TOOK MULES and wagon
And MADE A HIKE
Macon Men Arrested at Al
bGDy.

Albany, Ga, Feb. 1.-Two young
white men scarcely out of their teens
we're arrested near the county convict
camp, south of the city, this morning
on the charge of stealing two mules
and {. wagon from E. Hatcher, of AT
ling;on. They gave their names as
Frank and Will Jones, and said they
had two sisters living in Macon, which
c:ly they claim is their home.
They were taken to Newton, coun-
ty seat of Baker county, in which the
theft is alleged to have been com
nitted, by Deputy Sheriff John CO..
ton.
The fugitives were oyertaken about
quarter of a mile from the convict
camp, going in the direction of New
ton They say they camped out two
nights in the woods, and were trying
to find the road to Columbus, where
they expected to go to work in a fac
tory, but had 10 tstheir way, and We :
going back in almost the same dire2-
ticn they had come.
They had come into Dougherty couu-
ty on the Pretoria road and near the
canvict camp had taken the road back
to Newton.

BRIDGE WHIST THE FAD
The WORLD over
Why Women Don't Learn to
Play Other Games

A man asked the other day, Can
you women do anything but play
bridge? Why don't you get some new
game for a changer"
On thinking about it, the universal
craze for bridge does seem strange
Progressive euchre" was once the
rage, but in the course of a few years
it died out Five hundred" Forty
two "Fantan," each had a brief reign
Duplicate whist-the finest game ever
played-was almost universally enjoy
ed a few years ago, and then came
bridge-and 10! bridge still reigns the
world over. 1t runs through the mag
azines; the heroines and heroes in all
the popular novels play "byidge"
matters not whether it is in Indiana,
France, London, South America OF
New York-whenever the characters in
books or stories sit down for cards il
is bridge" that they play The only
relief from it We have are the Western
stories, where it is poker" that seems
the most popular-but then it is not
the ladies who are playing
What is the secret of the continued
and universal popularity of the game
"a popularity that shows no sign Ct
waning-here and elsewhere? 1t is
because it is a game that appeals
equally to the skilled and the unskilled
card player There is no game on ear.h
with more fine points; no game where
skill, strategy and finess come into
play more than in bridge. On the 9th
er hand, it is a game that a novice can
win if she holds the cards-the most
skillful playing on earth cannot win
against a beginner that holds four
aces and a few kings and queens.
Therefore, on account of the strong
element of luck it appeals to the in
different card player and the begin
ner, and yet, on account of the finer
points CT the game, the wonderful pos
sibilities of wise make" the "plac-
ing of the lead, etc, it appeals ire
sistibly to brilliant card-player Any
way, whatever the reason, bridge is
certainly the order of the day and only
a very few hold out against its fasain-
ations

THE DUTIES or THE ATTORNEY.
GENERAL.

some curiosity having been expressed
by a number of our readers as TO tho
authority for the Intervention of the
Attorneys-General OF Virginia. North
Carolina n South Carolina m the
proceedings before the United States
Circuit Court in New York in
the American Tobacco Company
case, it will interest them to
know that, at least so far as the At
torney-Cieneral of Virginia is concerned.
there is no authority. This is clear
from the Constitution and laws of the
state, In Section lO7 of the Constitu-
ton IT is provided that the Attorney
General shall perform such duties as
may be prescribed by law" Section
32oi of the Virginia Code reads as fol-
lows:
He shall appear as counse for the
State in all cases in which the Com
monwealth is interested. depending in
the Supreme Court of Appeals, the SUI
preme Court OF the United States, the
District und Circuit Courts OF the
United States for the Stnte of Virginia,
and the Circuit Court of the city of
"iH SAoii oiSo' W -lSll lc-
quested by the State Corporation Com
mission, appear as counsel. in any mat
ter or proceeding pending before the
said commission as a court of record.
and he shall discharge such other
duties rs may be imposed by the Cen
crnI Assembly"
The law appear to be entirely clear.
The duties of the Acknowledgement are
strictly defined by the Constitution and
laws of the State. He has no right to
appear excepting in the Virginia SUI
preme Court of Appeals. the Supreme
Court OF the United States, the Rich
mond Circuit Court, for the Corporation
Commission and in the United States
Courts for Virginia. and in these courts
only when the Commonwealth, as such,
is Interested. lie cannot go outside
these duties except by special direc-
ton of the General Assembly.
We are not quite certain as to the
duties of the Acknowledgement OF the
Carol!nas; but 1t Is not at all unlikely
that in their unprecedented action in
the American Tobacco case they bet
tered their instructions" 1t is well
that we should keep the record straight.

He has twice carried Ohio normally

The reforms accomplished in Har-

ably with those of the most progressive

cal achievements of immediate beneat

ADVANCE IN FOREIGN PRICES

Prlces have risen in other parts of
the world as we'll as in the United

prices OF the principal articles import
ed now with those of orrespondinr
periods in earlier years shows. in
some measure at least, the nuctuatton
IN prices IN the countries from which
these articles are imported.
RMS comparison Of prices is made
practicable ecause the Bureau or
statistics prints in It's summary of
commerce ana tnance a table showipa
the monthly average import prices of
the principal articles brought into the
nation, and states at the head of the
''n!e that the value of The goods rep
'esehts their value In the foreign mar
kets." The statement of average i'm
port prices Is obtained by comparing
quantity with value for the period in
question. or, in other words. by divid-
ing the stated quantity OF the article
under consideration into the stated
value therect. and thus determining
the import value per unit Of quantity.
