Two Negroes Ran Into and Turned
Over Judge Parks Surrey.
Two negroes who evidently had
been in intimate association with a
tiger of the sightless species were in
a reckless mood as they left the city
Saturday about noon. They ran into
Judge Parks surrey, which was
standing in front of his residence on
Lee street, and completely turned it
over, breaking the shafts and other
parts. A negro girl who was sit
ting in the vehicle at the time was,
fortunately, not hurt.
Judge Parks will pay reward for
the two negroes, who were going east
and driving a dark bay mule to a
buggy without a top, and one of
whom seemed to be older than the
other.

MEETING OF THE RExALL MEN

Druggists Handling These Remedies
Hold Convention in Boston.
The Rexall men of America held an
interesting session in Boston a few
days ago which was largely attend

enjoyable ever held in the Hub City.

More than 1900 representatives

For

The polls were not opened in the
Forks district, hence there were no
returns from that precinct.
The total number of votes cast on
the City Court question was 705
while no voters, as shown by the
other returns, went to the polls and
voted for candidates for the various
offices. For some reason IS voters
did not care to vote either for or
against the court.
Wanted a Recount.
Several lawyers were present at
the consolidation, and when it was
learned that the result was so close
they wanted the returns opened and
the votes recounted.
ure The law he said, prescrib bed
the method by which a contest could
be begun and a recount of the bal
lots secured if there were any who
desired to institute proceedings.
Judge Cheatham posted a prOcla-
nation at the court house door Fri
day morning declaring the result of
the election, and also prints it in
this issue of The News. The proc
amation, after reciting the result of
election, declares that the court will
stand abolished on December 9th,
1910, in conformity with the law sub
hitting the question to the voters.
Claim Court Is Not Abolished.
Some of the attorneys of the city
claim that, on account of the word
ing of the act submitting the ques-
ton to vote of the people, the court
was not abolished by the election
Wednesday. 1t is pointed out that a
clause in the statute provides that
the act abolishing the court shall
not go into effect until it shall have
been approved by a majority of the
qualified voters of the county, which,
II that is the proper construction of
the act, would require nearly 700
votes to abolish the court, as there
are but few less than / 400 register
cd voters in the county.
Senator Irwin, who was the author
OF the abolishing act, says it was the
plain intent of the law that major
lty OF those voting on the question
OF the court should determine its
late, and that it has been so under
stood all the while. He contends
mat there should be no question that

court.

Moon Fclipsed Tonight.

There win be total eclipse of the
moon tonight, at a time convenient for
observation and visible in all parts of
the United States The moon enters
the shadow Of the earth at 5i44 p. m,
eastern standard time, this being the
beginning OF the eclipse. During the
next hour and eleven minutes, the moons
light is gradually merged in the shadow,
until by 6i55 the eclipse becomes total,
The moon remains within the shadow of
the earth until 7;47, when it begins to
emerge, and the eclipse Ii over at s:5s.
The whole eclipse lasts little more
than three hours.
Half an hour or so before the moon
reaches the shadow, its eastern limb
begins to be sensibly darkened, and the
edge Of the shadow itself, when il is
first reached, looks black by contrast
with the bright part of the moons sur
face To the naked eye, the outline of
the shadow appears somewhat sharp, but
seen with small telescope 1t seems
hazy and indefinite, while with a large
instrument of high magnifying power
it is entirely indistinguishable.
After the moon has wholly entered the
shadow, its disk usually glows with a
dull, copper coIored light, due to sunlight
