Mr. Willie J. Stephens, Jr. of Adrian had attempted to qualify for Treasuer but was told he had to live in the county for 12 months. He did not think this was right so he wrote a letter to Attorney-General Clifford Walker. By the time he got his letter back from Walker it was too late to qualify. He had been misinformed. The law requires that for a man to run for county office, he must be a quailified voter and a resident of the county for only 6 months, not 12 months. Needless to say he was upset.

The large dwelling house on the Raines place out about 5 miles from town belonging to Mr. R. P. Hicks was destroyed by fire Saturday night. It was uninsured and the loss is complete. It is believed to have been an incendiary fire.

Deputies W. T. Rowland and M. L. Jackson are determined to breakup shine making between the city and Idylwild. After settling hash of two last week on Saturday night they went back not far from the same house and made another discovery where the tin can, a few old pipes and bottles and the materials for making it were in use by a colored man who was taken into custody and landed in jail. Two full quarts were unearthed under the door steps where it had been hidden by the shiner.
