STRIKING difference between the humor OF American

latter is mellow. The American joke is wrapped up in
smaller parcel while the English humorst takes longer to
tell joke The English humor is kinder in its tone and
point than that of America The American joke is posi-
lively savage.

From Tucson to the Twin Buttes Mine
 i'm Pima County

It is currently reported that Mayor David s. Rose who went out to the Twin Buttes mine this week is contem- plating the building of a railroad from Tucson to this property distance of twenty-eight miles. It has been de- monstrated that ore can be worked at a greater profit when smelter is near some city and on the main line of rail- road. This consideration led the Phelps-Dodge company to remove their smelters from Douglas to Bisbee. Mayor Rose has behind him large Wis consin capital and it is said that he is riady to undertake the building of a railroad and smelter when the Twin Buttes property is lully developed'- Tucson Post.

 and Fills Board Vacancies
 The Imperial Valley Chamber of Commerce Directors met in stated ses- sion Monday evening with nearly a full board ill session answering to the call of President Howe
 In opening the session the president stated that the principal business be- fore the directorate would be the cleo tion of his successor for the unexpired term, his resignation being made neces- sary by his removal from Imperial~ He took occasion to congratulate the board on the showing it had made, referring especially to the total absence of politics in all it's actions and it's consequent ad- herence to the best interests of all the people, and in conclusion he thanked the board as body and as individuals for their support and encouragement, expressing sincere hopes for its contin- ued prosperity.
 On motion the following resolution was ordered to be embodied in the min utes of the board:
 Resolved: that we regret that our presidents departure from the valley causcs him to feel that he must resign, and we tender him hearty vote of thanks for the good work he has done for us, and further tender him our best wishes for his prosperity and success in the future.'
 Director R. D. McPherrin, although personally absent, was placed in nomi- nation for the presidency and was unan- imously elected. Continuing, under special clauses of the constitution and bylaws, two vacancies were declared on the board, due to continued absence and removal, Chas. A. Gardner, T. P. Banta and F. G. Ravens were placed in nomination and duly elected as direct Ors.
 President McPherrin will, at the next meeting, announce the appointments to vacant chairmanships.
 In new business the Chamber will take up at once the matter of uniform sidewalks for the business portion of the town, and will at once open communi- cation with nonresident property own CTS that this matter may be expedited.

The University Law School.

Among the institutions that nave
had a marked influence upon the his
tory Of Georgia is the state law school
established in 1859 on motion of Gov
ernor Herschel V. Johnson.
Over eight hundred lawyers have
received their training here in the
last fifty years. The school has been
the training camp of our eminent jul
rists and the success Of its graduates
is the strongest argument for train
ing of a good law school in preference
to that secured in the lawyers Of
flee.
In the law school the training is sys-
tematic and thorough and the young
student must measure his strength
daily with his fellow students. AS an
eminent writer said:
"The law school leads the student
readily to survey law IS a science
and imbues him with the principles
of ethics as its. true foundation. Dis
putting, reasoning, reading, discours-
ing, became his constant exercise.
Members of the bar of the future, to
succeed, must have a scientific, well
directed and comprehensive training
in law school"
The state law course embraces two
years of text book study, lecture
courses, study of cases, moot courts
and legal exercises. 1t gives the most
thorough preparation offered in the
South Atlantic States in law and al
lied subjects. The students meet in
daily classroom exercises on the Uni
versity campus, and are an integral
part of the student body, subject to
the regulations and enjoying all the
principles of the libraries, dormitories
and lectures. They form associations
with hundreds of young Georgians
and with the great body of alumni,
friendships invaluable to the young
lawyer, whether considered from a
social, business or professional stand
point.
The degree of bachelor of laws of
the University of Georgia is conferred
upon those completing the course.
Some students take the first years
course in a lawyers Office, stand an
examination upon the same on enter
ing the law school and taking the Sec
ond year in. class. This plan reduces
expenses, and combines the office and
class room methods.
The State University law school has
justly won first place for the train
ing of Georgians for the honorable
profession of law and young lawyer
should count it a privilege to enroll
his name among the graduates of this
famous old SCHOOL,. S. STUART.

After one of the most sensational
trials ever held in Columbus, the jury
in the case of J. Perry Greene, charg-
ed with embezzlement, brought in a
verdict of mot guilty" reaching this
verdict after one ballot.
The charge of embezzlement was
brought by President John F. Wealth

ed as bookkeeper during 1903, it being
alleged that he took $1,000 of the
company's money and then made the
books balance by making false en-
tries
The defense was extremely sensa-
tional, Greene charging that President
Weathers, himself, had been system
atically robbing the company, and
that he tried to make scapegoat OF
the bookkeeper. Greene talked to the
iurv an hour and a half, and made
a dramatic assertion of his innocence,
and an equally dramatic accusation OF
