common servant, and help to make
the movement to raise the necessary
funds an assured one Americus is

Greatly encouraged by the sue
cess which greeted them yesterday on
the first day of the work of canvass
ing that is being done in behalf of the
local Board of Trade the members
of the board of directors will meet
again this morning at 8 o'clock at
the Planters bank building to take up
the work of raising the remaining
amount needed for the work.
President Ellis of the Board Of
Trade feels greatly encouraged at the
success with which the work met yes
terday so soon after it's recent be-
ginning. Only small number of the
business men of the city were visited
yesterday by the members of the
hoard of directors, but these few
pledged more than $500 to the cause
of the retaining of a permanent and
expert secretary for the board and
the placing of the organization on a
basis that will mean much for the
future growth and expansion of the
city.
The work will, therefore, be taken
up with renewed energy this morning
when the members of the board OF
directors meet again at the Planters
bank building to re-commence the
work of soliciting funds for the needs
of the board. There are still many
business men to be called upon, in
fact, the larger part of the business
men of the city have not yet been
visited and asked to contribute to the
fund that is being raised Every pos
sible contributor will be seen as sool
as the members of the board of direc-
tors can call upon him.
The work has been taken up thor
oughly and Systematically so far and
it will be continued in this manner
until it shall have been carried to
successful completion. The members
Of the board of directors feel thar
there is nothing but success awaiting
them, and it is with this stimulus that
they have gone about their work to
do it in the most thorough manner
possible
1t was President Ellis opinion yes
terday that enough to make out ST.
600 could easily have been raised
yesterday, had it not been for the
fact that the members of the board of
directors had business that called
them away from the work of canvass
ing in the afternoon, so that they real
ly worked only half day at the task
of canvassing the city

WORK PROGRESSES ON
WINDSOR'S new WELL

Working at depth of about 251
feet. Contractor James, who is boring
the artesian well for the Windsor ho-
tel is making very good progress in
the downward course. The drill has
recently penetrated another ledge of
rock, and more rapid work will now
be done, unless another obstacle is
encountered
1t is expected that water will ba
struck within the next one hundred
feet, probably at a depth of 300 feet.
in which event the Windsor hotel will
own its own source of water supply
along with other utilities.

TACTICS HAVE KILLED HIM
New York Herald Sums Up
the Situation

New York, April 30.-The New York
Herald which is independent and re-
liable, and which is keeping an i'm
partial record of all delegates to the
nationa democratic convention as they
are elected by the different states gave
the situation at the beginning of the
week as follows:
CLARK 14O.
WILSON 11S.
UNDERWOOD 101.
MARSHALL 80.
HARMON A.
The Herald counts the New York
delegates and those of Alabama for
Underwood. These figures do not pre-
sent the claims of the candidates and
their managers, for Clark claims 1870
and Wilson claims quite a number
more than l18, bu THE Herald's fig
ures are gathered independently and
given as the real, non-partisaq .situa-
ton.
The situation points strongly to-
ward Underwood as the nominee OF
the Baltimore convention. There will
be 1904 delegates i'll the convention,
The two-thirds rule will make it nee
essary for the nominee to receive 729,
With the unwise fight which Wilson or
his managers have made on the other
candidates, it is highly improbable
that any of this strength will ever go
to HMM fact, it is practically i'm
possible for such a thing to happea.
Therefore there are already 275 votes
against Wilson. If Clark. Underwood
and Harmon combined get only 1870 del
egates out of the 701 yet to be elect
ed Wilson is out of it for good. 1t is
doubtful if man can be found who
would be so reckless as to assert that
Clark, Underwood and Harmon would
not get that many, and scores more,
judging by the states which have thus
far acted. 1t may be taken for grant
ed, with these facts confronting US,
that Wilson cannot be nominated, i
the ordinary results follow the condi-
tions which now exist

MAGISTRATES
HAVE NO RIGHT
To Supervise County Roads, Says
Judge VIM Of Appellate
Court.

Frankfort. Ky. NOV. 2.AJudge II. r.
Winn of the Count of Appeals delivered
an opinion this afternoon. after hear-
ing arguments in chambers. in an i'm
portant road case from Anderson county
County Judge Booth had appointed a
nond supervisor but the records Of TN
Fiscal Court of Anderson do NOT show
that the appointment was cpnf,msd.
but on the contrary the magistrates
proceeded themselves to supervise the
road work. The road sunenlvispr filed
an injunction suit to Rrevent the mag
istrates from interfering with his work.
The lower court granted THE injunc-
ton but the Court hene dissolved the
Injunction ON the ground tkpt the ap-
pointment of Champion as apad super
visor WAS newer confirmed by the mag
istrates. The court says. however, that
the magistrates have no right to su-
pervise the roads and that the law pro-
viding for the appointment OF road
supervisor must he compiled with.
The decision is regarded as an In
pnr-tant one, as In number OF other
counties the fiscal courts have declined
TO select a road supervisor and this de-
cision means that magistrates cannot
serve as aoad supervisors. as they did
under. the old law.
