This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical jour-
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous milHonaire's
offer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warn
ing to others.
Every one who suffers with dys-
pepsia for few years will give ev-
erything he owns for a new stom-
ach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
! an abnormal state of the gastric
juices, or by lack of tone in the
walls of the stomach. The result
is that the stomach loses it's power
to digest food.

Farming at night is the innovation

A WOMAN is JAILER THERE
Is Custodian of Offenders Against
Law Ranging All the Way From
Misdemeanor to Murderer.


Misdemeanor to Murderer.
In a little white painted frame
house in East Greenwich, R. l., lives
Mrs. Evelyn Smith, Americas one
and only woman jailer
The custodian of offenders against
the law, ranging all the way from
the disorderly character picked up
at night to the murderer awaiting
trial by the high court, Mrs. Smith is
just completing her thirtieth year in
her present official capacity, and the
siXty-ffth year that the Office has re-
NAMED undisputed in her family.
Mrs. Smith believes in humanity
and humane treatment of prisoners.
They are all human beings" is
the way in which she expresses it.
Since the time, sixty-fve years ago,
when as a little girl she saw her
uncle and her husband conduct the
affairs of the tiny jail and, what is
more, has learned to read character
and has come to see the human side
of even the murderer confined behind
the walls and bars that adjoin her
own pleasant home.
Though the town of East Green
wich, the county seat of Kent coun-
ty, in which Mrs. Smiths jail is 10
Gated, has a population of about
5000, and saloons are numerous, il
has been constant surprise to Mrs
Smith that very large majority OF
her prisoners, whether arrested fo1
minor or major crimes, have come
from other sections of the country.

Preference to Clerkships.
Many Kansas women are turning
to agriculture and to a life out of
doors. Within the last two years a
score or more of young women have
schosen the farming vocation in pref
erence to teaching and clerkships in
stores and stenographic positions.
Some of them declare that much of
the work may be done by women
now that modern machinery has
lightened the burdens of the farmer.
| But the greatest benefits come, they
say, from the needed exercise and
the life in the open air.
One young girl of Is, after her
father had been disabled by serious
accident, took over the bossing of
the hired men and put in nearly 100
acres of wheat besides helping in
the work of gathering the corn from
field of 500 acres.

Street a Menace to
Persons and Property.

The street was left in almost an i'm
passable condition. recites the petition
A wagon can traverse it only with diff
Guilty and can not turn. There are great
holes, which are dangerous, and the
material has been piled in great heaps
upon the sidewalks. Teams can not
drive to the curb. Deliveries of gro
ceries, ice and other necessities are
greatly retarded. The street is a menace
to person and property.
The citizens of North Boulevard ac-
cepted the situation in silence for sew
eral months, but as the limit for its
completion approached and there was no
attempt made to even start the work,
Chey began to complain. A committee
was appointed to wait upon the city,
the street car company and the con-
tractor. A promise was extended by
the city and the contractor that the
work would be taken up in a few days
and pushed to completion
The contractor, Fl. ~ Nichols, was
easy and entirely Indifferent in his at
titude, recites the petition. He was
asked If the company was not under
bond to complete the street within five
months, and he replied that the bond
was no good and the city did not
enforce it's bonds gOybou-

City Doesn t eKep
Contractors to Terms.

The petitioners say the street can not
possibly be completed within the time
limit. 1t is evident that it will not be
finished this winter. They insist that
the past experience of the city in the
management of it's constructive work
fully justified the statement of the con-
tractor that his bond would not be en-
forced.
1T has been for the past ten or fif-
teen years almost the unbroken policy
of the city of Atlanta not to insist upon
the terms of its contracts being COM
piled with, either with reference to ma
terial completion within the stipulated
period Of time or the enforcement of
any bond for the faithful performance
of the work Scarcely any public work,
if any at all, within the past ten years
has been completed in the manner and
way and time contracted for. Many Of
the bonds taken are pure formalities,
and the bonds are not of sufficient
value to cause them to be kept. Sew
eral of the bonds have been lost by the
city, the sureties not notified, in COM

JUDGE FIFE CITED
ON CHARGE Of
CONTEMPT .


