CARELESS

Nrontromery. July 6.-(SpeciaL)-In mold
ing the act of 1873, fixing title to swamp
and overflow lands, to be valid, the su-
nreme court established title to many
thousand acres of valuable lands on the
prlf coast in the state, the value OF
which is enormous. 1t had been argued
that titles could not be conferred by the
act because the act sought to not only
establish in cases of sales already made,
hut those in course of making. How
ever. il is held that the act is good ana
that in every case where purchase from
state agent is shown the title is good,
even though there are no patents.
John Woodson, charged with assault In
Jefferson county seems to be victim OF
the carelessness of his lawyer, as there
are no exceptions shown in his case, hence
the supreme court had to affirm his case.
There is nothing to show in the evidence
that force was used, and there Is every
reason to believe that If the record had
come down in the proper way there would
have been reversal. The supreme court,
however, has appellate Jurisdiction. not

There are two old wells near here that
were stopped up some time since. Also
there is a well three miles southwest
of this place. In view of the facts that
to drill for oil here would not be much
of venture as it has been demon

probable that there will be some de-
