VETERANS FAVOR
MEMORIAL PLAN
Idea of Erecting Atlanta Home for
Confederate Widows Will Like
ly Be Endorsed at State Meeting
of the u. G. v.

The proposition that the Georgia
Woman's Memorial Association or Con-
federate Veterans and Sons OF Neter-
ans erect as a tribute to the women or
the Confederacy home for Needy
widows OF worthy comrades. TO be To-
Gated IN Atlanta, will be the most i'm
portant subject OF discussion at the
annual meeting OF Georgia Division
United Confederate Veterans, which
viii take place at Athens, during the
latter part OF September.
IL is probable that the matter will
be finally settled there.
In view OF the fact that wealthy At
lanta veterans have promised 10 donate
q splendid site for the home, and that
one OF them has promised, under proper
circumstances. a donation OF Sl00'oO0'
and considering the additional fact
that not only are Atlanta veterans prac-
tlcaIIy unanimous in favor OF the
profect. but many OF the most inriuen-
tiaI members OF the L. g V. through
out the entire state are also pleased
With the idea, il seems likely that the
o,vtsfon. at its Athens convention, Will
endorse the plan.
Col. Henry u. Capers, secretary OF
the memorial association, is also re-
ceivtng letters from prominent men
throughout all Georgia lndorsing the

RESULT Of SUICIDE
OR OF WILD BULLET
Naval Board of Inquiry Which
Probed Tragic Death of Ma
rine Corps officer Rem
ders Verdict.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-"Lieutenant
Sutton is directly and solely responsible
for his own death, which was self-inflict-
ed, either Intentionally or in an effort
to shoot one Of the persons restraining
him, and his death was not caused by
any other injury whatever"
This Is the verdict of the naval court
of inquiry which, for some weeks has had
under investigation, the cause of the
death at Annapolis Naval academy in oc-
tober, 1907, of Second Lieut.. James
N. Sutton, Of the U. S. NJ. c., which YER
dict has been approved by the judge. ad-
vocate general of the army. and by Beck
man winthrop, assistant and acting sec
rotary OF the navy.
UTLEY is SCORED.
The court also finds:
That Lieutenant Utley failed in his duty
senior officer present, under article 266,
United States navy regulations, 1903, in
permitting Lieutenant Sutton to run away
and harm himself, instead of calling on
those present for assistance and prevent
ing Sutton's arming himself by force if
necessary and turning him over to the Of
ficer of the day.
That Lieutenant Bevan, officer of the
guard, failed in his duty as OFFICER or the
guard in not disarming Lieutenant Sutton
by force, while in front of his (Sutton's)
tent.
That Lieutenant willing the officer Of
the day, failed in his DUTY as officer of
the day, in not Immediately assisting by
force in helping to disarm Lieutenant SUIT
ton when he arrived on the scene before
the fatal shot was fired.
That the charges of willful murder and
conspiracy to conceal it, made by the
complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieu
tenant Sutton, are purely imaginary and
unsupported by even a shadow Of evil
dence, truth or reason.
The court recommends, however, that
in view of youth and decided inexperience
of Lieutenants Utley, Willing and Bevan.
at the time, and of the altogether unusual
conditions of excitement, threats and dan
ger during the aforementioned fray that
no further proceeding be taken.
The court also decided that no possible
charge of .criminallty lies against any of
the participants in the fray except Lieut.
enant Sutton himself and that Lieutenant
Sutton is directly and wholly responsible
for his own death which was self-inflicted
either Intentionally or in any effort to
shoot one of the persons restraining him,
and that his death was not caused by any
other injury whatever.

while there are wide variations in the

BLACKS NOT EMPLOYED
AS ENUMERAT0RS

MACON, Ca, Aug. 19.-When the cen
sus is taken in the Sixth district next
spring no negroes will be employed IA
enumerators either in the cities of the
district, or in the country portions of the
Sixth. This news was received last night
with great joy by many persons who at
first thought that some negroes might
be employed to secure the names. Census
Supervisor Charles Alderman has not
made a statement to the effect that no
negroes would be used. but persons who
are close to him know what his position
will be.
1t will take about los enumerators to
attend to the work in the Sixth dis
trict as the population is now over 200, OO0
and the district is made up of ten coun-
ties covering a large portion of central
Georgia.

lead every farmer, who can do so, to
study this question more closely than
ever before.
To aid in such study we copy from
a Canadian bulletin the illustrations
and explanation which follows:
Roughly speaking, ten pounds of ice
are equal in cooling power to 100
pounds of cold water. Thus 100 pounds
of water containing ten pounds of ice
will do as much cooling as 200 pounds
of the same water. Or, in other
words, the use Of ice in the water sur
rounding the milk may do away With
the necessity for changing it. The
same advantage applies in the case of
using a special milk cooler The ice
can be placed in the receptacle which
contains the supply of water for the
cooler.
But the most important advantage
in the use of ice arises from the fact
that by its use the temperature of the
milk can be reduced to, and main
tanned at, lower point than is posi-
BILE with the use of water alone; and
a low temperature is absolutely nee
essary for preserving milk for lengthy
periods. The temperature should be
reduced to so degrees and maintained
at that temperature when milk is to
be kept from Saturday night or Sun
Gay morning till the following Monday
morning.
To utilize the ice for household pur-
poses IN connection with an arrange
ment of this kind, it would be neces-
