ROW OVER R. E. LEE
MEMORIAL IN ROME

ROME, Ca. Jan. IA spirited discus
sion has arisen among the Daughters Of
the Confederacy relative to the celebration
of General Lees birthday Sunday at the
First Methodist church.
The program has been made and Rev.
DR.. Frazier, the pastor, selected to deliver
a sermon on the life Of the great Confed-
crate commander. Crosses of honor are
TO be conferred upon a number of veter-
ans.
Since the program and arrangements
have been made a decided protest was
filed by a contingent of the Daughters. A
leading member said: THE use Of the
Sabbath is for Gods glory, not to eulo-
gize Confederate general"
This argument is answered by others Of
the Daughters, as follows:
They held the Mckinley memorial on
Sunday and no criticism was heard. 1t
would be good thing to get all the vet
Grams in church on Sunday"
AS result of the difference OF opinion

WINS CONTEST
OVER WILL
JURY REACHED VERDICT AT IL
O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT-WILL
BE APPEALED.

A verdict in favor of the defendant and
the legally married wife Of Jacob Kries
was rendered in the superior court by the
jury in the famous Jacob Kries will con-
test, which went to the jury at l o'clock
Thursday afternoon.
Jacob Kries, over whose estate valued
al $4,000 the contest has just been waged.
Strasburg, Germany. He came to this
country after a disagreement with his
father about attending a university which
the son did not wish to do. The father
was a wealthy citizen of Germany.
He came to Atlanta and became butch
err. He was an honest, upright man and
readily obtained the esteem OF those who
came in contact with him. He was also
highly educated and a linguist of consid-
cradle ability, speaking as many as four
languages. lb-
He was very successful in his business
career in Atlanta and soon accumulat-
ed a large fortune. About 1863 he met
MRS. Sallie Kries and lived with her, pro-
claiming her, at various times. as his
wife without ever, having secured a mar
riage license or had a marriage ceremony
performed.
He lived in Georgia and Tennessee. Soon
after the close Of the war, he returned
to Atlanta and again by his splendid bust
ness methods accumulated more money.
About 1875 he met Mrs. Meister, whose
husband was at that time living. With
Mrs. Meister he left for Europe and later
was married to her While in Paris, Lon
don and other large cities he spent money
lavishly and lived extravagantly. In a
year or more he returned to IAAarta with
very little of his former wealth.
Mrs. Meister-Kri6si continued to live.
with him as his lawful wife. She died.
and in 1895 Mr.. Kries married Mrs. Marie
Kries, who has now been declared his
lawful widow and heir to his estate which
he accumulated after returning from Eu-
rope. q.ae' m
Mr.. Kries had several cousins who are
now living in Atlanta. He had many
friends in the city, and was regarded at
all times as a very substantial citizen.

Assault-Judge conviots Him.
Yesterday a case was tried before
Commissioner Robnett I'm which Geo.
Hobbs. who lives near Woodford was
charged with aggravated assault.
Hobbs was represented by \ G.. Cruce
and the case was tried before the Judge
without a jury.
The evidence. we understand, show
ed that George Hobbs and Mrs. Jack
Martin had a partnership garden, and
both were privileged to use the yege-
tables that grew therein.
Some little bad feeling arose in the
camp, and report has It that Hobbs
went into the garden and began to pull
up the cabbages. throwing them over
the fence and kicking some up with
his feet and otherwise trying to de
stroy the garden.
There was nothing in the contract
between them that warranted such ac.
tions on the part of either. so Mrs.
Martin demonstrated with Hobbs
about destroying the vegetables

and drew his pistol in threatening
manner, and otherwise intimidated

punishable by a fine Of not less than

what they are doing when they invest

why not build one from Ardmore to
sherman? The distance is only about
sixty.hve miles, and when the people
along the route get settled up the cars
would be crowded all the time
And then a road run by electricity
could be built so cheap. No cutting

make a road bed. or course, right

the road would have to be as straight
