INJUNCTION TO
STOP LAND SALE
Probabilities Are That Opponents
to Auction OF Rustburg Prop
crty8Will Appeal to Court.
THINK THIS ONLY REMEDY
Judge Barksdale Has Been Con.
suited on the Matter-Effort
to Restrain Treasurer.
fspeclnl to Tho Times. r,Ispn.eb. !

Especial to The Times- Dispatch
LYNCHBURG, VA, January 1.-The
probabilities are that the sale OF real
estate advertised to take place at Rust
burg on January 14th, tho opening day
OF tho winter term OF the Circuit Court
OF Campbell county, will not take place
as was contemplated some weeks ago.
Indeed. II some way cannot DO found to
stop the sale bill will be filed in few
days before Judge Barksdale, asking for
an Injunction order to restrain County
Treasurer John w. Clay from exposing
tho property to sale.
It was thought by some that q single
piece OF property could be offered for
sale. and when this should have been
disposed OF the sale could be postponed
until tho controversy that has arisen
might be settled. It turns out. however.
that the law provides that the sale can
only be postponed from day to day
Until the delinquent property is all dis
posed OF. The resort to an Injunction.
therefore. seems to be the only remedy.
Have Investigation.
1t Is moro than probable that the same
bill which will nsk for tho restraining
order will contain a petition for the APP
pointment OF commission with power
to investigate the delinquent land list,
with view Of purging 1t from the many
erroneous Items. It may be, however.
that this will not be tho procedure to be
decided upon. and that an order will
simply be asked for when the court will
have convened this month.
Mr.. J. c. Woodson. the we'll known
real estate agent OF this city, who has
made n careful Investigation OF the land
advertised to be sold for the non-pay-
ment OF taxes, declares that fully 20 or
50 per cent. OF the charges on the ad-
ycrtised list are erroneous. and the lots
in question should have never been ex-
posed to a delinquent tax sale, and that
the State. therefore. did not possess the
right to buy this realty In when there
were no other purchasers
1t is known that Judge Rarksdale has
been conferred with in reference to the
best method to stop the proposed sale.
and those In touch with the situation
believe an Injunction will be the method,
and that n commission will then be
named 10 investigate the list and make a
detniled report for the purpose OF re-
Having the land in jeopardy from taxes
assessed against 1t in an erroneous
manner.

AMERIKEARNS CLUB AGAIN.

The Amerikearns club met again
last week. Upon this interesting oc-
casion the Honorable Hiles-Dininny
presided, a sort of Siamese twin per-
Torrance.
The chairman announced that the
meeting would be entirely devoted to
the discussion bf political reform,
something for which the great Ameri-
kearns party was well and favorably
known around the headquarters of the
party and the Tribune office, but no
where else. He said Mr. Kearns is in
favor of reform to the remotest sec
ton of his expanding frontier. He
had been converted to reform as
soon as he was knocked out for SEN
ator, and was now a reform para.
noiac." He had pledged his sacred
honor and some other things to con-
tinue reformer until he was once
more senator. The memory of the
halcyon days when he meandered
around the senate living, breathing,
actual senator, with pages galore to
wait on him, and galleries of people
to stare at his rotund and profound
senatorship haunted him like a ghost
of unfinished glory. Now he was re-
duced to where he was only an OBJ
ject of wonder to the prize bulls on
his Santa Rosa landscape. 1t must
be changed. Tom must again be
senator. The magnificent bay win
dow expanse that precedes his comely
person must again be stared at in
senatorial halls
Mr.. Moran said he was always for
reform, keep on letting contracts
boys" said he, "and l will continue
to be reformer."

The late reverend Phineas T, Bar
mum made the discovery early in life
which laid the foundation for the i'm
mense fortune he was unable to take
with him when he crossed the divide,
the said discovery being that the
American people are easy. Not only
that, but they remain easy. If any
agency of mankind could have cured
them of this weakness, it must have
been Barnum himself, for surely he
worked the lead with all its lips,
spurs, angles, sinuosities, etc, for all
it was worth, and then some; but the
public is just as gullible now as in the
great showman's palmiest days, per-
haps even more so. A few days ago
some sport-loving people of Califor-
MIA with few from other places paid
over $4,000 to see Canadian brui-
ser do things for two minutes to an
unknown quantity labeled as a pugi-
list from Australia. The ego" was
advertised as for forty-fve rounds,
but the payers failed to see one COM
plete round. At the same time a
couple of meal ticket champions"
pulled a goodly crowd together at
Ogden and split the air in each others
direction for four rounds and a frac-
ton, the reward therefor being prob
ably some hundreds apiece. Now if

be a subject justifying extended COM
