Morse, who is now rnending his time at the post hospital at Fort MePherson in an effortlto regain his lost health
 Adler will be. fit successor to the New York banker. His story reads like some romance. so wonderfully mixed in it are the good and the bad things of fortune l
 His case has now been hanging fire in the courts for long number of monthss

TRYING TO REMEDY
 THE LAWS DELAY
Atlanta Judges Are Discussing Pro- posals to Be Submitted to
 the Legislature

Atlanta, December 23.-(Special)-As a result of the recent meeting of the judges of the superior court in Atlanta during which the many delays of the law were fully and thoroughly discussed it is very probable that some of the numerous ave- nues of appeal from one court to another will be closed up.
 The judges were asked at the last ses- sion of the legislature to get together at the first possible moment and 10 agree on some plan by. which suggestions for changes in procedure. and suggestions for the betterment of the present laws, could be brought before the general assembly, with the backing of the most influential and most expert opinion the state could give--that Of the judges, who more than any other body of men, know how easy 1t is to keep cases hanging fire.
 II was at first intended to hold three days meeting in Atlanta, but after fun, frank and free discussion of the situation, the judges decided it was far better to appoint committee. which would find the time to look into the matter carefully and make up a number Of suggestions these to be submitted at later meeting of the judges This meeting will be held m ADTil anu flN ti'fAL t''f'' tN -
 that a bill will be drawn up embodylnH tine desired changes, and presented to the legislature.
 Of course the bill may not be passed bv the legislature in the form suggested because there are many minds in the leg islature but since that body asked for the suggestions it is believed that there VII he several important changes made
 The lawyers of the state are not ex- actly unanimous on the matter or changes however. Most of them admit that ther' are many unnecessary delays in fighunt cases. all the way up. perhaps rom 'h' justice court to the supreme court pu tbe, noint out that it fig better than lV puiity men go free than one innocen man be punished. and say that the law recognizes that man has the peheit U the doubt in every case.
 The question of doing away With th' lechnicalities of the law is considered very delicate matter, however
 ."rhere are techncaiities, of course said one lawyer. which are unnecessary and which cause needless delays, bu while they are condemned whole lot. am while if must be admitted they result Ire ouentlv in needless delays, it must be re membered that the defendant has wit' him the presumption of innocence an' these techncalities are put in to give th benefit of the doubt.

went about answering the demands of the people like real statesmen
 They revised two of the most obnoxious schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and sent them to the President. They backed the laws with facts and figures and the argument that the schedules mad proven unsatisfactory, that the republic ans had declared them so and that the people demanded the relief that the dem- ocratic bills promised.
 The President refused to allow them to become law. Why? For the admitted req son that he did not know if they were just and equable. He vetoed the bills and begged for more time to secure informa- ton from board that he had created.
 The people were asked to suffer for a while longer the iniquities of the old law until he could be advised to his own sat sfaction. The democrats in passing the new laws had been satisfied. They had machinery for the gathering of data Everybody had admitted that the old laws were bad and the people were clamorng for relief but the people must wait. The President and the republican party must parry for political advantage
 So the people were forced to wait on the caprice of the President.
 His tariff board reported this week and confirmed the position and contentious of the democrats last summer The Presi- dents message admits all this and he now insists that the Congress go ahead and revise the tariff. In this advice com ing after he had been forced to it by the demands of the people, by the action of

ATLANTA ID MAKE
 DRIVERS CAREFUL Grand Jury Indicts White Auto Drivers Involved in
 Fatal Accidents

Atlanta, December 23-(Special.)-F this time on auto drivers will have to be very careful in Atlanta, for the time has passed when special leniency will be shown in their cases.
 This was very clearly demonstra ted on last Wednesday when the grand jury re- turned three indictments against drivers who have been participants in accidents which have resulted fatally for the vic tims.
 This is the first time when such action has been taken by the grand jury and it shows plainly the trend on public opin- ion in the city.
 The time has passed when the plea of accident will be sufficient to free a man charged with causing the death of somo poor unfortunate, who happened to be crossing the street at the time.
 From this time on, all possible liberty will be given to the careful drivers, and the grand jury will see to it that they are given the fullest protection, but when it is proven that a man or woman is care
 less in handling machine, they will be forced Ito answer to juries.
 The most important indictment of the three so far returned is that against pr. O. H. Morris, who is charged with caus- ing the death of Farrar Hal some weeks ago. The accident occurred at the corner of Forsyth and Luckie streets, and was said by witnesses to have been caused by carelessness. It was charged that the machine was being run too fast and that some of tie curtains, which should have been up, W ere down.
 The indictment is important largely be- cause of the fact that it is the first eyer to be returned against Q white man. pr. Morris was held by Recorder Broyles for the offensc, and the grand jury merely followed his lead A number of negroes have been held for trial by the higher courts at several times. In addition to pr. Morris. there will be two other defendants, who must answer to the charge of violating the road laws of the state. one is Ed Hayes. who is the chauffeur for Mrs. Moody. Some time ago he fig ured in an accident in which Miss Aline Edward was killed and her sister badly injured, just after they had stepped off Of street car in West End. Another case in which death resulted was the accident in which John Williams a city driver for the sanitary department ran down an old lady named Miss Ophelia O'Toole, and within a short time she died from her injuries
 The trials of all three will be held at the next term of court.

