REFUSES
TO PROSECUTE
SUPERVISORS
Case Against S. R. Wright Dis
missed This Morning in P. H.
Wells Justice Court.

The charge of bribery preferred
against Supervisor S. R. Wright by
Police Magistrate c.. J. Smith was dis
missed this morning in the court of
Justice P. H Wells, before whom the
case was taken on a change of venue
from the court of Justice W. F. Schroe-
der, who issued the warrant. Mr..
Wright was represented by Attorney
W. c. Allen. The state was not repre-
scented. and when the justice called Mr..
Thompson on the telephone TO find
what was his pleasure in the matter,
Mr.. Thompsons refusal TO prosecute
led TO the dismissal.
Regarding the matter, States Attor-
ney Thompson made the following
statement to a representative of The
Argus: Il was not consulted in
regard to the swearing out of
this warrant for Wright and no
evidence sufficient to secure q con-
viction has been placed in my hands.
Mr.. Wright is a reputable citizen of
this county, and in my opinion the
proper place TO file a charge against
him is with the grand jury Being
very busy myself with the grand jury
just now and not having been allowed
an assistant. I could do nothing other
than refuse to prosecute when l was
asked TO do so this morning
1T seems proper at this time that l
make known what will be the practice
of this Office regarding prosecution of
suits instituted in the justice courts. l
shall advise the justices throughout
the county not to issue warrants
against well known and reputable res
idents of the county without first con-
sulting my office. The responsibility
for prosecution will rest on me, and |
want to know whether or not there is
a real case before a reputable citizen
is Inundated by arrest"
The charge preferred against Mr..
Wright was that he sold shoes TO the
county in violation of the state laws,
of which he claims to have been ignor.
ant. 1t develops, however, that he has
presented no bill for the same, and
until he does so, no crime could be fas.
tened on him, in the opinion of prom.
inent attorney
Supervisor Sleight, who is also under
arrest on a warrant charging bribery
and sworn to by c. J. Smith is to
have his trial tomorrow morning. II
is presumed that the states attorney
will again refuse to prosecute.

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
Matters-Annual and Perennia!

Ing cueumbers.
By PROF. JOHN WILLARD RoLTE.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.
Annual flowers. that is, flowers
which are grown from seed and live
only one season. are very useful for
decorating the home grounds, filling
window boxes, etc. They are no less
hardy than perennials and they are
cheaper to plant and fully as satisfac-
tory In most ways.
A moderate use Of perennials serves
as fine foundation for a flower gar
den, and by using annua1s for the bal
ance, we can have an unbroken series
of blossoms throughout the season,
and can also vary the arrangement
from year to year.
Choose your color combinations
with care SO as to avoid having inhar-
monious colors blooming at the same
time. Do not use mixed seeds unless
you know what the colors are. Select
and plant beds or borders of the same
variety and color for best effect, con-
trasting them with other solid masses
rather than mixtures.
Exceedingly charming effects can be
secured by mass paintings OF coreop-
sis, poppies and many others Of the
simpler annual blossoms Flowers
which bear large clusters or sprays OF
bloom are effective in shady places
and against wallis
The lower growing varieties can be
used for bordering beds Of perennials,
outlining vegetable gardens, walks.
drives, etc. Wild flowers should be
planted in irregular groups In loca-
tions as nearly like their natural ones
as possible. Do not attempt to plant
them in regular beds and geometrical
forms II you would secure best results.
Annuals may be planted as soon as
the ground Is ready, and many varie-
ties may go in successfully quite late
In the spring.
For mass planting, the following are
recommended: Scabiosa, Balsam, Cal
1iposis, Coreopsis, Globe Amaranth,
Poppies, Zinnias, Marigold, snapdrag-
on, Amaranthus.
Border Plants - Sweet Alyssum,
Mignonette, Pansies, Candytuft, Dwarf
