Whiskey in Sandwiches,

The sale and distribution OF
the whiskey sandwich is the lat
est method of evadiug the liquor
laws in the State of Alabama,
says Birmingham special.
Loaves of bread cut aud arrang-
ed like oyster sandwiches are
sold ovec the counters In lunch
looms presumably operated for
that purpose, a bottle of whiskey
cleverly arranged between the
layers of the bread.
1t is said that questionable
Inch rooms have sprung up all
over the state, IN which these
contraband goo d S constitute
practically the total bill of fare.
Tha discovery of the whlskey
sandwich was made by the war
den at the Birmingham Jail, who
took it into his head to examine
an apparently innocent sandwich
which was brought to the Jail for
one OF the prisoners by a relative.
Upon opening the loaf a bottle
of whiskey was disclosed. A
rigid Investigation was then put
on foot which resulted in the dis
covery that the whiskey sand
wich is already an important ar
ticle of commerce.

An OId-Time Darkey.

usko Herald will bring to the
minds of several of our older
citizens a type of the old-time
darkey who is just passing away.
"Uncle Orange" Nash, who is
referred to in the clipping below
is an old negro who evidently
belonged to the late Stephen
Nash, of Lowndes county, father
Of Gen. Wiley N. Nash OF this
city:
"Old Uncle Orange Nash, an
honest, old-time darkey of Leake
county was in the city this week
Beyond a doubt Uncle Orange is
the Oldest man in the state, being
over one hundred years old. He
was brought to Mississippi be-
fore the admission of the state
into the union, somewhere about
1872, his mistress, the widow
Nash, settling first on the Tom
blgbee river near where Colum-
bus now stands. He can't tell
the year he was brought to Leake
county, but many years before
the war, and states that only a
few settlers lived on the road
from the present site of koscius-
ko to his home ten miles south
of here. He is the father of 10
children and doesn't know the
number of grand children and
great-grand children, but thinks
they foot up into the hundreds.
He is in fairly good health and
vigor, with his mind perfectly
clear, and promises to live sew
eral years longer.

'Ex POLICE CHIEF
WANTS MONEY BACK
George N. Whitman Asserts He
Was Cheated Into Investing
$4,000 in Business
Charges Concern Is Heavily in
Debt and That Sum Was
Secured Falsely

Ex Chief of Police George W. Witt
man asserts he has been bitten in a
venture he made into the carriage har-
ness business, and yesterday he filed
SUIT IN the superior court against Jacob
George Liebold and the California ve-
hlcle and harness company for the re-
turn of $4,000 which. he asserts, he
was cheated into investing. Liebold,
whom Whitman charges with making
false statements in order to defraud
him of his money, is indirectly con-
nected with him by marriage Witt
man says he has known Liebold many
years and had implicit trust and conf
dence in him.
Having been "a years a police officer,
and, therefore, unskilled in business
matters Whitman alleges that he was
easily induced to believe the alleged un-
true statements of Liebold, whom he
describes as IAN acute, skilled expert
enced man of business
In March, 1907, Liebold was conduct
ing a business at 1916 Golden Gate ave-
nue.. Whitman asserts Liebold urged
upon him the desirableness of investing
IN the business, telling him that the
monthly profits exceeded $3.50, some
times running up as high as 81 600; that
the only Indebtedness was $4,000 due
the Western national bank, for the re-
payment of (which the bank was not
pressing; that the goodwill and stock
were worth $4,000. and that the busi-
ness was about to be incorporated.
Whitman says he agreed to purchase
1000 shares in the company, which was
incorporated about that time for
$4,000 In part payment he delivered
to Liebold $4,000 in three installments
$4,000 on March 27. $1,000 on May %
and $4,000 on August 31-he says.
All the statements made by Liebold
to induce him to invest were false and
made with the intention of cheating
him out of his money Whitman as
serts- The company is wholly in
solvent and makes no profits whatever,
and its Indebtedness exceeds $25, 900,
he declares. Whitman sues for the re-
turn of his $4,000 with interest. No
certificate of stock was ever issued to
him, according to his complaint.

Keen interest was felt in learning
the contents OF the will, but the only
person in court besides the judge. court
attendants and Brown was Attorney

REFUSES DIVORCE
TO CHICO WOMAN
Judge Graham Declares Resi-
denCe of Three Months to Get
Decree Is Not Laws Spirit

The courts of this city have their
fun measures OF divorces and they
should not be made the dumping
ground for those who may have Just
cause for divorce in the county and
community where they reside. but who
hesitate TO file their action there from
fear of the notoriety and publicity
which the trial may create. and seek a
distant place where they believe they
can obtain a speedy and quiet di-
vorce"
This statement was made by Judge
Graham in a decision handed down
yesterday denying Florence A. Voss a
divorce from Carl c. Voss, although the
evidence was sufficient to warrant a
decree in her favor had not the Judge
formed the opinion that she came here
from Chico last May solely for the pur-
pose of obtaining a divorce. The hus-
band did not contest the suit, which
was filed September ). The decision of
Judge Graham states:
Before tue adoption of section I29
Of the civil code, which provides that
a party must be resident of the
state of California for one year and a
resident of a county for three months
Immediately preceding the commence
ment OF the action, reproach had been
brought upon the administration of our
laws DN lilE frequency OF the
proceedings begun by complainants in
counties where neither party resided,
the purpose, OF course, being generally
to avoid notoriety in the community
where the plaintiff was known, and in
many instances to obtain a divorce by
collusion, or to make it impossible or
inconvenient for the defendant to pre-
sent defense.
The state has an interest in the
result OF all divorce cases. The public
welfare demands that the bonds of
matrimopy. should not lightly be set
aside, and there is less probability of
successful or unfair advantage in a
county where the parties have both re-
sided and are known than there is in
county where neither party has re-
sided, and which the plaintiff may Sc
lect for tie purpose solely Of secur-
ing a divorce. 1 am of the opinion
that the plaintiff in this case came to
this county for the sole purpose of
obtaining a divorce, and is not a bona
fide resident within the meaning of sec
ton l29. The application for divorce
is denied"
Suits for divorce were filed yesterday
by Bertha Ferry against George Ferry;
cruelty and habitual intemperance.
Marie Baney against Robert Bailey. de-
sertion; Edith /. McCubrey against
James Harry McCubrey, cruelty.
