that the Federal Government has no
jurisdiction.
When Prosecutor Seldom was ask
ed for an explanation of his state
ment that the evidence against Poth-
cir, as well as that against Rosen-
bluth, SO far was insufficient, not
withstanding the fact that Pothier is
alleged to have confessed, he said:
my own opinion in the matter is
that Pothier has screw loose. His
own confession fails to show that he
had direct, official order from Cap
tain Rosenbluth to kill Major Cron-
khite. No man in his right senses, it
now appears to me, would have done
what Pothier in his alleged confess
ion said he did, in the absence of a
direct order. Confession alone is not
enough upon which to secure convict
ion.

Matters.
HANDLE SCHOOL MONEY

The Merchants Association went
after matters of Importance in the
city and county last night. The meet
ing lasted quite a while and the dis
cussion was general on a number of
subjects which concern every indi-
vidual in the city and county.
Not only the schools, and the vote
on the coming bond issue were dis
cussed, but the railroad crossings
were considered, and the danger to
Southern was condemned for leaving
the only crossing that the people
have to get to Five Points, while the
streets are being paved, unguarded,
terday afternoon by the Flying
switch when a freight car ran down
on Mr.. Phillips and serious injured
him and tore his car to pieces.
They also condemned the way the
Coast Line has of compelling the
passengers to alight from the Pull
mans between Green street and Nash,
and crowd them into the ditch, along
side the road.
1t was unanimously agreed to in
sist that these bitches be tiled, and
the ground leveled up. The rough
crossings on both the Norfolk and
Southern and the. Coast Line were
characterized as slouchy and re-
Election upon our progressive city, to
say nothing of the fact that cars and
vehicles are injured as they jostle
across the tracks.
Criticism was made of the way the
express company handles perishable
matter at this point, by closing up
early in the afternoon and leaving
even fowls in the Office, which suffer
for lack of food, and are dead by
Monday. Some of the members want
ed to indict the officials here for
cruelty to animals. This matter will
be taken up with the Corporation
Commission, and if matters are not
remedied, criminal action will be
taken against the local officials who
allow animals and fowls to suNer in
this way, because they are too lazy to
give the merchants of the city ade-
quate service.
The matter of the schools came up
on a motion to endorse the bond is
! sue to be voted on soon to provide
ADEQUATE facilities for the children
of this township. No objection was
raised as to increased facilities for
the school, the necessity for this was
admitted by every one, but there was
| a general expression of opinion as
to the muterings that are heard
from all parts of the county as to
the way the money is being spent for
buildings in a haphazard and unbusi-
ness like way. Schools are started and
never finished, materials are hauled
out and allowed to go to waste, no
publication is made of school expen-
ditures, accounts are allowed to run,
and creditors are made to wait inde-
initely for their money.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted to ask the school board to

The old form on which national
banks were required to make the

was found to be involved and
lengthy and it is expected the new
form will be more standardized and
shorter.
Requests for information as fl
salaries of bank officials and en-
ployees as called for in the old
form would probably not be included
