CHIEF CARTER
ISL -
Tells Of His Work and Says II You
Can't Boost; Don't Knock.

The I. J. received the following
Communication for publication from
Chief of Police b. ID. Carter, to
which it is glad to give space. He
lsays:
There seems to have been some
misunderstanding in regard to the
| u. S. marshal locating blind tigers
in Stanford. He only examined the
lcity and county court records and
secured the names, that the officers
of the town and county had arrest
ed and coninced, thereby taking out
warrants from which he made his
arrests. No L. S. marshal has ever
located and arrested any blind tig-
err operator since | have been in Of
flee in the past four years in this
town. At the time this U. S. mar
shall made these arrests he took four
out of the county Jail here serving
sentences for the illicit sale Of whis-
Ky.
Now as to the officers of this
county and town doing their duty,
will say frankly that l am in close
touch with the workings of the Of
ficers of both county and town and
do not know of a Single instance In
which a single officer of either the
county or town has failed TO do his
duty. Every case that has come be-
fore Judge Menefee. / or some OF
my deputies have taken the party
and the witnesses by which he has
made his conviction and will say IL
his behalf he has always given then
what was coming to them.
/ will say, too, there is less ILL
tcit selling of whisky in this town
than any other adjoining town of thu
same size. | have heard a grea
deal of talk from some of the people
of this town about what was goin'
ON. think it behooves every good
citizen of the town to help stop this
vice. Any citizen can 60 before thu
police Judge or the county judge an'
take out warrant and | assure yol
lit will be served promptly.
Now, l think it time for the pub
lie to either do their duty or stol
kicking. ! have never sought new
paper notoriety. l have always dom

DECISIONS HANDED DOWN BY
 SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY

Montgomery, December 11-(Special )- If a cobbler makes man a pair of shoes and they do not fit his feet there IS eVl- dence that the shoes are not properly made The same principle applies in the construction of culvert If the culNeft is not sufficiently large to serve the pur- pose for which it was constructed, then 1t, too, was improperly made, no matter how fine the workmanship.
 This principle has been laid down by MT. Associate Justice de Graffenried. in the case of J. H. Watts vs. the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad com pany, appealed from the Clay county court. The decision was put ont by tie supreme court Tuesday.
 The case involves a suit for so00 dam- ages filed by MT. Watts against the rail road company for injury to farm lands from an oVerfiowing cuNert which the eorporation had constructed. The origln- al proceedings were instituted in 1906, but from time to time was postponed. The lower court decided against the plaintiff and the latter appealed to the supreme cdurt
 That tribunal Tuesday reversed the low CT court and sent the case back for a new trial. The opinion was written by Associate Justice de Graffenried, who, after commenting upon the imperfect con dtion in which he found the record, de- clared:

 Witness suggested Mir Eddy prob ably would be willing to appear. to tell how the letters were taken from the Standard oil company files. Senator Pomerene asked about the suggestion that the letters were forgcries.
 T know nothing about that" said MT. Hearst. "The explanation made in response to the forgery charge was that some of the letters published in the magazine had to be produced in typewriting in order to be discernible when printed"
 Another letter dated January 20, 1902, from Archbold to Foraker transferred certificate of deposit for $500 An other letter from Archbold to For aker dated March !, 1900 read:
 "l beg to enclose you herewith let ter from our counsel, MT. Elliott, with copy of another very objectionable bill recently introduced at Columbus, Ohio. There will be undoubtedly uniform sentiment against it in the oil section Hope you can take care of 1t with the others
 A letter from Archbold to J. C. Sib- ley, representative from Pennsylvania, dated February 15, 1901 read: 'I beg to enclose you herewith cer- tifcate of deposit to your favor for $5000. sent you at the request Of MT. Griscom, the purpose of which you no doubt understand with him. Permit me to improve this opportune investment at hand and express my high apprecia- tion of your most courteous and eff cient action in response to our request regarding the consideration of the sub sidiary bill matter with MT. Griscom." |"
 Pressed further to tell about getting the letters, MT. Hearst said that Mir Eddy was in his employ as a maga- zine writer at the time he brought him the letters, but that Eddy had paid nothing to obtain possession of them.
 The letter from Archbold to Mir. For aker about the $5O.OO0 loan was dated January 22, 1902. and read:
 "Referrng to our further talk of to- day over the telephone, We are willing to make the loan 350,000, $25,000 to be returned within one year and the re- maining s25,000 to be paid in five an- nual payments thereafter. All to bear interest at 5 per cent. Trusting you will succeed in consummating the mat ter as you desire, l am very truly yours. JOHN D. ARCHBOLD."
 Witness said he had accepted an ex- planation by Senator Foralxer that he had returned s50,000. MT. Hearst said that he believed he had seen a letter telling about the return of the money. Witness said further he had no knowl- edge of having paid any person for get ting or photographing the letters. A question about campaign contributions brought from MT. Hearst the statement that he had contributed about $l0000 or s12.000 in the year 1908 to the 1nde- pendence league committee for the na- tional campaign
