INFAMOUS PUNISHMENT
INFLICTED ON DAVIS
Said Judge Emory Speer in Reply
to Attorney WimberIy.

~ Attorney "
1.-THE very idea of chains is abhor-
rent, and to place men in chains has
always been regarded as infamous pun
ishment.
"They are many people in the South
who can never forget that Jefferson
Davis was placed in irons.
when he was simply imprisoned it
was all right, but when he was put
in chains the punishment became in
famous"
The above language was used yes
terday by Judge Emory Speer in re-
plying to the contention of Hon. Min
ter Wimbly, city attorney of Macon,
that it was not infamous punishment
to put man in chains. Mr.. Wimbly
had claimed that the changing was
no worse than prison, where the bars,
instead Of chains, deprived man of his
liberty.
The statement of the court is further
interesting, as showing the light in
which he probably regards the conten-
tion of Messrs. Alexander and Charles
Alderman, that changing sentence is
infamous.

Concert for Lenten Offering.

The musicale for the Easter offering
to st. Paul's Lutheran Church, which
was given by the classes of Miss
Thompson and Miss Teasdale at the
studio last night, proved a delightful
affair. The programme was that
printed in the Morning News yester-
day, in which but one change was
made, caused by the absence of Miss
Addie May Gibson, who was to have
played a piano solo. One of the hits
of the evening was the recitation of
little Miss Wood, who was forced to
give an encore.

BIG SUBSCRIPTION
FOR NEW HOTEL.

Seems Assured Now.

Apartment Hotel ON Bull street
Seems Assured Now.
Maj. j. Ferris Cam and Mr.. T. M.
cunningham, Jr., began again yes
terday their efforts to secure the capt.
tai necessary to build the proposed
apartment hotel at Bull and Macon
streets.
The original plans contemplated a
structure that would cover the entire
block bounded by Bull, Drayton, Ma
con and Charlton streets, but these
have been modified. and it is now
planned to erect a structure that will
take in but half of the block, with a
view of building on the remainder of
the property later.
The new plans mean that the total
cost of the lot, building and the fur
nishings will be in the neighborhood
of $175,000. One-half of this amount
will be in bonds and the other half in
stock. The gentlemen interested in
the hotel are meeting with much sue
cess. One man alone subscribed $1,000
yesterday.

MAKING MATCHES.
Hand Labor and Slow Methods When
the Industry Was New.

The first really efficient lucifer match
must be put to the credit of Mr.. John
Walker of Stock ton -on-Tees, who In
the year 1927 placed them on the mar
ket under the name of "Congreyes," in
compliment to Sir William Congreve,
the inventor of the war rocket. These
matches were sold for shilling a box,
which contained, besides a few dozen
of the matches, little piece of folded
sandpaper, through which each splint
Of wood had to be drawn before it
could be made to infame. An original
tin box, stamped with the royal arms
and bearing the word "Congreve," is
preserved as a curiosity in one of the
London museums.
AS in the case Of all other industries,
this one was initiated by hand labor
alone. The splints of wood We're no
doubt originally dipped in the igniting
composition one by one, but subse-
quently they were tied up in bundles
and dipped en- bloc, the workman Civ
ing each bundle twist with his hands
so that the end of each Splint would
be free to move to a certain extent
and absorb little more of the COM
pound than it would If kept quite still.
The next advance was to fix the splints
in a frame so that each was separated
from it's neighbor, and this frame, con-
tanning about 1900 matches, would be
brought down on a marble slab upon
which the composition was spread.
The tipped matches, still in their
frame, would then be dried in air for
a few hours and afterward placed in
heated chamber to complete their
desiccation. Manual labor is now al
most wholly dispensed with in the
manufacture of matches. The employ
ment Of yellow phosphorus for the
charging of matches made the indus
try a very unhealthy one, and the
workpeople, if not in the best of
health, ran the risk Of contracting a
terrible disease known as necrosis Of
the jawbone, the vulgar name for
which was "phossy jaw" With i'm
provements in manufacture this evil
has now been eliminated.-Cha

Dark Gowns In Favor.

AS is always the case when light
colors have been fashionable for some
time, there is a revolution in favor
of dark ones, so this year there will
be many dark costumes worn. But
there are some charming browns and
green's and puppies, and one shade of
red in the American Beauty rose color,
and all of these are thought very
smart.
The black cloth or black velvet cos
tune, however, or the very dark
brown, will be the most popular of
any, and the same ccloring is carried
out in the afternoon and evening
wraps. But in these days so many
gowns are requisite, and also so many
wraps, that it would seem possible to
the woman of wealth to have all the
different colors in winter outfit

A hot iron removes putty from
glass without any injury to the win
dow frame.
In starching doilies with fringed
edges 1t is well to dip the fringe or
lace into salt water before starching.
In buying canned vegetables or
fruits a considerable saving may be
effected by purchasing by the dozen
cans.
1t is generally thought that little
starch in pillow slips and handker-
chiefs keeps them clean longer than if
not starched.
White velvet, or broadcloth, can be
cleaned by rubbing with flour or corn
meal, brushing it off and renewing it
as often as needed to remove the
dirt.
When making boiled starch add to
it small quantity of gum arabic (pre-
viously dissolved and salt. Clothes
starched with this will not stick to
the iron.
Tincture of iodine is valuable for
sterilizing water; four drops in a
carafe of water is sufficient to render
the liquid fit for drinking purposes
within half an hour.
