GIVES VERDICT FOR $500
AGAINST JAMES J. HAMPTON
Justice Gould Also Files an Opinion
in Suit Brought by Georgia
r. Mcuhenny.

Justice Gould Of tho District Supreme
Court has filed an opinion in the case
Of Georgia F. McIlhenny against
James J. hampton in which he gives
judgment for $500 in favor Of Mrs.
McIlhenny against a fund held by
Harry Wardman and others for the
benefit Of Mr.. hampton. The debtor
claimed that the fund was the property
Of the J. ]. hampton Co.. Incorporated.
and that an assignment had been made
Of this fund to Herman W. Van Sender
for value.
In passing upon the claims Of the de-
PENDANT in the course of his opinion
Justice Gould said: Justice must needs
be not only blind but deaf. dumb and
pathetically ineffective to decree that
to defeat the legally established claim
of his creditors these earnings belong
to this phantom alter ego. a shell of a
corporation which has been merely his
business pseudonym. The approval Of
such alterity under the circumstances
of this case Is not consonant with the
administration of Justice"
Attorneys George p. Hoover and Otis
B. Drake represented Mrs. McIlhenny,
who recently filed a bill in equity
against Mr.. hampton and others to re-
strain a sale of the tract known as the
Alliance and seeks to collect a jud9-
ment amounting to $4,000 out Of Mr..
Lampton's interest In the proceeds of a
sale Of the land. The fund allowed by
Justice Gould will be credited on this
judgment. 1t is said.

Unwise Praise

You praise your kid before his
face, explain to callers he's a
peach, the pride and glory of the
race, tine only pebble on the beach.
And soon that kid an aleck grows,
smarty all swelled up with
pride; and people long to twist
his nose and lam the sawdust from
his hide. The greatest bore that
ever was is that obtrusive, for
ward kid, whose parents gave him
wild applause for everything he
ever did. When grave and
thoughtful people call, to talk of
weather and the crops, young
Willie grieves and shocks them all
by his persistent, foolish yawps.
The grave and thoughtful people
look to see the father take a strap,
or strip of board, or shepherds
crook and pound that most an
noying chap. But father smiles,
as does his spouse; he says, "Our
Willie is so gay! He is a sun
beam in the house, he surely
drives ones cares awayw The
callers do not larry long, they
hasten from young Willie's door,
and sigh, "How sweet to take a
thong, and swat that kid until he's
sorep WALT MASON.

boards conception of a free lunch. j"

ICE DOWN TO QUANTICO.
River Coating Heavy Between Mar.
shall Hall and Washington.

According to reports brought here by
the masters of tugs and steamers. the
ice extends as far down the river as
Quantico. but is heavy only between
Marshall Hall and this city.
The river below Quantico IL open.
but most of the fresh water creeks trib-
utary to the Potomac are tightly closed
by their frozen covering. The Ice in
OccoQuan Is reported to be from three
to four inches thick, and in Aqua
creek. Piscataway. Nanjemoy and other
tributaries 1t Is said to be almost as
heavy.
Ice has been cut on the ponds in Vir-
ginia near this city over five inches
thick. and the country people are har-
vesting ice for use next summer. The
above-freezing' temperature of yester-
day had but little effect on the ice in
the river about this city, hut the rain
of today will do much toward soften
ing IL.

Enlisted men Of tho I'd Infantry.

to some of their friends in Washington

their recall from duty on the Mexican

Tho following telegram. signed En-
listed Men Of the I'd Virginia Infantry"
was received in Washington today:
Telegram From Border.
we enlisted men Of tho I'd Virginia
Infantry are forced to cry at last for
our rights and want to know why we
have not received the same courtesy
as other organisations that have been
relieved from border duty. We have
stood the hardshipe of many months
Of strenuous military training. and
have executed every order and COM
mand with the highest efficiency, and
yet We lack confederation.
IF we were to be returned homo in
the order in which We arrived 1t is time
we were receiving our home-going
orders Other troops that have not had
the amount Of border service and train
ing as we have been sent to their
homes months ago.
FOR that reason we think II IL time
that our representatives were doing
something for US, and that we should
be included in the next Organizations
sent home. We honestly believe that
II the proper pressure 10 brought to
bear upon tho officials by our state
Representatives. we will be the next to
leave. although we have been expect
ing to leave since the first troops were
sent home"
In Gen. Funston's Hands.
Inquiry among Virginia representa-
tives in Congress today developed the
fact that they are acquainted with the
complaints Of some of the mon of the
I'd Infantry. Ono Virginia member Of

militiamen and that he had been told
that the selection of regiments for re-
turn from border duty IL entirely in
the hands of Gen. Funston In charge at
San Antonio. Tex, of Mexican border

Similar statements are made at the

There is movement at England to detch three townships from Lonoke ounty-Williams, Lafayette and Gumwoods-and annex them to Pulas- Xxi county. These three townships and Eagle township would then be formed into district, with England as the judicial seat.
 An enthusiastic meeting was held at England few days ago to boost the proposition. The England Democrat says:
 At the meeting committees were appointed to carry petitions to every district in the three townships named this week and it is hoped to have the bill introduced as soon as possible. Assurances have been given by repre- sentatives in the Legislature that everything will be done to have It pass. 1t is proposed to make a dis triet composed of the three townships named and Eagle township in Pulaski county with England as the seat of the court, having a clerk and deputy sheriff in the court house at all times with term of circuit court at regu- lar periods. Several men are now hard at work presenting the petitions to the citizens affected"
