JUDGE JAMES GOULD
GRANTS AN APPEAL
Judges Authority to Send Coun-
ty Prisoners Outside of Jefferson
County to BE Worked. y

An affidavit and q petition for an
appeal from the action of County
Judge James Could, in letting the
contract for the hire and working
CT the Jefferson county prisoners foI
the coming two years. was filed yes
teruay by Attorney S. NJ Taylor OF
the firm OF Taylor and Jones, as
counsel for John NJ. Oracle. one of
the unsuccessful bidders. The petit
ton was granted by the county
Judge.
Judge Gould recently let the con-
tract for the working of the Jeffer-
son. county prisoners for the ensu-
ing Two years to j.. b. Auburn Of
Lake Village, Chicot county. Mr..
Amburn bid in addition to offer
ing to provide all necessities such
as food, clothing, etc. for the pris-
oners, was to pay thirty-two and a
hall per cent OF the fine in each case
to the county. Judge Could says
the bid was the best submitted and
that he let the contract to the Chi
cot county planter because he
deems it for the best interests of
Jefferson county. The other bidders
were John NJ. Oracle, who gave
notice that he would contest Judgs
Gould's right to send the convicts
out of the county, and Joe A. Frank
lin and C. e. Tnlipot.
Mr.. Taylor stated last night tnar
the appeal from Judge Gou.I 5
court would go to- the Jefferson CIR
cult court. He declined to d's"uss
the matter, merely stating that MS
client wanted the matter settled aitG
that was the Object in contost'nS
the new contract. Several prisoners
have already been sent to Mr. Am
burn at Lake Village and the new
contract is therefore in effect at
this time.
ed States court at Little Rock re-
Gently held that county prisoners
could not be sent outside of the
county where there were app1i-
capts for them who wished to work
them inside of the county where
thew were convicted. The Supreme
Court, LAWYERS assert, has defined
the statute as meaning that the
county shall be saved expense in
1yeaping them within its bounds. r.
is commended nv Mr. TAYLOR THAT FIJI q
law does not antihoriza or infond
fom the county iudge to let the con-
srant with view to making monev
fo~ the county.

Another Move to Head off
Dispensary Receivers.

The State: Gov. Ansel yester-
day notified the various county
boards that any money due the
State dispensary commission for
supplies purchased from that
body must be settled with check
payable to the State Of South
Carolina through the State dis
pensary commission and to no
one else. No settlement or any
demand from any receiver will
be recognized by the governor or
those in authority. This is quite
important, as it follows his letter
warning banks to pay no funds
without orders from the com
mission.

Mothers Brutal Treatment
of Her Own Child

Columbia Record: A plank about
eighteen inches long and four or
five inches wide was evidence in
recorders court this morning as
having been flung by Sallie John
son at the head of her six-year-
old child, who is now suffering
from the wounds that will proba
bly, be fatal.
Angered because the child was
restless, she locked it up in the
closet of some neighbor. The
child's screams tormented her.
She gave it freedom, but thrash
ed it soundly little later. Then
she placed it on the steps of her
porch and when the child eyinc-
ed signs of rest!essness, she reach
ed for the plank and hurled it
with might and main at the head
of her child.
The wounded child is being
cared for by a neighbor, but it's
condition is grave. The mother
declared that she was merely
"scaring" the child to make it
behave and the plank introduced
in evidence was not the one
used.
The woman was fined $40 or
sentenced to thirty days in Jail.
She will be held in Jail pending
the outcome of the illness of the
child, and if the wounds prove
fatal she will be tried for man
slaughter at the next term of
the court of,general sessions.