credit. When the panic was over it was found that the affairs of the company were apparently in the best of shape in so far as trade was concerned, but there was no ready money. It was easily seen that it was only q question of. time be- fore all accounts would be paid, for the last one of them was worth all the money they owed. They simply could not pay what they owed at the time.
 It was an easy enough situation for a man like Adler to solve He controlled the grocery store, he controlled the bank. What easier than to lend himself all the money he needed from the funds of the bank Si
 But when the time came for the repay ment of the money times were still hard and it was absolutely impossible to re- pay what was used There was nothing to do but to make a quick get away.
 Adler decided to leave in style, and so gave it out that he was going to take shis family with him on long trip to Europe. On this pretext he bought all he needed in the way of supplies--his credit was excelent-and on one of his own ships suddenly disappeared.
 For a long time 1t was not known where he was. Then it was learned he had made his way to Honduras Finally times became better all the money owed the grocery company was repaid; the company was on it's feet again. and the bank was reopened, every debt being set tied.
 Then Adler decided to come home, but the indictments against him and his con- viction followed.

MASON OUTLINES
 FUTURE PLANS To Be Carried Out By Elgin
 Butter Board POTTER IS PRESIDENT
POTTER IS PRESIDENT
Investigation of Legality of Quota ton Committee in Reference to Sherman Law First Official
 Action of Insurgents

Elgin, H., December 23.-Investiga- tion of the legality of the quotation committee of the Elgin butter board in reference to the Sherman antitrust law will be the first official action of the newly elected "insurgent' officers of the board. according to J. P. Mason, treasurer, who outlined future plans of the board in the absence of Charles IT. Potter who was elected president of the board today.
 The question of whether this price committee was operated in violation of the Sherman law was raised by "'ln- surgent" butter men at the annual cleo tion of directors last Monday.
 "Federal laws will be inquired into, said MT. Mason. and the question of the legality of the question committee definitely settled.
 "The majority of the directors are strongly in favor of retaining the quo tation committee, but if it is found to be operated in violation of the Sher- man antitrust act it will be abolished. Mr. Mason expressed doubt that the board wiuld be successfully operated without the quotation committee. we have got to regulate our price accord ing to other markets" he said, with out the price committee we would be handicapped to an extent.
 With MT. Potters election IS presi- dent there was expected to come Ichange in the manner of operating the Elgin board which fixes butter prices in the middle west and is a standard for America. The new presidents idea was to abolish the quotation committee entirely.
 This committee was the basis of the insurgency in the board. It operates with the full power of the board and may change or rescind its action at will. It was contended by the insurgents that the committee operated in viola tion of the Sherman law.
 For % years this committee has been in full charge of Elgin butter quota tions John Newman, deposed as the president after F years of service, pre- dicted that no change could be made in the power of the committee without killing the prominence of the Elgin market Among the insurgents there is a faction that believes in the main tenance of the committee. but fixing the price by the actual sales of the board.

the democratic House of Representatives and by the findings of his own tariff board he assumes to take the credit for leadership in tariff revision.
 The only fighting ground that is left for the republicans is the question of de- grees. They have been forced to join the fight for revision or at least to admit that revision should be had. They Will simply drop down the line and oppose the degree of revision and try to make political capital of. it. But the people want revision and they will not haggie very much over the degree of revision.
 The Presidents own admission at this late hour that the democratic position in the concrete is correct is the Waterloo of that party. The people will now look 10 the democrats for the relief they want and thoy will depend upon that party 10 esta hIish inc lines and limits of revision. They care less for the degree of revision than for revision itself.

A Corrections.

A friend has called attention to re-
grettable error on the part of the writer.
In our issue of August 31st in the short
article making mention of the new Plain
Dealing High School catalogue ap-
peared the following paragraph:
"The faculty for the coming term OF
the school is shown and named in the
order given: Mr.. Robert E. Bright,
Principal; Mrs. r. E. Bright, Miss
Johnnie Dean, Miss Tommie McCranie,
Miss Marguerite Caldwell and Miss
Inez Bright" p,
There are seven teachers in the school,
but the reader will notice that the names
OF only six are mentioned. Following
the name of the principal that of Miss
Margaret Colbert should have appeared.
The omission was merely an mad
vertent oversight, but we regret it none
the less on that account. Our intention
was. of course, to have the entire faculty
appear in print. Miss Colbert is from
Gibsland and very pleasant and at
tractive young woman indeed. Last
term she taught in Benton High School
and, aside from making an unqualified
success in her work, made many friends,
who regret that she did not again ac-
cept the place, which was offered to her
Despite the fact that she is still in hel
teens, she is a successful teacher, and
both the teachers in Plain Dealing High
School and the patrons are to be con-
graduated over the fact that she holds
! her present position.
