veloped I'm the Sixth district court today.
The state sprung n surprise by produc-
ing witnesses who had been hired to OBJ
tain evidence.
The complaint was that Byron G. Bur
rows had set up and maintained a game
OF policy I'm building on Canal street.
A. a. Howard OF the sophomore class
and G. w. Dealtry OF the Junior class
were tho main witnesses. Howard be-
longs In Wakefield. Mass. and Dealtry
at Bryantville. Mass. They swore that
they played policy and paid Burrows for
the slips on Dec. ~. 1902.
on cross-examination Gen Brennan OBJ
tained the information that the students
were employed by the Rev. A. II. Cristy
OF the Watch and Ward society to secure
evidence against Burrows.
After the state had put in its case and
there was no chance OF hedging or cor
rectng mistakes Gen. Brennan arose and
said:
May ~ please the court. had the
honor 10 try the first criminal case your
honor had before him. and I am of the
oriniOn that have tried the last one"
Gen. brennan had reference TO the cur
rent rumor that new supreme court
judEeship was 20 be created, ana that
Judge Swcetlanc was TO he elected
thereto.
The Judge facotiously inquired II the
remark was intended TO have any infiu-
enCc with the court this reference being
on account OF Gen. Brennan's well-known
propensity for springing funny sayings.
NO. your honor said Gen. Brennan.
II don't expect to find you upon this
bench when this case comes up ON Dec.
~. 1909"
There was a look OF surprise on all
faces save upon the lineaments OF the
doughty general. He had discovered earS
in the trial that tho warrant. which had
been drawn by Chief Mathews was dated
law.
There was nothing 20 be done but 90

Judge Sweetland did.

DEBT PAYING.

The ubiquitous bill collector has a
hard times He has hard time be-
cause people against whom he has bills
won't pay him promptly. They put
him off for divers and sundry reasons
some of the reasons valid. most OF them
silly and inaccessible.
That entirely too much annoyance is
given the patient bill collector when it
could easily be avoided, it is the gem
eral verdict of business mems There
are few people who cannot pay their
bills promptly on the first of every
month, and those who cannot should
have clear understanding with mer-
chants and others whom they patron
ize that they are not prepared on the
first to meet their obligations. 1t is
readily understood that there are cases
when a man finds 1t absolutely im-
possible to pay up on the first. Under
such circumstances the collector has to
be lenient.
The fact is reported that men reput-
ed to be worth big money invariably
put collectors off, and also that the
gilt-edged ones can be counted on the
fingers of the hands. These latter
are never so busy that they cannot at
tend to the collector, and they pay
their bills with cheerfulness which
makes collecting from them, not a
nightmare, but q real pleasure. Dublin

MARIETTA.

The Georgia number of ''Harper's
Weekly" is before us, and is a very
creditable publication. There lis only
one brief article in it about Marietta.
The illustrated edition of the Marietta
Journal surpasses it as far as benefit to
Marietta is concerned. The following
is the article from Harper's Weekly
advertising this city:
Marietta, the eounty-seat of Cobb
county, is twenty miles north of At
lanta on the Western and Atlantic
Railroad. This little city is at the
foot of historic Kennesaw Mountain,
and has itself an elevation of 1882 feet.
Marietta has an excellent climate,
the average temperature from Novem-
Der till April being fraction over 46
degrees, and averaging 81 degreesIthe
rest of the year. The town is noted as
a health resort the year round. There
ARE good systems OF water-works and
electric lights, fine public schools,
churches of all denominations, an opera
house and public library With pop
ulation of only 5000. the amount
of postal business done through the
city Office now entities Marietta to free
city mail delivery, the county being al
ready covered by rural free delivery.
In Marietta are two of the largest
chair factories Of the South, the largest
paper mill in the South, four marble
yards, and large plant for finishing
marble. Other industries, such as knit
ting-mills, machine-shops and found
ries, make the total weekly payroll,
approximately, $1,000. All the marble
from the famous qnarries of north
Georgia, which goes to every State in
the Union, is shipped through Marietta
by way of the Atlanta, Knoxville, and
Northern Railway. A spur-track of
the Seaboard AIR Line will soon reach
the town, and as two lines of the
Southern Railroad already run through
the county, the freight receipts are
quite considerable.
Cotton is the staple crop, but much
attention is given to truck-farming,
dairying, raising of poultry, and the
cultivation of peaches"

A BILL has been introduced in the
legislature by Representative Cole of
Walker which if it is made law will
do away with the sending of election
returns to county seats by messengers,
for which service a good round fee
must in many cases be paid The bill
provides that the judges at each voting
place, as soon as they have completed
the count of the vote, shall select one
man to mail the returns to the county
auditor by registered mail. The man
SO selected is guilty of a misdemeanor
if the returns are not mailed within
twenty-four hours after the count is
completed. Two copies of the returns
are to be mailed, securely tied and
sealed in a heavy envelope. The in
tent Of the bill is. to prevent fixing of
returns which in sparsely settled por-
lions of the State under existing con-
ditions is possible. A bill similar in
it's provisions has been introduced by
Representative Bondy of Otter Tail.
The bill applies only to voting pre-.
cincts more than twelve miles from the
county seat and is designed solely to
save long journey by messengers.

MEMBERS of the Masonic fraternity
will look with much disgust upon the
exhibition of the "Oriental," a mid.
night orgy that is produced by some OF
the Chicago Masons who have LONG
since passed the blue lodge stage OF
Masonry and do not appear to have
been benefited much in doing so. The
"Orlental' that was given in Chicago
last week is said to have been the
worst 'stag'' entertainment ever given
in Chicago and that is saying a good
deal In justice to Masonry it is said
that the affair has not the moral nor
social support of legitimate Masons
who represent something more elevat-
ing than the ''Oriental'' exhibition.

HON. CHARLES ALL1NG alderman of
the Second ward of the city of Chicago,
has an article in the Commercial West
on the problem of municipal ownership.
Mr.. Alling is no enthusiast, as he says
that the city of Chicago has already
repudiated its just obligations to citi-
zens and tax payers of that city, and
says that the city's record with the
water department. has been one of fail
ure and Reputation. He says: Scare
full financiers say that the investment
has paid the city not to exceed two per
cent on the amount invested. Then
the city has issued about three hundred
thousand dollars worth of certificates
to property owners who have advanced
money to lay water mains in new
streets. These certificates are to be
repaid when the pipes pay revenue of
ten cents per lineal foot per annum.
out of any funds available in the water
fund.- Nearly all these pipes are pay
ing the required revenue, and vet the
city says to the holder of the certif-
Gates: There are no funds available.
Not only does the city refuse to pay
| these just debts, but it. refuses to- re-
fund them by issuing in their stead
new certificates payable at a certain
time and drawing interest," - The city
took about 100000 fifteen years ago as
trustee for those entitled to rebates on
special assessments, and spent this
money for general municipal purposes
in clean violation of the trust. Thous-
and of dollars in bonds issued to con-
tractors for street improvements have
been repudiated, because the assess
ments were illegal and property own
ers refused to pay the assessments. Mr..
Alling says municipal ownership is
right in principle, but thinks there
will have to be better financial and
governmental conditions before it will
become. a reality in Chicago.
