lowing a dramatic scene in police court

% years OF age, IS Connally street, took
sides with Mrs. McIvet against his
mother when the latter charged the
woman with "enmeshing" her son and
also Turing her fourteen year-old
daughter into cheap theaters.
The remarkable action of the son
brought forth a scathing reprmand
from the court.
Your mother has thousand times
more sense than you have, and you
should take her advice and let this
woman alone" said the recorder to
young Pinkston.

Anyway, she's old enough to be your
mother" he added.
In admitting that she likes young
Pinkston very much" Mrs McIvet
frankly said that she had been intend

clared Mrs McIvet had been interfer-
ing with her son, calling him over the

tiers.
Young Pinkston denied that Mrs. Nc

Judge Broyles said the evidence was
not sufficient and dismissed the case Of

would give her the limit of the law if
she should be convicted in his court

Mr. Burgess said that he had de-
manded for the engineers ade-

not secured he would not allow
single engineer to go out until the
strike is settled.
I'VE never engage in sympathetic
strikes" said Mr. Burgess, "and If we
decide that it is best for none Of our
men to take trains out on the Georgia
road we will do so because it is not
safe.
The trouble at bearing at Union
Point and at other places is serious,
and do not propose to take too many
chances. Our men have contract with

Term of Three Years
For Death of Father
Trivial Quarrel Over Scratching
Chickens in Hart County
Led to Killing.

HARTWELL, GA, Oct. 5.-Robert
Gray was tried and convicted in Hart
superior court and sentenced to term
OF three years in the penitentiary for
killing his father on May %.
The tragedy was the result of a quar-
rel between father and son over
trivial matter. The elder GRAY was in
censed over the fact that some chickens
belonging to a tenant working for his
son had been scratching up his corn
which had just been planted. Taking
his shotgun he went to the field to kill
the fowls, when his son interfered. Hor
words and blows followed Picking up
the gun which his father had laid upon
the ground, the son fired, the entir
load taking effect in the hip, causin,.
the death Of his father in less than
"a hours.
Inc death-bed statement of the elder
Gray was no doubt the means OF saw
ing Robert from being convicted on a
charge OF murder in the first degree
lie stated that he believed his son had
no intention of pulling the trigger of
the gun, and that he was the victim
OF an accident. The fact, however, that
Robert did the shooting with his faith
ers own gun. which he picked UP from
the ground, was evidence enough to dis
prove the plea of accident and the jury
returned a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter

This Dr.. Smith denies. although he
adds he failed to state his objections
to the plan when ordered to do so by

Charges Rubbish,
Declares Smith.

This charge that the Battle Hill
santarium is blocking the work Of the
anti tuberculosis socitey is rubbish" is
the way Dr, Smith answered the
charges.
There is no question but that the
work Of the. society is handicapped by
the attitude of sanitarium manage
ment," is what Dr. Daily had to say.
That the management of the hospital
is not what ii should be. DR.. DAILY
maintained and ne said today that he
would back his assertions that the
management was bad, if called upon
to do so
In speaking of the management of
the hospital, Dr. Smith sale
"The hospital represents an expendi-
ture Of but $4,000 and it is doing as
much work as other institutions which
cost the city 100000. l will admit we
do not have room for many OF the pa
tents that apply for treatment, but 1
am certain as head Of the institution.
that the management is not bad"
The Battle Hill sanitarum, built
jointly by the city and county, is under
the management Of the council COM
mittee on hospitals and charities. of
which r. j. Spratling is chairman. DR..
Claude A. Smith. city bacteriologist;
