The feht, which has been waged be fore the Home, committee on coontiea, cities, towns and townships, over the proposed removal of the county seat of Jaekaon count; from' Webster te Sylra, was transferred to the floor of the House today and after a sharp de late of an hour and a quarter it wan passed on its second reading on a roll call yote. The New Court Houce. We- have learned that there is a till doubt as to the wisdom of building a new court house in the minds of some of Franklin's best citirens. One of this number was in our office the past week and after we had talked the mat ter ever with him oniy a short while he said *1 am now willing to agree with you and think we ought to nave a new court house." But this same gentleman expressed the opinion that it would be nothing more than right that the county furnish the lot with the understanding that the town Keep it up and make a nice public square en it. No w we would not be. 8? much in favor of a new court house, barring county pride, if only men had to attend court. We have seen some as uice ladies as the county pos sesses in the court house, had to be there and right here is where we want to register our nrotest against the present building. So far as we are personally concerned it don't make much differeuce as if our wife or daugh ters had to attend court wh would make arrangements to send for them when they were wanted, but for a per son in the country they can't do this And we don't believe .you would want your wife or daughters to sit in the court room hearing all kinds of cases and be thrown with all classes of p jo f)le: We need a court room fitted with adies reception or witness rooms and teilets and trentleifien's witness rooms and toilets. It should also have J : i vate co us u1i.it ion rooms, retaining cells' fpr* pi-isoherfc, a *;rar.a jury mom and many other conveniences. In a f-iw years the vaults' in the present court house will be overflowing Manv of you will remember that no It. jer than last week or week before .mot thr re was hardly room enough in the- audi ct> riu n to accomodate those ?f you who were summoned here and had to attend court. AH these render the preset court house, wholly unfit "for a! county like Franklin. Airain there is always some person or organisation wanting to use the court room for some private purpose, so why not build a new court house and retain the old one making the old square a public square, preserve the old build ing and let this class of people use the auditorium in that. It could also be used for the' grand jury. The vaults could be changed back to offices and the six offises would more than main tain the building, and the town could maintain the square. Rev. W. W. Rose Dead. One of the saddest events in the history of the town was the death of Rev. W. W. Ryse, which occurred Wed nesday afternoon at twenty-five min utes after one o clock. Apparently in Rood health he occupied the pulpit of His church Sunday morning with Pre siding Elder .1. II. Hall of this district when communion was held, preaching in the afternoon at Wesley's and occu pying the pulpit of his church here with Mr. Clements of the Christian church, who preached Sunday night. At the night service Mr. Rose made a special appeal t? sinnert in the con gregation to come ferward and give their hearts to God, this was his last work for the Master. He waa taken Monday and grew steadily worae until the end. He was seat by the confer ence to us three years ago last Novem ber and was serving hii fourth and last year with us as he could net have been returned. Since he has been with us he has won the hearts not only of his denomination but all who knew him loved him as few pastors are loved. A gloom seemed to have been caat ever the entire community whan his death was . announced. His remains were taken to Pittsboro Thursday for inter ment. He was 50 years old, leaving a wife and Ave sons, Robt., June, Wil liam, Edwin, and Lewis aad two daughters Mrs. Terrell and Mary Exum ? Kranklinton correspondent. Alex N. Munn Dies Suddenly Alexander Neil Munn, assistant su perintendent of the Arizona Eastern, in charge of the mechanical departmeqt of this division, died early yesterday morning at hiB residence in the Ever green addition', after a brief illness from an affection of the heart. He waa strick en but a few days ago and whrlo it was considered from tho fl st that his con dition was such as to entail grave fears for his recovery, it waa not until Mon day morning that hope was virtually abandoned. He passed away early yes terday morning after having been in a stato bordering on coma for aoout twenty-Tour hours. Than Asf istant Superintend^ Munn, ! the Arizona Eastern had no tnore-efflo ient and highly respected official. He was a man universally liked and admir. | ed by all with whom he e?me in con tact either in ? business or asocial way Superintendent C. M.

One year ago last August, Mr. Munn journeyed back to Loiusburg, N. ?. , where he married Miss Erin Shipp. The happy couple made a trip to Canada and then came to Phoenix and took up their residence here. Two months ago a son was born to make life more hap py and this child together with the wid ow, survive. In-addition, his aged fath er is living as well as three sisters and two brothers. Owing to the fact that these live at such distant points it is expected that but one brother can ar rive here in time for the funeral, he having started twenty-four hours before Mr. Munn'n death and being expected to arrive here on Thursday. There were a thousand and one de tails to the work Assistant Superinten dent Munn had in charge, lie was ac tively engaged in various branches of the shop work in this city,, having charge of the insta lation of all mechan ical parts. In addition he was at' all times in touch with all matters mechan ical requiring attention 'upon any part ?f tfie t'hoenix revision. In speaking of the death of Mr. Munn, Superintendent Scott said last evening that the Arizona Eastern had lost a man whose place will be hard to 111. He was very efficient and stood high in the esteem ol every official of tbe Arizona Eastern as well as in the esteem of all railroad men In the south west. Funeral arrangements have been de ferred pending the arrival o( the broth er on Thursday. ? Republican, Phoenix, Ariz.
