Hardware company last Saturday nigns
Pool was arrested last night and Rob
erts was locked UP this morning, after
a big portion of the stolen goods had

the recovery Of the stolen goods is that
Mrs. Ed Roberts, mother of the pris-
oners found suit case filled with the
stolen articles under some stairs. She
broke completely down when she handed
the suit caNe to the officers. She is an
estimable woman and the blow IS a
severe one.

ter how she reached her death. If she
cid not kill herself il was because she

she aimed TO suicide. she was crazy and
irresponsible for her actions. Sane peo-
pie do not commit self-murdeT. They are
on when they set about killing them

They can go a long way round to DO
strange things, when a near cut would
seem to be the thing to do. 1t strikes me
as far-fetched industry to arrest that

into court to charge her with murder,
and the victim, her own crazy child
Crazy people are oftentimes astonishing
with craft and cunning. 1 don't believe
her aunts killed her either.

QUIET At CAPITOL
MEANS XMAS NEAR
StatehouSe Officers Scatter
ing Over Georgia to Homes
for Holidays

There's the atmosphere of Christmas
near approach around the silent still cor
ridors of the capitol that are wont each
summer to ring and reverberate so lus-
tily with the eloquence of Georgia's leg
islators
There are evidences OF a holiday sea-
sou beyond the walls that is calling the
statehouse orficers forth to revelries at
home and that is leaving the capitol dead
as a doornail till they all get back TO
work and begin grinding out some more
news.
Tom G. Hudson, the commissioner of
agriculture. has gone home to Americus
for the holidays. Capt. J. 4. Johnson,
head of the bureau of fertilizers, and 7.
]. johnson. of the same bureau, are MAX
ing arrangements to leave for Lee coun-
" on Wednesday TO spend Christmas
there.
Capt. r. f. Wright, assistant commits
sioner of agriculture, will stick by the
office for a day or so longer. probably
going up TO Elberton for Christmas. The
rest of the department is making its ar
rangements for passing holiday season.
The state chemists department has clos
ed. and the chemist and his six assistants
are scattering on the four winds of the
earth.
So 1t is with all the rest Of the capitol
The courts, the secretary of state, the
prison department, the railroad commits
sion, the treasury the comptroller's de-
partment, the school department, the ex-
ecutive offices, the militia offices-all are
caught by the Christmas expectancy and
all are losing day by day the members
of their personnel. A few of the offices
will stay open all through the season
with one or another member of the staff
on duty. But all of them will stay clos
ed next Saturday. for that will be Christ
mas day

kirke Whites Great Poem

Half a century ago 1 heard a magniti-
cent sermon from Rev. L. J. Davies, one
OF the finest preachers known in Geor-
eia. then or now. The sermon was on
Gods omnipotence. and he quoted with
great effect the following majestic poem
OF Kirke White:
1.-The Lord Our God is clothed with might
The winds obey his will
He speaks and in the heavenly height
The rolling sun stands still.
'sRebel. We waves, And DER the land
With threatening aspect roar
The Lord uplifts His awful hand
And chains you TO the shore.
Howl winds Of night, your force COM
bine. .tr
without his high behest.
Ye shall not in the mountain pine
Disturb sparrow's nest
Ills voice sublime, is heard afar
In distant peals IL dies;
He yolxes the whirlwind to His car,
And sweeps the bowling skies.
eye nations bend. In reverence bend
Ye monarchs wait His nod
And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate our Cod
7 committed II to memory. and never
witness a thunderstorm that do not re-
call the words Of Kirke White.
never see a little birds nest in an
exposed place threatened by the winds
OF night that I do not remember 1.-The
sparrow in the mountain pine"
This is poetry that will live while the
ages last.

VINO Wants the Coin?

Mr.. John X. kinimer, at Lear, Ga, mas q
copper coin, one cent, minted in 1881. He
says it is almost as large as half-dollar.
He says many kind words OF The Jour
nal and OF my Country Home Column
and has been a reader for a number OF
years.
I we'll recolIect those large copper cent
pieces. They would have made three OF
four Of our present penny coins.
WHO CAN GIVE THE NAME?
A correspondent at Pineville. n. c., was
at the battle of Fredericksburg, Va, on
December Is. 1863. and desires TO know
the name of a young man who was a
courier OF Gen. T. r. R. Cobb (who was
killed that day.. because he writes he
was a brave boy. and was shot through
both his thighs.
This correspondent was one Of the Cor
federate soldiers who carried the wound
ed boy to the field hosital, but has for
gotten his name. He says he was a
brave young soldier. and he hopes some
old Georgian who might recall it, will
send the name to me for that purpose,
so that he may see IL.
He and his comrades picked up the
desperately wounded young courier while
the battle was on, and conveyed him TO
the field hospital las before noted.
