We are making an earnest effort
to stop the buying and selling of
votes in all elections. This prac-
tice is productive of much that is
evil, and Of nothing that is good,
and all good citizens are called up
on to do their utmost to put a stop
to such infamous work.
All candidates are called upon to
sign the pledge sent to them. Will
you not join together in requesting
the candidates to sign this? Will
you not withhold your support
from all candidates who decline to
sign said pledge, even should you
be forced not to vote at all for
some officersY
This is a day of moral reform;
other counties are leading in this
much needed work, and we cannot
afford to lag behind. The writer
takes up this work not because he
fp more interested in it, or desir-
Nus to see it accomplished, but be-
cause no one else is doing so.
All good citizens are asked, if
the pledge is signed or not, to be
watchful, and see that any one
buying or attempting to buy votes
are prosecuted to the fullest extent
for such criminal acts. The good
citizens of the county can stop
these things if they will.
1t is time that they should be
stopped. and you are called upon
to see that they are stopped.
Be strong, and quit yourselves
like men.
Sincerely yours,
B. G. Horror.

LODEN INDICTMENT
is QUAsHED.
No Evidence Against Local AttorSey
Indicted for Buying Land in COntrO-
versy.

This week the county court heard a
motion to quash an indictment against
II. H. Loden, local attorney, which
indictment charged that Loden bought
land the title to which was in contro-
versy, was returned by the June Grand
Jury. In the defendants petition to
quash the indictment it was alleged
that there was no evidence before the
Grand Jury which warranted the re-
turning Of the indictment, and several
witnesses examined by the jury as
we'll as members Of the jury them
selves we're examined.
The motion of the defendant to
quash the indictment was granted be-
cause same was not controverted, and
further, because the evidence on which
the grand Jury returned said indict-
ment was secondary and not the best
which was susceptible to said grand
j0ry.

that the girl has made a sworn state

A case was filed this week in Dis
trict Court wherein Emma Gilbreath
asks damages from the M. X. & T.
Ry Co. in the sum of $4,000 on ac-
count OF the death of her husband on
August Is, 1918.
b. G. Gilbreath was section hand
on the Katy at Calera and on the day
OF his death was at work some 500
yards below the station. 1t is alleged
that he was STOPPING over to remove
an obstruction from the track to clear
1t for a freight which was running
north, and in so doing did not observe
fast passenger train coming south
on the other track, and was killed. The
petition recites that the passenger en-

Right away after Mr.. GilDreath's s
death, his wife, named executrix of
his estate, brought suit against the
Katy, which case came up in the Fed

down upon the home OF old man Avant,
about four miles west of there, entire
ly demolishing his house, only recent

relative OF his who was working for
him. Mr.. Avant was bruised all over
his body and badly shaken up but not
seriously injured. His hired hand was
severely cut on the head by flying
timbers and rendered unconscious but
not seriously hurt
Residents of that immediate com
munity noticed dangerous looking
cloud to the southwest, but none fear
ed more than hard wind and rain at
most Without warning of any kind,
the cloud took on the shape of an in
verted funnel, and soaring high in the
air, took a dip, striking the Avant
house squarely, making kindling wood
of it in short order. The cloud thea
lifted and disappeared. no further
damage being done.
