ROAD SUIT REVERSED.
Supreme Court Decides in Favor Of
Supervisors on Rodney Road.

Supreme Court Decides in Favor of
Supervisors on Rodney Road.
The supreme court handed down a
decision Monday in the matter Of the
Board of Supervisors Of Claiborne
county VS.. w. S. Calender ct al rela-
tive to the change Of the Rodney road.
The court reversed the decision of
Chancellor Cutrer, and dismissed the
suit.
It will be remembered that $4,000
had been set aside by the county with
With to repair the Rodney road. Lat
er the board Of supervisors decided to
change the road, at the suggestion Of
a petition signed by most Of the resi-
dents in that section of the county, to
the old Brninsburg road. Still later
another petition, protesting against
the charge, signed by many who had
signed the first petition, was present
ed to the board, but this was ignored.
The petitioners, headed by w. S. Cal
lender, brought suit to enjoin the
board from using the $4,000 set apart
for work on the road, and Chancellor
cutrer granted the injunction.
1t is doubtful whether the final dis
position of the controversy amounts
to anything, as the money has been
used for other purposes.

pIsHoP BRATroNs ADDRESS.
Talked Ably on sThe Christian Rela-
fion Of the Races

Bishop Bratton addressed rather
small, but strongly sympathetic aud
ienee at the court house last Friday
night, his address being the first of d
series of Library Extension" lectures
given under the auspices of the Clai-
borne County Library Board.
The subject was "The Christian Re
lation Of the Races" meaning the
white and colored races in the United
States.
Beginning with the statement that
the first Negro slaves in the colonies
for some seventy years or so were
not slaves for life, but rather undent-
ured servants, and that much sorrow
would have been saved if that original
status could have continued, the lee
turer went on to picture the relation
of master and slave as he knew and
remembered it on his fathers planta-
tion in South Carolina. 1t was a cor
dial and friendly relation, full Of re-
sponsible care on the one side and of
loyalty on the other. The story is one
that has been told by many narrators,
but it is doubtful whether any one has
told it better than did Bishop Brat
ton. The story itself has the great
est historical and sociological value.
This relation of affection and trust
withstood the shock of war, as the
loyalty of slaves in the absence of
their masters proves; but it could not
withstand the strain of Reconstruc-
ton. Unscrupulous men, both Gear
petbaggers" and "scalawags,, sowed
the seeds of distrust, and alienated
the two races. To restore friendly
and mutually helpful relation without
the status of slavery is a task to
which every patriotic American must
devote himself. Unrestricted fran
chise for Negroes is not desirable.
The more thoughtful Negroes them
selyAs acknowledge this. But they
are entitled to some sort of represen-
tation and this is best secured by
system Of conferences between Negro
leaders and the white men who gov
ern. Such conference need not have |
legal status, but should be earnestly |
maintained in every community.
The Bishop was introduced with |
taste and dignity by Prof. w. C. 1
Guthrie, member of the Library |
Board.
Twom ore lectures in the Library
Extension" series may be expected |
during the remainder Of the season;
one by DIR. Shayler Matthews, the
other by the Hon. B. G. Humphreys.

CATTLE m BAD CONDITION.
Winter Has Been Unusually Mild, but
Stock Suffered Greatly.

Cattle throughout the country are
looking very bad and msay have died
during the winter, though this has
been one Of the miIdest winters on
record. Just why it has been so Sc
we're on cattle is a mystery.
From every part of the county
,omes the same complaint, that
should there be severe sleet at the
end Of the season, the losses to stock
would be enormous.
Some stoekmen contend that the ex-
tremely dry fall left nothing upon
with stock could feed, and as very
few people feed their stock, turning
them upon the range to care for them
selves,th have found very little upon
which to subsist.
