J. l.. Godfrey, Editor of North anG
South and Agent for the L. & N. Rail
road, who promoted the trip of the
Florida farmers to Maury county last
week, has written the Board Of Trade
praising the county and the reception
that was given the visitors by the
people. Mr.. Godfrey states that many
of the men have expressed their inten.
ton of returning to Maury at the
earliest possible date to purchase live
stock. When the farmers were pass
ing through Kentucky. Mr.. Godfrey
states, they remarked that Tennessee
would have hard time beating the
Blue Grass section; but after the visit
to Maury county, they declared that
this state was far in advance of Ken
lucky. Mr., Godfrey expresses the deep
appreciation that the farmers feel for
the splendid treatment accorded them.

the only thing that gave nae relief

Mr.. 9. w. Henderson os Dingle,

suffered with cystitis Inflammation

reached the point where he had dizzy,
weak spells, and sometimes he would
almost faint with pain. OF course,
he doctored, went on to the mineral
springs and drank waters OF diferent
kinds. which altogether cost MIN o
large sum of money. Still NO per-
manent relief. Now comes q friend
who recommends Foley Kidney Pills,
and after using half dozen bottles,
his pains are. all gone, he sleeps
soundly all night.

the work on same. Of the money col
9ected bySWisener from, Crawford. Muir
ply received $3.50 per day for each
days use Of the team.
when this matter of hiring the
team to Crawford was called to Muir
phys attention he undertook to pre-
vent Wisener from hiring this team
to Crawford, but when Wisener threat
ened suit on his contract, Murphy,
after advising with counsel, continued
to allow Wisener to hire the team to
Crawford and received money for such
hiring and this continued through the
year 1914. When Murphy made his
contract with Wisener in the fall OF
1914 for the year 1915 he made the
same kind of a contract saying nothing
about hiring the team to the county
and all during the year 1915 Wisener
continued to hire himself and Mr.. Muir
phys team to Mr.. Crawford and Mr..
Murphy continued to draw. $3.50 for
each day the team worked on the
county roads. Mr. Crawford paid
Wisener $3.50 per day for himself and
the team, OF which Wisener got 81
and Murphy $3.50. This was reason
able price for the team and driver.
Quite lot Of hauling was done by
Wisener for Crawford in the year 1914
and about the same amount in 1916.
"The law APPLICABLE to these facts is
found as Sec. 1888 of Shannon's Code
which is as follows:
1T shall not be lawful for any off,
Ger, committeeman, director, or other
person, whose duty it is to vote for,
let out, overlook, or in any manner to
superintend any work or any contract
in which any public municipal corpora
ton, county, or the state, shall or may
be interested, to be directly or indir-
ectly interested in such contract"
81 am requested to file a bill or petit
ton against said Murphy under the
provisions of Chapter II, acts OF 1915,
commonly known as the "ouster law
part of the first paragraph of which
is as follows:
Sec. l. Be it enacted, ETC., that
every person holding any Office oil
trust or profit under and by virtue of
any of the laws of the state of Tenn
essee, either state, county or munich
pal Office who shall knowingly or will
fully misconduct himself in office y y |
4 X y shall forfeit his Office and
shall be ousted from such Office in the
manner hereinafter provided"
From all of which ] have reached |
the conclusion that John H. Murphy,
commissioner, during the
year 1915, held an Office of trust OF
profit in Maury county; that as such
highway commissioner 1t was his duty i
10 overlook and superintendent the |
working Of the roads in the ninth dis
trict of Maury county and that he, the
said Murphy, was indirectly interested
in Cranford's contract with Wisener
10 work on the roads AID the fact that
lie knew of Wisener's working the
'oads with his (Murphy's) team in
LS14 would render him guilty OF will
ully and knowingly misconducting
himself in Office in allowing this hiring
o continue during the year 1915.
81 will therefore Immediately pre-
Dare and fle petition that said Muir
Thy be ousted from the Office of county
Highway commission.

guard at the work house temporarily
by the county highway commission
and continued to serve for several
months. This contract was made
between the county highway commits
sion and Grove, the county court OF
which Grove was a member, having
nothing to do with the contract-the
work house and all it's dealings OF
every kind being governed and con-
trolled solely by the highway commits
sioners who are not members of the
county court. 1t is my opinion that
Sec. 1888 of the Code, quoted above,
does not apply to this case.
ALSO in case of state ex rel VS.. Al
len Holt which went up from this coun-
,ty several years ago it was held that
Holt, justice of the peace, should
not be ousted from office although he
had been elected poor house COM
missioner by the quarterly court itself
and he, the said Holt, received compen-
sation from the county for his work
as such commissioner.
E'In regard to the complaint made
against ]. T. Wilkes, S. D. Glenn, j. j.
pogna and Allen Holt.
Il find that these justices sold var
ious articles to the work house and
other county Institutions and under
takings, but ! find no evidences of
overcharge or any advantage being
taken of the county in any way Most
of these justices were merchats whs
sold goods and supplies to the work
house, then situated and operated in
their neighborhoods. These goods and
supplies were received and paid for at
the market price and were bought from
the stores of the justices because of
the fact that they were convenient and
"These cases are identical with the
case of state ex rel vs.. Lowell, which
went to the supreme iourt at the same
time the Allen Holt case was decided
Lowell merchant and justice of peace,
who had a store near where the work
house was operating, sold certain ar
ticles to the work house at the regu-
lar price charged other customers and
the supreme court held that this was
not sufficient to GUST Lowell from the
5tffce Of Justice Of The peace.
These two cases against Holt and
Lowell were brought under Sec. 1888
If Code and the decisions in these
cases have been familiar to the at
torneys and justices Of the peace in
Maury county since they were render
I'd and persons affected have been gov
erned by them. II would not only be
in nae; but would be un-
lair to the justices for me to involve
hem in serious and expensive litiga-
lion when our highest tribunal, by its
Decree, has declared that the acts
Of are not suff1cient1
grounds for custer.
Il therefore, decline to file custer
