Lee began talking and in a few minutes the Judge pull ed his watch, Lawyer Lee was informed by the Judge that the 15 minutes wal going by and gave him to understand in no uncertain way that there wasn't going to he any extension of time. That the record must be produced WITHIN THAT time.
 Just about this time Clerk Engle and Lawyer Lee retired for conference. The Judge held his watch in his hand just as if he was timing that elegant new water greyhound gasoline launch of his. Just as the hands reach ed 13H minute mark Clerk Engle came into the room and laid the sought for record before the Judge, thus having a minute and a half of the time to his credit and saving Judge Tricc from showing just what he proposed
 = to do if he didn't get the coveted scrip record within the short time limit he had placed.
 Thus it was plainly evident that this round of the county family tilt belonged to Judge Trice, as the first round was to Clerk Engle.
 Where the fun will start again and what the contents of the book will reveal remains yet to be seen. In the mean time watch the ARGUS.

A few weeks ago the ARGUS told of the strange conditions and friction existing between two branches of the county government, namely County Judge T. G. Trice and Clerk Jas. Engle.
 In the first round" of the skirmish Clerk James Engle absolutely refused to allow Judge Trice to examine the County scrip registration record, and thus it was that Judge Trice proceeded to appeal to the legal advisers of the court for the assistance necessary to examine bis own records.
 Things rocked along for several weeks and in the mean time, Judge Trice contented himself by waiting just waiting.
 On Monday when court opened Judge Trice asked for the regis tration record and when Clerk Jas. Engle remonstrated and baked at producing the record, the old Judge went down in his vest pocket pulled ont his time piece and said II want that record and I'll give you just 15 minutes to get it. :"
 To this Clerk Engle replied well you'll give me time to see my lawyer won't you?" and the Judge informed him that 15 minutes was all the time he had and if he saw the lawyer he'd have to do it on his own time. Then Clerk Engle took . fast gait and in a few minutes re-

Mir. L. K. Salsburg, of Memphis. being our President, and the largest American stock holder. They operate several branch stores. supplied from the main big store at Scott, they have one oil mill. one compress and about ten gins. The plantation is cut into fourteen divisions. they use PA plantation managers, some of this number being assistant Managers. Mir. Alfred Gurin is our General Manager. and Prof. J. w. Fox, the best agricultirest in the south is our farm director, counselor and adviser and a broad guaged kind hearted gentleman, loved and respected by all Managers.
 Once a month we have Manag- CTS meeting, in these meetings we receive instructive lectures from Prof. Fox.
 The Company came to Scott about three years ago. There was one gin. one farm store and one residence. now they have big brick store 175X225, this is petitioned off into a cash store, ware room for dry goods, ware room for groceries, cotton buyers office, plant supply ware room and the Co.'S store.

 We raise the Trice cotton which is the. ~earlest, fastest fruiting. and most prolific cotton known to Agricultural science, the only cotton to beat the boil weevil with. We raise mostly corn. alfalfa, oats and millilate hay, we raise our own feed. Our tenants and day hands are all in the lot by sun up. eat

Still draw my check regularly with no kicks and some compliments from my bosses. 1 am about out of debt from my politics in Monroe County" Every now and then l think of some one I owe a small amount. Not long since It came to me that owed the old County Judge s. T. Holloway $3.00. l mailed him check for same. this I borrowed from him one day in my last campaign to fill the want and wishes of two Keevilites, namely, Dallas King and Tom Dixon. They haven't as good memory as l have, else l am sure they would have paid me long ago, they are both good boys though, but suppose, in hard luck like I was when l lost my votes and nomination for County Clerk, stolen from me in Brink ley four years ago with $500 or 5000 debt behind to pay and family to sustain, but l am glad I can say. tis about all paid and Pm doing as well as those who) robbed mo of my rights.
