STERN JUSTICE TO BE
GIVEN TO INCONSISTENCIES

Atlanta, Nov. 2S.-The illicit max
ing of whiskey in the North Georgia
mountains, in defiance of federal law
has again reached an acute stage ac-
Judge Newman has announced that
henceforth no mercy, but only stern
justice, will be melted out to convict
ed offenders.
In times past the federal court here
has pursued policy of tempering JUS
tice with mercy, particularly in the
case of the rugged North Georgia
crackers, who made mountain dew
because they didn't kno wany better,
and who otherwise were honest.
But things are changing. During
the past thirty days Revenue Agent
Surber's men have been shot at a
doben times or more by moonshiners
in ambush. Not long ago Moultrie
Hughes, said to be an informer, was
killed in Fannin county by three men
thought to have been moonshiners, ana
his wife was badly hurt, while the
babe in her arms was dashed to
pieces.
/ These facts are taken to mean thar
the moonshners, despite past len
iency are bent on pursuing their Grim
NAL trade and backing it up with
murder and bloodshed when necessary

CONFERENCE
PUTS ITSELF
ON RECORD
AS OPPOSED 70 RACE SUICIDE
Busy Session of Body Held
Yesterday

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 29.-At the ses-
sion of the South Georgia conference
here today considerable interest was
injected into the proceedings of that
body when the question of admitting
certain young preacher ION trial"
came up.
Pending the vote upon the young
man, DR.. Ellis said: % Brethren, here
is young man of rneagre attachments
with a wife and four little children,
and necessarily we will have to place
him on charge with a small salary
and l am not willing to make this
mans wife and little children suf-
fer"
DR. Anthony, speaking along this
line, said: 1T is not right to place this
young brother where he will be en-
barrassed financially. Already in some
sections our churches. have been put
in disrepute because preachers hav :
failed to pay their debts"
DO | understand" chimed in Mr..
]. S. Shingler, of Ashburn, that this
conference is about to put the stamp
of disapproval upon this young man
because he happens to be the father
of four children? Is this conference
going on record as being in favor of
race suicide?"
His speech brought down the
house, and amid hand clippings of
approval the conference admitted the
young man into the conference.
The list Of appointments for the
coming conference year is now near
ing completion, and Bishop Mccoy IS
expected to make this public at to-
morrow's session. This will be the
concluding business of the confer
ence

.LYCEUM GAVE
A PLEASING
PERFORMANCE
AS THIRD COURSE NUMBER
The SChubertS' Concert Was
Greatly Enjoyed

A performance that was greatly en-
joyed was that given last evening at
the High School auditorium by the
Schuberts' Concert company, which
was enjoyed by large number of
people
Although two other good musical
attractions had preceded the one of
last evening, the program of the
Schuberts was probably the most
genuinely enjoyed of all. The num-
bers were sufficiently numerous and
varied to prove popular.
Manager C. C. Youmans, who has in
charge the Lyceum work here, makes
and especial plea for the success of
the Lyceum course, the proceeds of
which will be used for the purpose of
equipping the High School stage.
Three other pleasing numbers have
been booked for appearance here be-
fore the season will have been conclud-
ed.

New York Cotton.


New York, Nov. 29.-Cotton opened
steady at a decline of 3 points to an
advance of points, with the near
months relatively easy on disappoint-
ing cables and rumors that few De-
cember notices had been issued.
There were buying orders around
the ring, however, while there was
no change In the general character
of trade and crop news and the mar
ket sold about 2 to s points net high
err right after the call There was a
good deal of scattered realizing AM
fluctuations were more or less irreg-
ular during the middle of the morn
ing. with prices showing reactions of Z
or points from the best.
After sagging off to a net loss OF
5 or Z points, it was seen that the
offerings for long account was be-
coming less active and prices devel.
oped renewed firmness on a renewal
or bull support and covering new
high records were made before mid
day with the general list selling
about 10 to IA points net higher. De-
cember was relatively quiet and q
was reported that notices for about
$500 bales had been taken by trade
interests, who already owned the ma
iority of the stock Spot quiet; mid
ding uplands nominal.
The market turned easier during
the early afternoon. There was yer
eavy realizing on the approach to
IL cents and after a withdrawal OF
bull support the market broke very
sharply with prices selling off more
than 20 points and with the active
months about to 10 points net lower

Mrs. Carnegie Gives Consent to
Remove Body of General Lee

taken by the lawmakers. When an
officer of the local chapter was ques-
toned yesterday relative to the latest
phase of the subject she stated Mrs
Carnegie had been written relative
to the protest of the Georgia D. A. r..
and that a letter had been received
from her which left the impression
she would take no action in the mat
ter. 1t Is understood, however, that
Mrs. Carnegie contemplates remov
ing from Pennsylvania all the Car
negie dead to Dungeness, and since
the burial ground on the Carnegie es-
tate in which General Lee is buried
has limited space. it is thought this
has something to do with the Vir-
ginia legislature securing her con-
sent.
II is not known at present whether
any further action will be taken by
the Georgia D. A. r. The only re-
source left since Mrs. Carnegie has
given her consent for the removal
would be to petition Governor Brown
to grant stay preventing the re-
moval of the remains until the Geor-
gia legislature could act one way or
another on the matter but it is hard
ly likely this will be done.
The strongest argument the
Daughters of this state make against
the removal is statement made by
General Robert f. Lee on visit to
his fathers grave in 1870, when he
stated he was satisfied with the
resting place of his beloved sire, and
that a prettier and more restful spot
could not have been chosen.

TRUST COMPANY'S GROWTH
HAS BEEN VERY GREAT
As Shown by Report For the Last
Years.

Atlanta, Nov. 28.-Trust company
expansion in the Southern states has
been marked during the past few
years. This is true, not only as to
the organization of new trust com
panies, with large capital stock pail
in, but of enterprises which have
achieved prominence by many years
of service. 1t is likewise noteworthy
that special attention is being devoted
to developing the business of trust
departments, in attracting appoint
ments as trustee, executor, admins,
traitor and as fiduciary in connection
with corporation financing.
The Atlanta Trust Company, of At
lanta, formerly the Hillyer Trust Co
is making a brilliant record in .handl-
ing trusts of all descriptions. The
policy pursued by the company in
handling bonds, mortgages and other
investments has been exceptionally
successful and has attracted wide
spread interest in financial and bank
ing circles.

EUROPE IN VERY
NERVOUS STATE
Situation is Serious to Bio
Nations

London, Nov 29.-Europe is being
kept in a state of nervous tension by
preparations of eyentualities" which
the powers directly interested in the
Balkan situation ore making and by
Servia's contemptuous attitude to-
ward Austria's prohibition against
the occupation by the smaller state
of a seaport on the Adriatic.
The Servian troops have occupied
the port of Durazzi, and the question
now arises in the minds of diplomats
and foreign public whether Austria
will take immediate steps to turn
them out, or will waltz until the con-
clusion of the war before taking ac-
ton.
Servia appears to fear that Aus
tria-Hungary will not wait for the
entire question of the Balkans to be
considered by a conference of the
European powers after the cessation
Of hostilities. According to reports
reaching here from Vienna, she is
mobilizing her army on the Austrian
frontier for the protection of her ter
ritory.
Elsewhere a more optimistic view
is held and although a warlike feel
ing prevails in Vienna and st. Peters
burg, the rulers and ministers Of
Russia and Hungary con
tinuc working to avert a conflict.
