer land owners add a
good deal to their incomes in this
manner.
Numbers of the large German
territorial magnates can compel
their tenants to work for them in
a number of different ways. On
several estates in Germany the
tenants who axe tradespeople
have TO give their services to their
landlords for nothing whenever
he may require them to do so.
In Spain these peculiar priv
ileges of the landed classes are
confined altogether % the nobil-
ity. A man without a title in Spain
should he be in the position of a
landlord, which is rarely the case,
has practically no control over his
tenants and often finds it hard
even to recover his rent.
But the Spanish mobiles are en-
dowed with immense territorial
powers.

their tenants for any criminal of

with the exception of murder. A
Spanish nobleman, however, can
not infict a longer term of impris-
onment of any of his tenants than
two years without having the sen.
tence confirmed by the Spanish
government, before whom must
be laid all the particulars of the
case and the nature of the evil
hanee against the prisoner. If the
sentence appears to be unjust or
unduly severe the government can
order the prisoner to be tried in
the ordinary manner before a
judge and a jury,

POLICE ARREST
MANY "UNKNOWNS"
POLICE OFFICERS HAVE A BUSY
TIME CARING FOR THOSE HELP.
LESsLY DRUNK-THERE WERE
TWENTY-sEvEN ARRESTS MADE

The unknown" list at the city jail last
night was the largest in the history Of
the department. according to the MEM
DRY of the Oldest police officer,
From Afternoon until midnight twenty
seven charges of drunk and disorderly
were preferred and registered on the
docket. Those too drunk to intelligently
give their names, were docketed "un-
known"
The officers got busy in the afternoon.
The drunken men were brought In one
by one. After supper several were brought
in pairs, and about midnight hour, six
came together, one Immediately behind
the other.
Judging from this record last night was
bowling success for the whisky dis
penser The policemen seldom arrest a
man intoxicated If there exists a chance
of his plotting himself homeward with
success. The officers state that numer-
Gus men were escorted a. certain distance
on their homeward way and only those
helplessly drunk, or who waxed disorder
ly, were taken in custody. And still the
number was twenty-seven.
OF that number, nine were white men,
while twelve oolored prisoners were lock-
up. Six women were among the number
only one, however being white. The night
while being quiet from a general police
point of view, was notable in this particu-

THE sHRIEvALTY MATTER.
Judge Stiles Has Until Tomorrow to
File Contest.

If there is to be a contest over the
sheriff's election no papers have yet been
filed and tomorrow is the last day on
which such action may be taken.
Judge J. P. Stiles said yesterday that
he had nothing TO give out concerning the
contest. The inference is that no decision
has been reached in the matter. Nor was
there anything for publication to be had
at the Higdon headquarters, except an
implied position of the Higdon forces rest
ing on their oars and accepting the result
of the election as declared by The county

regarded as having its basis in conjecture.
