HEAVY FINE ON WOMAN.
Eighty Days in Prison Cell on Bread
and Water.


One of the heaviest fines ever
known in Valdosta was placed on a
woman in the police court Lilly
Johnson was fined $175 and costs
or Lightweight days on bread and
water in prison cell.
Il believe I'll take the bread and
water, if your honor pleases," she
said to the court when the sentence
was announced. The woman was &C
cused of being drunk and disorderly
on the streets Sunday. She secured
hack, dismissed the driver and
took possession of the reins, drove
into another vehicle and then pro-
ceeded to curse out the driver of
the other vehicle. She fought Pc
liceman Hill and was hard to man
age in every way.

hours at Norfolk, Va, and Mcintyre
made the most of his opportunities
nv going ashore and working off a
worthless check on an unsuspecting
Norfolk banker When the ship
reached New York the Virginia bank
or had discovered the fraud and Off
GERS were in waiting, Mcintyre be-
| ing placed under arrest. The Mex
lean consul also had secured a war
rant and inaugurated extradition
proceedings, but Mcintyre was SO
versatile in his knowledge of the
tricks of the law that he defeated the
efforts to cause his extradition. The
Virginia officers were more success
full and the prisoner was taken to
Norfolk, tried and sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary.
Wanted in Half Dozen States.
But another Nemesis was still on
McIntyre's trial During his trav-
els in the United States Mcintyre
had induced a lawyer in Chadron,
Neb.. to indorse one of his worthless
checks. The check was for $500,
and the Chadron man, Captain A.
c. Fisher, was forced to make it
good. The news of McIntyre's con-
viction spread to Chadron and in
(spired in Fisher the spirit of re-
Ivenge. Mcintyre was released from
the Virginia prison last March, and
when the iron doors swung back an
officer was in waiting with warrant
from Nebraska calling for his arrest.
Mcintyre again resisted eXtraditlon,
but to no purpose, and he was taken
to Chadron and placed on trial. The
convict lawyer made a further show
of resistance, but when Informed
that officers were there from half
dozen other states he weakened,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
three years in the Nebraska peniten-
tiary. Once within prison wall he
to the supreme court, filing his suit
and delving through law books for
arguments and authorities to back
his contention.
AS proof of his resourcefulness in
the law a novel point has been raised
by the convict in his cause, and one
never before presented for the con-
sideration of the Nebraska courts.
1t is that the warrant of eXtradition
issued in Virginia was minus the
great seal, it is worthless and his
extradition therefore illegal. If
beaten in the Nebraska courts Nc
Intyre asserts that he will carry his
case to the supreme court of the
United States. There is no known
decision involving the point he has
raised.

ASKED MRS. CHAPLIN TO LEAVE
CAROLINIANS TIRED OF RICH
NORTHERN WOMAN.
She Urged Communication of the Sem
tence of a Negro Who Was
Hanged for Outraging Her.

The people of Aiken, S. c., have
asked Mrs. E. S. Chaplin, thenorthern
woman who was outraged by the ne
gro Knight who was hanged there
last Friday, to leave the community,
and she has done so. Mrs. Chaplin
signed the petition to Governor Hey
ward asking Communication of
Knights sentence, and on that ac-
count the feeling towards her was
such that conservative Aiken men
thought it we'll for her not to re-
main in the community.
Mrs. Chaplin had employed Knight
for several years and gave him a
room in her house She frequently
spoke of him as a perfect gentle
man. Returning late one night, she
got up and opened the door for him
and prepared him supper, when he
criminally assaulted her. He was ar
rested in Georgia and tried and SEN
fenced to death, but after all Mrs.
Chaplin pleaded for his life at the
last moment.
The Aiken people regarded her as
an advocate fsocial equality, and
had warned her against trusting
Knight too far. Believing her pres
ence in the community dangerous
they, on Monday, requested her to
leave, and she has quietly done so.

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Curei
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have SChnappS
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs tobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, fimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are

/ CONVICT'S NOVEL PLEA
WILL ARGUE HIS OWN CASE BE-
FORE THE SUPREME COURT,
The Remarkable Career of a once
Eminent Texas Lawyer ana
Successful Politician.

