ENGLISH OF SUPREME COURT
Justices Of Highest Tribunal Often
Use Unsrammatical Language
on the Bench.

There Is delicious reminder OF
boyhood grammatical breaks in the
questioning by the honored justices OF
the supreme court" remarked William
r. Maddox. of Boston. at the Willard.
During my frequent trips to Wash
ington | have visited the supreme
court. often listening TO arguments and
the questions put to lawyers by the
grave and solemn members OF the
court. With so much formality and
dignity surrounding the famous tribun-
al. | have wondered a little at the
breaking OF the rules Of syntax by the
Justices. who know better and would
never dream OF incorporating their
ofthand remarks in a written decision.
II is not unusual to hear Justice
use the expression he don't. and 'they
int Is quite as often Used without
Earring on the nerves OF the attend
irg lawyers. and without causing the
fellow justices to smile. The justices
know better. and the, also know that
there are more serious infractions OF
grammatical laws in the nearby house
OF representatives every day OF the
session
II heard one big lawyer. who had
noticed the grammatical breaks. one
day remark that the lapsus linguas
ray be consequently thought atavtstic
Now. Just what this lawyer meant By
this sentence cannot explain. and
I would prefer the good old-fashioneA-
coiloouiai methods OF the justices.

LET THE EARTH GO BY.
Scheme to Travel From America to
Europe in a Few Hours.

Scheme to Travel From America to
Europe in a Few Hours.
In a lecture delivered before the
Royal Institution in London Prof.
Willis L. Moore, the chief of the Unit
ed States weather bureau, limited
that it would not be long before
Americans desiring to go to Europe
would be taken up in aerial passen-
ger craft and held in the air while
the earth revolved until it brought
their desired destination beneath
them. Prof Moore said that ''the
placing of passengers in aluminium
cases, carrying them upward on aero
planes to the eastward drift above
the storm stratum and shooting them
from America over to Europe be-
tween breakfast and afternoon tea is
not so wonderful a performance as
the sending of an aeroplane across
the English Channel, the transmit
ting of the human voice over metal
lie circuit or the reproduction of
words that were uttered by lips since
closed in death"
AS the eastward drift is always
eastward there would be no return
tickets on Prof Moore's aerial line.
However, that could be overcome by
having the returning American make
the complete circuit of the globe
when he wanted to come home. AS
the earth would make a complete
revolution under him in "a hours
the journey could be made in consid-
erably less than the present schedule.

Dandruff and Itching Scalp Yield to
ZemO Treatment.

Why should you continue to ex-
pertinent with salves, greasy lotions
and fancy hair dressings trying to
rid your scalp Of germ life. They
can't do it because they cannot pene-
trate to the seat of the trouble and
draw the germ life to the surface of
the scalp and destroy 1t.
Why not try PROVEN RENE
DY-one that will do this? We have
a remedy that will rid the scalp Of
germ life and in this way will cure
DANDRUFF AND ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, re-
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and drives the germ life to the sur
face and destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO (antisep-
tic) SOAP and one application of
ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp of
dandruff and scurf. Do not hest
tate, but get a bottle of ZEMO today.
1t acts on a new principle, and will
do exactly what we claim for it.

A ..SHOO FLY" TO RUN FKOM
EUFAUIAA TO SMITHNILLb
is URGED.

ShelIman Paper Says 1t Would BE OF
Great Benefit to Patrons OF This
Division of Central Railroad. Asks
That Petitions Be Circulated.
The current issue of the Shenman
Sun says. 1t is a matter that should
be of interest to the people OF DaW-
son, and we would like to see them
get behind it:
Esalizing that this paper repre-
sents a goodly number OF those peo-
pie living on that division or the
Central OF Georgia Railway between
SmithVille and points in Alabama we
feel impelled to call attention to tne
fact that this division of the Central
railway il being disseminated
against in it's passenger schedules
between this part of the road ana
Macon. Albany and Columbus.
PASSENGERS can leave Albany at
500 a. m. and arrive at Amricus at
GAO a. M, Columbus at 1885 a. m,
and at Macon at 9:35 a. M, OF course
being able to stop at ali other points
between Albany and Macon or AL
bany and Columbus, and depart from
Macon at 1890 p. m. and Colum-
bus at $3.50 p. M, and reach Albany
at 900 p. M, thereby having an OPP
portunity of leaving Albany in the
morning, spend good portion OF the
day at any intermediate point or Ma
con or Columbus, and return to AL
bany the same evening.
Should the Central put on shoe
fly train between Eufaula and Smith
Vile that would leave Eufaula in
time to connect at Smithville with
the train leaving Smithville at CLIO
a. m. (Which is the train leaving
Albany at $3.50 a. NJ, and leave
Smithville upon the arrival OF the
train from Macon at a. m, 1T would
give this division of the road service
that we are very much in need of,
and enable us to reach points beyond
Albany as well as north of Smithyllle
and return the same day.
We believe that such a train would
be a paying train for the road and
would enable those who travel this
division to cover their territory in +
half the time that it now requires. |
Besides being a great convenience to
those living on this division of the
road it would be a great help to the
travelling statesmen who cover this
territory.
We would suggest that the news
papers at Dawson, Cuthbert and Eu-
faula get behind the movement for a
shoe fly as above suggested, circulate
a petition, get as many names to it
as possible and present the petition
to the railroad authorities asking
them for this train. No doubt that
when the attention of the officials of
the railroad is called to the need of
such a train they will give it to us.
Albany, Americas, Macon and CO.
lumbus should come to our aid in Sc
curing these trains. as they are
wholesale centers and would be ben
Gifted as much as those people living
on this division.
The authorities at all other points
along the line between Smithyille
and Eufaula should get up one Of
these petitions. If the heretofore
named towns will get petition and
circulate the same and forward it to
the Shellman Sun we will take pleas
ure in seeing that it is presented to
the proper officials of the railroad,
and we believe the result will be the
"shoo f1y"
