The Centerville papers r in
clined to rather severely criticise
Judge Joseph j.. Williams because
of his adjourning the November
term of the Reynolds Circuit Court
after a sitting of only one week,
and leaving some five hundred
cases untried. While l admit that
such a short term was unpre-
cedented in his administration,
and therefore calls for remark and
interrogation, yet I think my
brethren are a little hasty in
animadversion. The Judge, no
doubt, as he viewed the hole the
voters had dug for him, felt i'm

A GREAT BANANA PORT
New Orleans Averages 100000 Bunehes !
Honih..last fear Record Breaker

New Orleans, Jan. 19.-An averae,
Of nearly 100000 lunches Of ba
nanas a month passed through the
port Of New Orleans last year, break.
ing all previous resords. As a ba.
mana port New Orleans continues as
the greatest in the world.
During 1909 more than 100000
cocoanuts arrived in ships from
the different tropical countries and
were shipped out Of New Orleans bv
the various railroads to all parts Of
the United States Canada and Mexico
Eighty per cent Of the bananas last
year were handled by the Illinois
Central, the other part Of the bust
ness being taken care of by the
Louisville and Nashville and the
Traders Dispatch. All during the
year special trains are run North to
take care Of the great shipments Of
this popular fruit.
Thousands of refrigerator cars
were used for transferring the ba-
nanas from the ships to the commits
sion merchants in the various cities
throughout the country, st. Louis and
Chicago taking a large percentage Of
the shipments. From these two
the fruit is shipped to the re-
tailers. More than 400 shipments
of bananas were required to fill the
demand made BY the banana eating
Il all the bananas which passed
through New Orleans last year were
distributed among the people of the
States, each person roughly
'peaking would have about twenty
bananas as his share of the fruit.
st retail the bananas brought more

SIGNING BwLINDFOLDED.
Mansfield journal Tells Of the EVILS which
May Follow Reckless Practice.

The old saw to the effect that a
man will sign a petition to have his
best friend hanged contains an ele-
ment of near-truth that sometimes
approaches the ridiculous and often
operates to place good men and
true in the most embarrassing posi-
tions. Credulity, confidence in the
person presenting the petition and
their representation as to what the
document contains is all that is nee
essarY to obtain the signature Of
the average citizen. In this conf
dence and without reading or further
investigation, the majority Of men
sign petitions and many Of them
wake up to lasting regret Of their
indiscretion.
It must be taken for gran ed that
every petition circulated for sigma.
lures has behind it a motive and
that the person carrying it is person
ally identified with the motive.
Hence, representation as to what it
{
contains is not enough; at least, a
written document may embody more
and convey an entirely different
meaning to that expressed orally,
to say nothing Of the intent to de-
sometimes ~actuating the pc
.titioner whose cause is weak and
would tell you the purpose of his
petition rather than have you read it,
4 safe rule in signing anything is
g know what you are signing before
land and the only way to know is to
cad it. To plead guilty to signing
petition without a knowledge of
IS contents is an admission Of weak
less and not an excuse for error

BOAT CREWS GET
DOWN TO BUSINESS

Three Healani crews were out late
yesterday afternoon for practice. They
were the juniors and two strawberry
contigents. The latter two crews will
have a race a week from next Sunday
and the crew winning at that time
will be chosen to race against the
Myrtles strawberry crew on the
special regatta day.
The Myrtles are also out with two
crews every afternoon. They were
over the course yesterday and did very
satisfactory work.
Not in years has there been so much
enthusiasm in the HealanI crews as
at present. Every man seems to be
on edge for a record, and the. crews
may be depended upon to give a good
account of themselves in any races
that may offer in the future.
