NEW INKSTANDS.
One With an Eight Day Watch Set In the
Cnder Side Of the Cover.

Something new in inkstands Is one hav-
ing q watch set in the under side OF the
cover. When the inkstand is closed there
IL no sign of the watch; 1t is then just an
inkstand, pure and simple; but when the
cover Is lifted and thrown back on Its hinges
there appears the watch, always before the
writer's eye.
This timekeeping inkstand is designed
more especially for the use Of business men,
to be placed on an Office desk; but it can,
of course, be used as well on the home
writing table 1t would not look inappro-
pirate anywhere. for it is a thing of beauty
as well as utility.
It is made Of cut glass, with case Of silver.
The watch set In the under side OF the cover
is q stemwinder that runs eight days-in
reality q tiny eight day clock, SO that its
owner doesn't have to bother about winding
It too often.
Inkstands OF this sort ore made in vari.
ous sizes and some Of them are mounted
on simple but handsome morocco leather

rack. These inkstands can scarcely be con-

TREE PLANTING,
Information for Those Who Want
to Beautify Premises.

A good tree we'll planted will usually
grow whether the work is done in the
fall or spring. In the fall the soil is
usually in the best condition, and the
tree has time to get accustomed to its
new position, the winter rains settling
the soil among the roots so that it is
ready to start into growth at the first
appearance of spring. Fall planting
differs from spring planting in two re.
spects. In the first place, there is no
need of the bucketful of water put in
on the roots, which is of so much value
in spring planting; and second is rails.

JUDGE ROBERTS MEETS M
THE SHERIFF'S DEFIANCE
Orders Telfar County Sheriff to Arrest Sheriff Higgs Of
Montgomery and Release Cornell If 1t Takes Every
Blacksmith and Hammer in County to Open Jail

cept any bond at all, and put Cornell
in Jail. Upon being appealed to Judge
Roberts approved this bond and order
ed Sheriff Higgs to Immediately turn
Connell out of jail upon this bond.
1t is represented to the court that
Sheriff Higgs replied to this order
that he would not release Cornell
and that he would kill Cornell if nee
essary before he should allow him to
leave the Jail.
1t is understood that some personal
feeling between Higgs and Cornell,
in which woman is concerned, is at
the bottom of the matter.
The message of Judge Roberts to
Sheriff DOwdy is as follows:
"It becomes necessary to serve writ
of habeas corpus upon the sheriff of
Montgomery county. also a contempt
proceeding, as we'll as to seize the body
of one VIM. S. Cornell, and this being
proceeding against the sheriff, the
papers have to be served by the cor
oner of Montgomery county, or some
sheriff of said state of Georgia other
than the county of Montgomery. The
case is one of emergency and we need
an officer of decision and purpose
one who will carry out the mandate Of
the law, and as such l have referred
counsel to you. Mr.. VIM. B. Kent will
give you the papers and you will have
to go to Montgomery county to exc

you to seize the body of Cornell with

Sheriff Ben E. Hlggs of Montgomery
county, who, it will be remembered,
created a sensation in the state two
years ago by defying the order OF Gov.
Gambler and refusing to recognize the
governors pardon and keeping a pris-
oner in the changing after the gov
ernor had pardoned him, has again set
his defiance against the staGe authori-
ties, and refuses to release VIM. S.
Council, white prisoner from Mont
gomery Jail after being positively or
dered to do so by Judge D. Nj. Roberts,
who recently presided over the SUI
perior court of Terrell county.
w. B. Kent, an attorney of Mt Yer
non, came to Hawkinsyill this morn
ing where Judge Roberts is holding
court and presented the facts of this
remarkable case to him.
The judge Immediately issued writ
of habeas corpus, and also a contempt
proceeding, precept against the de-
flying sheriff.
The order directed to the coroner
and deputy sheriffs of Montgomery
county and to the sheriffs generally OF
the state, directs them to seize with
any degree of force and aid necessary,
the body of Sheriff Higgs, and if they
are unable to procure the keys of the
Jail, to forcibly open the doors of the
jail and release said VIM. 5. Cornell.
While the order is directed general
ly to the sheriffs of the state, it will be
placed in the hands of Sheriff Dowdy
of Telfair county for service, and the
Judge has written to him directory
letter suggesting bow he shall proceed.
In it the Judge tells him to bring
Sheriff Higgs before him and to re-
lease the defendant Connell at all haz-
zards, even if it becomes necessary to
call on the governor tor troops and to
summon the aid of every blacksmith
in the county.
Connell was arrested on the mis-
demeanor charge OF cheating and
swindling. The sheriff assessed bond
of $1,000. Connell promptly rendered
q bond in this sum with man worth
800, 600 as a security. Sheriff Riggs

months, she capped the climax
Wednesday by forcing an entrance to

ment opposite Ponce De Leon Hotel,
and before she was stopped by the
police, succeeded in wrecking the
place.
Mrs Herman has for some time been
acting in a manner that amazed her
friends, who include the most promi-

mad infatuaGion for we'll known d.

which she figured prominently, were
the talk of the town.
A week ago she was adjudged insane
by commission of lunacy, but not
withstanding this she was allowed to
be at liberty. Today she appeared
down town, declaring that she was
hunting the proprietor OF the Villa Zo>
rayda, with the intention of shooting
him. He was advised of her intentions
and discreetly kept out of the way,
She went to the Villa, and, being 1.-the
and active, succeeded in scaling the
walls to the second story, where she
entered through the "Maiden's
Prayer" window of the Moorish Pal
ace, where was the paraphernalia for
wooing the tickle goddess.
Then the destruction began. RemoY-
ing her hat and rolling up her sleeves,
she seized roulette wheel and dumped
it out at the window, where it fell, a
wreck, on the pavement below, A
poker layout followed, and then from
three to four bushels of chips came
down like hail on the sidewalk.
Other tables were overturned, and al

speak of mutiny on the part OF state
troops seems absurd, but if United

drawn and body of state troops sent

they would be likely to suffer moral
punishment through the stigma of dis

the hands of their neighbors, compar-
