NEGRO PRIS ONER BROUGHTJNHTS
CAPTOR DRUNK.

FITZGERALD, July 1S.-One of
Ben Hill county's deputy sheriffs
went TO Macon the first of the
week to bring back negro held
in the Macon jail at the request
of our sheriff. This morning the
prisoner came IN on the train
bringing the deputy so drunk he
did not know where to get off the
train.
The negro states that the Macon
officers turned him over to the
deputy who proceeded to take in
the town, and narrowly escaped
being arrested for dlsorderly con-
duct. They succeeded in making
the train for Fitzgerald, and when
they reached here the negro had
the deputy, his grip, revolver,
handouts and quart of whisky
all in his charge. The deputy was
so drunk he refused to get off the
train, and had to be taken off by
force by the police; and was taken
to the jail, where he now is. No
one here knew that the negro was
prisoner until the police were
putting the deputy in Jail. when
he touched one of the officers on
the arm and said, Hole on, boss
| goes in there too" and they lei
him go in.
And that is what whisky does in

LEGISLATURE ORDERS ARREST OF
NASHVILLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL

Nashville. Tenn. March 1G.- The
house of representatives of the Ten
nessee legislature yesterday ordered
the arrest of Mayor Thomas o. Morris
and 23 members of the city council for
contempt. The speaker of the house
issued the warrants last night, and the
men will be taken before the bar of
the house Monday.
The alleged contempt of which the
mayor and city council was guilty con-
sisted in its adoption of a resolution
accusing Speaker Cunningham of will
full falsehood and malicious SANDER"
Depends on Technically.
The guilt or innocence of the mayor
and council depends on construction
of the Tennessee constitution. Under
article 2. section IA, either house of
the legislature may punish by impris-
onment any person, even though not 4
member, guilty of contempt in its pres
Ience.
The city legal authorities insist the
last three words relieves the city coun-
Gil, because the alleged contempt was
not committed in the presence of the
house. The legislature relies on the
common law and on precedents from
other states to support its action.
How the Quarrel started.
The trouble began a month ago, when
the legislature had under discussion /;
bill to permit telephone companies tc
enter the city and occupy its streets
without permission of the council.
The Cumberland Telephone company
has a monopoly in Nashville under :
contract with the city council, givins
it the sole privilege of operating il
Nashville in consideration of its pay
ing into the city treasury $4,000 ;
year and conforming to certain stipu
i lations in the matter of charges, etc.
