on the train when mule and wagon
appeared in the road ahead. Mr..

avoid collision with the wagon, but
the mule baked. There was no other
alternative but to run the automobile
into the bank at the side OF the road
The machine W as very badly smashed
up. Mr. Smith and Mr.. Nichols were

JUDGE ATKINSON'S FISH POND
WAS DRY WHEN HIS FISH CAME
Popular Jurist of the Supreme Court Waited
Two Years and then Cut the Dam
Week Before Dream Arrived

Judge Atkinson expects to have
some Dream on his table-some time
but they will not come from his own
fish-pond this year.
The judge is born sportsman. He
likes to hunt and he likes to fish;
likes nature and has one of the contest
and most delightful homes in the
county, at the crest of the hill coming
up from the river and with a view
across the broad valley of the Chatta-
hoochee to the white skyscrapers of
Atlanta. Under the shade of the big
oaks in his yard he is refreshed from
the tolls of the Supreme Court.
The judge built a fish-pond, and
about two years ago filed an applica-
ton for setting of fish eggs. or rath-
er asked Uncle Sam to send him some
baby Dream with which to stock his
pond. In few days he received a re-
ply that his application had been filed
and that he would receive his fish in a
year and half. That did not mean
fish for breakfast right away, but the
judge waited with that gentle pa
tience which adorns him like the
ermine gown which he wears with
such grace-fguratively speaking
The year and a half passed, and in

FINE BEEF CATTLE SOLD
BY Mr.. ]. 7. ANDERSON

On Wednesday morning procession
OF 81 fine, glossy red Hereford steers
started from Mr.. ]. 7. Anderson
farm near Powder Springs for Atlanta.
Their destination was the White Pro-
vision Co, and they will be trans
formed into beef without delay.
Mr.. Anderson brought this "bunch
of cattle" from Texas two years ago,
when they were young calves. Now
they are big and fat and will make the
finest kind of beef.
Mr.. Anderson is raising the red
Herefords for beef, and has sold his
herd of Jerseys. There is only one
young Jersey on the farm now. A few
native Georgia COWS will be used for
breeding with the Herefords.

stead of the fish came a notice a week
or two ago that Uncle Sam was "just
out''-would have some more fish next
year. Then the Judge went out and
cut the dam, and just as the last of
the fish-pond passed out of sight came
a notice to go up to Smyrna Thursday
and meet his fish. 1t was a case of
fish-pond and no fish, and then of fish
and no fish-pond.
Judge Atkinson telephoned up to
Cap" Joyner and arranged to place
the fish in the lake at Fair Oaks the
noted hospitality of that beautiful
home place being readily extended to
the little wanderers from Washington.
The judge went to Smyrna at the
time named and received a can con-
tanning hundred Dream about as long
as a mans finger. He escorted them
to Fair Oaks, saw them safely depos-
tied in the lake and then took the car
back to Atlanta, assembled the bench
to listen to the lawyers with endless
tongues" and maybe to think of the
time when he will go down in South
Georgia and make up for the mean
trick the government played on him,
that made him cut the dam just at
the wrong time.

GLOBE TROTTERS PASS
THROUGH THE CITY

ing for Their Health.
Horse and Cart.

Thursday morning a queer looking
craft rolled into Marietta and stopped
in front of the store of Mr.. E. G. Gil
bert.

