The Preliminary Session.

The preliminary meeting of the BIZ
en1ial convention of Women's Clubs
was held at the M. Z. church Tuesday
evening. 1t was largely attended. Not
only was there an unusual number Of
delegates present, but there were like
wise a large number of visitors in at
tendance.
The council is usually an informal
meeting and 1t was made easier than
ever by the gracious frienjliness OF
the presiding officers.
Mrs. Seerley in her opening talk
urged that the assembly take the mat
ter into its owa hands, and make a
good session by free discussion.
Miss Mary Calkins Chassell, Of lie
Mars, discussed the duties of district
chairman from the standpoint of an
outsider She urged the district chair
man should be fount OF Inspiration
and bureau OF information for her
district. She likewise required that
the chairman SHOULD encourage the
study of music, and develop In i1er
club women a social spirit. and should
inspire them with desire to preserve
local history. In fact. 80 high did she
set the standard for district chairmen
that she made most OF the women fear

CONGRESSMAN LEWIS
GETS HIGH PLACE
Ranking Democratic Mem
Der Banking Committee.

In the drawing of committee plums,
Congressman E. B. Lewis, of the Am
CIRCUS district has been given a
most important position by Speaker
Cannon. Mr.. Lewis has been ap-
pointed to the committee on banking
and currency, and is the ranking De-
mocratic member of the committee
For the present session of Con-
gress this committee will be perhaps
the most important, as it will be
called on to devise relief from money
stringency such as the one just pass
ing. 1t is likely that party lines
will in a measure be obliterated in
the consideration of this most import
ant subject and in this event a good
share of the task of drawing up suit
able bills will fall on the Democratic
side.
The other democratic members OF
the committee are James, of Ken
lucky; Glass, Of Virginia; Mcmillan
of Pennsylvania; Crawford of South
Carolina; Gillespie of Texas, and Pu-
go Of Louisiana. Representative Fow-
Ter, of New Jersey, is the ranking re-
publican member and will be chosen
chairman of the committee.
In referring to the appointment
the Atlanta Constitutions Washing
ton correspondent says:
The work of perfecting the pro-
posed measures and reporting bill
that will meet the needs of the situa-
ton rests with the banking and cur
rency committee, of the house, and
the finance committee of the senate
The Importance of these two commit
tees has been greatly augmented by
existing conditions. For this reason
the appointment of Mr. Lewis is a
signal honor"

CHANGE FOR BETTER is
SAID TO Be SLIGHT
Mr.. LightfOOt is Little
Improved.

A slight motion of the hand, the
only sign of vitality exhibited since
last Saturday, marked the condition
of Mr.. Ben Lightfoot yesterday. He
still lies, in paralyzed condition
from the terrific blows which crush
ed the back of his skull, and since
Saturday has neither opened his
eyes or spoken, or made ary sign be-
yond a slight milton of the hand
yesterday, as stated. His condition
is most precarious, and while it is
still feared that his injuries will
result in death, some shadow of hope
was expressed yesterday. Mr.. Mar
ion Sims, who dealt the blows on
Saturday last, is still in the vicinity
of Leslie, although he has never
been arrested, the officer who first
went for him failing to find him. He
will doubtless give himself up when
wanted.

BUYING FOR CHRISTMAS

Again the glad holiday season APP
proaches, and the great question of
Christmas presents is up to haunt the
waking hours of a large part of the
population
For those who intend buying Christ
mas presents, it is good advice to
buy early. The Americas merchants
have laid in their stock of Christ
mas goods and are ready for the
trade 1t is perfectly evident that
those who come early will get the
selection from the full stock and will
thus have the advantage of later
corners.
The merchants will also be able to
give more time in helping the GUS
toners to decide on the appropriate
thing and will thus in many instances
save the purchaser the trouble of de-
Gliding on an appropriate gift. 1t .is
less than three weeks now until
Christmas and to wait until the last
few days will be a mistake which
will be recognized too late
In selecting presents the tendency
is to have articles which will be of
some real use to the recipient. This
is a most sensible tendency. One
thing to be deplored about the habit
of Christmas giving is the balancing
off of gifts in the matter of values,
and the seeming obligation resting
on each one to give gift for gift.
But gifts with the faint of the
commercial spirit are nothing more
than barter, and defeat the real pur-
pose of the custom.
To those who are going to remem-
Der their relatives and friends this
Christmas, it will be in many ways
advantageous to buy early and thus
approach the glad season in tran
quill state of mind.

ASYLUM is CHOSEN
RATHER THAN PRISON
Effort to Keep Joiner
From Gang.

Preferring the insane asylum to
the county changing, term in Jail
or a fine, whichever in the discretion
of the court may be imposed upon
him, attorneys for L. C. Joiner, con-
victed of forgery, will thus attempt
to save him.
Steps to this end were taken yes
terday by his counsel
Failing to free him upon the forgery
charge, they wish to file special
plea of insanity in his case, to be
passed upon by jury in the court
which tried him.
This is an unusual procedure and
one not made here before in a long
while, if ever at all
When motion to make such special
plea was filed yesterday, Judge Lit
tlejohn announced that he would
either grant or deny such plea to-
day. In the meantime, Joiner is in
jail awaiting the efforts of his law
yers in his behalf.
AS his case now stands, unless the
plea of insanity prevails he will eth
er go to the gang, pay fine, or spend
a term in Jail.

GRIST OF THE COURTS
is SMALL AT BEST
Few Gases Up for Trial
Wednesday.

While four or five cases were dis
posed of on the criminal side of the
superior court yesterday, they were
of no general interest and the pro-
ceedings were dull throughout, as
has been the case generally at this
term.
Walter Reese was convicted for
shooting another negro, but sentence
has not yet been passed upon him.
Jack Swain and 1som Gay, a gay
pair of SWANS, stirred up another
coon at razorfest and proceeded to
put him we'll nigh into shape for the
coroner to sit upon.
Both bucks pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor, though indicted for
assault with intent to murder and
were sentenced to a year each upon
the changing or fine of 500 each'
in addition to the costs.
Several witnesses from Macon and
Atlanta were summoned here in a
burglary case, set for trial yesterday
but deferred as yet,
At the afternoon session the case
of Sam Ware, charged with murder,
was entered upon.
Ware is charged with the killing OF
Jewell Davis, a black gem on the
Cannon plantation, two weeks ago.
The two men, with a woman, were at
the latter's house when Davis had
his head blown off.
The case was still on trial at the
adjournment of court, with a black
cloud of witnesses to testify.
