Of the trial board in their cases would
stand when once they got into the hands of
the Commissioners. Indeed, in many cases
the finding Of the board has been set aside
and the officer summariiy dismissed in

into the policeman's fund. This they nat

the dismissal is usually the result of past

The captain receives the daily reports of
the ieutenants, and then they meet the
chief. Daily visits of inspection afe made
to the stations by the captain. Twice. a
year he inspects the uniforms. and at these
times the patrolmen get out their last sea-
sons clothes, and for time they Guido
the achievements of an average clothes
cleaning establishment In their efforts to
get the uniforms in condition to pass the
official scrutiny.
Two Of "the never Sleep members Of the
force are the night inspectors, Pearson and
Cross, and these men are feared more by
the men when on street duty than are any
other members of the department. The
inspectors are accountable to no one while
on duty during the night. They may wear
rubber shoes in true Sherlock Holmes fash
lon or go about with headlight. as they
see fit. but there is one thing that is true
about them, and that is they usually come
upon the violators of the rules when they
are least expected.
The Detective Bureau.
Another member of the majors immedi-
ate staff Is the chief of detectives, Inspec-
tor L. Fl. Hollinberger. who is in constant

Is his duty to prevent as well as to detect
crime.
He has been a member of the police force
since 1867 and has won his many promo
items because of his sterling qualities. Be-
fore the war he was a country school

OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS.

Saturday is the day devoted by the
farmers and their labOrers to business
in town, and that day never fails to
bring a large crowd to Dawson and
give to the streets busy scene. Wag-
ons and vehicles of every description
are to be seen, and crowds of people
from miles around throng the business
thoroughfares. And the best part of
it all is that they come here for bust
ness. AS the sun gets low they turn
the heads of their horses toward home,
and in each wagon or buggy are num-
erous purchases of the day.

A Funny Incident That Occurred In Ma

That was very funny incident in
Macon last Thursday evening when
young Mr.. Blount lost his temper be-
cause he happened to mention the name
Of Charles F. Crisp, and by SO doing won
all the applause which he got in his
speech. 1t was this way: Mr.. Blount
was introducing Mr. Hoke Smith, when
he CHANGED to refer to Mr.. Crisp. Just
as all the audiences in Georgia do, in
this day and time, this one went wild.
1t was several minutes before MI Blount
could say a word. Every time he would
get ready to begin the cheering would
break out afresh. At first, just little
hacked" he cried:
That's right; cheer away. We sent
out 200 postal cards to get you silver
ties here to make converts of you.''
Poor Mr.. Blount! He should not lose
his head because people cheer Mr..
Crisps name. 1t is common thing.

and some love him for the enemies he
