A Delightful Meeting

1t was the pleasure of the edit
or of the Gazette Times, in com
pany with Hon. T. j. Mahoney,
of the First National Bank, to
attend the regular monthly meet
ing Of the Congregation Mems
Club of Lexington, on Tuesday
evening. This Club has been in
existence for several months past,
being organized through the eff
forts of Rev. Otho G. Reade,
pastor of the Congregational
church at Lexington. At every
meeting it is planned before hand
to have some outside speaker pre-
sent to present to the Club
an address on some subject
of live interest, and Tuesday eve
ming, following an elegant ban
quet that had been prepared by
the wives of the Club members,
Mr.. Mahoney gave an able ad-
daess on the Relation of Banking
to the Business Man. In classi-
flying business men, the speaker
included the farmer and stock
raiser; he dwelt at some length
on the history of banking and
what it really is as an institution,
showing clearly what kind of
policy should be followed to place
the bank on a safe basis for hand
ling the funds Of its depositors.
Mr.. Mahoney also stressed diver
sified farming, dairying, poultry
raising and hog raising, and
plainly showed how important
this is for the future of our coun-
ty. His address was not lengthy
but it was full of good meat from
beginning to end and was receiv-
ed in a very appreciative manner
by those present. Following
Mr.. Mahoney, reading was Civ
en- by Mrs. Ella Craven Wheeler,
and short address on the loyal
ty of the towns of the county to
each other, by the editor of the
Gazette Times. After this ad-
drees, Mrs. Wheeler favored the
gathering with anumber of read
ings which were greatly enjoyed.
w. E. Leach, president of the
Club, presided, and the wives of
the members were present to
partake of the good things of the
evening along with their hus-
bands; this being out of the usu-
al order as the meetings hereto
fore have been attended, only by
the members. In this organiza-
ton, Lexington has taken a for
ward step; in fact she can be
said to be ahead of any of the
other towns Of the county along
this line. The members are en-
thusiastic, are getting hold of
live subjects, and the organiza-
ton is proving to be a booster for
the little city. The editor of this
paper was indeed glad to. be
guest at the gathering on Tues
day evening, and expresses the
hope that he may be able to at
tend many more similar meet
ings. To say nothing of the
good things that the ladies had
prepared for the inner man, the
Intellectual feast was itself a fea-
ture that was well worth going
many miles to hear and enjoy.

WOOD ALL
AROUND BUT
none To BURN
COUNTRY TURNS TO GOAL
Unable to Get Wood Cut and
Hauled For Fuel

The old adage, Carrying Goals d
Newcastle" is we'll applied here just
now in the fact that Americas coal
dealers are actually shipping coal in
small quantities to townspeople and
farmers in the smaller towns herea-
bout, who are accustomed to using
wood as fuel.
The supply of wood is still sutfi-
cient in the country districts, but
from labor scarcity or other causes
it is impossible to have it cut and
hauled into the towns, hence the nee
essity of burning coal in place Of
wood.
The coal is shipped in barrels and
sacks, and during such ferocious
weather as that of the past ten days
fills a long felt want
The wood problem is almost as bad
right here in Americas, as oftimes
the stocks in the wood yards are ex-
hausted and consumers are forced tC
use coal or gas for fuel and heating
purposes.

JUDGE SPEER'S DECISION
In FAVOR OF himself
Unique Procedure in Macon
Courts

Macon, Ca, January 12.-Acting as
judge and jury in a case in which he
was defendant, conducting his own
defense as a lawyer, and testifying in
his own behalf as a witness, Judge
Emory Speer today decided that he
was not disqualified to preside over
the c. S. Henry VS.. E. B. Harris liti-
cation, which involves the title to the
property at the corner of Third and
Cherry streets. He deliberately sum-
dered a decision striking from the
files of the United States court Of
this division the affidavits of c. S.
Henry and his attorneys, W. D. Nc
Neil and NJ FELTON, Hatchet, who
swear that they cannot get a fair and
impartial trial from him because they
believe he is biased and prejudiced.
These proceedings probably the
most unique in the annals of the local
courts, were attended by a representa-
tive contingent of the Macon bar and
more than a score of other interested
spectators.
Exceptions to every step of the
procedure were made by Attorneys
Mcneil and Hatcher, who declared
that Judge Speer was disqualified to
inquire into the case, and the official
stenographer was directed by the
court to note these objections An
appeal from the decree of the court
will be taken at once, carrying the
case to the Circuit Court of Appeals
of the United States court at New
Orleans.

AN UNEXPECTED REVENUE
FOR MILITARY COMPANY
From Recent Sale of Jury
Exemptions

Five hundred good dollars came
the way of the Americas Light In
fantry yesterday and from source
entirely unexpected, as the result Of
the decision of the attorney general
relative to military jury exemptions
and their use generally in the state,
instead of only in the county in which
such exemptions are issued
Under this ruling, military ex-
emption from jury service issued in
Americas is good anywhere in the
state. And it was in Columbus that
Captain Charles P. Davis, of the
eAmricus Light Infantry found rea-
dy market for all his extra exemp-
tons at $25 each, cash on delivery.
Twenty exemptions were sold in a
short time, one large wholesale gro>
Gerry concern taking eight, in order IL
protect all of it's employees.
AS a result of this special sale"
put ON by Captain Davis, the Amer
icus Light Infantry is just $500 bet
ter off. And the money is needed,
too.
Under the military exemption laws
each military organization is granted
so many jury exemptions, worth $25
each, the money arising from the sale
of them going to the support of the
military. A busy merchant, or other
business man holding one of these is
exempted from jury service during a
period of twelve months.
The Light Infantry is given thirty
of these jury exemptions, annually,
but only ten had been placed here
Evidently the supply in Columbus had
run short, hence the telegraphic or
der to Captain Davis for all that he
had to spare.
