JOE HILL HALL
ADDRESSED The
VOTERS HERE
AT RECESS OF The COURT
He Had Large and Attentive
Audience

Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb county,
candidate for governor of Georgia, was
in Americus yesterday and took ad-
vantage of his presence here to ad-
dress the voters of this section at the
noon recess of the court. He began
his speech in the courtroom soon after
L o'clock and spoke at some length
on the issues of the campaign as he
views them.
Mr.. Hall made it clear in his speech
that he has no interests back of him,
and no clique to support him. He is
running, he claims, on his own plat
iorm and with his own merits to sup
port the claims he makes. If he is
elected, according to his statements
yesterday there will be no one using
nm as a puppet, for he is to be gov
ernor and not fgure-head for de
signing politicians.
He appealed to the people of this
county and section to support him up
on the broad principles of better gov
ernment and government by the peo
IIe' and not by a coterie of politi
cIans. Mr.. Hall also took occasion t.
oeclare himself frankly concerning thu
matter of taxation, his remarks on thi'
SUBJECT being substantially the SAM
DIS nave recently been made known II
the daily press.
Mr., Hall was cordially received here
as there are many citizens who ar
friendly to his candidacy. He declar
ed that he is in the race to the EN-
ana IN the race to win. His speec
was edliverel in characteristic man
ner and was well received.

TROUBLE SOMETIMES
MEANS MORE TROUBLE

Savannah, June 11.-Not always dc
wives stick to husbands when the hus-
bands get into trouble. The law
sometimes allows them to plead this
very trouble as an excuse for di-
vorce.
Mrs. Lille May Davis, formerly Of
Charleston, S. c., where she married
asks divorce from her husband, Clar-
ence E. Davis. on the ground that he
was convicted February 10, 1909, on a
charge of forgery and was sentenced
to serve five years. Mrs. Davis has
been living in Savannah since her hus-
band was sentenced.

RAPID PROGRESS WAS MADE IN
TRIAL OF THE CH|LDERS CASE
Argument Will Begin This Morning. and Verdict Likely Be Reached Before NQ
Defense Has Opening and Closing Argument

Progress that was marked was
made in the conduct of the Childers
trial in the Sumter county superior
court yesterday The rapidity and
husiness-like manner In which the
case was conducted from the opening
of the court until it's close was most
pleasing to all concerned
The argument in the case will be-
gin as soon as the session of the court
resumes this morning, so that it is
hoped that the case will be concluded
today with a definite verdict. If the
manner in which the case has been
conducted so far is to be taken as an
indication, it would seem that there
is good reason to believe that it will
be concluded today.
The opening and concluding argu-
ments will be made by the defense, an
advantage which the lawyers for the
defense gained yesterday afternoon at
the conclusion of the introduction Of
the evidence by the prosecution,
when they placed the defendant upon
the stand to make his statement, then
waved the Introduction of any further
witnesses. This was a stragetic move
just in exact opposition to the con
duct of the case at the last trial.
The gaining of the opening and con-
cluding argument by the defense gives
them what is generally recognized as
decided advantage as regards tht
conduct of the case before the jury

the defense, and he will be followe,
by Solicitor General J. R. William'
and Attorney H. A. Wilkinson, for tht
prosecution, while Attorney Frank A
Hooper will have the concluding ar
gument for the defense.
The conduct of the case today in tn,
argument of the attorneys before tn
jury will present the most interest
ing features of any phase of the case
as it will show the summary of tn
arguments advanced by each side i
the consideration of the merits c
the case. And it will furnish, wit
the rendering of the verdict, the mos
dramatic side of the trial. These fea
lures will doubtless serve to brin

EAGLES IN SWITZERLAND.

The Swiss federal government has
decided to protect the few remaining
eagles left in the Alps. 1t seems that
there are only four nesting-places of
the eagle still known to exist in the
Alps, and watchers have been told
to guard over them, and to repay
the peasants in the valleys which
they haunt any damage they do.
The work has already been taken in
hand. Last year the eagles made off
with IA lambs, four kids, and one
cat, which were duly paid for. They
cost the government in this way 113
francs. In the valley of Oberiberg
the peasants have tried the expert
ment of putting scarlet collars round
the necks of the newly born lambs in
order to brighten the eagles. The
government is apparently willing to
provide the collars, and the expert
ment has been successful. But the
eagles must live on something, and
they will no doubt in time learn that
the collars are not so alarming after
all.

