MING0 POLITICS
Election at Williamson--Ef
fort of Republican Ring to
Fool the Temperance PEG
pie Failed Miserably.

The election at Williamson re-
suited In an overwhelming rebuke
for the political mach.ne known as
the "renegades." 1t was recognized
az desperate effort wan they came
out on strictly mora; platform AMI
promised to turn their backs on all
they had ever done in the pas. and
IL is not surprising NlIt the TEN
perance and church people. both
Democrats and Republicans, refused
to trust them A writer IN the Daily
Telegraph this morning explains the
situation in a nutshell.
Editor Daily Telegraph:
Having noticed several news artl.
cles in your paper aneat the munlc.
ipal campaign in Williamson, whi,n
terminated yesterday, all Of which
were evidently inspired by some
Williamson writer interested in the
success of the Republican ticekt, out
OF fairness, will you not publish
brief statement of "the other side"
The contest here was a straight party
fight, and the nominations all made
In regular party conventions. The
Republicans, who have always been
the wet" people IN this city AMI
county, made no nominations until
the last possible day allowed by law.
and then put mp a tic1et on a dry
platform and made overtures to the
church people and Anu-SaloOl
League to come in and help them
win. They made very poor head way.
and got little OF actual support from
any OF the sources above referred to.
A good part Of the regular Republj-
can support was withdrawn from the
ticket when developments became
known. The election was almost a
farce. The norman Democratic ma
jority In Williamson is something
l5ke 100. In the election yesterday
although little campaigning was
done, the Democratic candidates re-
ceived majorities approximating 900
out of a total vote Of 400. The re-
suit does not mean a wet" major
ity of that size by any means. and
Is no test Of the temperance senti-
ment in this little city II does rep
resent, however, the answer OF our
people, regardless OF politics. to ,he
attempt OF a political ring to play
morals to gain their end.

UNUSUAL POINT
Can the Accumulated Earn
ing of a Minor be Held for
Debts of His Father?

Huntington, April 3.---Can the
accumulated earning OF a minor be
held for the debts OF the minor $
father? This question was brought
up in the court of MagisssTse Gregory
this morning In the case OF the
Huntington East Land Company VS.
Henry Jackson. Sometime last year
the plaintiff corporation secured
judgment against Jackson, who Is a
negro and resides at Guyando.te, for
the sum OF $3.50. No settlement
was made Of the judgment and Con
stable Bevan levied on horse which
he pre-umed to be the property of
the defendant.
Then came Otis Jackson, alleging
that the horse was his, having been
bought by himself and wit hmouey
which he earned. In court this morn
ing f.. f. Williams, attorney for the
land company, admitted the claim OF
ownership made by the younger Jack
son but raised the point OF law that
father is entitled 20 the earnings
of his minor children and that the
horse was, ipso facto, the property
Of Henry Jack-on and liable for his
debts. John w Perry, attorney for
Otis Jackson combatted this theory
vigorously. Both attorneys asked
for an extension Of time in order to
produce authorities.
