much waste paper. Hewett could
either take his discovery to Pleat
himself or send it in or withhold

his simple duty. He sent his re-

calling attention briefly to the
discovery, and went home.
He had hardly reached his of

telephone rang. Hewett took
down the receiver. Pleat was at
the other end.

would you be so kind as to step

tones were -suave and bland-too
suave for one of P1eat's overbear-

thought. Hewett stood consider

But, Mr.. Hewett, pardon my
question, but how do you propose
to pay this sum? The indemnity

full at the smiling visage of the

LAWYERS AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP

The following is from the Augusta
Herald and it contains a world Of
wholesome facts:
The agitation in Georgia and else
where for reform in legal procedure
Is bringing up the discussion of
whether it is so much a reform in
the criminal laws that is needed as a
reform ii the lawyers that practice
them.
1t is pointed out that lawyers are
sworn to support the laws and yet in
the courthouse, when the exigency of
their client demands it, they bend
every energy to defeat the plain pur-
pose of the law.
They may be good citizens an
upholders of the law outside of the
courthouse. but they often break and
bend and distort and try to defeat
the law in the courthouse to free their
clients.
President Taft has declared that one
Of the reasons why criminal laws 50
often fail to accomplish their pur-
pose is because of the light regard SO
many lawyers have for their obEga-
lions as citizens"
The Herald might also have sug-
gested the wisdom of retarding the
movement of putting lawyers too
largely in the lawmakng bodies OF
the country.

SECRETARY HARRELL is oPTl-
MYSTIC.

Secretary Harrell of the Georgia &
Florida Sawmill association is out in
a very gratifying statement as to the
outlook for 1912 of the great lumber
and sawmill industry This interview,
which appeared in number of the
largest newspapers of the country is
of special interest in this city as it
touches vital commerce of the port
of Brunswick;
Being closely in touch with all
manufacturers in the states of Geor-
gia and Florida, Mr.. Harrell is per-
haps better fitted to review general
condition than any other person OF
these states. His discussion of the
lumber business is in line with the
monthly reports rendered at the meet
ings of the Georgia-Florida associa-
ton, but represents a condensed and
conclusive knowledge of the trade as
gathered at his Office.
I am afraid that if ] say that we
are having good reports, such as were
started last June, it will be thought
that | have only learned the Opt
mist's side of the lumber trade, but
knowing conditions as do, / can only
be cheerful, and can give only cheer
ful opinions. Since last June pr.ces
and demand for lumber have been
better than in several years, and all
mills have been running with orders
weeks ahead of the saw. Naturally
prices have been advanced with the
incr sased call for material, and mill
men have taken on renewed life by
reason of the chance to get profit
from their plants.
insufficient labor has been the
greatest of the mill mems troubles
There is hardly a plant in the state
with the possible exception OF those
near the larger cities. that has been
able to get sufficient help. The minis
in ehe country have been forced to
work part time, and often the ma
chinery would stop at many of these
plants while the mill hands were en-
ployed loading cars. Had it not been
for the steady demand that still pre-
wallis, mill men would have had good
cause to worry much more than they
have done.
So far there seems to be but
little hopes of improvements in labor
conditions. No sooner are the labor
ers through with the cotton picking
than the fruit and vegetable season
OF Florida opens, and this state es-
pecially will perhaps see no increase
in available mill hands for some time
to come.
The farmers and fruit growers
have the advantage of the mill men
by reason Of their ability to adopt a
piecework system with their common
labor Naturally this appeals to a

A Cure for Stammering

q am very anxious to know if you or any of your readers know of cure for stammering. Any information given will be gratefully received.
 ''ELIZABETH J." Prescriptions for physical infirmities are not given in the Corner. I venture, never theless. to tell the sufferer of that which l have seen practiced with encouraging success by more than one stammerer. Before beginning sentence, take in a slow, long, deep breath and exhale it very deliberately as you speak. Do not hurry articulation or breathing. Round every syllable with care and precision, and if you begin to stammer let go the word, take another deep, long breath and begin again
 Above all, do not let yourself become nervous or excited. You have all the time there isl" Use it to advantage.
 Practice reading aloud when you are alone, applying the rules l have indi- cated, to the enunciation of every word. You can break yourself of the fault if you will resolve to do it at any cost of time and patience.
 Believe this and take yourself resolute- ly in hand

tsion Government, I had the pleasure of going on a sight seeing trip around the city. l was shown many improve
 ments that were being made and among other things l saw lot which had taken the Prize for the-best beautified lot in the city. It was a vacant lot
 and the owner of the property next to it had asked for permission to be allowed to use that vacant lot and en- ter the contest for the prize. Many
 other vacant lots had been beautified in the same manner, while others of course were adorned by handsome res idences. But the spirit of beautifica- tion was answered there in that way. I've been thinking that it would be good plan for our people to adopt such measures and to again revive the idea
 that was so popular during former
 Mayor Wards administration, and form associations or societies and offer prizes
 for the best kept and the most beau tiful lots in Birmingham
 "The property owners themselves" continued MT. Weatherly, could make la revolution in this line. The city would gladly render any service it
 could in any way by having MT. Will Hams and the Street Commissioner and any other officers whose services might be needed, to cooperate with them in the work, I also recomme nded that the same policy be extended toward Park Improvement. We are more than willing to assist any local association i in this vicinity, just as we did in the matter of Rhodes Park and Caldwell Park and other points of interest in and around Birmingham. We have made similar improvements at Ensley, Wood lawn, North Haven, and I've recently written to Professor Brown of the LaSeview school asking him to form an Improvement Association to beau tify the Park at Lakeview. We will furnish the Engineer and have it grad ed and do our part in every way pos- sible. The City Beautiful idea is an important subject, and one which mer- its the consideration of every loyal cit
 izen in this community"
