of the regiment. He was always
brave, courteous, devoted to his duty,
and thoughtful of others. He loved
his family, and was a true son and a
devoted brother. He confided in me
as in no other; I knew him and loved
him. And if my sorrow is great, and
hard for me to bear, how well l know
what yours is. But dear friend, his
was a glorious death, freely given in
a cause he loved. and who shall say
that as life left his temporal body
his soul was not Immediately trans
planted into that Heaven which is the
hope and refuge of all good people.
His soul vas purged of all dross and
u~nworthiness. He made the supreme
sacrifice, and great will be his re-
ward. While he is gone in the flesh,
we can remember that his spirit is
with us yet, chat "the elements were
so mixed to him that Nature might
stand up and say to all the world
this was a man."
May Gods tender mercy tighten
the burden'of your loss, and may you
find satisfaction in his great love for
mankind.
With kindest regards and best wish
es for all your family, l am

'aa.BE ISSUED SOON
Law Suit Which Has Been Long Pend
ing In Court, Decided Making
Issuance Possible.

At the May meeting of Board of Su-
pervisors, $4,000 OO in bonds will be
advertised to be sold, the money to be
applied on the county contracts for
improving and building the public
highways. These bonds were ordered
issued in 1916 but a long suit in the
Supreme Court, contesting the vail
dity of the issuance, has been pending,
which has held up the Board of Sup
ervisors from acting in the matter.
This suit was settled and a decision
was yesterday rendered in favor of
the county, which permits the issu-
ance of the bonds.
In 1916, the state legislature passed
an act, providing for the issuance of
5000, 900 in bonds for road
A suit was filed in the Supreme Court
to test the constitutionality of the
act. The Supreme Court held that the
act was valid. An election was held
and the matter Oh, issuing the bonds
was carried. The county then issued
p1Oos Ooc LII JULIUS lOl 1Odu DuIUOSCS,
The county board did not then issue
+; the remaining bonds on account of the
European war.
! In 1918 the legislature passed an
act which is contained in Chapter 2O9,
which prohibits a county or munich
pallty from issuing bonds unless an
, election is first held, in which the ma
jority of the qualified electors are in
structed to vote for the issuance. Then
the bonds can only be issued in serial
form.
At,the January meeting the remain
ing 100000 in bond were ordered is
sued by the board. The bond COM
panies, however, upon the advice of
their attorneys, refused to buy the
bonds on the grounds that the act of
| 1918 repealed the local act of 1916.
An injunction suit was then filed, re-
straining the Board Of Supervisors
from issuing the $500, O0O, because of
the passage of the act of 1918.
The county board then appointed
Gardner, McBee and Gardner, attor-
neys, to answer the injunction suit.
The injunction was dismissed by the
Chancellor, holding that the act of
1918 did not repeal the act of 1916.
An appeal was then made to the Su-
preme Court.
Yesterday the county's attorneys
received a message, stating the Su-
preme Court had affirmed the action,
holding that the act of 1919 does not
prevent the issuance of the bonds or
repeal the act of 1916.
