 bers Get in Work-Bridge
 Club Entertained

Decatur october 4.-(Special )-Judge Thomas W. Vert of the law and equity court has held that the error in the min utes of his court concerning the work of the recent grand Jury will not invalidate the indictments found by the grand jury. However, the matter may be taken to the supreme court, as some of the members of the local bar differ with the judge. A number of parties have been tried and others are being tried on these indict- ments. Every time a case Is called for trial the lawyer representing the defend- ant raises the objection of the validity of the writs.
 George D. Williamson, business man of Decatur, was the foreman of the grand jury. On September Judge Vert sum moned another man to take MT. William- sons place. The court minutes show that Mir. Williamson was excused by the court on September 3, while as a matter of fact he was not excused until Sep tember 5.

The sena- tor had no doubt that "an intelligent and virtuous supreme court woudl set aside the fifteenth article
 The state of New York had two leg islatures in the same year. 1869, the first in order was republican in politics. By this body the fifteenth article of amend ment was ratified. The second In order was democratic in party politics and the democrats repeated the action of ratifi- cation.
 The Fortieth Congress expired few days after the article was finally passed. not without knowledge that the Forty first waited on it's heels, and which would not have passed the article.
 On March 30, 1870. one year after the passage of the article, Secretary of State Hamilton Fish reported to Congress the necessary ratification by three-fourths of the states.
 On the same day President Grant sent a special message to Congress Of con- RrdtuldtlOHS, stNliiss n ihNh7H'p "''~i' makes at once 100000 of people voters. who were heretofore declared by the highest tribunal of the land not citizens of the United States, not eligible to be- come so with the assertion that. at the time of the Declaration of Independence the opinion was fixed and universal in the civilized portion of the white race. regarded as an axiom in morals as well as in politics. that black men had no rights which white men were bound to respec) is indeed measure of grander importance than any other one act of the kind from the foundation of free gov ernment to the present day.
 Secretary Fish enumerated in the 29 ratifying states Alabama.
 The white masses of Alabama invited the world to witness that no controversy had originated in this state between the two co-oecupant races for political su- premacy; and that all effort to induce the negroes to contend with the whites for political supremacy. by other infiu- ences. had ignobly failed.

Basket BAN Enjoyed by All.

Last Saturday afternoon a game of
basket ball was played on the grounds
of the Colfax high school between the
verda and Pollock male teams, result
ing in favor of Verda. The team work
of the Verda boys is fine, as they have
had splendid training for three years,
but the Pollock team is good one, not
withstanding having been organized
but short time, and with little more
practice will be hard to beat. The
Colfax boys played against a mixed
team of verda and Hargis boys. The
mixed team had the local team out
classed and got away with the score
easily. A large crowd attended the
games and enjoyed them very much.
