Hamilton Guilty.

Guilty as charged, was the YER
dict of the Hamilton jury, Monday
night. about $50 o'clock. after over
five hours delibcration. 1t is mat
ter Of congratulation that in this in
stance, at least, our court has not
missed fire through the combined
force of maudlin sympathy of so
ciety friends and all the skill and
ingenuity of two of the leading lnem-
bers of the bar to bring to bear all
the technicalities of criminal iuris-
prudence to clear him of the many
crimes of peculation with which he
has been charged.
Five ballots were taken. The first
stood eleven for conviction and one
for acquittal, and the last was, of
course, unanimous. Hamilton is al
legged to have appropriated between
$4,000 and 100000 of State funds
upon his affinity" Hazel Moore,
and his hayward conduct had led to
an estrangement between himself and
his wife and family. Other charges
remain to be tried, among which
are forgery and obtaining money
under false pretenses.
The penalty for the charge of en-
bezzlement, under which he was con-
victed, is Imprisonment of from one
to ten years in the State Penitentiary
at hard labor. A motion for q new
trial followed is the logical sequence
mapped out by the lawyers for the
defense-RObinsOn and Vance, which,
being denied, an appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court, which will
probably not be acted upon for sew
eral months, and in the meantime.
the prosecution is DESTROYS of trying
one of the remaining cases, in the
Superior Court, at the February
term.
Hamilton, when asked if he had
anything to say, following the ver-
dict, muttered, There are several
days to come" doubtless impressed
by the sympathy manifested by his
impreSsionable friends (the kind who
have sent flowers to 4 murderer S
GELD that he is Il much-abuSed man.
1t is leniency for such criminals as
he. who caused President Taft to de
clare that our criminal Jurisprudence
is mockery on Justice.

High Price of Meats.

Secretary Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
has been engaged in strenuous en-
deavor to arrive at a cause for the
high price which meats have OBJ
tanned in order to apply some remedy
for the suffering in some parts of the
country for this prime necessity of
life. The Secretary has secured re-
ports from fifty places. throughout
the United States, and finds that on
an average, the difference between
the retail price of meat charged con-
sumers and the wholesale price paid
by the retailers averages 81 per cent.
In five cities it is only 20 per cent. or
under; in ten cities between 81 and
80 per cent. in twelve between Al
and 80 per cent.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that this is gross profit and out of it
the retailer must charge up against
his business, before there is any
profit, fixed charges, include rent,
interest on money invested in equip
ment. outlay for heat and light, and
ice to maintain his refrigerator, loss
by waste, for there must be some
waste when perishable products are
handled, wages for help in the shop
as well as costs of delivery at Gus
toners houses. Then there must be
figured in a fair return for the deal
ers time and risk in the business, in
GLIDING losses from customers who
do not pay. and all those items and
other incidentalS must be deducted
from the gross profits to determine
the net profit, which sometimes re-
suits in well-defned minus guam
tity. 1t is quite safe to assume,
therefore, that the retailers are not
to blame for the general and rapid
augmentation of prices of all kinds of
meat.
! And the discoveries made by Sec
rotary Wilson show that a single
Chicago packing house realized this
year. on a capital of $40, 1000, 600 a net
profit of 81 .l27 1926, representing an
annual dividend of about 35 per cent,
and indicates that there is big
money" in the meat business-al
least for the packers.
Our local markets have very sci
dom been affected by any reduction
of prices below figures that might af-
ford fair profit, and consumers
have claimed at times that the rates
were considerably higher than those
exacted in Portland and at some
other cities that afforded condition.
for estimating true values, but tn,
prospect now is that our people viii
/ hereafter have to pay material in
crease upon the rates that have pre-
vailed, 4 Tacoma firm having invad
ed the trade here with u proposition
to buy all the markets or make tn,
figures controlling the trade, botl
buying and selling. The result al
ready announced is that a genera
advance has been made. which vii
be established as the permanent rul
ing rate for all shops soon as tn,
agreement is completed.

 There are but three names being mentioned to any extent in and around Birmingham in connection with the gubernatorial position and these are H. s. D. Mallory. of Selma: Judge s. D. weakiey.-of Birmingham. and Dr. R. M. Cunningham, of Ensley. The former Is said to be a full-fedged can~ didate already, in fact his friends are working hard for him. The other two men might be termed tentative candi- dates. Both have been asked as to their candidacy and their reply has been. Tt is too early to make any am nouncement"
 It is practically accepted, though, that both Judge weakley and Dr. Cum nfngham will be in the race. It is not improbable that Judge weakiey will be the choice of the Conner fac- ton in the State political makeup H s. D. Mallory and Dr. Cunningham nave great following among the oth- CT element and upon their formal an- nouncements will find strong phalanx of friends ready to work for them. Other names have been hearI from in birmingham in connection with the gubernatorial canvass, but the three above given appear to have the inside track on the gossip that is going the round.

 He was on his way from Grady to Lapine when the harness broke on one of the horses. causing the team to run away.

 or THE oPP0RTUNTTIEs.
At the Mems Service. Uaa~~ ,.. piecs of the Y. M. Q. ne Makes an Appeal for
 EnIinfmrnS

pr. W. H. Smith. of Richmond Va secretary of the foreign missIon hoar5 of the Southern Baptist Conyention made strong appeal to the men to enlist in the service of Jesus Christ and enroll themselves under His ban for the good of others and the saIyss tion of the world. in his address yes- terday afternoon. sat the Gospel meet ing or the Y. M. c. A., at inc f,r. pheum Theatre. VI.
 The subject of his address was .aThe Awakening of the Laymen'' and he fie- ciared that the arousing of ,men for a christian life and the uprising of men m religious work was one of the mos. most 5ncouraging features of modern lire. He attributed this awakening to several movements. first, the Y. M C A. has been an important factor in enlisting and holding men in d relie- ious life: second. the Student volun- teer Movement has accomplished great results in this direction as has ike wise the Laymen's Missionary Move. ment, which Is the outcome of what was known as the hay stack prayer meetings held in New England over 100 years ago.
 Continuing the speaker showed how the pastor used to have to do every thing in church. but now the young men were taking hold and not only taking hold but investing their mon. ey. Great sums had been donated or invested by business men in this move- ment. to evangelize the world and the Layman's Missionary Movement had sent many men to foreign fields to in- vestigate and work. There is not more splendid object. declared the speaker, in which a man can invest his money than in this movement. Men like to do something great and this idea of doing some thing great, in this religious uprising, appeals to men.
 Concluding Dr. Smith appealed to men to take a mans share and do A mans part in this great movement as much for the coming of the Kingdom, means So much for the betterment of this country, so much for the happi- ness of the home. so much not only for man himself but for the whole world for this task of Christian life and work in the supreme task of evangelizing the world.

Louis Mann appears here in the title role of "The Man Who Stood Stiil.' 1t will mark his first visit to this city since he acted here in his famous creation of Hans Nix, the in- spector in the original production of The Telephone Girl" which was. all things considered the greatest musi- cal comedy success in the annals of our stage. Since that time. he has been busy making both laughter and theatrical history-mainly in New York. but also elsewhere, with an ex- cursion to London that was so success full and artistically happy that the British press called him '"The Ameri- can Coquelin," after that great French player whose death was recently an- nounced.
 sMr. Mann is said to have the great est role of his brilliant career in that of old John Krauss in "The Man Who Stood Still" It Is that of a kindly, lovable old fellow of Swiss birth who refuses to see the necessity for all the hustle and hustle and rush and hurry that make up life and business in the United States. He is just what the ti- tie describes--the man who stands still.
