Attorneys Had A Little Tilt

A little tilt between attorneys
in a case before the court caused
diversion in the court room. At
the request o f Judge Walter
George the offending attorneys
apolgized to the court and to
each other after which the Judge
INDUCED in a lecture to the Bar
in general on the Importance of
their conduct towards clients,
witnesses, jurors and the court
Being officers of the court, said
the Judge, it became incumbent
upon the members of the bar to
so conduct themselves that the
general public may have the re-
pect for and confidence in the
court, SO necessary to the proper
discharge of the obligations rest
ing upon the Judge and those
charged with the administration
Of the Law.

Judge Thomas Declares
A MiStrial
Tom Burnham remanded
to Jail without Bail.

The jury in the case of Tom
Burnham indicted about t W Q
years ago for the murder of
Claude Hyde, at Bowen's Mill
was discharged after failing to
arrive at a verdict. Judge Thorn
as, in discharging them severely
arranged the state of the public
mind, that holds human life so
cheap.
More murders are committed
in Georgia in year among a
population of q million than in
all England with its As millions
of people. The laxity of the Of
ficers charged with the enforce
ment of the law, stated the
Judge, was one of the main reas-
ons for this state Of affairs. He
emphasized his respects TO the
juror whose persistency upheld
the majesty of the law. In dis
charging the jury from the case
Judge Thomas remanded Burn
ham to the custody of the sher-
if to be held without bail until
the next term of the Superior
court of Ben Hill County.
Burnham has been out on bond
for the past 2 years but will now
have to remain in Jail until the
April term of court, unless re-
leased under habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.

"The Rosary"

A new play to be produced
in this city a t h e Grand
Opera House next Thursday is
..'The Rosary from the pen OF
Edward E. Rose and produced
by the well known theatrical
managers, Messers. d. c. Row

The play deals with conditions
in the American home today. 10
prove this a typical American
family is shown. A young wife.
a devoted husband, their friends
and all the beautiful surround
ings that wealth can secure.
Discord enters their home, no
one knows whence it came, but
. it grows into suspicion and doubt;
} the household is rent and happi-
ness is gone. Then rises the
other power, a higher spiritual
note which brings the discordant
souls of the family back to peace
and happiness.
In some homes the cause has
only just begun; in others misery
and sorrow are always at the
door.

Chairman Waldron Tells of the
Work of Colored Democrats.

The National Independent Political
League, composed mostly of colored men.
is taking an active part in the campaign
for the election of Wilson and Marshall,
the democratic candidates for President
and Vice President, according to state
ment given out today by J. Milton Wald-
ron, national organizer and chairman of
the campaign committee. He said
Not only does the general fight appear
to be won. but We feel that we of the
Eldependent League have gained our
point. We nave completely shattered the
chains which have bound the colored
race to the tail of the republican cart
Word comes from our organizers and
speakers in the doubtful states where
our work is being mainly carried on, that
it is difficult to find halls large enough
to contain the crowds at our meetings.
The results we have attained are far be-
yond our most sanguine expectations.

Long Time for Chief Operators.

twelve and half hours, the extra hour
being divided to allow him to eat at in
tervals. His wage is $50 week for this

according to his statement.

Another complaint is regarding the ex-
action put upon operators of carrying

to the shipping offices after their day s
work is done. This is extra duty put
upon them. they say, for which they
want overtime pay, unless it be accom-

circular for distribution to the Sc

prepared giving the history of the plant
and directions for cultivating and cook

been tried with success is making flour
of the dasheen. This has been used in
bread and biscuits that have a trace of
the characteristic taste and are decidedly
good.

Grows Under Humid Conditions.

The tuber is considered quite find for
the southern states because it will grow
in the moist, hot regions under humid
conditions that would kill potato. 1t
has been tried at the banquets of the Ma
tional Geographic Society here and pro-
nounced decidedly good, and has been
tried with approval by the house COM
mittee of the Cosmos Club. 1t can be
boiled or baked, or. in fact. cooked in any
other way potato can be used. The
taste is rather more meaty than a pota-
to- Some who have tasted it say there is
a suggestion of roasted chestnut about it..
and others that it tastes as though a
very slight addition of gravy had been
made to a potato.
Experiments with the culture Of the
dasheen have been made since 1904. Then
varieties were collected from many Cen
trail and South American points. The
plant was tried in the experiment sta
tons of Hawaii and Porto Rico. 1t was
found that the leaves Of the plant If first
boiled with little soda in the water to
remove the acrid taste made fine green's.
But the unquestioned success Of the new
vegetable was not proven till 1t had been
grown at the Brooksville experiment sta
ton in Florida and in the experimental
garden at Chico. Cal. 1t was found that
the best variety came from Trinidad,
though this has been improved by Amer
lean breeding. Tests have shown that a
crop of 400 to 40 bushels per acre can
be depended OIL

the operators in the discussion with the

He told the managers. among otner
things, that the operators are not de-

propose to pay substitutes when they
work but six of the seven days. ana
that the main purpose of this substituting
Is to give men out of steady work an
opportunity to earn a few dollars.
The conditions in the booths the oper-
ators say, justifies them in asking for
competent wage for obnoxious work. The
little elevated rooms in which they work,
according to their complaint, are sweat
boxes.
Temperatures of 90 and 80 degrees
Fahrenheit are common. In one booth.
where the thermometer marked about 14O
degrees the operator was working in his
underclothing when it came under the
eyes of the police. The police would not
permit the operator to proceed in this un-
dress, and he was compelled to don his
clothing, despite the intensity of the heat.
The labor is also hazardous, the oper-
ators declare. Hardly a week goes by
without some film taking fire.
