the benefit of wholesale prices
The mode of operation is % ind
out what the mem bers of the or

the supplies for all at one time.
A Representative of the organ

Referee In Bankruptcy
Sets Aside Sale OF
Chair Factory.

H0g,. Jno. a Davis. referee "a
bankruptcy for the Northern Dis
trict Of Mississippi. on last u ed
nes9ay set aside the action Of the
trustee in selling the property Of
the defunct Columb bus Chajr'CO.
for ten thousand dollars. Read
ers of THE DISPATCH will remem-
Der that this property was sold
III public 0utcry some time since
by Col G.. l. Lincoln. the trustee
in bankrup ptcy, and that it was
sold to Mr.. l. H. Sykes. secre-
tary Of the Progressive Union
who bid in II for the sum men
toned. A mum Der Of the credi-
tors. through their attorneys
excepted rtC the sale, and Referee
Davis came here last Wednesday
for the purpose of hearing these
exceptions and rendering his Il
nal decision in the matter.
The hearing was begun at the
court house at ten o'clock last
Wednesday morning, and nearly
the entire day was consumed in
taking testimony aud jstening TO
the argU ments of the attorneys
representing the various credi-
tors. There are quite nun Der

eign. the largest local creditors

Bro. Among the other attorneys
who represent other -arious for
eign creditors and who We're
present at the hearing Monday
are MAJ. p. c. Belts, Mr.. W. I.
Stribbling and Capt Neville, Of
Meridian. The cOu1entiOn OF
attorneys was that the price
brought by the property at the
recent sale was ridiculously low,
and was out of all proportion to
the value Of the plant Accord
ing to the inventory furnished
by the officers of the defunct. the
property which sold for ten
thousand dollars is worth about
forty Thousand, while according
to the appfaisers, who pat an ex-
ceedingly low value en- every
thing. it Is worth twenty two
thousand. After having careful
" considered the evidence Ref
cree Davis decided that the price
for which the property sold was
unfair and inequitable, and he
accordingly nullifed the sale, as
the law gives him the right TO do.
Trustee Lincoln was ordered TO
resell the property, and the sale
will take place some time about
the first of May, the law provid
ing that thirty days notice be
given before a sale of this char
acter is made,

Three Cars for Use on
Street Railway Have
Arrived.

Three cars for use on the elec
/ trio street railway have arrioed
and other cars, which are now
being built for the com pa2y in
| St. Louis. will De shipped as soon
as com pleted, The care, which
are already here, are of the open
pattern, and are interted for
use in the SKINNER, when the
weather is fee. The cars now
/ being built are of the com bLna-
tion variety, and can be used in
! either sum prer or winter. All OF
the cars TO be useG here are
/ thirty feeu in length and Of the
single truck pattern On many
of the lines in the larger cities
dou ole track ears are in use, but
owing to the fact that the local
street railway line contains a
mum Der OF rather sharp cures,
it will be practicable to use
cars of tbis kind here.
Now that the lire is practical
! lg completed and the cars here,
it IS nat1ral to suppose that the
operation of the road will soon
begin, and every one is anxious
to know when cars will begin
running. Mr.. Heard. the presi-
dent Of the COM pany, was asked
this question by a DISPATCH re
porter in a recent interview, and
ia reply stated that 1t was i'm
possible to say .jast at this time
exactly when the cars would
start. The com pany has recent
~ decided 10 build half a mile
more of track than was at iii st
intended, it having been deemed
wiser to continue the lne right
into the park than have it stop
near the car barn. as was the
original plan. In order to com
plete this half n2ile of track, ad-
ditional material had TO be order
ed, and some of this material
has not yet arrived. The rails
aud cross ties are here, but the
trOlly wire has not yet come. and
of course the operation of cars
can not begin until this wire has
arrived and been placed ia posi-
tiOn.
It is to the interest of the com
pany to begin operation at the
earliest possible moment, as the
sooner cars begin to run the
sooner will revenue begin to
come in. The construction of a
street railway. however, is no
small undertaking. and many un-
fOreseen obstacles which caused
delay have been encountered.
The line is nearly com pleted, the
cars are here and the COlum bus
Light and Power Co, which is 10
furnish the power to operate the
line. is ready to turn on the cur
rent at d moments notice, so it
will not be very long before the
much talked Of street railway will
be IN full operation.

BORED WELL. IS DRY. PLAY BASKETBALL.
Water No Longer Flows
From Well Corner of
Main and Mark ct.

