connection with the largo tonnage OF
both metallic and non-metallic MIN

ample railroad facilities, should bring
her production well to the front in
the near future. Statistics show that
the total value of the mineral produc-

JURY WOULD NOT
CONVICT A CLERK
Found Him Not Guilty Because
He Was a Clerk

Macon, Ga, June 14.-Pat Morse "a
clerk in the saloon operated by Mrs.
J. J. Flahive at 500 Cotton avenue, was
this morning acquitted of the charge
Of violating the prohibition law.
The jury retired yesterday before
dinner, but did not agree upon a ver-
dict until about 7:30 o'clock last
night. They returned a sealed verdict
which was read in court by Judge
Hodges this morning.
The jurors took the position that
Morse was merely a clerk for Mrs
Flahive, and although twas proven
that he handled whiskey, and that
shipments came to Macon directed to
him, the jury did not care to find the
employe and not the employer guilty
The evidence showed that scores OF
shipments of whiskey were delivered
to Mrs. Flahive's residence and that
a large quantity of it was found III
her home and place of business, both
Jy the police and the sheriff's officers
Her case is not assigned for trial this
week, but is on the Superior court
docket.

Montgomery, Ala, June 14.-On
account of the high price of cotton,
which, it is stated, makes it impossi-

tala cotton mills, with ten thousand
spindles, and the Montgomery Cord
age Company, using 125 bales of cot
ton per month, have closed their
plants for the summer. They will not
resume until the new crop is har-
vested in the fall.
Il is reported to local brokers that
TWO mills at Selma, Ala, two at Mo
bile, Ala, and one at Florence, Ala,
have suspended operations for SINH
Iar reasons, and that the mills at Av-
ondale, Ala, and Columbus, Ga, are
running on short time. Cotton mill

CONTEST TO CLOSE PROMPTLY
TONIGHT AT EIGHT O'CLOCK
There Will Be No Extension Of the
Time, But Contest viii Positively
Close TOnight--.Impartlal Judges
viii Render the Decision.

Promptly at o'clock tonight the
great contest that has been conducted
for several weeks past by The Times
Lectrder will come to a close. The
closing of the contest at s o'clock will
give sufficient time for all who wish to
work right up until the close of the
day.
The votes of the various contestants
will be consolidated and carefully cor
trected as soon as possible, but all con-
Itestants are urged TO take notice that
considerable time will be required to
get all the votes of each contestant to-
gether, to count and recount them all
carefully and to be sure that the fig
ures as rendered are absolutely corr
rect. That is the purpose of The
Times-Recorder management in rem
dering its decisions.
In order that there may be absolute
justice done to all, three judges, chos-
en- from the best known citizens of
Americus, will be named to award the
various prizes. The integrity and i'm
partiality of these men is unquestion-
ed, so that the decisions will be per-
fectly fair and unbiased and rendered
solely according to the merits of each
candidate as shown by the work done
This is positively and undoubtedly
the last day in which the contestants
may work in the contest 1t is today
Or never. Don't forget that there is
no extension of the time, and no fur
ther chance possible to do any work in
the contest after o'clock tonight. Ev-
cry contestant has been showing up
splendidly in the returns made the last
few days, while the returns for today
will undoubtedly swell by large num-
bers Of votes the final count to be
credited to each contestant
The spirited competition that has
been manifest from the very beginning
of the contest has never been shown
in more marked manner than during
the last few days, while not a single
individual who may possibly become
a subscriber will be overlooked, Ev-
cry contestant should be careful TO
cover her territory so fully today as
to leave nothing undone before the
close of the contest comes tonight.

Smith WILL NOW BOSS
The PRISON COMMISSION
Militia Won't Kick on Adiutant
General to Be

Atlanta, June 14.-The announce
ment by Governor Hoke Smith of the
appointment of Judge Patterson, OF
Griffin to the position on the pris-
on commission which will be made
vacant by the resignation of General
Evans, has put a stop to all specula-
ton, and has shown clearly that the
new governor intends to control the
commission.
1t is generally admitted that Mr.
Smith played . clever game of poll
tics when he appointed General Evans
.adjutant general
Adiutant General Scott is we'll lik-
ed all over the state and the militia
officers C Georgia were sctrongly in
favor Of his re-appointment. They
were preparing to get up a petition
calling for his retention when the
news Of General Evans appointment
was made known. That put an end
to all thoughts of opposition by the
friends of Scott.
BY the appointment, however, Mr.
Smith manages to secure control o.
the prison commission.
His new man, whoever it may be
will, of course, be a strong partisan
of the governor-elect, in accord witt
commission Consequently whatever
plans the new governor would wan
to put through would meet with littlt
| opposition it is believed
The general impression prevails tha
Mr. Smith has quite a few plans N
his sleeve from the standpoint of the
commission.

PROHIS and ANTS WILL
TANGLE in Big fight
StriCter Laws On WhiSkey
Selling Wanted

Atlanta, June 14.-Nothing ventured
nothing won, seems to be the slogan
of the prohibition element in Geor-
gia, for not content with the condition
in dry" Georgia, leaders are plan
ming battle royal to tighten the
screws on the ship of state, that not
a single drop of booze" will enter.
The leaders of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union, who recently
conducted a campaign in this city, and
the ministers here, are quietly gather
ing their forces for another fight in
legislative balls.
Two bills will be introduced in the
legislature, it is stated, both bearing
on this subject When the smoke has
cleared away the prohibitionists hops
that near beer, and real beer, and all
other kinds of intoxicants will
barred from the state.
They declare that they are forced
into this attitude by he work of the
brewers and other liquor interests who
are planning a local option campaign,
and that the only way to check this
properly will be to make the prese.
laws stricter still
The battle, so they say, viii be
fought to a finish, and if there should
come defeat this year, then the legis-
lators who opposed them will be mark
ed, and a fight made on them at tn
next election.