and was accompanied by~a man a
woman and dog. The body of the
cart, which was large box-shaped
affair, was covered all over with cards
and advertisements representing, it
seemed, every town in the country.
The man was dressed in a khaki suit
similar to the uniform of a soldier.
and the woman wore a short dress of
the same material. They had a dusty
appearance, as though they had seen
considerable of the old red hills.
Their faces were well Drowned by the
sun, but they were clean. and the
couple were not at all in the hobo
class.
A large crowd gathered about the
cart and listened to what they had to
say. The woman, of course, did most
OF the talking. She said they were
not walking on a wager, that all such
walks We're fakes, and that there was
no real walker except Weston.
The couple We're Mr.. and Mrs. D. H.
Woolf, of Kansas City. They started
in June, 1909, on account of Mr..
Woolf's health, and they make their
living selling post cards and a song he
has written entitled Take a Walk"
Mr.. Woolf is violinist, but owing
to Ill health he was advised by his
physicians to live in the open. He
left Kansas City, accompanied by his
wife, in June of 1909, and took a walk
of $50 miles to the heart of the Ozark
mountains, their baggage being car
ried on pack horse
Selling their horse. they purchased
boat and made journey down the
White river across the State of Ar
kansas. Once, on the trip, they were
arrested for fishing without license
and fined $50, but the fine was re.
mitted.
They make from twenty to twenty.
five miles a day Last summer the
couple MADE 2,OOO-mile trip from
Kansas City to New York. They have
been since October Is coming from
Kansas City via other Western towns.
The New York trip was made from
May to August Is. There they were
met by the mayor and a throng at the
city hall and were also accompanied
by large crowd down Broadway.
The couple left Marietta after
stay of about two hours, and proceed
ed toward Atlanta, camping a few
miles from that city. They drove into
Atlanta Friday morning, and all the
papers printed pictures of Mr.. and
Mrs. Woolf and their outfit. From
Atlanta they struck out up The Jour.
nal and Herald highway for New
York. They will go as far as the
Canadian border and then turn back
toward Kansas City.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Thursday-Lewis & Roberts VS.. The
Charles A. Sims Company, a suit for
damages to the Bloomsbury farm near
Hatre de Grace. caused by blasting for
the B. & o. R. r. S change of line sorhe
years ago, postponed from the December
term, had been set for trial. Counsel for
defendant presented copy of an order
issued by Judge Rose of the U. S. Dis
triet Court in Baltimore. obtained by
counsel for the Receiver for the defandant
Company, which has gone into bank
ruptcy, staying the prosecution of any
suit against the Sims Company pending
the appointment of trustee for the con-
cern. After argument, the Court held
that Judge Roses order controlled the
parties to the suit. which was continued
till the September term. Court was then
adjourned until 10 a. m. on Monday.
Judge P.arce. after discharging the
members of the Petit Jury on Thursday
until Monday, took occasion, as Judge
Adkins had done earlier in the week. to
refer to what he termed a marked abuse,
evident not only to the Bench and Bar
but to regular attendants upon the Courts
sessions-the failure to proceed with cases
when assigned for trial, which wasted the
time of attorneys and judges as we'll as Of
litigants in other Courts of the Circuit and
the money of the taxpayers. Jurors were
kept idle without even the diversion of
listening to trials in progress. This week
not a thing in the way of dispatching
cases has been effected. The Court could
not recall the loss of a day In other Confts
of the Circuit from like cause and would
have to frame an effective rule to bring
about better state of affairs. Mr.. War
burton having suggested that clients were
perhaps more responsible than counsel
for the delays in assigned cases, Judge
Pearce said the Courts criticism applied
to all concerned in such delays.
On Monday the case of State VS.. Spencer
James, colored, charged with breaking
into VIM. B. Walton's store at Iron Hill.
on the night of August IS last, stealing a
wagon load of goods therefrom, and also
receiving the same goods as stolen was
called. James was found guilty at the
September term of Court but granted a
new trial. He was tried second time at
the December term, BUT the Judges dis
agreed as to his guilt. The case was
given to the jury on Tuesday and James
found guilty of burglary and larceny.
Sentence was deferred.
Samuel Wilson, colored. charged with
stealing gold watch from Wallace Will
liams. eldest son of Frank E. Williams,
editor of the Cecil Whig, pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to eighteen months in
the House of Correction.
The suit Of DR.. E. N. Crawford VS.. w.
G. Jones, al action of trespass was put on
trial Wednesday, all jurors and witnesses
not connected with the case being dis
charged until Thursday morning.

Hungarian Quail.

The Cecil County Game Protective As
sociation has secured 81 pairs of
Hungarian quail for distribution through
our the county. Sixty pairs were shipped
to Elkton and "a pairs to ]. P. Brown and
H. Poist at Colora. These "a pairs
have been liberated in various parts of
the Sixth and Seventh districts. The
Hungarian quail is said to be the coming
game bird, as their introduction in the
northern and western states has proven a
success. Their size and strength,
together with their speed and adartability
to cold make them an ideal game bird for
this section. As the Association has been
at considerable expense in procuring this
shipment, it is hoped that the citizens of
Cecil county will give every protection
possible to these birds and make their
introduction beneficial TO the replenishing
of the sadly depleted game birds in this
section.
