his argument at the evening session
Mr.. Owen closed the argument fol
the State, and delivered a speech
which gained for him praise frou
both the court and members of the
bar, having reviewed the testimony
in such a manner as to bring out
clearly and forcefully the strong
points against Green.
The case was finally given to the
jury about nine o'clock Friday night
and after having remained out all
night a verdict acquitting both Mr.
and Mrs. Green of the charge against
them was brought in Saturday morn
ing.

On Thursday a greater part of the
day was devoted to the trial of the
case of F. NJ. Jacob VS.. G. r. Smith
executor of the estate of T. j. Smith.
Mr.. Jacob repaired the roof of a
building at the corner of College and
Sixth streets for the defendant, and,
according to contract was TO have re-
ceived 500 for the work. 1t was
claimed by defendant that in his con-
tract Mr.. Jacob obligated himself to
stop all the leaks in the roof, and
having failed to do this payment was
refused. 1t was contended by Mr.
Jacob that he had fulfilled his con-
tract, and suit for the amount in
volved was instituted. The case was
tried first before Justice of the
Peace Beverly Matthews, and was
won by the defendant. Upon being
to the circuit court the case
was won by the plaintiff, the jury
having returned a verdict awarding
him the amount called for by the con-
tract, together with interest and

It is said that news of the proposed
warehouse has brought about quite a
boom at Steenson. The Southern

WORK OF GRADING
TO BEGIN SOON
s. Nj. BUSH. OF MERIDIAN, HAS
BEEN AWARDED CONTRACT
FOR GRADING ON A. AND
IT. v. LINE.
Has Contract for Grade Work Be-
tween Columbus and Buttahatchie
River, and 1t Is Said that Work
VIII Begin This Week.

From a reliable source it is learned
that the contract for grading the line
of the proposed Aberdeen and Tom
bigbee Valley Railroad between Co
lumbus and the Buttahatehie river
| has been awarded TO Mr.. S. VI. Bush
of Meridian, and it is stated by par
| ties who are in a position to speak
authoritatively regarding the matter
that he will begin work within the
next week.
Mr.. Bush has recently completed
contract in Arkansas, and it is
stated that his outfit has already been
shipped to Columbus and will arrive
here within the next few days. He
will not start from this place, how
ever, but will begin at the point
where the line crosses the Butta-
hatchie river, and work this way. The
reason given for this plan of opera
ton is that the line for six miles
north of this city has not been per-
manently located. Several prelimi-
nary surveys have been made, and
il has not yet been definitely decided
which will be finally selected by the
directors as a route for the road.
The line south of Columbus seems
also to be somewhat in doubt. The
preliminary survey follows very
closely the line of the old Forrest
Railroad, which traverses the section
east of the Tombigbee river, and it
was generally thought that this route
would be selected A director OF the
company states, however, that the
people living west of the river have
come forward with a very fattering
route may be shifted so as TO traverse
land which these men own. Should
this course be finally adopted the
road will run down the west side Of
the river to point about six zai-ss
below here, where it will cross the
stream and proceed southwark to-
wards Pickensville.
For the reasons stated above, no
site for the local terminal station has
been selected. It is not yet known
just ACAS lAC lOdO " III enter TIC
city either from the north or from
the south, and consequently the de-
pot site cannot be determined upon.
The officials of the company assert
most positively that the road will be
built, and seem to be working with
that end in view. AS has already
been stated in The Dispatch, the
franchise granted by the city of Co
lumbus provides that one-fourth of
the grading within the borders Of
Lowndes county must be completed
by the first of the coming July and
that the road must be in operation by
January 1st, 1909, and as the time
limit will soon have expired it be-
hooves the projectors of the line to
do some tall hustling if the franchise
is retained and the fifty thousand dol
lar bond issue voted by the people Sc
cured.

COAL PROBLEM UP
FOR DISCUSSION
Short Line Officials Stop for Meet

ayers car and stopped off to
talk over the coal situation with
the local people. The officials
were met at the depot and es-
corted to the Commercial club
rooms, where an informal dis
cussion took place, the immedi-
ate effect of which was to es-
tablish a friendlier feeling and
bester understanding on all
sides. Mr.. Plaisted acted as
tht principal spokesman for the
company and stated in sub
stance that the company was
and is ready at all times to haul
coal here or elsewhere, but that
it had no control whatever over
any of the mines and could
haul coal only when ordered to
do so. He stated further that
so long as the company had any
coal of it's own and there was
urgent need of coal here or else
where, it would gladly divide
up the stock, but that at the
present time it's stock was good
for but twenty-five days of it's
own use. The present pros
pect, he stated was for the re-
sumption of operations at the
mines at once and he believed
that shipments could be expect
ed soon.
The party left west bound
just ahead of No. 5 and passed
through, returning, today.

one ticket OF delegates was put

that this was due to any other
reason than lack of contest. The

in the matter of the selection of
county attorney, he was not al
together pleased and it is even
limited in some quarters that
there is to be considerable
ticket scratching on election

right. AS a further token of
esteem, Garrett was again in
stalled as chairman of the Cen

to name his secretary and