Many pedestrians pass the cor
ner of Main and Market streets
each day. aud all vino passed the
intersection of these two promi
nent thoroughfares Thursday
afternoon noticed that the bored
well which is located there was
dry and that crepe decorated its
waterless spout The we'll ceas-
ed to flow abou.t noon. and soon
thereafter some facetiOus citizen
aft xed thereto "a large piece of
black Grape, thus evincing that
the whole city mourned the fact
that the we'll had run dry
Upon inquiry it was found that
the cause which led the we'll to
cease to flow lay in the fact that
the same stream or strata of wa
ter had been struck in boring a
we'll at the plant of the Indepen-
dent Cotton Oil Co. in East Co
lumbus. A coincidence Connect
ed with the matter is that one OF
the principal officers in the In
dependent Cotton Oh Co. IS Mr..
Samuel Kaye, who about eight
years ago bored the we'll at the
corner Of Main Il d Market
streets. which has just run dry
as a result of the boring of the
new we'll at the oil mill. Mr..
Kaye was at that time in the we'll
boring business, and bored the
Main street we'll under contract
with the city.
There has been bored well at
the corner of Main and Market
streets almost as long as the old
est living citizen can remem Der,
The Well which was formerly To-
I'D there was few feet west
of the present well, and ran dry
in 1898 as the result of the bOr-
ing Of another well, just as was
the case in the present instance.
The city entered into a contract
with Mr.. Kaye to bore a new
well, which, as stated above, was
sunk some eight years ago and
ran steadily up to last Thursday.
The fact that the bored we'll
has gone dry has occasioned a
great deal of comment. The well
has always been a source Of jest
among those who are accustom-
ed to idle about the prominent
corner at which it is located. 1t
has often been facetiOusly re
marked that no one who ever
drank water from this well could
remain away from COlum bus for
any length of time. and like many
things that are said in jest, there
seemed to be a great deal of truth
ia the statement.

Los CT Court Affirmed.

The Supreme Court has af-
firmed the verdict of the Circuit
Court in sentencing Feb Rich
ardson and Morgan McCarty to
imprisonment in the State peni-
tentiary for life. Richardson
and McCarty are the two negroes,
who together with Buster
Lang, were convicted of the
murder of Levi Shaw at the No
vember term of Circuit Court.
Shaw, who resided on the plan
tatiOn of Dr. J. D. Mccullough,
a few miles east Of this city, was
killed early last fall. and Lang,
Richardson and McCarty were
arrested on the charge of muir
der, Lang admitted his guilt
and said that the other two
negroes were also implicated ia
the crime. Richardson and Nc
Carty denied their guilt, but all
three negroes were convicted ia
the lower court and sentenced to
i'm prisonment in the penitentiary
for life.
Mr.. W. T. Stribbling, who
represented Richardson and
McCarfy took an opnooI 70 tho
Supreme Court, and recently
argued the case before that
tribunal in Jackson. He was
confident that the verdict of the
lower court would be reversed
and the case remained for a sec
ond trial. He was disappointed,
however, as the Supreme Court
affirmed the verdict of the lower
tribunal.

Mr. Levi Wilson died at his home in Wilmar. Ark, Dec. 18th 1903. Mir. Wilson was 50 years and 3 days old lie spent most of his life in Drew county eeand was well known throughout it. As q man he was unassuming, true to his convictions at all times and of unquestioned honesty add integri ty. As friend and neigbbor he was all that the words imply. He knew what friendship was and ex, emplihed it's meaning in his every day life. To his neighbors he was d neighbor indeed. In sickness in time of need he was always ready to lend q helping hand. He had studied the meaning of citizenship, knew its responsibilities and en- deavored to use it at ali times for the best interest of the county and state in which he lived.
 In the home he was all that hus- band and father could be Kind and considerate at all times, he liv, ed for his family. His desire was  that he might live for his wife aud children; but was submissive to the Masters will and said If it i8 the Lords will am ready"
 In his death the county has lost one of it's best citizens; we have lost one of our best friends and neighbors; his wife and children have lost a loving husband and father, but we comfort ourselves with the hope that what is our loss is his gain.

There is q great deal of dissat- isfaction about the normal win ter condition of the public roads. The public highways have be come, constitutionally, bad. In fact, they are nearly all almost impossible during the winter and spring months. Our people have hitherto. unmurmuringly voted and paid the road tax, with the hope of securing better roads; but they have been most grievously disappointed In. stead of getting better roads, for their money, they are getting worse ones, until now the cry comes: Vote down the tax This, however, is not the reme- dy. The experience of the past four or five years has thorough ly demonstrated the fact that grading the public roads, in this part of the country, is a failure; but as it is apparent to all that good roads can only be had by work, properly done, and this requires money, 1t Is necessary to continue the tax, but apply a different remedy to the roads. The road overseers have, in most instances, done
 their duty, as they saw it. and under tue grading system, as nearly every body, believed would solve the road problem. The roads have been graded and rounded up; but the sequel shows that this will not do; or, at least, is not enough. What else IS necessary the future must determine. The practical men of the county should meet and discuss the road matter If the proper effort is made we believe the difficulty of bad roads can be overcome. That something is necessary, all admit, but voting down the road tax is not the remedy.
