After the occurrence yesterday Mrs.
McAlister stated that services had
been held at the prison while the Ma
tioal w. C. 7. U. was in session here.
On the first Sunday in April she spoke
to the officials about having services
there regularly, and was told, as she
understood it, that she could hold such
meetings on the second Sabbath In
each month.
In accordance with that under
standing she visited the prison the
second Sunday in last month accom-
panied by Mrs. Bradford and other Ia
dies. and had meeting, talking to
, five or six hundred men,
Yesterday was the second Sunday

the prison to hold another service, but
was told she could not do SO. She was
informed that she misunderstood what
had been said, and that she had not
1 been given permission to hold a meet
ing the second Sunday in each month.
At the meeting in April Mrs Nc
Alister says she asked all of the five
or six hundred men who attributed
their prison sentences either directly
or indirectly to whiskey to hold up
their hands, and that fully 80 per cent.
did so. She also told the men that
while it was true that they could not
vote that they had friends to vote for
candidates for the legislature who
would enact favorable liquor laws
Mrs. McAlister wanted it understood
that she was not getting into politics
but she considered it her duty to dc
what she could in the interest Of abol
ishing the whiskey traffic, and was
therefore for Carmack and any Others
who would favor the cause.

COLE BROS. GET
BIC JUDGMENT
RECOVER NEARLY $4,000 FROM
THE COLUMBIA WATER &
LIGHT COMPANY.
INSUFFICIENT WATER PRESSURE
The Case Has Been Twice to the
Highest Tribunal in the
State.

One of the largest and most impor-
tant DEGREES ever rendered in the
Chancery Court of Maury county was
handed down Saturday when Chan.
cellor Bearden gave Judgment for tho
plaintiff in the suit of Harris & Cole
Bros. VS.. the Columbia Water & Light
Co of Columbia, the estimated amount
of the judgment and interest being
about $4,000.
This was a suit brought by Harris
& Cole Bros. as a result OF the disas-
trous fire over nine years ago which
destroyed the greater part Of the
plant and lumber of the Columbia
Pump Factory, one of the plants own
ed and operated by the plaintiff, which
has headquarters at Metropolis, III. 1t
was claimed that the heavy loss result
ed from a lack of water pressure, the
pressure being so low that the firemen
could not successfully fight the fire.
Suit was filed in the Circuit Court OF
Maury county for an amount aggre-
eating about $4,000.
III this first suit it was claimed that
the firm of Harris & Cole Bros. was
corporation. In its answer the de-
PENDANT admitted that the plaintiff was
corporation, but claimed that its
charter of incorporation had never
been filed in Tennessee and that there
fore it could not sue in this state as
corporation. The case was carried
to the Supreme Court on this point
and that tribunal decided the question
in favor of the defendant.
Suit was then filed in the Chancery
Court by Harris & Cole Bros as
firm, the statement being made that.
the firm had existed as a corporation
but the charter had expired by limi-
tation. The Water & Light Co. fought
the suit on the grounds that the SUI
preme Court had already decided the
matter in controversy and that suit
could not again be sustained me
question was carried to the. Supreme
Court and decision in favor of Har-
ris & Cole Bros. was handed down and
the trial ordered in the lower court on
the merits of the case.
The decree handed down Saturday
gives Judgment for the loss sustained
on all of the property north Of the
railroad together with interest at SO
from 1899, the time when the first
suit was brought, and an order OF ref
erence to determine the amount of the
property loss was issued 1t is said
that the amount of the property Will
reach about $4,000, and the interest
at So for nine years would increase
the amount to about $4,000. An APP
peal will doubtless be taken by the de-
PENDANT.
Court adjourned Saturday until the

mort that negro had made an assault

low negro who seized her and from
yhom she succeeded in breaking

her mother at the house by her
shrieks.
Bloodhounds were brought to the
ce frc~l Lawre' ceburg and put

Elmo Howard. Miss Allen was not
able to say positively that he was the
one who assaulted her. He claimed
