CHARGED WITH MAKING
FAKE CERTIFICATE

The case of the state against ]. j.
Weaver, w. o. Bowden, T. w. Ezzard,
and c. E. Davis, who are charged with
forging clearing house certificates which
we're circulated in Columbus during the
panic, will probably be taken up be-
fore Judge Roam and a jury in the supe-
rior court, criminal branch, on Thurs
day.
Counsel on both sides will meet We'd
nesday afternoon for a conference and
the case will then be definitely set.
Weaver and Bowden are of Atlanta;
Ezzard lives near Buckhead, in the north
ern part of the county and Davis is a
Rome lawyer. They will be defended
by Attorney Tom Miller, of Columbus,
and Attorneys F. A. Quillian and John
w. Moore, of Atlanta. Luther z. Rosser,
of Rosser & Brandon, have been employed
by the Columbus clearing house to assist
Solicitor Hill in the prosecution.
The state alleges that the men forged
some $1,000 worth of certificates and that
they circulated them through negroes
sentences in the changing. These ne
groes will appear here as witnesses for
the state.
1t is charged that the men made the
certificates here, using type and print
ing press. The case will be hotly con-
tested on both sides. That against Weav-
er will probably be the first to be called.
who have confessed and are now serving
adjourned until 1870 p. m.

MORE PLEDGES MADE
TO FRUIT EXCHANGE

President H. C. Bagley, of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange. is in Oglethorpe We'd
nesday, where he is meeting the peach
growers with the idea of interesting them
in the exchange, and securing additional
shipment and stock pledges.
Mr.. Bagley spent Tuesday in Macon
comforting with growers, and on Thurs
day he will be in Fort Valley, where
he will meet the growers of one Of the
largest shipping points in the state.
The exchange intends to pledge prac-
ticaIly every shipment in the state. and
having already pledged over 20 per cent
it is believed will have no trouble with
the balance.
Manager Fleming has returned from
Chattanooga, Dayton and Cincinnati,
where he met growers who have or
chards in Georgia.
Mr.. Fleming had fine success, and sue
ceeded in pledging 100 cars additional to
the exchange.
r. B. Small, a Macon trustee OF the
exchange, was here early in the week
He says that fully 20 per cent OF the
growers IN his section belong to the ex-
change, and that growers generally are
enthusiastic over the outlook.

IAURENT BETRAYED
MY ONLY DAUGHTER"

COLUMBUS, Miss, Jan. 20-"I killed
Laurent because he betrayed my only
daughter" declared Charles Smith, the
rich Lowndes county planter, in a state
ment last night of his reasons for kill
ing Eugene A. Laurent, representative OF
Simmons Hardware company, last Friday
afternoon at Artesia-
Several of Mr.. Smiths friends held
meeting last night at the offices Of Hon.
lack P. Landrum and Mr.. Smith for
the first time, since the killing, made
known his reasons for the act.
The second chapter was added Tuesday
afternoon, when Sheriff Prowell, armed
with an affidavit signed by j. s. Lau-
rent, brother of the dead man, who ar
rived in Columbus just exactly an hour
before the affidavit which charges Mr..
Smith with murder was signed, arrest
ed Mr.. Smith and carried him to the
courthouse.
Justice Mitchell released Mr.. Smith up
on a $500 bail, for his appearance be-
fore the Lowndes county grand jury next
Monday morning.
Charles R. Smith, the defendant. is one
of the richest men in Lowndes county.
His country home, three miles from Ar
tesla, is nothing less than a palace. He
is known in Columbus as a high-minded
citizen, and his business sagacity Is OF
the keenest order. He is a widower with
one daughter, the one to whom all eyes
are turned in this tragedy, Miss Estelle
Smith.

WILLETT NOW SAYS
HE WIS MADE A GOAT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Representa-
tive William willett, of New York, who
was muzzled by the house for his criti-
cism of President Roosevelt thinks that
he is the goat" to use expressive
vernacular phrase
He claims that he was urged to make
the attack upon the president by the
Democrats, who gave him feeble sup
port and further, that Republican MEM
bers to whom he submitted his speech
prior to its delivery, assured him that
he was on the right line.
Fine, fine" said the Republicans to
whom Willett exhibited the speech. 1T
is just what the president needs. Give
1t to him."
But when Willett tried to deliver the
goods the Republicans rose up as one
man and applied the gag to him.
II have never had row with the pres
ident and am not particularly sore with
him" said Willett, but the Democrats
urged me to make the speech and the
Republicans winked an approval"
Willett prepared his speech with ex-
ceeding care and it was a strong effort
but his work appears to have been spent
in vain, for it is to be expunged from
the record.

NO ANTI-JAPANESE LAWS,
SAYS GOVERNOR GILLETT

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 20.-Follow-
ing the protest Of President Roosevelt.
Governor Gillett has issued a statement
there will be no legislation against the
Japanese at this session of the legisla-
ture. The governor authorized the fol-
lowing:
After comforting with the leading
members of both branches of the legisla-
ture tonight. 1 am convinced that no
legislation directed against the Japanese
will be enacted. 1 am satifed that the
people of California and particularly the
members OF our legislature appreciate
the efforts being made by the federal
government and the representatives OF
Japan to stop immigration to this country
OF Japanese laborers, skilled and UNI
skilled.
There can be no doubt that the Jap
anese government is acting absolutely in
good faith in its endeavor to prevent its
people emigrating to our country, and in
my judgment II would be a serious mis-
take while they are so doing to enact any
laws directed against the Japanese.
This question is one in which the fed
eral government is particularly interested
and its wishes should be carefully con-
sidered and will be. am sure, by the
people OF this state"

saying that he hoped they would all
spend a happy Christmas
When the opening day Of school arriv-
ed and Professor Hawkins did not appear

appeal 70 the newspapers 20 help them
find the missing teacher. when the news
came from Columbia that he had been
found dead IN his room at a hotel in
that city, with bullet wound In his tenn
