Court Echoes.

There have been a large number
of surprises handed out.
His Honor even "sets down" on
those wonderfully smart gentlemen,
the lawyers.
"Now is the season of our discon-
tent made glorious summer by this''
noble Judge.
The appeal to Judge Cochran OF
that Scooba "Wife and Mother is
being answered.
The case against Louisa Ware
(co1ored), accused Of arson, was put
off until next Court.
Judge Cochran has intimated that
petticoats put no change on things
in the eyes ofthe law.
Scooba and it's environs furnished
about dozen subjects for indict-
ment on the charge of running a
"blind tiger"
A gentleman who returned from
DeKalb last Friday night, says he
never did see SO many people afraid
of one man; in fact, he hasn't got
ten over his quake yet.
Quite a number Of the gentlemen
who have been furnishing "wet
goods'' to thirsty8souls, without the
authority vested by a license, have
pleaded guilty and will be sentenced
tomorrow.
The case against Irwin Henderson,
indicted for the shooting of Thomas
M. Tam, was called last Friday and
today set for the trial. Aspecial
venire Of fifty iurymen was ordered
and was drawn Monday.
1t is said thatyour character must
be vouched for in black and white,
attested by D.. d. Morrison's official
seal as Notary Public, to enable you
to purchase a drink of ''blind tiger
whiskey in the environs of Scooba
this week.

DR.. Theodore Herzl, who had barely
reached middle age, A, has been vari
at once charmed by the rich radiance
of his personality and inspired by the
intensity of his belief in self He was
an dealist to his finger tips, and yet
he succeeded in convincing thousands
OF his co-religionists that his dreams
were practical and in existing the
sympathy and cooperation of the most
exalted personages in the world.
TO Herzl the prophecy of Isaiah was
no mere poetic wall to be read over by
a rabbi or intoned by cantor at the
week end: And he shall set up an en-
the outcasts of Israel, and gather to-
sether the dispersed Of Judah from the
four corners of the earth"
This text was the impetus of his life
work. In it he saw the hope of Israel
and before he was 80 years old he had
begun an agitation that within a COM
paratively short time had attracted the
attention of the civilized world. and
which finally eliminated in the Zionist
congress, which was really a conven-
ton to devise ways and means OF car
Iyng out the dreams" of the brilliant
Hungarian Jew who had forced a
hearing.
Through DR.. Herzrs efforts the Jew
ism Colonial Trust, the most remark
able financial movement the world has
ever witnessed, raised $250,000 to fur
Their his plans. He believed that his
people were essential to the world and
he said: Our common history has
suffered a long break, and only in our
own time has an understanding and a
union between the separated sections
of our people become possible
For many years prior to his death
Dr. HerZl had lived in Vienna. but he
was a native of Budapest.
Associated with DR.. Herzl was DR.
