fight. Sturgiss was elected to the
lower house a year ago and had his first
glimpse of that body on the converting

Brassell made a speech in behalf of the Democratic nominees. Bryan and Kern. He pictured the peerless one as the occupant of the White House after March 4. 1909. and then the country would be free from the despotio sway of the Roosevelt ad- ministration. The speaker also re- ferred to the fact that the classes had grown rich at the expense of the mass es, and one of the main triumphs of the Republican Party was the founding of a burial place for the American sol dier boy over in the Pacific Ocean, the Philippine Islands.
 Attorney Morgan D. Jones made a brief speech on loyalty and harmony within the party ranks. MT. Jones. being somewhat of a politician himself, sees nothing but success awaiting the Democratic Party.
 Messrs. Dent and Pierce also made speeches.

 Denton was shot and dangerously wound ed by McCorkle when the three officers were attempting to arrest him for selling whiskey on a house boat and the question which is puzzling the court is, whether the south or west bank of the Tennessee River where the shooting took place is Mississip- pi or Alabama territory. The contributions of the two states fixed the line at the south and west bank. while the act of Congress creating Alabama out of what was the Mississippi Territory, gave the boundary of Alabama coming ito" the Tennessee riv- CT. Unable to reconcile these conflicting boundaries. Judge Almon left 1t to the jury to decide whether the shooting was done in Mississippi. in winch case the of- ficials were out of their jurisdiction and the act unlawful. or whether 1t was in Alabama, in which case the circumstances would determine whether or not it was justifiable.
 The best legal talent in Florence and Tuscumbia are engaged in the case which is ping watched with interest by the en- tire Florence bar.