ELECTRICITY IN THE HOME
Writer Sees Culinary Millennium Fol.
lowing General Introduction for
Cooking Purposes.

For home use electricity is still
in most localities comparatively ex-
pensive, but it vii! be less so when
it comes into more general use. If
the electric companies would fol-
low the example of the gas COM
panies in renting cooking ranges, it
would be a great stride forward. In
England some of the companies
charge special low rate for electric
cooking, because it is done mostly
in the daytime, when there is little
demand for the current for lighting
purposes. But the most radical way
to reduce the cost will be to COM
bine the electric range with the fire.
less cooker.
Thousands of families that could
not pay for an electric current five
or six hours day could easily af-
ford one for the fifteen minutes nee
essary for heating the food before it
is put into the box, besides the few
minutes needed for crisping roasts,
browning coffee, or toasting bread.
1t is quite likely that the electric
range can be so constructed in part
that no separate cooking box will
be needed; and then the culinary

CREW OF COLUMBUS.

The list of the officers and sailors
in the first voyage of Columbus was
almost cosmopolitan in its character.
Among them there was a Jew, Luis
de Torres; an Englishman, Arthur
Laws; Italians, Portuguese, Span
iards and several other nationalities,
though, of course, the Spaniards
were largely in the majority. 1t is
maintained by some authorities, with
considerable plausibility, too, that
there was a Scotchman in the list,
and that after Columbus himself he
was the first man to tread the soil
of the new world.

PROTECTING THF HONOR OF THE
SENATE.

The senate committee on prlV1-
leges and elections in the Stephen
son case has made its report. The
majority report is in favor OF the
senator and the minority report,
signed by FIVE OF the fifteen men,
beers of the committee is in favor
of unseating him. 1t will be re-
membered that the senator admit
ted that he paid the bills of his
lieutenants who were instructed to
deliver the goods and which
amounted to $Io7,7o3. The ma
jority report is based upon about
the same grounds as it was in the
Lormier case, that is, that it has
not been shown that the senator
had personal knowledge that his
money was being used to finance
questionable practices, the majority
admitted that such expenditures
were in violation of the funda-
mental principles underlying our
system of government, which con-
templated the selection of candi-
dates by the electors and not the
selection of electors by the candi-
date" to which the minority reply:
I'VE concur in this statement
and it justifes us in opposing the
conclusion of the majority. How
a seat in the Senate can be secur-
ed in violation of the fl1ndament-
al principles underlying our sys-
tenn of government, with the evil
dence showing the use of such a
large sum of money. and not be
tainted by corrupt methods and
practices, we are unable to under
stand.
The question now squarely be-
fore the Senate is whether or not
methods and practices in violat-
ion of the fundamental principles
underlying our system of govern
ment' shall be denounced by our
words and approved by Our votes.
If he used methods-and the
majority says he did-that would
be difficult to justify in behalf of a
state candidate, then it is equally
difficult for the Senate to justify
such conduct on the part of a cam
didate for seat in this body and
preserve its integrity and honor.
To hold otherwise is to establish a
precedent that would authorize an
expenditure of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to debauch the
electorate in order to secure seat
IN this body. To do this is to no.
tify the world that we are careless
as to whether or not seats in this
body are to be bought and sold as
SO much merchandise to the man
with the largest purse"

Malne's Greatest Crop.

The total sale of the Aroostook po.
tato crop of 1911 is estimated at be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bush
els, leaving between 100000 and g.
100000 bushels that were sent to the
starch factories, used for seed and
food purposes here In the country

sold the average price was over 50 a

This means that Aroostook received
for the crop of potatoes which 1t
raised in 1911 between $1,65O 900
and $1,S00000 The exceptionally
