B. Benton, said to be doing business under the name of the Pine Bluff Realty & Trust com pany, for $325 and to secure the null lification of deed to lots 1, 2, 8, and 5 of Leitner's addition No. 4, plaintiff alleges to have given defend ants.
 Taylor charges in hiS petition that he was visited in Mississippi by Messrs. Kimban and Benton who se- cured his consent to trade the lots in the Leitner addition for others repre- scented to him, plaintiff charges, as being 50 per cent nearer the city of Pine Bluff. Plaintiff paid $135 in ad- d!tion to the lots. He says he visited Pine Bluff and was shown by defend ants lots in the Highland addition Gs those he acquired by the trade or ex- change. He was not given the decd, he says, the instrument being left for him at the circuit clerks office. By the terms of this instrument he be- came the owner of lots in the High land Heights addition.

ANOTHER MOVE IN GOING LAW FIGHT Colored Citizens File Alp peal From Decision of
 County Court. WANTS HIS LOTS BACK Mississippi Negro Alleges in Suit Against A. $. kimball and E. E. Ben- ton That He Did Not Receive the
 Lots He Traded For.
WANTS HIS LOTS BACK

Another move iB the warfare against the Going act was taken yes- terday when there was filed in the Jefferson county circuit court an ap- peal from the decision of County Judge c. M. Philpot denying the peti- tion of Fred Havis and other colored citizens, who pleaded that the court would not consider the petition for the licensing of saloons, filed under the Going act, contending that this deprived them of rights and was un- constitutional.
 The petition of the colored citizens against the consideration of the peti ti0n for license was filed early in January and was denied by Judge Philpot on January 12. Since then the Pine Bluff contest has been de- scided by the county court in favor of the petitioners for licensing saloons, and the Prohibitionists or remon- strants have taken an appeal from the decision.
 The colored citizens are now ap- pealing from the decision denying their petition for the rejection of the licensing petition, and while 1t ap- pears On the face that the colored people are on the side of the Prohibit tionists, it is thought that the filing of the appeal is. a move to carry the question to the United States supreme court.
 In passing upon the Going law re- gently, the Arkansas supreme court ruled that tho isSup Of it's conflict with certain clauses of the state con- stitution could only sbe brought into court by the class affected, who were not complainants in the case then un- der consideration.
 Those who signed the petition and in whose. names the appeal is taken are Fred Havis, J. w. Parker, H. L.. Jordan, D. w. Young, A. H. Goodlow, M. R. Perry, David Davis. John Hill, H. c. Cobbs and J. w. Edwards.

ANOTHER TRIP FOR :
 GREETERS PLANNED
Will Be Taken to See the Eastern Section of
 the City

The trip over industrial and residential Birmingham made Wednesday by the Hotel Greeters' association was voted such a great success that the Chamber of Commerce Is disposed to make another trip of the same nature, carrying the greeters to the eastern section of Bir- mingham, the Roebuck club property and its environs.
 Assistant Secretary W. Blanks Everett of the civic chamber yesterday said that such a trip probably would be made in the near future taking in Avondale, Woodlawn, East Lake and the Roebuck Springs property.
 Harden H. Pitts, manager of sales for the East Lake Land company, said yes- terday afternoon that he thought the east ern section of Birmingham offered much that was attractive from a scenic point of view and that he thought it would be a good idea for the Hotel Greeters to get some first hand informa ton regard ing that part of Birmingham.
 East Lake and Woodlawn are purely residential sections. the middle class of people residing in the two former suburbs of Birmingham. The First avenue road to Roebuck Springs as well as the Un- derwood avenue road is considered one of the best motor drives in the Birming- ham district. The trip to Roebuck is about seven miles.

building. and that the galleries around same had gone down under the weight However. it was all on the inside. and those granite walls stand like the rock of Gibraltar at the head Of Capitol street, Just like they have been doing Tor 75 years.
 As matter of course. the chances are against the old building. The roof has been rotten for many years, the fafters and josts are decayed. and 1t is marvel ous that the massive dome and roof hus not fallen long ago, It would not suiprisc the people of Jackson to see that happen any day, and they all stay out of it. When the roof does fall. as it is bound to do in course of time. the chances ars. shs f portions of the walls will collapse but t., date they are all standing erect
 There are thousands of Mississinpiars who would like to see the old and his- toric building repaired and preserved no matter what the cost, for sentimental as well as business reasons. but they are not so determined on that propositiul that they would make any very serious objep- tion if the legislature should order it dy- namited ont of existence. Jackson want something done with It. and will demand that something at the hands of the next legislature.

OLD CAPITOL AT JACKSON
 CONTINUES TO CRUMBLE
By E. F. FaANz

Jackson, Miss, September 1o.-tSpeciaD. The impression seems to have gone out over the state that considerable portion of the old capitol building has collapsed, fallen down, and is completely out of commission, but such is not the case
 An outside view of the building shows it just as it has stood for three quarters of century. except that blocks of stone cornices have fallen off, and on the back or west end the wall is out of plumb. That has been the case for 20 years or more.
 One day last week there was ! loud noise in the north end of the capitol, fol- lowed by a scloud of dust. It was sup posed by those who sat around the lawn. enjoying the shade of the big water oaks on the front side of the building that it was falling. and judging by the vay they cleared the vacant spaces in front of them they had an idea they were go- ing to be caught under ton or two ot stone.
