w. s. Cabe has a dwelling which
was in the spark area, and after he
had helped toget hose at the handle
works, ran to his place to defend it.
He had just got a ladder in position
and two pals of water ready when a
big flake of burning wood came sail
ing along and landed half way up
the roof of his house. He assembled
the ladder and wasted the two pals
of water trying to dash it up over
the caves as the ladder was not long
enough. In desperation he seized a
bucket of milk and with dippel
managed to qucnch the blaze that
was starting on the roof. 1t is sug
gested that he wheel his cow up to
the building next time and squirl
the milk up to the blaze, but we hope
that it won't happen again.

silly Extravaganza

Dear Afrs. FELTON,: 1 have thought OF
writing 10 you many times TO tell you how
much I appreciate your sensible letters.
Your thoughts are deep and are expressed
in such a small space. You hit the key
note when you said that nine-tenths of
the domestic trouble and misery OF this
nation was caused by the silly women. II
Mrs. B. gets a ready-made suit. Mrs. A.
wants one. too. II she can't get IL. she is
SO miserable and disconnected that she
makes the whole family unhappy. I have
lived in the country and town. too. and
the country Is getting as bad along on
this line as the town II is contagious.
II spreads like wild fire from one home TO
another. Why, I have known women to
stay away from church because her little
totts did not have a new spring hat.

idea IN their young minds that they are
carried TO church for the display they
make. do hope and pray that this false
pride win be done away with. II II goes
on and on our country will go into bank
ruptcy. and we we will no longer have a
free country. God in his infinite wisdom

pleasure. He says be temperate in all

Brother of Dead Protests Pardon

The grim presence OF the dead mans
brother resolute and determined to block
every attempt made for a pardon of the
brothers slayer, now serving life SEN
tence in the Georgia penitentiary, shad-
owed the footsteps of some thirty citi-
zens of Gainesville and Hall county, Wed
nesday morning. as the delegation waited
for a recess of the prison commission
from the farm land hearing to give them
opportunity to present their plea for
clemency on behalf of the condemned
man.
No formal application for pardon, II
was stated, has been filed with the prls-
on board. The Gainesville delegation had
come to the capitol to present their pc
tition verbally and in person. At their
head were H. II. Dean and +. M Jonn-
son. lawyers, of Gainesville, acting as
their attorneys.
The case in question is regarded as one
of the most unfortunate in the history OF
Hall county. 1t is that of Fred Hawkins,
a well known and widely liked young
man of Hall, who some three years ago
killed Henry eagle, an equally popular
citizen of that county. Hawkins was
sentenced to life imprisonment, ana mas
served about two years of his sentence.
C. d. Cagel, brother of the deceased
man. was the one who had followed the
delegation from Gainesville to the capltoi,
with the openly declared purpose OF
checkmating each move they made. MI
CageI was represented by c. K. tauik-
ner, attorney.

was being operated near Dawson, and an
officer was instructed to investigate. A
man who lived on a winding road out
from the town was suspected, and early

her baby In her arms. One Of the men
went in pursuit.
The woman, though encountered by the
baby, ran lightly and swiftly, and not on
ly kept ahead of the officer but increased
her lead. She ran toward stretch Of
woods, entered it. and continued her
fight down a narrow path. The officer
could catch occasional glimpses of her
dress, but he was slowly falling behind.
Suddenly the woman disappeared com
pletely The officer painted up to where
the dismantIed still with mans felt hat

