IDENTIFICATION 0F
SMITHS POSSIBLE
PROSSER GETS AROUND PROB.
LEM THAT WORRIED POSTMAS-
TER. - COMMITTEE SELECTS
FIRST NAMES ACCORDING TO
VOCATION.

1t so happens that once in a while
there are more than one person in a
community named Smith, SAYS the
Yakima Republic. Prosser got it's
apportionment of descendants of the
great explorer whom Pocohontas
saved from the broad-axe of her ia
Their 1t is possible Pocohontas had
an eye to the future when she threw
herself upon the breast of the bound
captain and pleaded for Powhattan
to spare the tomahawk in order that
his lineal descendants of centuries to
come might cluster around Prosser
and the Yakima valley to flourish
with the wheat field and bright red
apple.
Middle at POstOffice.
Nearly every community has it's
quota of Johns, James, Jacobs, Jo-
sephs and all sorts of "J's", and it
is not infrequent that these prefxes
appear before the name of Smith. In
this respect Prosser also drew it's
share. There were all kinds of
Smiths whose initial was a." The
mail was mixed and the postmaster
was muddled. There was but one
solution-the postmaster would have
to open each letter addressed to
Smith and read it to determine who
was getting news or money from
home, or some arrangement would
have to be made for better Identified
ton.
Question is Town Talk.
The question became a momentous
one and was town talk. Talented
minds tackled the problem. They dis
approved of all the Smith letters be-
ing read in public so that no mistake
would be made in the delivery-they
sometimes received letters themselves
of more or less private nature. To
pass the letters out Unfortunately
was a menace to the peace of the
community. At what time might
some J. Smith, who had a wife and
affectionate family, carry home
letter addressed to another J. Smith
by a sweetheart back in Illinois? The
only solution was to get a name for
each that would identify him in the
dark.
Committee Solves Problem.
The village cut-up, the best dry
goods box whittier, and the man who
is a walking encyclopedia, were ap-
pointed a committee of three to select
suitable first names for the Smiths
worst affected, and report to the COM
munity in general. The commit
made the attack from a scientific
point by adopting logical names that
would identify each with respective
vocation There was Minister Smith,
lumberman Smith, Smith who was
building an irrigation dam and seve-
raj others The first three were Off
cially named, but the committee has
not yet reported on the remained.
Minister Smith was designated God
Almighty" Smith, lumberman Smith
as "Knot-Hole'' Smith, and engineer
Smith as DAM Smith
AS soon as the committee returns
from a much needed vacation it will
probably be prepared to finish up the
list.

MUsT SUPPORT CHILD.

MUST SUPPORI OHlLD.
WHETHER HUSBAND WAS DIVORCED
FROM HIS WIFE OR NOT.
A very interesting decision was
handed down last week in the State
Supreme Court, a decision which
establishes a precedent on a point
of law which the court has never
before been called on to determine.
This was in the matter OF the
APPEAL taken in the case of the
State vs. Walter j. Seghers, ON
appeal from the Juvenile Court.
The judgment given by Judge
Provosty in the Supreme Court,
which is self-explanatory, sustulns
Judge Wilson in his finding. The
latter found Seghers guilty of fail
ing to support and provide for his
minor child. When the case was
tried before the Juvenile Court,
the defendant, through his attor-
ney, Mr.. Charbonnet, denied Ie-
sponsibility for the maintenance
of his child by reason OF the fact
that his wife had obtained d.
vorce from him, aud as she did
not at the time apply for support
of their child, she forfeited her
right to apply for support of hei
child in any other court. The de-
fense contended that in order Il
proceed against him for nOn-sup.
port of the child, such action must
be taken before the court which
the wife selected as her forum
Judge Provosty held that the cast
falls within the juisdictiOn of The
Juvenile Court.
A pretty point in Judge Provos
tvs decision is that the contention
of the defendant that the divorces
and assignment of custody of thu
child to his wife liberated hin
from his obligation 10 support 1t
untenable, and that the obligation
on that part of the parent to sup
port the child does not arise from
the marriage, but from tho fact o
paternity.

{" do 1T NOW"

You will notice Oh the desks of
several successful business men,
and others who have all inclina-
ton to be successful, the above
words, "Do it now," and most of
them are endeavoring to live up
to the motto. 1t is al excellent
suggestion to one who is in the
habit of always putting off until
tomorrow.
"Manaua" is the Spanish word
for tomorrow, and the Spaniard's
ambition, manner of conducting
business, and the general appear
ance of the country. especially in
Mexico, all indicate very strongly
that "Manana" is lived up to most
thoroughly.
To the terse little sentence, "Do
it now." might be added another
phrase which, from it's various ap-
plications, has become more or less
slang, but it is business just the
same and applies to many en-
ployss, aud that is, Get Busy!" "
There should be time for every
thing, work, play, study, rest, what
ever it may be. Get at it at once
and finish it thoroughly; then to
the next thing, without wasting
time between. Make q program
every night for the following day
aud live up to it as completely as
possible. 1t will astonish you to
sse the vast amount of work that
can be accomplished. Remember
the old song of "The Water MILL

the water that has passed" Th.

