There was a slight wreck on the
Hidalgo branch Saturday night
about half a mile this side of Mer-
cedes, when two freight cars were
thrown off the track through some
mistake on the part of the switch
man. The accident occurred
about 1880 p. M, am it was not
until about three a. NJ, that the
derailed cars were removed from
the track, requiring the combined
efforts of the train crew and such
of the passengers as were able
bodied and willing to help. There
were thirty passengers on the
train, who had anything but an
enjoyable experience that night.
As the regular through train could
not be held at Harrington, the train
from Fordyce was run straight
through to Brownsville, after the
wrecked cars were removed from
the track, reaching here at 5
O'Clock Sunday morning with a
weary load of passengers and train
men.

The Equestrian Today.

With regard to their family life,
the. Zoroastrians at Yezd are mo-
nogamists, except in a few isolated
cases where Mohammedan influence
has led to polygamy, especially if
the first wife has borne no chilGssn.
The sentiment of the community as
a rule is strongly against dual mar
riages. In the home the wife occu-
pies a freer position than among the
Mohammedans. There was no evil
dence of seclusion, and the impress
sion the women gave was one of
modesty and dignity without any
special shyness. Like the men, they
have to adopt a particular style of
dress to distinguish them from
Moslem women. They do not wear
wells except on the street or IN the
bazaar to avoid insult or unpleasant
remarks.-A. Y. Williams Jackson

the county shall borrow $3.50, 600,

McCracken county this or next year.
This is the stand County Attorney
Alben Barley takes. and he will
make such a report to the fiscal court
at the next meeting, a special ses-
sion to be held the latter part of
January.
County Attorney Barley bases
his opinion on section 157 OF the con-
stitution of the state, but explains
that It has been widely construed by
different courts, even by the appel
late court. He had been reviewing
the constitution and statutes, and ar
rived at this conclusion Saturday.
Section 157 of the constitution In
part reads: mo county. city, town,
taxing district. or other munlcipali-
ty shall be authorized or be permit
ted to become indebted in any way.

amount exceeding, in any year, the
income and revenue provided for
such year, without the assent Of two
thirds of the voters thereof, voting
at an election to be held for that
purpose; and any Indebtedness con-
tracted in violation of this section
shall be void. Nor shall such con-
tract be enforceable by any person
with whom made; nor shall such
municipality ever be authorized to
assume same"
81 take this to mean literally what
Il says" said County Attorney Bark
ley. 1.-THE clause makes It plain that
10 the county is Indebted to the limit
of its income, the question Of bor-
rowing more money will have to be
placed. before the voters. There Is a
clause in section 15S, which says,
that If at the time Of the adoption OF
the constitution, any county Is in
debted to the limit, It may by vote
exceed this amount by 1 per cent. OF
the total assessment, which in Nc
Cracker county will mean about
500, 900"
County Attorney Barley was d.
rected by members Of the fiscal court
to investigate the law. 1t is desired
generally that better roads be built,
and the plan to borrow money SEEM
ed to be the only recourse. 1t Is pre-
sumed the magistrates will order an

GRIPS LOST.
Drunken Owners Set Them Down

more grips and suit cases were
lost by drunken owners this Christ

pile Of correspondence on the desk
of Baggagemaster William Flowers.
"This correspondence is all about
grips" he declared, "and not in one
case has the road been at fault.
During Christmas week drunken
men set tneir grips down in the bag
gage room without consideration OF
the warning that the company would
not be responsible unless they were
checked. More claims, l venture
have been placed in the head bag
