RUMOR DENIED.
Bakers Say There Will Be No Break in
Price of Bread.

A rumor that the price of bread would
drop back to ) cents loaf this morning
was found to be incorrect. Six cents is still
the price of the article sold by the large
bakeries of the city, and there is no sign
of break in the price
Many grocers, however declare that GUS
tom is falling off. One said the sales this
morning in his store were "frghtlully
low" Some few grocers, on the other
hand, report that there has been a slight
picking up in sales since the middle of last
week. The condition seems to depend
largely on the location of the stores, those
in the weather. sections of the city finding
their customers returning to the large
bakers bread despite the higher price, and
those in the less prosperous sections noting
a steady decrease In the number of pur-
chaSerS.
The bakeries themselves say their sales
are increasing right along and are fast re-
turning to the normal condition A repre-
sentative OF the Havenner Baking Com
pany told Star reporter this morning That
after baking as much bread as it expected
to sell Saturday, allowing for the falling
or, the company was forced to go out and
buy from others in order to meet the de-
mand.
When asked as to the rumor Of a return

Corpys and Havenner establishments de-
clared that there was absolutely nothing

McCUE MURDER TRIAL
DEFENDANT'sI OLDEST SON RE-
CALLED TO THE STAND TODAY.
Letter Of Latter to an Aunt Aroused
Much 1nterestswhen Admit
ted by Court.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October 81
When the trial Of Former Mayor McCue
was resumed in corporation court today
MiIHe" McCue, the oldest son of the &C
cused, was recalled to the stand. When the
commonwealth produced a letter which the
son had written to Mrs. Griggs, an aunt
living in Athens, Ga, the defence objected
to its admission, the commonwealth con-
tending that it admissible as showing
the influence surrounding the boy and for
the effect II would have on his previous tes-
ti.nonv.
The court admitted the letter for the pur-
pose of discredting the witness, but not as
evidence against the accused. In it he told
how he missed his mother. Here l am
among all my fathers people and they Won
der why l TOOK such d step in this case,
he wrote, but l going to do what is
Ilght in Gods care in spite of any human
being living" He also stated that he
couldn't sleep, that he never was in a worse
case and that ae now had only one thing
to 1--we for-his little sister,
The deepest interest was aroused when
the letter was offered and all eyes were di-
rncted toward the Witness who was asked
if lie had written it.. He admitted that he
iad.
Replying to counsel for the defense he de-
clared that Ernest Crawford spoke of the
use of money ii speaking to the detective
OF a servant.
Nobody Passed Out Of House.
The commonwealth although having an
Iounced Saturday that it had rested intro
GuceG further testimony today. Witnesses
testified that they saw signs of any one
having passed out of the house by the
Torch, roof Gown the trees against the
porches. Prof Mallett of the University of
Virginia said the blood on the base ball bat
was not that of chicken, but that the size
of the corpuscles came within the range of
human blood. George Thomas, a negro
working about the city hall. testified to
meeting CT the accused with his wife last
May. which he said not as pleasant as
he thought it ought to have been.
The introduction of the letter came I'M
expectedly in view of the commonwealth
having rested Saturday. The defense re-
called Ernest Crawford, who denied with
emphasis that he had stated on one occa-
sion in the presence Of S. G. Waller and
Miss Moore that he had said that his sister
and M. McCue had been married about
fifteen years and that their honeymoon was
not yet ever.
This was done to lay the foundation for
the testimony of the defendants first wit
ness.
The defense offered as it's first witness S.
G. Waller who attended the university with
MIR Crawford and who testified that Mr..
Crawford did make u statement similar to
that in his pres e1ce.

SPECIAL TAX ON MALT LIQUOR.

AS a result of the recent de-
cisiOn Of the supreme court in
the case of the state against
John B. Daniel, ct al, relative 10
the lax On malt liquors, Tax Col
lector Stewart has announced
determination of collecting a tax
Of $500 per annumn from all deal
ers in malt extracts, whether
druggist or soda fountains. It
IS said that much of the liquid is
sold by the Atlanta soda founts,
and the supreme court has decid-
ed that it is a liquor. Ar. Stew
art also wishes to notify all drug
glsts that they will be called up-
on to pay the special $500 tax in
the event they use any alcoholic
or malt liquors in any prescrip-
tons they may be called upon to
fill. The decision of the SUI
preme court fully covers this
point, and affects all of the state.
Under the special tax act, Tax
Collector Stewart notified several
druggists in Atlanta that they
would have to pay the the spe-
cial tax of 5000 for the privilege
of selling malt extract. The
druggists did not agree with the
tax collector, and the matter
was taken into the superior
court, where Judge Lumkin sus-
tanned the ruling of Mr.. Stew
art. The druggists, appealed
the case to the supreme
court, and last week the decision
of the lower court was affirmed.
IL. l.. Culberson, attorney repre-
scented the state, he having been
engaged by Attorney General
Hart.
The decision of the supre me
court is an important one, and
much money will be realized by
the state from Fulton county
alone.

