vided-Ladies to Attend-Looney

The speaking campaign in Madry
county, so far as the Independent jul
dietary campaign is concerned, viii
probably close on next Monday, Au-
gust 1. when Hon. Gus Enloe, railroad
commissioner and the heavy artillery
from an oratorical standpoint, will
speak in Columbia.
Mr.. Enloe will speak In Athenaeum
grove, which is the very best possible
place that could have been secured
The opera house Is too small to con-
tain the crowds that will come and
the fair grounds too far from town.
A stand will be erected under the
beautiful shade trees at the grove.
and seats viii be provided
The speaking will begin promptly
at o'clock and the distinguished ora
tor will be introduced by Judge g D.
Looney, campaign manager for the In
dependents and one of the county.s
best known citizens.
Mr.. Enloe is an orator fgreat rep
utation. During the present campaign
his speeches have been considered
about the best that have been made
for the Independent ticket, and his
merciless flagellation of Governor
Patterson has been largely comment
ed on not only in Tennessee but
throughout the Suth. It was the
matchless Enloe who dared Patterson
to meet him in joint debate, and who
has scared the game cock out of the
arena. Had Patterson accept
ed the challenge the gubernatorial fur
would have filed the air. !
AS next Monday is the first Monday
in August and the last Monday before
The election. it is safe to say that the
friends of the Independent ticket from
all over the county will be in Column
bia to hear Mr. Enloe. The ladies
are invited, and many of them are ex-
pected to attend.
Brock May Come.
Lee Brock, the eloquent Republican
orator and friend of good government,
nay also speak here before the CAM
,aign closes. An effort is being made
o have Mr.. Brock speak here next
week, but SO far he has been unable i
o say whether or not he can come. j

COUNTY is HARD HIT

ALSO CAN CHANGE HIGHWAY
After Several Months Litigation the
Famous Road Case ls DeeIded-May
Cause Commission to 90 slow In
Opening Roads.

An important decision. involving
the construction of the Maury county
road law, was rendered Wednesday
by Judge Holding in the case of the
Maury county Road Commission VI.
e. Jones, T. Sparkman and George
Scott.
The court allowed to Jones and
Scott damages of $500 and to Jones In
dividualy 1856. The Scott case al
lowing damages In the sum of $40
was affirmed.
In constituting the law Judge Holding
held that the court had the right to
change the location of q public high
way and also to allow incidental dam
ages, two points that had not before
been passed on.
IN tic present suit the court went.
behind tho road commissioners in des-
ignating the location of the road and
made number Of material changes.
Incidental damages in addition to the
actual damages we're also allowed, and
It was held that the county must hear
the expense OF fencing and building
stock gaps. So that in effect the de-
cision holds that the opening Of this
particular road will cost the county
between $1,000 and $1,000, dependent
upon the cost of the fences and gaps.
The decision strikes a blow at road
building in this county, and will prob
ably cause the commission to go slow
In opening highways where the right
of way Is not donated, as the cost will
sbe much heavier than was originally |
anticipated.
History Of the Suit.
The suit was filed last September
by Salmon & Turner, representing |
Improperly owners and has been in
both the chancery and Circuit Courts. !
The constitutionality of the act was
first attacked, but both Judge Holding
and Chancellor Bearden held that the
law was valid On June 81 the case
came up for trial on its merits and
about twenty-five witnesses we're ex-
amined The suit lasted for three
days. At which time, Judge Holding
being dissatisfied with the conflicting
OF witnesses appointed a
special commission to examine the

