Patrolman Halford had run down

Halford entered the lane at Montgom-

cut off. He had dropped to
the ground and was found by Scully
near the corner. The negro denied
that he had committed any crime. The
patrol wagon was summoned ana the
prisoner was taken to Yamacraw,

PEACHES WERE FINE
IN NORTH GEORGIA.
Excellent Prices Were Obtained by
the Growers.

Excellent Prices Were Obtained by
the Growers.
Rome, Ga, July 31.-In the vicinity
of this city the peach growers have
done remarkably well this year, not
withstanding the fact that the crop
is not more than one-fourth of an av-
erage one. This is due to the fact that
extraordinary good prices have
been received for the fruit And to
say that the fruit is fine is putting it
mildly. 1t is superb, better than any
that has been seen in this section for
a number of previous years.
There is one section, a valley stretch
ing from Summerville to Trion and
Raccoon, which seems to have escaped
the frost of last spring, and here there
is pretty nearly a full crop. Some of
the growers have receiced net more
than $1,000 a car for their peaches.
From the territory in the vicinity of
this city more than 100000 worth of
the fruit has been sold.
Most of this fruit was grown on
land, which a few years ago would
not have brought SO per acre at pub
lie cutlery. 1t is reported that one
man, who has an orchard of thirty
acres, sold his entire crop on the trees
for $1,000
Naturally the farmers in this sec
ton are profoundly interested in peach
growing and there is no doubt that
many trees will be planted in the near
future.

HANDSOME COURT HOUSE

Bainbridge VIII Have an Imposing
and CommOdiOus Structure.
cambridge, Ca, July 31.-The new
Decatur County Court House here.
now nearing completion, is o<ae Of the
handsornest public buildings in the
state, and is far ahead of some Of the
state capitols in architectural beauty
and convenience.
The erection of the building began
little over a year ago, and since that
time much interest has been manifest
ed in it's construction, as ii was the in
tention of the County Commissioners
to make it as handsome as any coun-
ty Court House in the State. Mr.. Alex
ander Blair of Macon is the architect
and Mr.. Nicholas Ittner of Atlanta is
the contractor.
The building is situated in the CEN
trail portion of the city, and covers an
area Of about 100 by $50 feet. It is
two stories high, with a tower on the
southeast corner measuring about 100
feet in hight The inside furnishings
of the building are of great beauty,
being finished in curly pine and oak.
The staircase is of white Georgia mar
BILE, and the celllnBS are Oh Steel must
a, tistically decorated and painted by
Mr.. Cornelius Oatley of Atlanta. In
tact all the furnishings will be in
keening with the handsome structure,
as all the office furnishings, desks and
benches in the court room will be of
solid cXartered oak. The chandelier
that will hang from the center of the
Superior Court room, will be of hand
some construction, and will contain
about nifty incandescent electric lights.
The plans for the judges rostrum and
the jury's box have not been COM
pleted, but it is stated by Architect
Blair that they will be in keeping with
the rest of the building.
At the time the contract was about
to be given out, there was much dis
cussion among the County Commits
sioners as to where the building would
be situated, some wishing to have it
placed on the site now occupied by the
old Court House. but 1t was finally
decided to place it on a site near the
old one, but facing a side street. The
question now occupying the minds of
the Bainbridgeites is what disposition
is to be made of the old Court House
which is situated in the very center of
the city and surrounded bya small park.
The settlement of that question is
awaited anXiously, as the old biuld-
ing has become an "eye-sore" to the
inhabitants of cambridge.

Mr. Edison came here from Orange

He had three companions, and the
whole party seemed to be having a
iollv outing. The inventor was sun
burned and in his brown linen cloth

little like a millionaire.
"The last test l made with my new
batteries was on a 5.000-mile automo-

that test to find out their wearing

most seasoned gear is likely to come
down on the run at the most uneX-
pected moment, and the Reliance's is
no exception to the rule.
Another point that must be consid-
cred in the list of eventualities, how
ever is that the invader carries a pole
mast-a spar that is in one piece. A
topmast is fitted to the lower mast OF
the cup defender and in the event Of
a blow such as would prohibit the lug
ging of a topsail. it is possible to
house or lower this upper spar, thus
reducing the weight aloft with its check
upon the metacenter. Not SO with me

strike or send down, and from the
word go must dance under her whole
spar, no matter how hard the wind
strikes up the tune. In an ordinary
demonstration of sea and air this great
weight aloft would in no way inter
fere with the going of the craft, but
in any CONFUSION of the elements, it
rs a great handicap, if not positively
dangerous. In the interest of sport it
is to be hoped that the challenger will
meet with no mishap during the
match, but her chances of doing so
are two to one of the Reliance.

Some may call it rank conceit and
others over confidence, but in few
races for the "blue ribbon of the sea"
has the followers of the defender been
quite so Indifferent to the peril of what
others choose to call the peril of the
cup" as at present" says W. S. Quig-
ley in the New York Mail and Elk
press.
Not only does this confidence Undue
those who are in anyway connected
with the Reliance. but it also extends
through the entire fleet of American
racing yachts. 1t is said that the MEM
bers of the crew of the Constitution
are satisfied that on a majority of the
points the Reliance is able to defeat
their craft, and that in turn the Con-
stitution is the peer of the Shamrock III.
1t is natural that some of the experts
should disagree as to the probable out
come of the match which is to begin
outside Sandy Hook, Aug. 20.
Capt Hank Half is on record as
venturing the opinion that the Sham
rock III is a most dangerous boat, and
be would not be surprised if she walked
off with the prize, but the valiant old
skipper, who really ought to know
what he is talking about, has made
similar predictions regarding the other

would be placed in the way
of those who might seek

probability that the New York Yacht

it's custody. because certain Boston
yachtsmeu would rather see the cup

the engine out and will put an electric
motor in its place. The engine space is
just big enough to take it in. Then,
under the body of the machine l will
put 100 of my new storage batteries.
That will be sufficient to drive the ma
chine, which is "a horsepower, dis
lance of ninety miles, and give it a
speed of thirty miles an hour. l may
do better than that but that will sat
isfy me. That is more than can be
done with any other storage batteries,
and that is only the start. The posi-
bilities of my invention promise a great
deal more than that.
THE new batteries will not wear out,
and they can be recharged quickly and
as often as desired. There will be less
liability of getting into trouble than
with any other batteries.
Il do not intend to build any ma
chimes. My object is to develop the

sidered the racing machines, but who
can say what will be the improvement

AS a matter of fact, they are. 1 am
now keeping under observation three
heavy trucks driven by them. There
has been no weakness or other defect
to show that they are not durable and
perfectly satisfactory No other bat
teries in use could run 5000 miles and
still be in good condition. There is a
great deal of criticism knocking the
new invention, but that l have to ex-
pect. l have had it to contend with
every time I announced an invention.
In this case it is a matter of stock-in-
trade with other makers of storage