ONE RESULT OF INCIVILlTY.

William Travers Jerome,
district attorney of New York
City, in speaking of the necessity
of public men exercising courtesy
to anybody and everybody, told
the following story
want to say, in the first
place, that what l am about to re-
late is not told in order to empha-
size the need of po1iteness on the
grounds of mere policy only, but
rather to show that an ungentle-
manly action is pretty sure to
act as boomerang. Some years
ago, reporter called on a man
OF wealth and prominence, whom
| will call Wr. Blank, in order to
interview him in regard to the
latter's alleged political ambi-
tons. He was shown into his
library.
Wel1?' said the great man.
The reporter presented his
card and explained his errand.
MIR. Blank glanced at the paste
board, deliberately tore it in two,
and threw it into the wastebasket.
Nothing to say he grow1ed,
and that was all that the visitor
could get from him.
so the reporter departed with
a flush on his cheek and a burn
ing desire in his heart to thrash
the discourteous Mr.. Blank.
Several years passed, and Mr..
Blank was Il candidate for a high
municipal Office. Meanwhile,
the reporter had been made
political editor of a journal whose
views were opposite to those of
Mr.. Blank, and found him suave
and silky. The editor did not
forget the torn card. The Incl
dent ranked within him.
so it came about that he made
such a tremendous fight against
Mr.. Blanks election that, mainly
through his efforts, he suffered
an overwhelming defeat.
IA single act of unnecessary
rudeness cost him position and
power. "-Success

ORIGINAL CRAFTSMANSHIP.
From the valdosta Times.

|
made OF Congressman Griggs'
attitude toward the new Federal
district at Valdosta in our last
issue and undertakes a defense.
HE TINES suggested that
Congressman Griggs should do
something original. The Herald
argues that Albany has as much
right to Federal court as Val
dosta has; that Congressman
Gr1ggs has as much right to in
troduce bill to give her one as
Congressman Brant1ey has to
give one to Va1dosta. It also
says that there is an understand
ing between Congressman
Griggs and Congressman Brant-
ley by which each is to help the
other in affairs of this sort. It
also says something about
clrcultous routes to Va1dosta,"
and remarks that the bill for a
public building for Va1dosta has
been passed.
Ii we are correctly infomed,
the Griggs bill takes Berrien,
Colquitt, Themes, Decatur and
Brooks counties out of the new
district and places them in the
Albany district. Either one of
these counties is nearer to Val
dosta than it is to Albany, and
more ealsly reached by rail. So
Congressman Griggs has not
consulted the convenience of
the people" of these counties in
putting them in the proposed
new district. We gladly concede
that Congressman Griggs have a
right to offer any kind of bill
that he may want to offer in con-
gress, and Albany can try to
secure anything she wants.
HE TIMES never questioned
these facts at all. What it
suggested was that the Con
gresham should think up some
original way" to help his con-
st1tuents, and now that the
Herald has taken UP the cudgel,
we make the same suggestion to
it.
Congressman Brantley made
brave light for a division of the
original district and won it, in
spite OF the fact that Congress-
man Grlggs was plotting a clan
destlne movement to defeat the
measure in the hope that another
city of his district (not Albany)
might secure it later on. We
thought, then, that it was small
business and nothing has happen
ed since then to change this
opinion. The two congressman
reached an understanding such
as the Herald indicates but that
understanding never contemplate
ed the emasculation of the new
Federal district before a single
session of court was held within
its bounds.
There is plenty of work for
congressman to do for their
constituents if they have the
acumen to see it and the energy
to take it up. A child can do the
l-Want-it-too" act, but it takes
menand cities Of unusual spright-
illness to press forward, originat-
ing schemes and inaugurating
measures for their own promo
ton and the promotion of the
sections about them,
The Times would like to see
Albany secure a public building,
though we can see absolutely no
excuse for another division of the
present Federal district.

The Independent understands
that the members Of the MinOt

plating selling a couple thousand
more shares Of stock in the COM
pany, and will make an effort to
get some of the farmers interest
ed in it. One of the members re-
marked to US, that he was will
ing to sell his share, not because
he thought it would notpay him,
but because he was willing to
give the farmers a show and get
them interested in the creamery.
With the extra money secured
by selling more shares, routes
could be established, and other
business carried on. There is
talk OF reducing the shares to
fifty dollars each. This is merely
talk, and may not be done at all.

for a big business for the cream
