more than s24.0000o0 gold. The loan
was placed a; 80 and a commission of
a least > per cent was paid. leaving
the total amount actually available
not more than SS00O0000 gold. The
s56.000.000 already paid out is ac-

A MAGNIFICENT THREE REEL
SPECIAL FROM THE GERMAN
HERO STORY.

Siegfried is to us what Achilles was
to the Greeks and almost as Aeneas
to the Romans. All that is most glor-
ious in us, except what we have taken
from Christianity, Siegfried is.
Things that our hearts most cherish,
that most quickly excite our imagina-
tion Siegfried stands for. And al
though stories of him are no longer
sung by the firesides as once they
were, nearly everyone knows some
thing about him. Wagner's operas
have been sung to so many, that this
Offering will surely awake anticipation
in a host OF spectators. People will
want to see this story pictured in the
freedom of the open and against such
backgrounds as European camera men
can find. For, like all epics, it's ac-
ton transpired in the open places for
the mos part. The management of
the Lomo announces that this remark

rights does not place an added burden
upon the railroad company from whom
those rights were obtained.
The claim is made that while the
G. & S. l. R. r. company is the COM
plainant in this case, the proceedings
were inspired by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and that back of
that telegraph company is the Cumber-
land Telephone Company. 1t is stat
ed that the w. U. Telegraph Company
has a contract with the G. & S. |. r.
r. Co. granting it the exclusive right
to do a telegraph business over that
company's right of way. The legality
of such a contract is denied in the
cross bill of the Home Telephone Com
pany. 1t is also alleged that the pur-
pose of the injunction proceedings was
to prevent the Postal Telegraph Com
pany from operating its line into Hat
tiesburg, thereby throttling and pre-
venting competition in the telegraph
business. The claim for damages,
both actual and punitive, is based upon
the allegation in both answers that
the G.. & S. l. R. r. through its agents
and officials employed a locomotive
to go over its route between Hatties-
burg and Jackson, and with the assist
ance of a w. U. Telegraph linesman,
cut its newly-constructed wire in over
200 places, thereby destroying and
making worthless, something like fif-
teen tons of wire, which had been
shipped over the line of the said rail
road and distributed at the various sta
tions along that line, from Jackson tc
Hattiesburg
The proceedings in this case are tc
Ee heard by Judge ]. Morgan Stevens

turnable at February rules, to which

granted by Judge Barrett.

were certified as having been elected !
mayor and aldermen of the town.
On the first Monday in January
those claiming election appeared at
the town hall and asked the mayor,
whose term was just closing, to ad-
minister to them the oath of office.
That officer demanded that they first
exhibit their commissions, and when
they failed to do this he declined to
swear them in.
After being denied recognition by
the retiring mayor, the new board got
magistrate to administer the oath OF
office. Following this proceeding,
there were set up two rival camps,
both claiming the right to administer
the affairs of the city, each mayor hav-
ing two aldermen and neither side
with legal quorum for the transaction
of business.
In this unsettled condition, ]. r.
Tally was called in to settled the legal
tangle. Upon his suggestion, the at
toTney general authorized in his name
the taking of quo warranto proceed
ings against w. d. Ratliff, who claims
the office of mayor; J. S. Cotton, w. w.
Eley, E. w. Tanner, N. G. Freeland
and p. p. Bailey, each claiming the Of
flee of alderman; ]. F. Harrison, that
Of marshal and Simon London, that
of clerk.
in the declaration filed, it is charged
that Mayor Ratliff and Alderman Cot
ton are neither eligible to office be-
cause of the alleged fact that during
their term as members of the board
of mayor and aldermen of Lucedale,
they voted to raise and did raise the
tax levy from II to IS mills, without
authority of the taxpayers authorizing
such increase.
The declaration against the others
named is that they are holding or at
tempting to hold office without author
| ity of law.
Should these parties be removed
from office under the proceedings in
stituted a new election will be neces-
sary.
