R. D. QUIsENBERRY TO
INVESTIGATE SUIT

Secretary Wilson. of the National
Department of Agriculture. has Issued
an order. whereby a suit was filed In
the Nashville. Tenn. federal court.
against twenty-six cases of Georgia
cane syrup manufactured by the South
ern Syrup Company. OF Montgomery
Intelligence of the action of District
Attorney Tillman. OF Nashville, was
received In Montgomery yesterday
though no details. and Manager Quisen-
berry left last night for Nashville to
investigate the charges.
"The United States against twenty
six cases of syrup" Is the style of the
suit which. 1t Is supposed. grew out
OF an analysis by government chemists
which revealed a percentage of glu-
cose not stated in the label on the
syrup
It Is believed by the Montgomery au-
thorities. that the discrepancy Is due
to the fact that many Of the cases of
syrup were labeled wrongly, during the
rush of the busy season, and
that the labels were mixed as to grades
of syrup.
The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1909-07-20

the course Of the argument, the at
torney used many high sounding le-
gal phrases such as "nunc pro tune,
"nolens volens". "amicus curiae", etc.
The Judge, who, by the way. was not O
lawyer, seemed to get very angry as
the lawyer INDUCED In. these latin
phrases. At the conclusion OF the
lengthy argument. the Judge said in a
very determined manner, addressing the
plaintiffs attorney; sir. I don't give
damn about your hume pro tuncs",
your "nolens volenses', or your ami
cuss curis". I am not going to sign
them bonds"
1.-THE announcement aroused the anE-
err of the lawyer, and he jumped up
and started for the Judge, who quick
ly reached under his desk and pulled
six shooter and held 1t on the as
tonished limb OF the law.
"As quick as fash. General For
rest. who was sitting near the Judge,
grabbed the pistol from his hand,
caught him by the collar, dragged him
from the bench and very quietly said I:
wall jedge, l don't care a damn
whether you sign them bonds nunc
pro tune, nolens' volens, or amicus
curl; you are going to sign 'em. Come
along in here with mel" And the
General led the Judge into an ante
room, where they remained about a
half an hour.
when they came back into the
court room, the Judge was smiling and
at once signed the bonds.
What took place In the little pri-
vate conference. between General For
rest and the Judge will never be
known.

Ante-Bellum Bonds
Paid By Greensboro

When the town of Greensboro paid
$1,000 on Saturday. toward retiring an
ente-bellum bond issue, it was fulfill
ing an obligation made by Hale coun-
ty, forty years ago. to do its part to-
ward the construction of the Cfncin-
natl, Selma and Mobile railroad.
The 100000 In bonds were Issued, by
the county, General N. B. Forrest, the
great Confederate cavalry leader, who
was then in charge of the construction
Of the railroad, the total amount for
Greensboro being $4,000. The pay
ment reduces the city's indebtedness
to $1,750.
The payment of the installment re-
calls an incident in which the belli-
gerent and determined qualities of
General Forrest were shown. Yerby's
history of Greensboro tells the incident,
when Forrest was working every effort
to gather the money for the railroad.
The bonds were authorized, but the
probate Judge. opposing the issue. tez
fused to sign them. OF what develop
ed, the history says:
after the $4,000 worth of bonds
were printed, the Probate Judge re-
fused to sign them, as required by
law. General Forrest employed an at
torne and demanded to be heard in the
probate court in regard to the mat
ter
"a session OF the court was called.
the probate Judge took his seat on
the bench and the Generals lawyer
arose and made a very learned and ex-
haustive argument on the subject Of
the judges duty to sign the bonds. In

The first flight lasted 25:1s, during
which time the aviator circled the pa

half times. The second. which con-
tinued until darkness. prevented Mr

COMMITTEES NAMED TO LOOK INTO
THE NATTER.


Montgomery's new City Hall looms
up prominently after last nights
Councils meeting, Discussion Of the
proposition came up upon more than
one occasion, reaching a climax when
q restitution was adopted by the Coun-
ell. to the effect that q committee be
named to Investigate the advtsabiltty of
disposing Of the present City Hall
building. ana OF buying property else
where on which to erect . modern city
building. ~
The resolution was introduced by
Alderman Virgin. and provides for q
committee OF three. to consist of the
President of the Council and two other
members. The body is to report its
findings to the Council at q subsequent
meeting.
The new City Hall proposition is the
contamination of several weeks OF dis
cussion as to the disposal of the stores
below. the present building. discus
sion on which entailed the problem
OF shifting officers from ground floor
to upstairs and all about.
The resolution is. as is recognised.
of tentative nature. strictly. but Is
Significant In that u indicates the dis
position Of the Council. The vote
adopting II was unanimous.
Alderman Thompson, In o speech
during the first Of the meeting. voiced
the apparent opinion Of most OF the
Council.
aIt Is too late" he said. ito enter

err situation for the various Offices

Hall altogether. It will be not more
than year before defnite steps are
taken toward the attainment Of new
city building :"
His utteranoe was almost prophetic
In the light. of the Subsequent resolu-
ton.
Earlier in the meeting a report Of
the Market Committee. was intro
duced providing that the stores In
be rented at the same figures as for
this year, with the exception OF that
now occupied by Meehan g. Morris. for
which S66 per month will be charged.
1t also provided that the corner store
be rented. except for the space parti-
toned of in the rear. which shall
quarter the office OF the Sanitary De-
partment. IL needed.
Alderman Saul wanted to move the
pfice of the City Clerk and Treasurer
Into the corner store. telling that, as
many people visited daily that ONCE. II
should be placed conveniently for the
visitors. The long. dark stairway
was dangerous and tnconvenient. ne
said. and he cited the instance OF q
decrepit old woman. g taxpayer. who
was unable to climb whore they were.
!. Alderman Thompson asked that the
committee report be adopted. and said
Ithat the arrangement Included In that
document was found. after considera-
tion, to be the Rost advisable. AZ the
same time, he stated that new City
Hail was the most essential thing.

TAFT WILL NOT
STOP IN MOBILE

washington, July 1s--(speciai.)--
President Taft today Informed Senator
Johnston that after all It would be I'M
nossibIe for him to stop In Mobile on
his return from. the Far West next fall.
He had lately been looking carefully
over his itinerary and found that he
would be compelled to omit Mobile.
This is apt to prove disappointing to
the people there. especially as President
Taft practically accepted the invitation
when the Noble committee. headed ny
f,olonel z. L. Russell presented the In
vitation several weeks ago. 1t Will be
recalled that in the report of the press
associations ten days ago, which was
authorized by Mr.. Taft, Mobile was not
on the list of Southern cities TO be
visited and 1t was then supposed to be
merely an accidental omission.
