A burglar captured In a Mt. Holly
store admitted at the point of a re-
volver that he had robbed the place
five times within the month. Disre-
garding for the nonce the fact that this
man was engaged in an unlawful call
ing, the record is an excellent one.
Ordinarily 1t is impossible to find an
excuse for burglary, but 1t is a mis-
take to assume so proud and naughty
an attitude toward it as to overlook
lessons which it's humble but industrl-
GUS votaries often teach.
On the occasion of his irst visit to
the store in question this burglar was
moderately successful. Was he so
elated with his success that he decided
forthwith to rob a bank? He was not
and did not. Very properly he decided
to leave we'll enough alone and go to
the same store while the going con-
tinued good. AS a result he made four
successful trips and had he known
enough to stop then all might have
been well with him. All of which
teaches us we should cultivate a golden
mean In all things.

WOOD PAVING BLOCKS
WILL Be INSPECTED
Pratt Laboratory Engaged For
That Purpose

In order to safeguard the interests
of the city in the matter of securing
wood block paving of the first quality
and also that which has been proper
ly creosOted and prepared, the city has
secured the services of the Pratt Lab
oratory in Atlanta to give a rigid IN
spection to all the blocks after they
have been pronounced ready for use
by the paving company.
The reputation of the Pratt Labor
atOry as chemists of ability and lnteg-
rity is such as to insure every pre-
caution that can be taken to secure for
the streets of Americus only that kind
of paving material that is thoroughly
suited for use in this capacity. DIM
culties that have been met with else
where, it is confidently expected, VIII
be avoided here by using this wise
measure of precaution.
1t has been suggested that stilI
further precaution should be taken I2-
cally by the city officials who are re-
sponsible for the proper supervision
of the paving work. The examination
of occasional blocks by means "l
splitting them in order to see that tht
creosote has penetrated them sumo
iently we'll, is among the suggestions
that have been made, while other meth'
DDS of examination have been men
toned.
The fact that the paving firm mas

manufacture of creosoted wood DlocK'
makes the delivery of these blocks mere
much more prompt and effective Il
unnecessary handling is eliminated
The blocks will be prepared IN Al

Americus' loafing element, whites

Americus has a recorders court
now, and one of the blessings confer

Mathis to impose chaingang sentences

Hawkinsville, Ga, Sept. Judge j
H. Martin, it is thought, dealt death
blow to blind tigers in Pulaski county
yesterday afternoon when he prOnounC

selling liquor. All of the men plead
guilty except one, who was tried and
convicted.
-Four were sentenced to serve six
months in Jail and twelve months OF
the chaingang.
They We're allowed the privilege OF
being relieved of the Jail sentence by
the payment of a fine of $1O0, but We're
denied that right the chaingang SEN
tenCe. Another white man who plead
guilty of the same offense was
granted freedom upon the payment OF
fine OF 5000.
Much interest was manifested in
these cases on account of the stand
ing of the men, some of whom are
connected with prominent and infiu-
ential families, and la-ge crowd OF
spectators gathered nthe court room
to hear the sentence passed.
Judge Martin before sentencing the
accused, read them a very strong lee

AT LAST STANDARD OIL
Is DOWN AND OFT.
At Least, as Far as Its Present Farm,

New York, Sept. 1.-The Standard

After today this famous corporation
VIII cease officially to carry on its
operations as the head of a vast or
ganization whose activities extend into
almost every part of the world. In
obedience to the decree of dissolution
Of the supreme court it is to reIin-
Quish its control of the subsidiary con-
Germs, and today was the date set for
the end of the old regime.
Standard Oil stock was traded in to-
day at about $625 per share.
The New Jersey company, in addi-
ton to acting as the holding corpora
ton, conducts large oil business and
mas extensive property holdings. The
company, however, has never made a
public report and no opportunity has
been afforded for gauging the value
OF its business and of its tangible as
sets.
An official of the company said to-
day the only element of doubt as to
the general effect of reorganization
upon the present stockholders lay n
the ability of the constituent COM
pan1es, operating independently to pro-
duce as large a total of profits rs

AEROPLANE SLEEVES
THE LATEST FAD
Jackets This Year Cut TO Suit
WeaFeF

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE aeroplane sleeve,
better known as the gauntlet sleeve,
is the latest Partisan conceit in the
way of womans clothes.
This contriyance, as your cores
pondent, ascertained on making the
rounds of the leading makers of modes
has an arm hole extending from the
waist line to the shoulder gradually
narrowing at an acute angle to
wrist of ordinary circumference. It
gives the wearer something of the ap-
pearance of a prehistoric winged
creature, especially in the bottle green
and sulphurlino or yellow shades,
which are making the highest bids for
popularity.
THE most significant thing this
season" said M. Louis, head of lead
ing model house, ''is that all the chief
firms are making jackets of three
lengths, to be determined by the fig
ure of the wearer. Thus, a short,
dumpy woman should not wear a short
jacket, and a tall, thin woman should
not wear a long, thin jacket. This
years styles permit any length from
just below the hips to just below the
| knees"
