hoping that way may be found to
work such revision as may be deemed
necessary and yet diDlurb not at all the

GENTLY designated by name.
1t is rather a significant circum-
stance in connection with the govern
ors remarks on the subject Of the pro-
posed change in the text Of the King
James Bible that he is the possessor
of one Of the few original copies of that
book eXtant.
The governor owns copy, printed
directly from the original type, that
actually belonged to the king himself,
and is decorated accordingly with the
English royal coat-of-arms. Attached
to the inside cover of the book is a
certificate of its genuineness.
This Bible was presented to TIE gov
ernor by his brother, the late Julius
L. Brown, as token Of his love and
abiding affection. Between the gov
ernor and his brother julius a most
tender and loyal attachment existed.
julius L. Brown was a famous book
collector-one Of the most famous in
the nation His library was filed to
overlooking with the quaint, the rare
and the beautiful in books. 1t was, in
deed a token of genuine love and
affection, when he parted with one of
the most priceless books in his posses
sion-the King James BibIe-even TO
one so near and so dear as Brother
joe"
However, ne did give the book to the
governor-and there is nothing in the
governors possession he values more.
The book, though somewhat faded
with age and printed more or less
queerly, as things go nowadays. still is
in a most excellent state Of preserva-
ton. The governor keeps this partic-
ular book in his private office at the
capitol, and frequently, when wishing
to use a Biblical quotation, refers d.
rectly to it, rather than to the more
modern and less ornate edition near by.

place them On the capitol lawn, unless
the legislature agrees; and the legisla-
ture viii not be in session for a good
many months TO come. The state au-
thorities, on the other hand. can not
accept the cannon, for the act of con-
gress specifically gives them to "the
city Of Atlanta
JUS, exactly how the tangle is to
be Strengthened out nobody at present
knows but both city and state authori-
ties are anxious to find a way whereby
the governments gracious gift may be
accepted, and at the same time not get
either the city or the state into legal
snarl.
Governor Lee Luce, of oklahoma. has
written to the executive department
of the state Of Georgia inquiring what
If any, authority the governor has in
the matter of suspending or discharg
ing sheIiffs and constables found dere-
lict in their duty.
Governor Luce has been answered
that the governor of Georgia has nc
authority whatever in the direction in
dicated.
A Georgia sheriff can not be removed
from office otherwise than by trial by
jury.
No matter what a sheriff may do, and
no matter what charge may be brought
against him. the law vouchsafes him a
trial by jury before he may be removed
or suspended from Office. A solicitor
general, like a judge, may be impeached
but a sheriff can be disciplined in one
way, and one way only.
Captain Goodloe Yancey, of the Geor-
gia prison commission, somewhat ex-
citedly remarked in the capitol today
that somebody had rendered Bob"
Gardener, of the same office, a couple
Of free tickets to something or other,
and that Bob" had turned them down.
The unlikely story was referred to
Commissioners Patterson and Dawson,
who. happened to be present, and both
expressed grave doubts as to the ac-
curacy OF the allegation.
AS Commissioner Williams was alb
sent, however, the commissions unani-
nous incredulity could not be recorded
as an absolutely certain thing.

MACON SLEUTHS REGULAR
FINGER-PRINT SHERLOCkS

MACON, GA. Nov. 23.-Macon police
have worked out a real Sherlock
Holmes case, arresting negro who
burglarized the office of local lumber
company with only the blood finger
prints on a dusty desk as clew. The
finger prints indicated that a mans
right hand had been cut, and as the
window was smashed in order to effect
an entrance it was guessed that the
burglar wounded himself in that way.
After three days Of watching, the po-
lice arrested negro who had three cuts
on his right hand. Witnesses were
found who swear that they saw the ne
gro near the plant on the night of the
robbery. He was formerly employed at
the place, and was familiar with the
premises. He has been bound over to
the superior court for trial.

idea is winning a large measure of fav-

The Savannah News, commenting
upon the suggestion, gave it a meas
ure of Endorsement several days ago,
and now The Augusta Chronicle thinks
it might be a safe and sane way to set
tie the postmastership controversies in
congressional districts of Democratic
persuasion.
1t never was intended of course, tha'
the postmastership primary idea
should prevail in districts having Re
publican congressman. for, of course
the postmasters appointed throughout
the nation under a Democratic admin
istration will be Democrats.
Here in Georgia. however the post
mastership primary would serve d fine
purpose-it would enable a congress
man to solve the puzzle of postoffice
patronage fairly and without favor in
his district.

out thousands of deciduous fruit trees

These lots are at present barren in

ing of the fruit trees the appearance
of the lot will be very much improved
Not only that, but 1t is figured that II
will be more attractive to the buyer,
and the results to buyer and company
alike will be much greater
1t is the plan of the company to set
the trees out and to have a competent
horticuIturist to care for them while
they are adapting themselves to the
soil in which they are planted. From
ten to twelve or more fruit trees will
be planted on each lot.

EeeLEss FOODS.

When eggs are forty and fifty cents
a dozen one feels inclined to look for
dishes that call for few or no eggs.
Here are few for those of us who
must economize:
Oatmeal cookIes.-A cup Of fine oat-
meal (this may be made finer by put
ting 1t through the meat grinder), a
cup Of flour, half cup of lard or but
ter and lard mixed, half cup of milk,
two-thirds of cup of sugar and a
fourth of teaspoonful of soda, dis
solved In milk. A little grated lemon
or orange peel and nutmeg, with flour
enough to roll thin.
Apple Sauce Cake.-A half CUP of
shortening, cup of sugar, d cup Of
sifted apple sauce, teaspoonftil Of
soda, one and three-fourths cups Of
-four, and spice to taste. Add raisins
or currants If desired, and bake in
small cakes or In loaf.
Hot Water GIneerbread.-Dissolve
in a cup of boiling water two tea
spoonfuls Of soda; add cup of mo-
lasses, a quarter of cup of melted
shortening, and cinnamon. ginger,
Glove and nutmeg to. taste. Use -four
enough for soft batter and bake In
small patty tins. These are delicious
with apple sauce and cottage cheese
for luncheon or dessert.
Feather Muffins.-Take a cup Of
milk, a tablespoonful of melted lard
or butter, half teaspoon of salt, Ia
bles poonful of sugar and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder. Mix to-
gether with -four enough to make a
batter as stiff as an ordinary cake
batter. Bake in muffin rings.

Busiest Hen in the country,

While 1t is not possible to state the
exact average production of eggs per
hen in one year it is conservatively
estimated in the United States to be
about seventy. By improved methods
of breeding, feeding and selection
birds have been found with actual in.
dividual records of 200 to 257 eggs a
year
Only one hen has been found at Cor
nell that laid as high as 257 eggs in a
year, but this one example of the de-
gree Of perfection to which the breed
ers' art has attained is valuable for
the pace 1t sets for others to follow
and surpass. The net profit obtained
from the sale of these 257 eggs
amounted to $5.06.-Christian Herald.
