a state and not Jackson fair, and that
is what Jackson has insisted on all

Meridian. November 5.-(Special.) )-Since
the destruction by fire Sunday morning
of the Central Methodist church building,
the Oldest building of the kind in the
city, and in which one of the largest
and wealthiest congregations of the city
have been worshiping for years, the
board of stewards has been making ar
rangements for temporary quarters, and
it is understood will occupy the city hall
until they can build. Even before the
fire a building committee was at work
to secure a larger site than the one oc-
cupied. which was downtown surrounded
by business houses This lot will be
sold and a larger one will be secured, and
the congregation will proceed to build a
$4,000 house of worship. The insurance
on the building was only $4,000, but the
congregation is financially able to put up
a fine building.

THROW OUT CASES
AGAINST OFFICIALS.
No Law to Support Charges
at Observation-Disclosures
Sustains Demurrer

Huntsville. November ESPECIALLY
The cases of Mayor r. L. O'Neal City
commissioner J. D. Murphy and ex-
Mayor r. e. Smith, who were indict-
ed by the last grand jury on charges
of failing to preserve the ballot boxes
used in the last city election, were
thrown out of the law and equity
court this morning. David A. Gray
son, attorney for the commissioners
demurred to the indictments on the
ground that there is no law to sup
port the charges. Solicitor Drake
agreed with him and stated that he
mad so advised the grand jury but
that body had returned the indict-
ments in spite of his advice. He asked
that the indictments be quashed, but
the defendants insisted that the court
rule on the demurrer. Judge Ballen-
tine sustained the demurrer and the
cases went off the docket.
Ex-Mayor Smith, who appeared for
himself. requested Judge Ballentine to
have the grand jury up for contempt
OF court for returning true bills
against the advice of the solicitor but
Judge Ballentine ruled against this mo-
tion.
The fact that several members of the
last grand jury were excused during
the sitting of that body and that other
men were put on in their places has
brought into question the validity OF
the true bills returned by the grand
jury which made very sensational
report last Thursday, recommending the
impeachment of eight county officials.
Leading attorneys of this city claim
that the true bills are invalid because
during the term of the grand jury
five of the original eighteen men were
excused. Their Interpretation of the law
is to the effect that the original IS
grand jurors must not be allowed to
tall below 15 in number. The question
viii be brought up in the form of a
demurrer when the first case growing
out of the action of the grand jury is
brought up on the docket of the law
and equity court. On the other hand,
several lawyers here claim that the
grand jury, although not competent to
return true BILL was competent to
recommend impeachment proceedings.
Court officials are "up in the air. ap-
parently. Ninety-eight true bills were
returned by the last grand jury.
