GEORGIA WOMAN LOSES CASE.
Court Says 1t Is No Harm to Sell
Counterfeit Coin.


Counterfeit Coin.
Shrewd green goods men, accord
ing to a decision rendered by the
State Court of Appeals, can find a
profitable and danger free field of
operation in Georgia-that is, if
they will devote themselves to the
pleasant task of taking real money
in return for promises of lucre of
queer variety. This interesting
fact came to light in the appealed
case of Foster VS.. the state, which
originated in the following manner:
Foster, it is alleged, offered to
sell a Mrs. Robertson of Gainesville,
Ga, five hundred dollars in counter
felt money for one hundred dollars
in the coin of the realm. They Jour
neyed to Jacksonville, Fla, in order
to get the counterfeit, Mrs. Robert
son giving Foster one hundred dol
lars and expense money He disap-
peared and she returned home, sad
der and wiser The court held that
for crime to be punishable as
cheating and swindling something of
value must be the consideration. and
as counterfeit money is not valuable
Foster committed no crime in taking
one hundred dollars from Mrs. Rob-
ertson, who would have been guilty
of a felony had she received the
spurious money.

ALL COUNTIES SHOULD VOTE
ALEXANDER SAYS ENTIRE PEG
PIE SHOULD NAME SENATOR.
Bill to Rearrange Senatorial Districts
Defeated. A Live Discussion
of the Measure.

of the Measure.
ATLANTA, Ga.-There will be no
increase in the number of senatorial
districts in this state yet awhile.
After hearing its legislative part
ner-the senate-fiercely assailed
and denounced as an anomalous
body, existing without reason and
representing nobody nor anything, -
the house of representative voted
yesterday afternoon to defeat the bill
by Mr.. HUE of Clayton, which pro-
vided that the number of senatorial
districts shall be increased from Al
to so.
The measure, if passed, would
have had the effect of giving one
senator each to the counties of Full
ton, Chatham, Bib, Richmond,
Floyd and Muscogee, the five big
counties of the state, and the other
districts would have been so divided
as to make the total number of dis
tricts sixty.
The Georgia senate, as at pres
ent constituted, is not representa-
tive declared Mr.. Hall of Bibb, in
support of the measure. 1T has no
place in democratic government, and
represents nobody nor anything"
Mr., Alexander of DeKalb took
practically the same position, only
he was more vigorous in his argu-
ment
Mr.. AIeXander's Position.
THE senate, as at present consti-
tuted," said he, is nothing more
than little petty Juggling political
machine, due to the system of rota-
ton in electing members to that
Office
Under this rotation system, which
provides that no senator shall sue
coed himself, regardless of his merit,
two-thirds of the counties of this
state are disfranchised all the time
because they are not allowed under
the present plan to have a voice in
the election of the senator from that
district. The tendency, therefore, is
to fill the senate with men who have
no excuse for being there. What we
need is a democratic government
where a senator represents some
thing. The rotation system is the
weak spot in our government"
Mr.. Alexander's position was based
on the allegation that with senate
rial districts composed of more than
one county and with each county
taking its turn every two years in
electing a senator, and with only the
voters of the county from which he
is selected voting to select him, the
rest of the people in the district are
without a representative in the SEN
one.

WOMAN LOST FROM BOAT.
Mrs. Marion Mayo of Augusta Miss
ing When Steamer Docked.

A New York dispatch says: Mrs.
Marion Mayo of Augusta, Ga, re-
puted to be wealthy and of social
position, who took passage on the
steamer City of Columbus from Sa-
vannah, was missing when the
steamer reached New York today.
Captain Johnson of the City of Co
lumbus says he believes Mrs Mayo
had stolen out of her stateroom dur
ing the night and threw herself into
the water. He said she appeared to
be melancholy, and had kept to her
quarters nearly all the time during
the voyage.
Captain Johnson said yesterday
Mrs. Mayo was an interested spec
tator of the burial at sea of a negro
cook, and after that she went to her
cabin and was not seen again.
AS soon as Mrs. Mayo was missed
today her cabin was examined and
all of her clothing was found to be
intact.

The Munger System thor
oughly cleans and dries the
cotton before it delivers it to
the feeders. The process of
handling the cotton in the
elevator, separator and dis
tributor, in addition to remov-
ing all the trash and dirt,
opens up and looSens the
cotton, leaving it in the best
possible condition for the
gins to handle.
In cases where the cotton
is particularly dirty and trashy
the operation of separating,
cleaning and drying can be
repeated before delivery to
the feeders. On this account
the Munger System can
handle cotton under any and
all conditions and is the only
outfit which can.

NEELY CASE ANEW.
Court Crticises Government
for attaching Bail.

The case against Charles F W. Neely.
who was in charge of the Bureau of
Finance of the Department of Posts al
Havana during the military occupation OF
Cuba by this government. may come up
again in the United States Circuit Court.
Neely was originally accused of having con-
verted to his own use the proceeds of stamp
sales amounting 10 about $4,000. He was
paroled down there under the Cuban gen
eral amnesty act. then ws> indicted in this
city by the federal grand jury. and when
brought mere gave S0O casn bail for his
appearance.
On top of this indictment the government
brought a civil suit against him for s45.375.
and Judge Lacombe. on May "a. 1899. issued
an attachment against the $4,000 bail,
which, when deposited with United States
Commissioner Shields consisted Of two
$4,000 bills. The civil suit was tried in
April. 1894. the jury disagreed and the re-
trial has been held up ever since
In 1907 Neely's counsel tried to have the
attachment against the cash bail removed,
but failed. He tried again last month. and
yesterday Judge Coke again overruled a
motion to vacate, but gave leave to renew
if proof would be furnished that the case
had been noted for trial in the April term
of court and that the defendant had been
ready TO proceed, but had been prevented
from doing so by the action Of the govern
ment, Judge Coke. in overruling the mo-
ton. said that TO require a party charged
with crime TO deposit $4,000 in order TO OBJ
tain his freedom pending trial and imme-
diately attach il in a civil case savored Of
methods which could not be commended
adding:
That the defendant Is entitled 10 some
relief is not seriously disputed. The Civi
action against him was tried IN April. 1904
resulting in a disa greemenJ OF the jury
Since then nothing has been done.

has been ''unconsCiOuable delay" but at
