Elizabeth Rossi of Hardwick, who
was arrested for keeping intoxicat-
ing liquor with intent to sell at the
time of the Hardwick raid last Dec
ember, and who entered plea of
guilty at that time and whose case
was continued for sentence, vas
sentenced in Caledonia county court
to pay fine of $500 and costs with
usual alternate sentence; execution
of sentence was stayed and the res
pondent was placed in the hands of
the probation officer. The case of the
Trustees of Caledonia County Gram
mar School VS.. George T. Howard
and S. Blanche Kent, an action of
ejectment to recover possession Of
certain land in Hardwick, has been
finished At an early stage in the
troal of the case the court dismissed
the case against the defendant,
George T. Howard, as it appeared
that he had no interest in the land
| in question. At the close of the
| plaintiffs evidence the defendant
moved that the court direct YER
dict for her to recover her costs on
the ground that the plaintiff had
shown no title to the lot in question
because there was no evidence of an
acceptance of the land granted to its
use by the state; and if they ever
had any title it had been lost by
abandonment and non-user for
nearly a century. The motion for d
verdict was granted by the court
upon the grodnu that there had been
an abandonment Of the grant.

"Do you mean to tell me-" asked a
learned counsel when he was cross ex-
aiming Mr.. Whistler in a well known
case, "that for a piece of work which
takes you only half an hour you can
charge so extravagant a priceT And
Mr.. Whistler's answer remains the
classical apology of all learned and
technical skill YES" he replied, but
/ am charging for the knowledge and
experience of lifetime" A doctors
fee may seem enormous to a patient
who is aware that he has seen him
for only twenty minutes. 1t still re-
mains true that what is charged repre-
sents that accumulated mass Of hardly
earned experience which distinguishes
the medical proficient from the mere
amateur.-London Telegraph.

WEEK. END GOSSIP
 FROM THE CAPITAL
BY HERvEY ". LAIRD.

Montgomery, October 9.-(Special) Alexander M. Garber, attorney gen eral, is swamped with letters asking him to rule on ten thousand ques- tions of law almost. Half dozen good lawyers could not get over legal tangles that are daily passed up to him. Here is a sample: A man living in this county several years is just being naturalized Can he vote with out having paid his poll tax? And an- other though it is easy: preach CT desires to know if he can, under the Fuller bill, use wine for sacra- mental purposes. And there are many others. Garber does not have to answer the great bulk of the ques- tions and he cannot if he would, which will explain why some letters are not answered.
 The Real Nerve.
 The officers of the bacteriology de- partment have a kick on the nerve of a number of people in the state. Although they examine dogs heads for rabies and in case of persons being bitten give treatment free, many who send dogs heads to be investigated leave the office to pay the express charges. What this lacks of being good sized gall the boys on the third floor would like to ask.
 Wallace to Speak.
 John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and fish commissioner. will speak on game and fish and forestry preservation at the Tennessee Valley fair at Hunts vile. October 15 MT. Wallace was one of the organizers of this associa- tion, which Is in his home town, and has ever retained a warm place in his heart for it's success. With a sub ject next his heart and the faces of his neighbors and friends to cheer him on, the tall sycamore of the north state will be in his best humor.
 Wilkinson for Judge.
 W. F. Wilkinson, chief clerk of the department of agriculture, is running for probate judge in his own county of Antauga, and it is reported that he will have fine chance to win. The judge was aforetime in the office and also served the state as an examiner of public accounts.