Judge Augustus W. Fte, of the Cher.

shortly after 3 o'clock.
The Cherokee il lge is summoned IN
appear before the urt of appeals SAT
urday to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt. The maxi
mum penalty that the court of appeaIz
may infiict, if the Judge is found to he
IN contempt, is a fine of $500 and ten
days imprisonment.
Inc differences between Judge Fita
and the court of appeals are not alto.
Sether new. The Cherokee magistrate
has been outspoken in his criticisms Of
the higher court, time and again.
Scores High Court.
Recently, however, the court OF an
peals reversed Judge Fite for the sec
ond time in a felony case from Gordon
county, and the appeals court Judge
handing down the reversal used lam
guage to which the Cherokee Judge took
violent exception.
Judge Ffte issued newspaper card
in which he severely criticised the
higher court, directly charging that its
reversal of his judgment in the Gordon
county case was the precipitating cause
OF recent race riot near Plainville. in
which several negroes were killed.
Immediately upon the publication Of
Judge Ffte's bitter card, the court Of
appeals decided to cite the judge for
contempt, because of it's publication
His Career Spectacular.
Judge Fite is one Of the best known
judges in the South, and has presided
over the Cherokee circuit for many
years. His career has been extremely
spectacular, as he has never hesitated
to take a hand in all sorts of contro-
VERSES, political or otherwise
Several years ago he ran for congress
in the Seventh district against Gordon
Lee, and he waged a campaign which
will not be forgotten soon In that vicin-
ity. He charged a conspiracy between
Lee and the former congressman, Judge
Maddox, now presiding over the Rome
circuit as Judge of the superior court,
and said that Maddox quit congress for
consideration from Lee, and in Lees
favor.
Lee defeated the Judge overwheIm-
ingly, but Fite never lost any of his
erstwhile pugnacity because of that.
He is known all over Georgia as one
of the most aggressive prohibition"
judges in the state. He makes eloquent
war on blind tigers" high and low,
charges the grand jury regularly
against card playing, particularly
among women, and views pool rooms
with spasmOdic alarm.
He never calls court to order that
something doesn't happen with more or
less of a bang.

and who could not stay there unless she
were subjected to humiliation of
character that moved Uncle Andy's"
heart powerfully, and so forth and so
on.
Now, the governor has, despite a
sometimes more or less austere de-
meanor. a heart that may be reached
instantly, if one proceed along the right
road-and Judge Calhoun is a reputed
postmaster at selecting the right road
generally.
So, by and by, the judge got his par
don for the woman, and left the execu-
tive presence feeling fine and conscious
of having performed a good deed.
He went to the sheriff in person. de-
livered to him the pardon. and asked
the sheriff, as a particular favor, to
hasten to the gang and have the woman
released
This the sheriff. being always glad of
an opportunity to accommodate his
honor, did-and in les than eight hours
the woman again was in the clutches
of the law for another offense!
The judge isn't going to the governor
any more In behalf of that woman
and if he did, the governor doubtless
wouldn't be at home!

Sheriff Shade Halves, of McDuffie,
who isn't sheriff at ALL of course, as
everybody who is anybody politically
in Georgia knows, came into Atlanta
today to look things over.

to get from his home in Thompson to

drifting, but he finally made 1t.
The Georgia railroad strike has
greatly Inconvenience Thomson. as
no other railroad runs that way, and
1t is long, rough and rugged journey
to get from there to somewhere else,
no matter which direction one be 60
ing.
Sheriff Halves has the reputation of
being the very best politician in his
neck of the woods, bar none He is
not what one would calls a gum shoe
manipulation but he is some manipu-
lator, nevertheless.
He is now an attache Of the prison
commission, and he keeps a line on
tLiilSo pOllllCdl-DuI not with any SIN
lister end in view. He is very fond of
his friends, and his friends are very
| fond of him.
This trip to Atlanta, the sheriff pub
! licly is boosting Thomson, and says he
has no other particular business in the
world.
Thomson has more automobiles than
any other town of it's size in the state, .

quaintances in the Kimball house lobby
