HOUSTON MUST PAY
IS HELD rOR PORTION or HENRY
 COUNTIES INDEBTEDNESS.
When Henry County Was Divided, . Portion of 1t Became Houston County, There Was Debt
 of B10.0O0.

Houston county must pay a portion of Henry county's indebtedness. ac- cording to the Supreme Court, by its opinion rendered yesterday. though Houston county has fought. since it's formation in 1901, such a consumma- ton.
 When Henry county was divided, and portion of 1t became Houston county, by the authorization of the Constitutional Convention of 1901. there was $14.o00 and more in the treasury. and an indebtedness of S10.- 900, chalxed up against Its credit.
 Henry county commissioners fig urei that the pro rata share of the debt, to be borne by Houston county, in accordance with its tax valuations. was $6,s30.4s. and demanded that 1t be paid. Houston county. however. assumed the position that. as the mon ey in the treasury of Henry. at the time of severance. was greater than the indebtedness, there should be no call on Houston for aid in paying the bills of Henry.
 But, after all the litigation. it was held that Houston Is liable. and that the six thousand odd dollars of the debt must be paid.

QUIET OBSERVATION OF
 THE FOURTH HERE

Falling upon Sunday. the Fourth of July will be observed in Montgomery business circles on the day following. The cotton market will, however, take a holiday recess on both Saturday and Monday That this will not greatly inconvenience the market on this side of the water is apparent. for on Sat- urday the cotton market has but three short hours for the transaction of bus mess.
 The banks of Montgomery will ob- serve the national holiday by remain ing closed all of Monday, and with few exceptions it is stated that busi- ness houses of the down town districts will give their employees holiday.
 Other than closing the large busi- ness houses, Montgomery and the South generally. does not observe the day with the noise of fire crackers and display of fireworks as is the case of Northern cities. As a general thing the day is much too warm to indulge in great picnics at which some orator ia listened to by a great throng. That there will be small picnics in and about Montgomery. motor parties to some country resort, fishing parties at the various lakes and streams about the city Is a foregone conclusion. Other than these private affairs there will be no general celebration.