leaders of the Cincinnati branch of
the Italian Black Hand society, We're
brought before the United States
commissioner today for hearing.
The prisoners seem to have many
friends among the Sicilians here and
their two attorneys demanded an inn
mediate hearing. Commissioner Ad-
ler refused. The attorneys threatened
to seek habeas corpus writs, but fin
ally agreed to postpone the hearing.
Evidence in the hands of govern

meeting regularly in room in the
downtown business section. A few
weeks ago the Ohio Black Hand held
a meeting here and deposed an old
boss" The Cincinnati Black Hand

The robbers walked into the bank
as openly as ii they were expecting
to transact business. AS the cashier
turned from his window to answer the
question of one of the gang, the others
covered him with their revolvers. Just
as the men left the cashier attempted
to give an alarm whereupon he re-
ceived a bullet in his left leg. The
robbers reached their horses and
escaped.

Washington, July 2.-Reaching a
height of sixty feet and a speed of

twelve times in eleven minutes. The
remarkable performance of the ma
chine won enthusiastic praise.
One accident marred the second

the drill grounds the motor stopped
and the aeroplane was gliding to the
earth when one of the wings struck
a tree, swerving it around with such
force that the right wing was badly
ripped. Wright escaped uninjured.
Wilbur Wright stated tonight there
would be no more trials until next
Thursday as he had to send to the

Crazed, Mother
Kills Daughter

Paris, July 2.-Excitement was
caused in one of the most crowded
streets of Paris late last night by the
act of a woman who, in fit of mad
ness, fired and killed her own daugh-
ter in a cab She had come from
the country with her daughter, and
had for some weeks given signs Of
mental alteration. Her hallucinatiOn
was that she and her daughter were
constantly in danger of being al
tackled by brigands.
The womans husband had consult
ed a doctor, and was advised to per-
suade her to enter an asylum as soon
as she became violent, but so far
her mania seemed to be only OF a
mild character But these appear
ances were deceptive. She had Sc
cretly procured a revolver, and after
she had been driving for, some time in
the cab she suddenly fired two shots
at the head of her daughter, who fell
backwards, and never recovered con-
sciousness. She was only II years
of age, and expired during the night
at hospital.
At the police station, the woman
expressed satisfaction at having, as
she supposed, saved her daughter
from the brigands. She had also left,
it is said, some letters with her hus
band, in which she hints that she
intended to commit suicide after TAX
ing the life of her daughter

Paris, July "A scene of savagery

Chapelle last night Dancing was in
full swing when two ruffians of the
lowest order fell to quarrelling over
the favors of an Apache queen Arm
ed with chairs, the men decided to
regulate their differences by a HON.
eric duel. The policeman on duty in
the establishment interyened. The
men turned upon him and stretched
him on the floor. Other policemen
arrived This was the signal for a
general melee
The Apaches mustered and attack
ed the policemen, striking them with
their fists and knucl.le- busters. It
would have gone hard with the repre-
sentatives of authority had not three
soldiers, hearing the commotion, en-
tered the building and assisted them.
The soldiers were kicked and cuffed
in turn. Though seriously wounded,
they maintained bold front to the
Apaches. The affair would have re-
suited itself into a massacre had not
fifteen policemen arrived. Even
these reinforcements were attacked.

FUTURE BRIGHT
FOR THE OYSTER
GOVERNOR BROWN CALLS ON
LEGISLATURE TO PROTECT
/ THE INDUSTRY.
He Advises State Protection to De-
veIop Great Industry Along the
Georgia Coast Equal to That Of Vir-
1 ginia and Maryland.

If the predictions of a Brunswick
Ian who has discussed the matter at
length with Governor Brown hold true,
Glynn, Mcintosh, Bryan, Camden and
Chatham counties are to be given spe-
.cial attention in the new administra-
tons constructive program.
Governor Brown, on his trip to
Darien, took special interest," said
this party last night, ''in digging out
the actual causes for the backward
ness of the oyster industry along the
Georgia coast. He showed an earnest
desire to know what could be done
to remedy the present deplorable con-
ditions which totally discourage any
owner of marsh front from engaging
in the planting of oyster beds. The
plan of state-owned beds protected
by the state with rigid inspection in
terested. him very much.
Although he has but quietly called
attention to this opportunity for the
new legislature to do things for the
coast counties, am certain that the
governor will leave no stone unturn-
ed to bring about the new develop
ment l am indeed hopeful for the
future of the oyster industry and l
predict that within five years there
will be a dozen canneries where we
now have one. These canneries will
send oysters all over America and
in return will bring money here from
every section"
Recommends Action.
That portion of the message sent
in on Thursday relating to oysters
is as follows:
Our laws as to fishing should also
be in harmony with the plan to stock
the streams with fish and to give
them such protection as will cause
them to increase rather than become
extinct.
"And upon this line I suggest that
a joint committee be named by the
general assembly to examine the
state laws of Maryland, Virginia and
other coastal states on the subject of
beds, with the view to making these
beds a source of income to our peo-
pie and of revenue to the state.
Our coastal waters are as good
for the propagation of oysters as are
those of other adjoining states;
and if they, notably Maryland and
Virginia, derive large annual revenue
from this source, it would be well for
Georgia to do the same
