Division Affirms Sentence.

Because there is division among
the six associate justices of the SD
preme court of Georgia in the case of
James S. Yates of Decatur county, SEN
fenced to serve a life term in the pen,
following his conviction for murder,
this sentence stands affirmed and no
new trial Will be given him.
Three judges ON a side split the
court. Three hold that the judge in
charging the jury so stated the case as
to mistake the defendants contention
and calculated to lead the jury to be
lieve that the defendant had admitted
that the homicide was an unlawful act.
The law in cases of this kind is to the
effect that the decision of the lower
court must stand affirmed This de-
MES him new trial. and, in conse-
quence, he must serve the balance Of
his days in the pen.

GEORGIA TECH ALSO SUSPENDED.
Football Team Under Similar Charges, as
Those Against State University

Professor Il. T. Holmes, acting for
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association, suspended the Georgia
School of Technology from further foot,
ball playing, as members of the as
sociation at the conclusion of long
conference with President Matheson
and Hon. N. E. Harris, president of
the board of trustees, Monday after
noon in Macon.
z The deliberations were not too tram
quill, as far as President Matheson and
Professor Holmes were concerned, for
the charges preferred against Tech in
volve the college president himself,
Coach Heisman of the football squad
and six players.
Immediately following the suspension
of Tech Professor Holmes called for
meeting of the executive committee OF
the association. The members are: DR..
w. L. Dudley of Vanderbilt, Professor
w. M. Riggs of Clemson and Profess
sor Holmes of Mercer.
No dates was announced, but the
meeting of the committee win be held
before the Thanksgiving games are to
be played, and the Georgia State Uni
versity which was suspended last
week, as we'll as Tech, viii have OPP
portunity to clear up the charges lead
ing to suspension.
Professor Holmse will then have OPP
portunity to lay the responsibility for
whatever action is taken at the feet
of the full committee, instead Of his
own door.
Professor Sanford of Georgia was in
conference with Professor Holmes on
Monday morning, and through him the
complete charges against Tech were
formulated.
He brought afidavits, and, what he
claimed to be absolute proof, Of pro
fessionalism through the retention or
men who were receiving money for
becoming and remaining players at
Tech
The principal charges arise out or
the commission cards said to have
been used for the benefit Of the play
ers.
The charges against Techs players
were made by University of Georgia

On DoIlar.fOr-poI!ar Basis.

In a letter addressed to H. E. Har-
man, president of the Southeastern
Trade Press Association, Chairman Nc
Tendon, speaking for the commission.
declares: 1T was not the purpose of
the order of the commission in ques-
ton, nor has this board authority, to
prohibit newspapers or any other par.
ty from entering into contracts with
railroad companies" This is in regard
to newspaper advertising contracts.
Continuing, he writes The purpose Of
this order is to prevent the issuance
by railroad companies of transportation
except upon strict dollar-for-dollar
basis.
This letter would seem to settle the
question whether a newspaper has
right to exchange advertising for trans
portation, and the commission holds
that this can be done when carried
out on a strict business basis.

taxes against the Western Union Tel
egraph oompanyEn Georgia setting the
main case for hearing on Wednesday,
November q, 1907, at Atlanta.
The complaint alleges, in substance,
that the telegraph company operated
in Georgia under and by virtue of the
pest roads act of congress passed in
1860. and that in accepting the pre-
visions of the federal act the company
became obligated to handle all govern
1nent dispatches by preferred service
and at reduced rates, to be fixed arbi-
trarily by the postmaster general of
thu United States and became bound
to surrender its entire lines, system
and property to the government at any
tim on basis provided by the act.
In return, the bill alleges, the gov
eminent guarantees to the telegraph
company the right to construct, main
tain and operate lines of telegraph in
and through the various states Of the
UPTON, without improper interference.
Further on the bill attacks the consti'

 While Birmingham already has a num- Der of plants of this kind the demand of their product is greater than the sup ply. and the construction of this plant will relieve to great extent the slow ness with which gseat many buildings are put up here on account of having to order from distant points the special stuff used in their construction.

 Thus, from the action of the police court, the best thing speeding antomo- oilers can do is to look up the city limits and then get on the outside. There may then run at the rate of sixty mics an hour, if they choose provided they keep out of other municipalities.
