LEFT "JR." OFF HIS CHECKS
The Albany Man Who Cashed Them
Now Wants Ben TaIiaferrO, Jr.,
For Swindling and Cheating.

Every little movement has a
meaning all its own"
And if Ben Taliaferro of Airing
ton had made little extra move
ment of the pen and added the alb
breviation 'Jr." to his signature on
three checks there would not now be
three warrants out for his arrest on
the charge of cheating and swind-
ling.
Taliaferro was in Albany the other
day, and it is alleged that he got F.
e. Daniels, life insurance agent, to
endorse three checks. Mr.. Daniels
was cautious, and, at the suggestion
of Taliaferro, called up the Bank of
Arlington. He was informed that
Ben Taliaferro had enough money
on deposit there to cover the amount
of the checks, so without further
hesitation he endorsed them.
1t is alleged that Taliaferro cash
ed the checks at various places in
Albany, and that yesterday they we're
returned from the Bank of Airing
ton and Daniels had to make them
good.
Investigation followed, and re-
vealed a peculiar state of affairs, so
it is alleged. There was an account
in the Arlington bank in the name
of Ben Taliaferro, Jr., which is said to
be the correct name of the man who
signed the checks, but in signing
them it is alleged that he left off the
'Jr." Therefore the checks were
turned down at the bank.
Yesterday Mr.. Daniels went to Ar
lington, near where Taliaferro lives,
and interviewed that person. He al
leges that Taliaferro would give him
no satisfaction, and laughed at him.
He came back to Albany and swore
out three warrants before Justice
deGraffenreid.
None of the checks were for large
amounts, the largest being for
$1,000, it is said.-Albany Herald.

1T FLOWS IN ATLANTA.

There's Plenty of Red Liquor on Tap
at the Capital.
That enormous quantities of liquor
are now coming into the city for
blind tiger purposes is the statement
made by Councilman John T. McClel-
land, author of the ordinance requir-
ing common carriers to report re-
cepits of all liquor shipment to At
lanta. Mr.. McClelland says that all
but two or three common carriers
are now complying with this law, and
that there is no excuse if the police
do not unearth the blind tigers which
are handling the stuff Mr.. McClel-
land says the reports show one man
received 1900 pints one day and
1000 pints the following day. 1t is
needless to say, he remarked, that
he was not buying this for personal
consumption.

TRIBUTE TO A GOOD WOMAN.
A Friend Writes of the Late Mrs. r.
l.. Watson.

l.. Watson.
Sadness again Swallowed our COM
munity when on April 9Th, 1911, the
spirit of Mrs. R. l.. Watson winged
it's flight heavenward and passed into
the great unknown. Words are pow
erleSs to express our sorrow for that
family, for we realize what a great
loss they have sustained. She had
always lived among us, and we knew
and loved her; knew her from years
of association, loved her for her
many noble traits of character.
Mrs Watson had been a member
Of the Baptist church for a number
of years and she proved by her pa
tience through all the trying days of
aff1iction and her resignation when
the end came that it was well with
her soul.
She was in the prime of life, and
had always been a healthy, energetic
woman until a few months prior to
her death. She was perfectly devot-
ed to her home and family, and al
ways enjoyed the society of her
friends. o, how we all miss her;
still we cannot wish her back to suf-
fer again, for she has gone where
the letters of this life will be felt
no more. She has gone to that home
eternal in the heavens. God prepar-
ed for all who will accept He is
infinite in mercy and blessings.
AS we behold our friends and low
ed ones pass from US one by one we
are made to realize that some day
we too must give UP the things of
this life and pass on to our reward.
We can't understand why we are
thus bereft, but it isn't for us to
question Gods decree, and though
the cup be bitter take and drink,
and never murmur; remember that
though the cross be great il can't
outweigh His grace. The greatest
consolation is that you can place your
hand in His and He will lead you
on until that day when He will call
| you forth. Then you can see and
understand, and the former things
will pass away.
Mourn not thy dead who are at rest
From all earth's cares supremacy
blest;
| For them the tolls of life are Ger
All sorrow ceased forever more.
Sasser, Ga. A FRIEND.

DO GHOSTS HAUNT sWANIPs?

No, never. It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and fe-
yer, weakness aches in the bones

typhoid. But Electric Bitters de-

GETTING READY FOR SOLONS
BUSY SESSION AHEAD OF THE
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Anti-HOke Smith Men May Preside in
Senate and House. Senatorial
Election to Be Decided.

