velE as reprehensible condition existing,
and I'VE unhesitatingly place the blame
npoa the sheriff. We have found with
disgust that he has been very diligent in
fixing traps for and spprehending poor
negroes and poor white men and poor
crip9les, who have occasionally sold a
little liquor. while no effort has been

or places should again open and the sher-

plicstion be made to the governor for
his removal and the appointment Of .
man in the sherift's office who will per-
form his duty faithfully and without

Chief Of State Geological Survey Sell
lards, was in the city today having come
down to investigate the spouting well on
Lake Fairview, and spent some time
watching its strange actions. Mr.. Sell
lards was Of the same opinion Of q num-
bee Of those who have watched the phe-

years record in number Of bales turned
