MILL MAY RESUME
WORK THIS WEEK
People Divided Between Mill
and Water People in
Sympathies

Admission. November 22.-(Special)
While the Profile Cotton mills at Jackson
vile have proceeded to take advantage
OF the temporary injunction granted by
Judge Thomas W. Coleman of the city
court Friday against the Calhoun Water
company of this city, which shut off the
water of the mill. necessitating its clos
ing down and depriving 1900 people of
water the attorneys for the water COM
pany have not yet filed their answer to
get the restraining order set aside.
Other than to put their operatives on
notice of the plans to resume operation
next week. the mill people, however, ac-
cording to reports from Jacksonville, have
not taken any direct action under the
power of the injunction. 1t is said that
1t will take about a day to relay the dis
connected pipes. and before this is done
1t is expected that the water company
will have taken steps TO counteract that
procedure.

power and have been collectible. Presi-
dent Davis never ceased to regret that
the government failed to bring him to
trial, that the very questions involved
in this case of the state might have
been settled SO confident was he that
there had been no rebellion" and there
fore no leader of rebellion to bring to
trial. Governor Seay reported that he
had received for the state on this suit
$33, ,119 90 covered into the treasury.
The governor called attention to the
confusion of the courts in the delays in
cident to criminal prosecutions. This re-
suit came from the habit of attorneys in
taking appeals that ARE unworthy or our
civilization" he said. 1t is a disgraceful
doctrine, he continued, that an advocate
can know but the one duty, and that Is
to protect his client without regard to
the torment or destruction he may thus
spread abroad in the land. The code that
requires the court of last resort to search
the record for a reversible error should be
repealed, the governor advised.
