son, the negro charged with killing
Tom Miller, butcher, in the Star
saloon on the levee over two years
ago, has been acquitted of the charge
after two years of Imprisonment in
the county jail, and is a free man.
Watson kept lunch counter at the
Star. and Mill r came in drunk, it
Is alleged, and when refused credit
attempted to shoot Watson. Watson
pulled his pistol and shot Miller,
killing him instantly In the first
trial there was mistrial, the jury
standing six for acquital and six for
hanging. Watson was found guilty
in the second trial but appealed the
case. The supreme coure reversed
the decision, claiming there was not
evidence enough to convict. The
supreme court declared in effect that
Ray Boykin, a sailor, and the chief
witness for the prosecution, perjured
himself, and therefore his evidence
counted for nothing. The case at.
tracted good deal of attention at
the time, and there was bitter feel
ing against Watson.

PEACH CROP TO BE-
HIGH-PRlCED ONE
WILL BE SOLD LARGELY ON
TRACK - PRICES FROM 81 To
S1.25 ALREADY OFFERED AND
DECLINED.

While the peach crop will not be as
large as last year, indications now are
that 1t will be the highest priced in the
history of the industry. There will be
more> peaches bought on the track than
ever before, and at higher prices.
According to growers who have report
ed to the Georgia Fruit exchange, repre-
sentatives of the leading commission
houses of the east and the west are in
the fruit belt soliciting f. o. b. shipments
They are offering prices ranging from 81
to S125 net a crate, and are finding few
acceptances at these figures.
The growers, relying on the new plan
of shipment as adopted by the exchange,
will hold out for $50 a crate, and it is
the general belief that growers who ar-
cept offers at a figure any less thar
this will do so at a loss.
Under the exchanges plan, (. o. b. snip
ments are protected the same as the 9TH
ers from Cutting in the markets. The
commission men, approaching this. are
all the more anxious to buy their fruit
on the track and get the benefit of hish
prices in the markets. 1t is believed that
the growers will recoup themselves for
all their previous losses.
The executive committee of the exchange
will meet here on next Wednesday. AT
that time the organization machinery will
have been completed, and every plan for
the shipping season, which begins about
June l. VIII be perfected. Contracts with
the smaller commission houses will be
ratified, as win also the contracts with
the exchanges agents in the markets and
at the shipping points in the Georgia ter
ritory.
The committeeman will also ratify the
arrangement of schedules with the rail-
roads. Estimates of the seasons yield still
stand at from 5000 to $500 cars, or from
30 to IS per cent of last years crop.

STUDENTS AT LAGRANGE
ENJOY. BIG RECEPTION

LAGRANGE. Ga, May 10.-By far the
most brilliant reception ever given by the
faculty and students of the Southern Fe-
male college was that of Friday night In
fact the event was in the nature of jubi-
lee, with many hundreds of families OF
Lagrange represented, triumphant that
the old college still lives, and that the flu
ture is assured.
The reception was given in honor Of Mr..
VIM. D. Upshaw and his wife, who were
married in Thomasville on Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Upshaw's labors in behalf
of the college have been appreciated, and
in token of the esteem and gratitude the
faculty and students of the college pre-
scented him with a silver loving cup. The
presentation speech was made by Judge
Frank P. Longley. Mr.. Upshaw's speech
of acceptance was outburst of deep
feeling, eloquently expressed. The La
Grange band furnished music at the re-
ception.
Mr.. Upshaw is raising $4,000 toward the
rebuilding of the college. and has the
greater part of this amount already SUBJ

SOLDIER NOT BLAMED
FOR ORIGIN/OF WAR

CHICAGO, May 1O.-Bishop Samuel Fall
lows is not in complete accord with the
sentiments of the recent peace conven-
ton, and upholds the views expressed
by General Grant at the closing ban
quet.
1.-The soldier. as General Fred d. Grant
has stated said Bishop Fallows, docs
not originate war. He may be the most
strenuous advocate of peace. All the
world loves a hero and will continue to
love him.
General disarmament is a duty to be
wished. 1t may be a paradox for the
United States to multiply ships of war
ans coast defenses while its mission is
clearly to bring peace to the world. But
the paradox is no greater than that con-
tanned 1 nthe words OF Christ"

