DID NOT SUE
TIE RIGHT PARTY
Russell Damage Case Will
Have to be Brought Again
For Error Committed.

The suit of the Luck Construction
Company against the Board of Super
visors of Russell County, was called
in The Circuit Court here on Tuesday.
upon Il change of venue granted by
the Circuit Court of Rusesll county.
The case was declared n non-suit,
and sent back to the county from
whence it came.
The suit grew out of contract for
building roads which the Luck Con-
struction Company had with the
Board of Supervisors of Russell coun-
ty. The amount involved is $40, 900,
which the Board of Supervisors re-
fused to pay, upon the grounds that
the construction company did not en-
ploy with the contract. in that the
stone were not placed rs they should
have been, and which necessitated
the county going TO the expense of
complying with the letter of the spec
iiications.
There was no evidence that the ac-
count had ever been presented to the
county for payment, and before n
county can bo sued there nuts be ev-
idcnce that n county has refused to
pay.
Seven miles of road is embraced in
the suit. The case will be taken back
to Russell county and new suit in
stituted against the county instead of
against the supervisors of the county.

Against Popular Elections.

The United States Senate Tuesday
defeated the resolution providing
for an amendment to the constitution
so as to provide that senators be
elected by direct vote of the people.
A brave fight had been made by the
supporters Of the measure, as was
indicated by the vote. Fifty-four
senator's stood for the resolution and
thrty-three against it. Though this
division showed so large majority
of the senate to favor popular cleo
tions the number was not sufficient
to carry the measure, which required
a two thirds vote for it's success.

Burned to Death

"Aunt" Mary Hicks, an aged coll
ored woman, was burned to death in
her house on II. c. Stuart's Clifton
farm, in the east end of Russell,
last Saturday night. From report, it
appears that she was living with q
blind son and small boy, and about
dark sent the boy to neighbors on
an errand. When the house caught
fire she went out, taking her blind
son, and returned to get small sum
of money she had in the house, and
was unable to get out. Her charred
remains were found in the ruins of
the burned house.
The above information was given
this office by Mr.. b. j. Lockhart,
Richlands, who was here on Tuesday.

Who Got The Book?

Sometime ago the editor loaned
someone his copy of the little book
"The Captives of Abbs Valley"
Who ever got it is certainly taking
a long time to read it. He must
have number of friends and rela-
tives who are reading it. One hour
and half is about as much time as
any man need to read the little book
unless he has to stop to spell out the
words, and we suppose said friends
has been able to spell it all out by
this time. If these lines fall under
his eye we hope he will return the
book at once, and not be foolin'
about it.

An Old Chestnut But Applicable
Communicated.

Last week two of our enterprising
farmers in the Maiden Spring District
were riding over the bad roads in
their neigbhorhood in search of free
holders to sign the application to
court for an electinon, when suddenly
they came upon mans hat lying in
a mud hole in front Of them. One
of them ventured in on some fence
rails and on picking up the hat, they
were astonished to find mans head
under it. They exclaimed, what in
the world are you doing here and
why don't you holler for help?
The old farmer stated that there
was no use of being so excited that
their was no danger of him going any
deeper as he was standing on wag-
on load of hay. After helping the old
gentleman out, they explained the
bond issue and the petition to him,
and asked him to sign same. He
agreed that it would be good thing
for the country, but stated he was
at the Courthouse few days ago
and MIR ---- told him not to vote.
for the bond issue as it would make
the poor man pay as much tax as the
rich man and that it might put a
debt on his children.
FOR BONDS, OF Course.

A Bucking Bronco

Arthur Lewis had taste of the
"wild and woody vest on last Mon
day, occasioned by the running away
of his speckled bronco. The horse
was hitched to breaking cart, and
became scared at something, and ran
for mile or more before he became
exhausted. The horse became tangled
in the harness near the Hopkins
store, on the avenue, and fell, being
unable to rise, unless helped to his
feet. He took fresh start from this
and also took charge of the street on
the avenue for the time being.
Neither Mr.. Lewis or the horse were
much the worse for the experience.