Successful IOIlIICldH'
Legal retribution has dealt with
few careers more remarkable than
that of Philip Mcintyre, convict in
the Nebraska penitentiary, who VIII
soon add one more notable event 10
his lifes history by appearing before
the supreme court of Nebraska TO
Mead his own case at the bar on
his application to be set free. Inc
snectacle of a convict presenting his
own case is unparalleled IN the
criminal jurisprudence of the state
hut it is no more unusual or unique
than many other events in his his
tory.
But Mcintyre will suffer no en-
barrassment, nor will he be inspired
by a spirit of bravado, when he faces
the august court. Although a con-
Wet and wearing stripes as a forger,
which was his crime, he is skilled
LAWYER, a man of education and pol
fsh. and because of his intellectual
attachments the court cannot but
hear him through and give due con-
sideration to his presentation. War
den Beemer, of the state prison, has
offered to secure associate counsel,
but Mcintyre has spurned the sug-
gestion and will have no aid.
The prisoner, who is noted the
country over as a smooth forger and
daring confidence man, is a native
of Texas. While still in his teens he
volunteered in the Confederate ar
my, serving three years and earning
the commentator of his officers for
gallantry in battle. After the war
he entered college and was trained
for the law, locating in Ell Paso. His
rise in his profession was strikingly
successful, resulting in his election
to the prosecuting attorneyship OF
the western Texas district. Cursed
with a hot temper, he quarreled with
a rival attorney, and in a pistol duel
shot and killed his adversary He
pleaded selfdefense and was ac-
Quilted, but the stigma of the crime
would not down, and he became a So
cial outcast, Stunned by his former
friends. The drink habit finally ac-
complished his complete downfall.
Government Interpreter.
Quitting Texas seven years ago he
roved through the west and took
boat for the Philippines, where he
entered the service of the govern
ment as a Spanish interpreter This
existence lacked excitement, and af-
ter year he left Manila and came
back to the states to enter upon
career as a forger and con man,
which has made him notorious in at
least a dozen states. Dozens of de-
tectives have bounded his trail, but
it was not until two years ago that
he was run to earth.
Three years ago the chase became
too hot and he transferred the scene
of his operations to old Mexico
where he travelled about, passing
spurious checks and living a life OF
ease. The Central American repUb-
lies were next in his itinerary, but
the Mexican authorities located the
direction of his flight, and just as
the Honduras police were ready to
nab him Mcintyre boarded & coast
vessel stealthily and escaped to the
north. The ship was headed for Ea-
vana, where Mcintyre planned to
reap another harvest, but the vessel
encounted a yellow fever quarantine
and finally headed for New York.
A stop was made for a couple OF

Endicott was duffer There was nc
shadow of doubt about that. He could
neither swim nor sail a boat; he played
golf in a manner that set his caddy
offering suggestions; his dancing was
cross between a prim walk and an
awkward skip; he sat on a horse with
as much grace as he would have strad
died an elephant. Moreover, his lack
of conversational powers had given
him a reputation for taciturnity that
was far from flattering
"Why on earth Mrs. Saunders should
ask him down for the month I can't
see," one Of the young women confided
to bronzed young fellow as they sat

Postage stamp Gum.

When you lick a postage stamp you
need not fear that the gum is some
thing unclean. Postal gum Is the best
quality on the face Of the earth. 1t Is
derived from dextrin, product secur-
ed In the process of making starch from
potatoes, corn and the cassava root
The starch from these vegetables is
treated by roasting at a temperature
Of about 80 degrees at the first stage,
causing 1t to turn into dextrin. Fur
Their changes make postal gum, and If
the changes were carried to the limit
the result would be grape sugar or glu-
cose. The best postal gum is that which
contains the least unconverted starch
and little glucose. When the material
for making gum reaches the bureau of
engraving and printing it looks much
like -four except in color. 1t comes In
sacks of 200 pounds each, and every
consignment from the contractors Is
