From every stranger who enters

hills between the residence of Volney

ton Skinner hill are not only dis
graceful but dangerous. The super
visors have been repeatedly appealed
to but of no avail They do abso-
lutely nothing; so henceforth, kind
friend and stranger, if instead of
simply grumbling about the rocks,
you will make a complaint to the
men who are elected to office to at
tend to the roads, you will be doing
the people of Milanville and vicinity
favor.

PREDICTS DATE OF HIS DEATH.
Tennessee Man Says He Will Die Sept.
8 and Has Grave Dug.


8 and Has Grave Dug.
Bristol, Tenn, Aug. 10.-"I will die
in twenty-five days." is the startling
declaration made by John Vesti, Con
federate veteran, residing at Meadow
View, in Washington county, Va.
This declaration was made following
the digging of his grave several days
ago. He has had the opening lined
with cement, and his request is that
he be buried without a coffin. The
grave was made beside that of Vesti's
first wife.
Vesti takes the view that fate has
decreed his death, and according to
his premonition he is to die Sept 8,
although he is apparently in usual
health. He is sixty-eight years old.

Near His Home.

surrounds the death of James Garri-
son, sixty years old, a real estate
agent of North Belle Vernon, whose
body was found in a field near his
home. Wounds on his head and face
and the fact that his pocketbook is
missing indicate a murder.
A postmortem examination of the
body will be held to determine the
cause of death.
Garrison left his home on State
street to show property adjoining the
town to a woman with whom he had
been negotiating for a sale. He was
not seen alive again.

was no law empowering him to refuse
the payment of money voted by the |
legislature except in a clear case of
of public funds. !
There was nothing in the Organic
Act giving the auditor power to de-
eide that an act of the legislature was
unconstitutional. 1t was not deemed
necessary by him to go into the his
tory Of the right and wrong of the
military courts action in filming Cum
Minis. Presumably the legislature be-
lieved there was a moral right for
refunding the fine. 1t was in the same
line as the voting of public money to
the former queen.
Questions BY Court.
In answer to Justice Perry, coun.
sci did not think the act was a usurpa-
ton of the pardoning power That
point was not raised in the governors
veto. Neither did he regard it, an
swering a further question. as the re-
versal of the judgment of a tribunal
Chief Justice Robertson asked if,
as a matter of fact, pardon had not
been extended to all that were SEN
fenced by the military commission.
This question occasioned a general
conversation between the Chief JUS
tice and counsel, which did not appear
to bring out any clear history of the
matter.
Where do you find the moral
right?" was another query by the
Chief Justice, which led Mr.. Andrews
outside of the record to relate state
ments made by. Senator Cecil Brown,
who represented Cummins at the mill
tary commission, and by W. o. Smith,
who was Attorney General at the
time, before the Senate committee in
considering the bill, which went to
show that Cummins was Disseminated
against and that the exaction of his

should not interfere to nullify an act
of the legislature, representing the
people, which was meant, as stated in
the preamble, to remove an injustice
Attorney General Lindsay quoted a
Nevada decision to show the audi
tors liability for making unlawful
payments. Leaving that matter to sub
mission in the brief he had filed, he
went on to argue that the auditor
was the watchdog of the treasury ant

payment of unlawful appropriations.
This did not imply that the auditor
had the right to question the legality
of all sorts of legislative votes Of
money. His functions were not to be
frivolously exercised. He replied to a
question by the Chief Justice regard
ing the ministerial nature of the au-
ditors duties, and proceeded to give
instances of where the auditor should
refuse to pay money. One was where
the legislature might vote money for
the support of sectarian institutions.
With further references to points in
his brief, he said he had found no
case where the voting of mere gift
was countenanced AS to the former
queens case, the granting of a pen
sion to her was in agreement with
the customs of civilized nations. AS
heir apparent for many years and as
sovereign she had been an exalted
parsonage, and the recognition of her
former rank and services by means
OF a pension was a matter of public
policy.
Mr.. Lindsay after closing was asked
question by Justice Perry regard
ing the extent to which the court
should go in considering the reasons
for the legislative action, which was
answered by the citation Of a case
where it was held that the reasons
should be clearly stated.
Mr.. Andrews briefly recapitulated
his points, after which the court took
the case under advisement.

ANTON GARCIA.-We look for a
big time on the Fourth of July at Wal
luku. 1t is probable that if the bar of
the Maui Hotel be closed by order on
that day, as was the case last year,
Manager Field will close the entire
hotel. The result of such action last
year was that the Honolulu people
brought their booze with them and
that every bedroom in the hotel was
practically a bar-room, causing disor-
der which Mr.. Field was powerless to
stop.
E. A. MOTT-SMITH-The way to
get the big ulua in the channels off
Oahu is to use live ava for bait. You
place a small suspensoFy hook under
the dorsal fin of the bait and stick a
triangular hook in near the gills.
Then let the fish go seward with the
current. If there are any ulua about
the chances are that the ava will be
nabbed Immediately. l have struck
four big fish in this way but have
never yet succeeded in landing one,
so stoutly did they fight for freedom.