Election to be Decided.
ADVANTAGES than two months
now remain before the assembling of
the legislature, and the interim no
doubt will be replete with political
and legislative interest.
This is a new legislature, elected
last October, and considerable inter
est will, therefore, center in its or
ganization.
Generally recognized to be a Hoke
Smith legislature in point of political
sentiment there is still some decided
question as to whether the Hoke
Smith forces will succeed in organiz-
ing it.
1t seems to be the general impress
sion that John NJ Slaton Of Atlanta,
senator from the 35th, will be elected
president of the senate, succeeding
himself in the position he has held
for the last two years. Mr.. Slaton
has never been in the Hoke Smith
political school, while his opponent,
Senator e. Sheppard of Sumter
county, is strong Smith man. Poll
ticians express confidence in Mr. Stat
on's success.
Holder in the House.
Over in the house John ~ Holder
of Jackson, also of the other school
of political thought" wants to sue
coed himself as speaker. His Hoke
Smith opponent is w. H. Burwell of
Hancock, who was a leader of the
Smith forces in last years senate.
Judge H. w. Hopkins of Thomas also
is a possible candidate for speaker.
So far as known he has never been
aligned with tn Smith element
The situation in the house, there
fore, is considerably more doubtful,
although Holders friends express
almost as much confidence as do
those of Slaton in his success.
1t looks as if John T. Boireuillet
would be reelected clerk of the
house, and Charles S. Northen secre-
tary of the senate; neither of them
has material opposition, and neither
is a Hoke Smith man. Possibly, how
ever, many of the minor Offices in
the house and senate will go to the
Smith supporters.
In the next place comes the cleo

AGAINST WAR.

Baron Constant told the following
to the people of st. Lois:
American soldiers should be en-
ployed in building roads, instead Of
being trained for possible war
You allow your rivers to go to
waste when they should bear a
great part of the country's COM
merce.
1t makes me weep to see the noble
river for which La Sale gave his
life put to no useful purpose
Japan is too far away to be an
enemy if the United states. Only
close neighbors can be enemies.
The idea of war between this
country and Mexico is absurd. AS
well would a neghbor mix in a next
door quarrel because brick was
thown in his yard.
Women should stop war by re-
fusing to consider the soldier glo-
rious or anything but a killer.

SHALL TEACHERS MARRY?

New Jersey law says NO" but
there's an effort to chance it, Lots
of the teachers want to marry, and
are lighting for their rights
Those who are opposed say:
When a teacher marrias she
should leave the place open to 9TH
ers who need to make a living. Fur
thermore, the married teacher is Sc
engrossed in her own household that
she ncglects the school.
Here's the answer:
The married teacner can afford tc
employ the necessary household
help. She is a better, more sympa-
thetic teacher for having a home
of her own Cost of living is such
that many couples cannot marry un'
less both contrive to earn. And t
deny marriage to those who want +
marry is a shame
Perhaps the argument is not all or
one side, yet severely practical con-
siderations weigh heavily against
employing married women as teach
ers. AS general practice, it would
probably not be workable.
As for the ladies who want to mar.
ry and teach school and can't dc
both, everybody will feel sorry foi
them. In an ideal state of society
marriage would be purely an affair
of the healt-and pocketbooks 60
hang! But under existing condition.
it's risky ladies, to marry man who
can't support you.
Guess YOU will have TO choosl
between the husband and the sal

LESSON FROM HOOD RIVER

A great lesson can be learned b,
the growers of the Yakima vale!
from the attempt to disrupt the or
ganizatior at Hood River. which
failed recently only because it wa
fcrgbt with tenacity OF purpose
little short of marvellous By the rep
resentative growers of that district
Quoting from THE Fruitman''
Guide which devoted large part
of the front page of its last ISSUE
to discussion of this subject: "The
Rule or Ruin faction has been badly
disconnected and the same board oil
directors that put Hood River on the
map Is still snugly ensconsed in this
saddle. The plan to disrupt the UNI
ion was knocked galley west at the
recent election of the Hood River
Apple Growers Union, and the trou-
BILE makers. who. as a matter OF fact.
were only stalking horses for an
eastern concern with everything TO
gain and nothing to lose by disrupt
ing the Union-have q few moro
guesses coming to them"
The point to be gathered frcm Hood
Rivers fortunate escape, is that in
the organization of every co-opera-
tive association of producers of any
commodities, the evils to be avoided
are stipulations in the constitution
and the bylaws which make it even
remotely possible for any one person
Or set OF persons to control a ma-
lority of votes In other words prac-
ideally no such association is safe
rom the future possibility of out
hide control, unless it has arranged
definitely against the barter and sale
Of its shares of stock. or, as in the
Ease of our Yakima valley Fruit
Growers association, has no capital
Jtock whatever, but only memberships,
one for each grower. allowing only
one vote to each grower, which MEM
bership is inseparable from his land
and cannot be subject to msnipula ton
in the market.
Continuing, the "Fruitman's Guide"
says, in speaking of the problem IF
distributing Hood Rivers fruit: Nat
urally, the problem is getting harder
and !arder every year. Hood RiVer
no longer holds a monopoly Of fine
quality fruit. There are other dis
tricts in the Northwest that grow
tust as perfect apples, and other dis
tricts that are today holly contrasting
'or the apple championship belt (
= ridiculous to suppose that Hood
r,y.~ has the same hold on the cen
sumption and the trade that 1t had
some years ago The apple industry
in the northwest has developed to
such a degree that Hood River today
must takes its chances in the con-
test With other sections turning out
equally fine fruit, and the grower
who imagnes that the Hood River
apple will sell on it's name alone and
IL not susceptible to ordinary market
conditions. cannot see beyond the con-
fines of his own orchard"

And at those prices the advertising

pays. 1t certainly requires constd-
cradle conceit for a merchant in a
small town to give it as his opinion
that advertising doesn't pay" or that
"he can't afford to advertise in the
