Judge Hamilton McWhOrter on
"WOman."


Woman" the closing toast of the
evening. was responded to by Hon.
Hamilton McWhorter, in replying to
the toast, Judge McWhorter said that
he must protest to the protestations
of the toast masters, who had referred
to him as the most gallant of Geor-
Eians.
Il am embarrassed because, in the
presence of so distinguished an as
semblage. 1 know that woman is the
most idealized particle of an idealistic
and chivalric race. No tribute to the
beauty and wonder of womanhood has
escaped the chivalry of your essential
ly chivalric race.
Woman is altogether lovely, though
she be of doubtful form and much
changing conditions. Yet she
is altogether lovely. And yet,
among d certain school of pol
iticians, woman's ever changing
conditions have been much criticized.
Yet I think it will be considered that
the Queen OF Sheba was the best of
her race in that she was the last wom-
an who said The half has never been
told.
Then followed a rapid citation Of the
part woman had played in the his
tory of the world since the time that
TROY was sacked for woman's love.
THE farther we rise from barbarism,"
said the speaker, "the nearer we APP
proach to woman. From the uncertain
coil of her hair to the shapely beauty
of her foot. cut short in the high heel
of her French, patterned shoe. she is a
Thing of beauty and a joy forever. ."

PRIEST WON HIS CASE
AGAINST THE BISHOP.

Lincoln, Neb., March 17.-Bishop
Bonacum of the Catholic diocese Of
Lincoln was defeated in the long pend
ing controversy with Father William
Murphy, one of the priests of his do
cese, by an opinion rendered tonight
by the Supreme Court.
The court affirms in every particular
the decision of the District Court Of
Seward county and enjoins the Bishop
from disturbing Father Murphy in the
possession of the church property at
the town of Seward. The court an
nounces in its opinion that its rulings
will be in accord with those of the
ecclesiastical court, when there is no
infraction of the civil law. but that
it is unable to concur in the Bishops
contention that the court of Rome 'las
ruled in his favor and against the
priest. Bishop Bonacums appeal is
dismissed.
Many months ago the Bishop re-
moved the priest as pastor at Seward
and later communicated him, but
Father Murphy, with the aid of the
trustees retained possession of the
church property and continued to hold
services.

TALKED OFF THE UPRISING.
Herr Rebel Said the Traders Were
Responsible for 1t.

Berlin. March 7.-Herr Bebel, the
Socialist leader, speaking in the
Reichstag to-day during the debate on
the supplementary appropriation for
German Southwest Africa, said the
whites seemed to him to be primarily
responsible for the insurrection of the
Hereros. The traders, he asserted,
persuaded the natives to buy on credit
articles which they did not require in
their mode of living, charging 500 per
cent. over their actual value. Thus the
natives were deep in debt and their
burdens increasing year by year.
Dr.. Stuebel, directors of the colonial
Office, said that from the information
so far received, it was impossible to
draw a final conclusion as to the
causes of the uprising. Some colonials
asserted that the natives had been
harshly treated while others claimed
that Col. Leutwein, the governor of
German Southwest Africa, was too
mild in his administration of the at
fairs of the colony

OBITUARY..
H. H. Thomas, Chicago.

Chicago, March 17.-Gen. H. H.
Thomas, who was recently ousted as
federal appraiser at the port of Chi
cago, dropped dead to-day. Heart dis
case is supposed to be the cause.
The removal of Gen. Thomas from
office a few weeks ago was one of the
most picturesque incidents known in
politics here. Seated under the folds
of a United States flag, Gen. Thomas
remained at his desk, refusing to give
way until dispossessed by the actual
arrival of his successor.
The death of Gen. Thomas was as
dramatic as his removal. He had serv-
ed in the Civil War, but had never
made an application for a pension,
while in receipt of other income. To-
day, after Intellectual efforts to secure
other work, he was in lawyers Of
flee preparing a pension application.
II was while thus engaged that Gen.
Thomas fell dead. He was 20 years
old,

Dublin Ga, March 17.--As shown by
the statement of the four state banks

treasurer at the close of business
March and the First National Bank
of Dublin, which was not required to
make a statement at this time, there
was on deposit on that date 1924, S5S-
SO. The loan and discounts of the five
banks on the same date were $554,-

Two of the banks have not been do
ing business a month yet and their
deposits were therefore small. 1t is
probable that no county has five
stronger banks than Laurens county.