JUDGE r.. Il. DORSEY
BREATHES HIS LAST

Iudge Rufus T. Dorsey, one of the
most highly esteemed and capable MEM
bers of the Georgia bar, died at 20 min
utes after midnight Tuesday, at MS
home in Atlanta, III Capitol avenue
Though Judge Dorsey had been In III
health for several months past and had
suffered a gradual decline through an
organic affection OF the heart, his death
came suddenly. 1t had become the cur
rent impression that though Judge Dor
sey's condition was far from satisfac-
tory to his friends and his family IL
was not necessarily serious. There1ore'
the unheralded news Of his death, nash-
ed 10 all parts OF the city and state
Wednesday morning, comes as heaNy
shock.
At the time Judge Dorsey died. and Tor
several years before his death, ne was
senior member of the widely known nrIn
OF Dorsey, Brewster. Howell & Heyman'
Judge Dorsey was 81 years OF age at the
time of his death. He was born IN ray
etteviIIe. Ga. in 1s4s, of a distinguished
line OF ancestry. There he had his early
schooling. and there he took up the prac
tice Of law. Fayette county chose tho
young attorney to represent its interest In
the state legislature. There he served ms
people so we'll that they elevated him.
when his term expired, to a seat in the
senate In both positions he served with
high honor. 1t was during this period that
he took unto himself the wife who now
survives him. who has been his lifelong
helpmate and companion. The love that
cemented their lives together has always
been one Of the greatest beauties of their
home.
Coming to Atlanta, determined to win
success. Judge Dorsey found many dis
couragements besetting him at first. But
he stuck. and won. Recognition crowned
his ability, and finally he sat upon the
bench of the city court in Atlanta. In
that court he presided during two terms.
Resuming active practice, he threfg his
entire energy into the criminal branch
Of his profession, and yearly he gained
wider and wider reputation as lawyer
of splendid power. Then he entered civil
practice, and devoting all his splendid
ability to that branch. too, he attained
the success that has mellowed into fame
and viii live long after him.
Judge Dorsey was also we'll known in
the city's civic affairs He had served his
ward both as councilman and alderman.
But he declined to run for congress from
this district, though his friends pressed:
him and assured him that a political
future was at his hand He preferred to
stay at home and work.
In his own family he is survived by
his widow and six children. In addition
to them, his immediate family consists of
three sisters and a brother.
Judge Dorsey bore arms under the Con-
federate flag during the last few days of
the war, when he was a mere STRIPPING Of
a youth; but he had modestly never claim
ed service with the Lost Cause.

Given Is Years on Assault Charge

AUGUSTA, Ca, Feb. 3.-Robert Minor
was found guilty in the superior court,
of criminal assault. The jury was out
only fifteen minutes returning the verdict
and asked the mercy of the court. Judge
Hammond sentenced him to fifteen years
in the penitentiary. An appeal for new
trial has been made. 1t is thought posi-
BILE that a new trial will be granted as
the case was tried under peculiar circum-
stances.
There were Y men in the original panel
and out of these only IL could serve. In
order to save time, the attorney for the
defense asked that the case be tried by
these eleven men, and his motion was
granted.
Minor was charged with criminally as
saulting a girl of ten years old.

RUNAWAY MULE FALLS
IN WELL 60 FEET DEEP

ANDERSONVILLE. Ga. Feb. A
mule team belonging to Mr.. William F.
Easterlin, while at work on Mr.. Easter
Inns plantation near Andersonville, last
night, ran away while attached. with an
other mule, to a wagon. Soon after start
ing the team ran into and knocked over
a well curb, and one OF the mules tried
to jump over the well, but the harness
gave way and the mule fell to the bot
tom, about 60 feet.
Thomas Porter, a negro, was lowered
with block and tackle for the purpose of
arranging a rope about the mule, so that
he could be hauled out. The mule was
nearly dead, but had sufficient life left
to bite the negro severely, but not dan
gerously. The mule was hauled out, but
was dead when he reached the top.
Mr.. Easterlin recently paid 1915 for the
mule. which was probably the finest one
in the neighborhood.

Is Devereaux To Be ReappOintedg

Charleston is discussing the question of
the retaining of Crum for another term
as collector of the port, Savannah. it is
feared, will soon be discussing the ques-
ton of her Deveaux This "culled gem
men" is to be appointed or his successor
named before a great while. 1t is be-
lieved that President Roosevelt Will let
him remain without being reappointed for
four years, and will permit President
aft to name his successor. This is by
no means certain. however. and if the
presidents should send his name now for
reappointment it would cause big SEN
sation and be a surprise to the people
here.
1t is conceded that If President Taft
gets the naming of the Savannah col
lector of the port, he will name Mr. w.
r. Leaken a we'll known attorney. This
appointment would be very satisfactory
to Savannah.