Continued form Page One

senate this afternoon when on the de-
bate on the lead schedule Senator Bur-
kett. of Nebraska, delivered a sharp
lecture to the members of the finance
committee for bringing In a bill about
which they were not adequately inform
ed. He objected to the fact that the
committee held no hearings and set the
evidence before the committee. Senator
Burkett, as other western senators have
done. expressed determination to get at
the bottom of the schedules.
This led to a sharp reply from Senator
AIdrich.
IF the senate stays here until every
member has a chance to satisfy himself
on every schedule of this BILL" he de-
clared. "even with the infallible judgment
of the senator from Nebraska, we will
stay here. not only all summer. but We
will be here ten years.
Committees Hard Work
Senator AIdrich told of the hard work
he committee had put in on the bill.
Il have no doubt we could hav edone
setter" he said, IF we had had the SEN
ltor from Nebraska on the committee. II
vas no doubt a misfortune of the coun-
try that we had not the counsel OF the
senator from Nebraska. The senator
from Nebraska talks about the consum-
er Who are the consumers in the
United States? Is there any class of peo-
ule in the United States except limited
number, who are consumers and VINO

market for their products The increase
II the cost of living is owing almost
holly to the increase in the cost Of ag'
cultural products. These people are not

A further exchange occurred between
the senators and Senator Aldrich main
tianed that the committee was willing to
change any schedule that 1t was shown
deserved to be changed.
Senators today are predicting about
July 1 as the probable date for winding

SWORD OF OSMAN
GIVEN MEHEMEOV '.
BRILLIANT OFFICIAL CEREMONY
CONDUCTED IN TURKISH CAPI-
tai MONDAY MORNING IN SA-
CRED MOSQUE.

CONSTANTINOPLE,M May 10-The cere-
mony of girding the sword OF Osman upon
Mehemmed ", the new sultan of Turkey,
in succession to Abdul Hamid, occurred
today in the Mosque Ayoub, the only
sacred edifce in Constantinople which
Christians are no wallowed to enter.
The function was carried out according
to the pre-arranged program, and at its
conclusion his majesty started to drive
through STEAMBOAT at the head of an i'm
posing procession.
This ceremony corresponds to that of
coronation in the European countries. 1t
lasted only a few minutes and the an
cient rite of the spiritual power consign-
ing the temporal power to the sultan was
witnessed by no foreign eyes.
Kissed Robe of Prophet
The sultan proceeded in a launch from
the Dolma Bagtsche palace to the mosque
which stands at the waters edge, where
the rite awpserformed. Then, attended
by the grand vizier, the Sheik-U l-Islam,
the members OF the cabinet, the chiefs of
| the army, the two higher grades Of ule-
mas and many other officials, he drove to
the Top Kapou palace, about six miles
distant, to kiss the robes fthe prophet.
At the Ayoub Mosque, Mehemmed v.
drew the scimitar of his ancestor, Osman
l., the founder of the tOtoman empire,
from its sheath and. standing in the
square in front of the group of buildings
called the sublime porte, he raised the
weapon nhigh, and by this immortal
act took the oath of the Turkish empire.
The action of the sultan was followed
by an outburst of shouting from the peo-
pie massed beyond the lines of the sur
rounding troops. together with a fanfare
of trumpets and rattle of musketry as
| the soldiers fired a salute; but above all
| this noise arose the sharp and clear
voices of schoolboys chanting "Midhat
Pashas Hymn of Liberty"
Stood Up in Carriage
The scene was the strange mixture
| OF historical eastern observance and
modern western civilization. Mehmed
V, the first sultan in four centuries who
has had blue eyes and fair hair, was
| dressed in a western uniform of olive
green khaki Within sight Of the square
were the Byzantine walls surrounding
the city and the Genoese tower of St.
Sophia. two striking suggestions Of
nfteenth history.
In further contrast was the fact that
| his majesty. chosen by the constitution
| a-ists TO rule the empire, stood upright
! in an open carriage. fresh from the most
! fashionable manufacturer of Paris and
raised on high with a dignified gesture
| the ancient sword worn by thirty-four
of his ancestors and carried by twenty
e<sft Of his forebears since the con-
quest Of Constantinople. 1t was re-
marked also that Mehmed V was the
first-oeardless ruler of his line; he wore
only a pointed mustache.

COST TO RAISE BOY
FIGURED BY PASTOR

CHICAGO, May 10.-Rev. D. D. Vaughn,
who has been delivering a series OF talks
on THE Ideal Family" believes an item
lied account for the cost OF rearing a
boy should be preserved and presented
to him. He said: e~ & Is
Parents should let boy know that
1t has cost a great deal of money to rear
him. 1t is estimated that child costs
its parents from 5000 to 5000. When a
boy reaches the age of q years, his faith
er should present him with a bill for the
amount he cost him to raise. Whether the
boy ever pays the bill or not makes no
difference. He is taught a lesson that he
probably will never forget"
The minister also said it was not a
good idea for parents to open their chill
dren's mail.
