GOT HIS MONEY.
The New Deposition Made Quick Work
With His Check Book.

With His Check Book.
During financial stringency a
Swedish farmer in one of the middle
west states had sold some hogs on the
local market and upon receiving his
check i'll payment Immediately went to
the local bank to realize on his sale.
Upon presentment Of the check the
banker said to him, DO you wish the
money on this checkT'
well. l tank l yust so veil take him."
was the quick reply.
"You really want the money!"
yah; | tank l take the NONE
.But do you really need the money"
asked the banker.
We'll, no; don't exactly need him,
but | tank take the NONE"
"Well," said the banker, IF you real
" want the money of course I will
give it to you, but l thought if you
did not need it perhaps you might open
IN account and deposit the money and
then check against it as you needed
It,"
"Den ven / send my shecks here you
will refuse to pay DEM"
"Oh. no, we won't. If you open the
account, we will pay your checks
whenever they come in"
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said, well, if you pays my
shecks, den l open de account" And
the account was opened and passbook
and check book handed to the new GUS
toner.
Half an hour later close friend OF
the new depositor appeared at the
cashiers window and presented @
check signed by his friend for the full
amount of the deposit, which was
promptly paid by the banker without
comment.
In about an hour the Swede appear
ed and, walking up to the cashiers
window, handed the banker his checl
book minus only one check, with thu
remark, well, 1 don't tank l needs
him any more."-Youths Companion.

FIGHTING THE ALABAMA LAW
COnstituiOEality Of Prohibition Meas.
ure to be Tested.

Birmingham, Ala. Jan. 6.--While
several writs Of nandamus have been
filed in various counties Of the State
against probate judges TO compel them
to issue licenses for saloons. il was
learned today that the petition Of the
liquor interests at Decatur in Morgan
county, will be the first to reach the
supreme court. The writ of mandamus
Is sought on the ground that the local
option law is unconstitutional because
it IS local instead Of a general law
and was not sufficiently advertised be-
fore passage. The cases will be heard
by Judge Speake Tuesday and will b.
carried to the supreme court at once
as cases from the eighth district are
next on the docket.

LYON WANTS MONEY.
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS gr,
NEEDS $4,000
10 prosecute the Suit Against the
southern Railway i'm the Celebrated
Merger Case-Will the Legislature,
Furnish the Money.

columbia, Jan. 6.-Attorney Gem
erai Lyon, in his report to the gener-
al assembly. makes the following
comment and recommendations CON.
cerning the celebrated merger"
suit:
IN pursuance Of the authority Civ
en- by the legislature at its Hast Sos.
sion' employed Messrs. Bellinser g.
"eich as associate counsel
Ihe case was called for trial he
iore Judge j. c. Klugh on the 9th
day of December. 1907. An order
was passed allowing the State to with.
draw its complaint upon payment of
costs. This action was taken for Sou,
erai reasons, among which are tho
following:
FROM what the attorneys for the
State can gather. from the nrohab,o
evidence in the case as it at presen,
appears, the pleadings will be mora
satisfactory if reformed. It is he.
ileved that with sufficient finds ev;-
dence will be obtained to establish the
facts that the leased lines are com.
peting and parallel within the mean.
ing of the constitution, and the Stare
would be at great disadvantage If the
case should be tried on its mer;ts
without further opportunity TO estah-
lish the true facts.
1T is believed that in manv IN.
stances positive financial damage IL
being done the people along the lines
or the roads held under the lease.
THE State finds itself confronted
with a number of the most prominent
railroad attorneys Of America, and a
thorough organization on the part Of
the railroad for collection Of its evil
dence. AS a matter of fact, the rail-
road is privy to all of the facts in
the case. while the State must ferret
them out as best it can. The State
under present conditions, has not the
money necessary to defray the ex.
penses ot collecting the evidence on
its part.
III this case is to be litigated seri-
ously' an appropriation of no less
than $4,000 should be made for that
purpose and for payment of associate
counsel fees. If the legislature is not
willing tc appropriate sufficient funds
70 give this case full and thorough
trial, it would be best to discon-
tinue it.
1T is my opinion that the lease held
by the Southern railway should not
be confirmed as the result of trial
which would necessarily be little bet
ter than sham with the means at
my disposal at present for the prepa-
ration Of the case"

Orangeburg, Jan. 2.-The county

The board is composed OF John S.
Bowman. Jr., chairman; w. B. Fogle

The decision Of the board. which was
unanimous, Is as follows:
1--WE find some Irregularities in sew
eral books. such as voting outside of
right precinct, not demanding proper
proof OF payment of taxes. etc., but
we find there are not enough of these
irregularities to change the result of
this election.
We further find that about IS or
more qualified electors. residing with

ty Of Calhoun, including portions of
Orange. Goodby's and Popular town
ships. were deprived OF the cons,itu-
tional> bright to vote In this election,
as the said electors are residents of
the proposed new county, while their
voting places are without, and the
act Of the legislature relating to rh,
formation of new counties does not
provide the means or the opportunity
to vote in such cases.
w" therefore Ind that in tlepriving
these qualified electors of the right
to vote the constitutional provision
has hcen violated. and on this ground
We i, hereby declare this election null

1t is presumed that the Calhoun
county advocates will appeal to the

take tho matter to the supreme court.
