SUIT STARTED
AGAINST CURRAN
The CONTRACTOR
ALLEGED BREACH CONTRACT
With City in BUILDING Sewer
System Here

The city council of Americas has
instituted suit against P. ]. Curran AMI
the Maryland Casualty Co., of Balti-
more, surety on bond, for a very con-
siderable amount, alleging failure OF
Curran to carry out and complete a
contract entered into with the city OF
Americas for building and extension
of the sanitary sewerage system here,
within the past two years.
The work was entered upon by Con-
tractor Curran who, according to al
legations filed by city council, left the
work unfinished, the city having to
take up and complete the work thus
abandoned.
Contractor Curran, it appears in the
suit filed, received from the city pay
ments to the amount of $29,46O.75
upon units of the work completed by
him. An itemized statement of ex"
penditures incurred by the city in COM
pleting the work of installing the
sewer system is attached to the suit
filed against Curran and the bond com
pany.
The city will also ask to be REIN
bursed for claims made against it il
certain damage suits resulting from
alleged negligence upon the part Of
the contractors forces in doing tbs
work, particularly that of L. o. Gam
mage, who fell into an open ditcr
left in the street by the laborers and
sustaining personal injuries to the ex.
tent of $500.
This is probably the most important
civil suit filed for the forthcoming ses
sion of Sumter superior court, tbs
docket as just made up being a very
light one.

to Float Bonds For Roads to Connect

There was a large attendance OF
members at the regular meeting Of
the Commercial club Tuesday night,
which was presided over by Vice Pres
ident H. A. Camp.
It was reported that W. G. Seaver
had withdrawn his proposition made
to Hattiesburg, whereby for $4,000
cash he would run the projected Mis-
sissippi Northwestern railroad through
Forrest county and Hattiesburg, and
issue to the city $4,000 of preferred
stock in the road to be taken up with
an equal amount of five-year per cent
gold bonds after the road is in opera
ton, since the delay in accepting the
offer indicated lack of interest in the

ISOLATION reported orders for this item

There is a good demand for ceiling,

ing mill stock. =
The demand for sawn timber has
disappeared altogether, but the call
for prime, deals and strips keep up a
good volume of export trade. Prime,
owing to it's constant decrease in pro

prohibitive of use, when the demand

FRANKS LAWYERS ARE
ATTACKING JUDGE Roam
Claim He Sbirked HiSDutyin
Not Granting New Trial

Atlanta, Dec. 12.-1'hat Judge L. s.
Roam shirked his plain duty in not
granting a new trial, on the grounds
of his own doubt, in the Leo M. Frank
case, ic charged substantially In the
argument prepared by Franks law
ers, to be submitted to the supreme
court next Monday.
The brief Is a plain and straight
forward attack upon the trial judge In
the case, alleging that Judge Roam
was "vacillating" in his conduct Of
the trial at many times, and aprtic-
ularly in his action in refusing neu
trial, though he himself had expressed
debut as to Fran ks guilt.
The argument concludes with NUM-
erous citations from the law-books,
designed to show that Judge Roam
shirked his duty; several of the cita-
tons quote the supreme court as say
ing that when the trial judge is assail-
ed with doubts as to the justice of the
verdict he has no alternative but to
grant a new trial.

that this meant 1854 kisses, the idea
was abandoned.
Mrs. Kosokoff said when she was a
little girl she had shaken the hand of

invaded her country. She recalled the

grandchildren and their descendants
