Mounted PatrOIman Caused a Lively
Excitement by Shooting Canine.
A dog supposed to have been suffer-
ing with rabies was killed yesterday
at No. 316 Anderson street, east, by
Mounted Patrolman J. A. Woods, at the
request of the owner. The canine had
been acting strangely for several days
and developed what appeared to be
symptoms of hydrophobia. 1t was fear
ed that the dog might bite some men,
Der of the household, and the officer
was requested to end its misery.
The shooting took place in the yard,
and two bullets were sent crashing
through the CANNES head by the pa
trolman. Woods proved good marks
man. and both balls entered the head.
The shooting caused considerable ex-
citement in the neighborhood. and at
tracted quite a crowd.

II is interesting to trace the geograph-
zeal trend of political power In Geor-
ola since the days of Oglethorpe. and
70 seek to discover it's cause. After
Revolutionary times the rich middle
section of the state was rapidly devel-
oped and populated, and while Savan-
nab and the seaboard section were
nnietly engaged in commercial pur-
suits, their brethren to the northward,
who were nearer the state capital and
who enjoyed better opportunities for
political achievement, were more sue
ressful in bearing away the guberna-
torial honors at each succeeding cleo
tion. Hence we see the line of guberna-
torial succession transferred to Au-
eusta, thence northwestward across
the state.
From study of the situation it ap-
pears that South Georgia is certainly
short on governors, and that If geo
graphical location is to be considered
in the next election. Our section most
assuredly deserves consideration.

The report of the arbitrators ap-

tween ]. C. Buckheit and Kiene &
Nell was filed yesterday in the office
of the clerk of the Superior Court and
spread on the minutes of the court.
Kiene e. Nell were lessees of the res
taurant of the Central Hotel on West
Broad street, which they sub-leased TO
Buckheit. He contended that he had a
lease on the premises for an indeh-
mite number of months and that the
only matter not arranged between him
and Kiene g. Nell was the rental he
should pay. The arbitrator decided In
his favor that his lease was for a cal
endar year, and, as they had been en-
nowered to do, fixed the reasonable
rental of the restaurant at $40 per
month.

afternoon. The c. L. AS have strong
team, which probably will show little,
IF any, changes from the lineup of re-

in the game. They are Schreck, who
will play second base, Cummings, who
will hold down third, Mcbride, short,
and Wernst, who will pitch half of the
game. The other half will be pitched
by Jerry O'Connor, whose cleverness as
a twirler is we'll known.

The commissions were estimated at the

The claim of the trustee for fees had
been disallowed by the court on the
ground that returns had not been filed

There was a large attendance at the
New Empire Theatre last evening 10 en-
joy the first change of bill of Katherine
Rober ana her company Of players. The
work of the different actors was well APP
plauded. and the fascinating play OF
'Rosedale," or THE Rife Ball" was
given.
This piece was written by Lester Wal
lack and was one of his greatest sue
cesses. lie was seen as Elliot Grey years
ago and his work in It was never sur
passed during his fine theatrical career.
1t is very interesting story OF English
life and the story has humor and other
factors OF human interest. The story Is
not now as lively one as when II was
told. but IL furnishes amusement that IL
better than frivolity.
Louis Leon Hall plays the part of Ell
liot Grey in a manner that is well In
keeping with the story lie is cool. pa
tient and yet always reaches n climax at
the proper time. Hal Clarendon makes
an excellent Matthew Leigh the ply
sician. and the not very pleasing part Of
Col Cavendish May Is taken by Franklyn
Hall. This part is really one OF the pc
Culiar ones or the piece. IL rs a villain :
part and yet the villain Is OF the kid glove
kind and IL is never boisterous not even
when foiled.
The very amusing character OF Dun
berry Kobb Is made the most ef-by Ha-
rold Kennedy. and James Gordons work
as Miles McKenna, the GYPSY leader, Is
bright and spontaneous. Miss Rober as
Rosa Leigh shows her varied qualities as
an actress. for she is fresh and charm
ing I'm the young girls part. The char
acter is not an easy one and yet i'm Miss
ROBBERS hands all the difficulties slip
away. Miss Edith Crollus Ives gives an
excellent portrayal of the part OF Tabitha
Stork.
The piece. as are all plays produced by
Miss ROBBERS company, was well staged.

friends last night I'm their singing act:
Finley and Simmonds made every one
