Rev. P. E. Birkett formally opened

Dr. Birkett comes well recommend

purposes and intentions.

CERS WHO HANDCUFF TWO
RACES TOGETHER.
In the course of his sermon at the
First Methodist church Sunday .morn
ing Rer. W. T. Haggard, the pastor,
declared his emphatic opposition to
and condemnation of the practice of
officers of the law in handcuffing
white and black prisoners together.
Dr. Haggard was preaching on Judas
betrayal of the Savior and speaking
of his sympathy for all the unfortu
nate and the criminal he said that
only a few days ago he had seen at
the station In Columbia an officer with
a white man and a black man hand
cuffed together.
"And," declared the preacher, "I
want to here and now register my
most emphatic condemnation of the
practice of linking the white and the
black criminal together. It Is enough
to have the shame and humiliation of
crime fastened to a man without the
further humiliation of placing him on
the same plane with the other race.
It should be our mission to lift up and
not tear down. There Is no reason
for heaping Indignities upon the un
fortunate prisoner that we would not
place upon him If he were free."
The remarks of Dr. Haggard were
greeted with several nods of approval
and an occasional amen from the congregation.

the old bridge warrants which are re
ported lost, and which were ad vert is
ed for in The Herald, except two. Tht
stubs of these warrants were in the
county Judge's office, and the stubs do
not show that they have been laid,
but the warrants found were placed
again on the proper stubs. The two
warrants not found were No. 2, issued
to Dr. J. L. Maddux for $300 and num
ber 52, issued to the Maury National
Bank for $500.
"It is practically certain that these
two warrants have been paid," said
Judge McKnight, "as they were is
sued July 1, 1901, and July 8, 19C3;
and neither the bank nor Dr. Maddux
would have let them run that long
without demanding interest"
The only outstanding warrants
against Maury county now, issued by
the county judge, are numbers 292
and 33S, inclusive, and the holders of
these warrants are requested to pre
sent them to County Judge McKnight
for renewal or registration, In ac
cordance with the advertisement
which previously appeared in The
Herald. The total amount of these
warrants are $10,400.
The amount of the warrants which
were reported missing and which were
later found by Mr. McKnight and Mr.
Puryear, was something like $25,000.
The finding of all these except the two
for a total sum of $800 makes the fi
nancial condition of the county plain.
The new system of registration, In
augurated by Judge McKnight, as
sures that there will be no such num
ber of warrants lost from the records
again.