OF CADETS
 AGAINST CAPTAIN LONGAN
 DETAILED IN A LETTER

Baltimore, September 29.-The exact statement of the cadets side of the existing trouble at West Point Mil- itary acadaeny as consequence of which thme entire corps is under re- strictions. was given in confidential letter from one of the cadets to a friend in this city, who said tonight:
 The cadets allege that. Captain Lon gan started out at West Point by say I'll make 'em buck up.'"
 The trouble was cumulative. First on the target range, though 1t is by order that the cadets as a protection from the concussion of the guns, put cotton in their ears, Captain Longan accused them of stuffing their ears with cotton so that they would not hear his commands. The young men were sur prised, but said nothing.
 Second, the cadets say that he 'cussed out one of the finest men in the first class.
 Third, when Cadet Burt. first class man, returned from his brothers fu- neral, he himself having appendicitis at the time, he went twice to Captain Longan's office to report Each time Captain Longan was aosent at the of ficer's club. Accordingly Cadet Captain Bradley of the corps, officer of the day and next in command, inspected Burt's baggage, took his money and contra band and sent him to the hosiptal. Next day Burt was okeraetd upon and was also reported three times by Lon- gan. Bradley told Captain Longan the
 
 not believe him and started In on ti- rade atsainst Burt.

HASKELL CASE IS
 QUICKLY DROPPED

McAlester, Okla, September 29.-The trial of Gov. c. N. Haskell Of Oklahoma in the Muskogee town lot cases came to sudden end today when the govern ment announced that under the restric- unable to make out a case against Has kell or any of his oo-defendants.
 Governor Haskell and three other de- fendants were charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury with conspiracy to defraud the government" in the disposal of town lot sites at Mus kogee, Okla. It was charged that by the false registration of the names of per sons scattered over the country they se- cured title to about 600 lots. The dis missal of all of the cases today Is attrib- uted by the government attorneys to their inability to confine their proof to the period of limitation as fixed by Fed eral Judge John A Marshall. Judge Marshall ruled that under recent cir cult court of appeals decision rendered in the Lonabaugh case, the prosecution would have to prove conscious participa- tion by Haskell with the other defend- ants during the three years prior to the return of the indictment, which was in May, 1909.
 tuners DeSldeS 5oVernor hdsheil Wnose cases were dismissed were w. T. Hutch4 ings, an attorney; Clarence w. Turner and Walter R. Eaton, all of Muskogeel
 The cases against W. E. English and A. G. Sewers were nolle pressed several days ago. Attorney Rush said:
 "The government by no means admit ted that the defendants were not guilty. When the trial was postponed last May we were not limited as we are now. sThe decision in the Lonabaugh case came in June, and it was because of the restricted views taken in this decision that we felt we would be unable to sus- tain a case The suits already have had good results, for Sewers and English have since restored to the government more than 100 lots and S4.0o0 in cash" Governor Haskell in an Interview said he was confident that he would be elimi- mated from the case.

I don't believe what you say in your explanation. You've got to prove your statements One inviolable rule of West Point is that when a cadet gives his word of honor 1t is always taken without ques- ton. No greater affront can be put upon cadet than to question his veracity.
 The final grievance was when Cap tain Longan made area birds walk in the rain. Under this form of punishment cadets have to walk with their guns two hours on Wednesday afternoon and four hours on Saturday afternoon. It is the immemorial custom that they can walk on the stoop of the barracks when it rains. But Captain Longan lined them out in the downpour. he staying under cover, dry and smoking pipe. He said You men have got to walk in the rain, for I'll show you who is boss around here Moreover he refused to let the men oil their guns and made the cor porals take the rags out of the bores, so that the cadets had to clean off rust for days afterward.
 "1he first silence was spontaneous and fairly without the element of pre- meditated conspiracy. The men simply refused to eat or to speak a word while Longan was in the room. It was wrong, insubordination, but human. It was a tacit rebellion against what the cadets felt to be tyrannical methods. The men do not regret their action. Their atti- tude Is that their code has been broken and their word questioned.
 "If every cadet is called before the court oflinquiry and asked if the above statements are true, he will answer af- firmatively, though not man of them has yet consented to say more to the court thanf'We have formed a dislike for this offlcer.'
 ''The men resent Captain Longan's ex- planation that he was a new man and that the cadets wanted to break him in. and they feel that he has not made cor rect statement. but they have great con fidence in the justice and common sense of General Barry, the superintendent. who, they believe, will put a different light upon the situation within another week.
