Col w. c.. Tatom, associate editor
of the Nashville American, who COM
manded the Tennessee troops who cap
tured the Reel Foot Lake night-riders
died last Saturday, just about the
time the supreme court gave them a
new trial, instead of permitting them
to hang as convicted and sentenced
i'm the circuit court. Colonel Tatom
was taken sick during the work OF
rounding up the night-riders and was
only able to be at his office twice
afterwards. He was a TRUE man, a
brilliant editor and a gentleman in
all the word implies.

Alabama Law Decides Case in Mis-
sissipni


jackson, Miss, July 6.-While Ala
ban1a law is not a speciality OF the
Mississippi Supreme Court, that tri-
bunal cites the decisions of that State
as authority, but on Monday a case
was actually decided by the Alabama
law when it was in conflict with the
Mississippi statutes.
The case IN point was that OF the
Southern Railway i'm Mississippi VS..
john T. Grace, from the circuit court
cf Lowndes county, in which Grace
had secured a judment against the
railroad company for personal injuries
alleged to have been due to defect
i've tank, the injuries having occurred
ON the eastern side of the Alabama
line but tried in the Mississippi
courts.
A popularity of the Alabama law,
as distinguished in some degree from
that of Mississippi, is that employees
are treated as are strangers, and If
a defect in such a case is due to neg
Igence of the defendant or its agents
or employees, whose attention must ha
have been called TO the defect, and
who must have then failed to have
remedied the eedfct, these facts must
be, alleged IN the original declara-
ration.
Notwithstanding this provision, the
lower court granted an instruction to
the contrary, which the high court

Thornton read a letter signed by
Representative W. K. Hardce, Of

charged Alexander with appearing
before committee and stating
that he wanted a certain measure
to be reported favorable by this
committee and passed by the House

him a boost in Nolusia county and
that he had arranged to have said
measure killed by the senate, This

accusation was false aWithout foun-
