AFTER UNUSUAL
SESSION COURT
CLOSES TODAY
MOTION [OCKET SATURDAY
1870 Gases We're Disposed of
In Session

After one of the most remarkable
sessions in it's history, the City court
of Americus will close today with a
record to its credit of having dispos
ed of 1870 cases during the five weeks
session. Among this number appear
ed ten mstrials, which is in itself
very unusual.
The large number of cases that
have been tried and disposed of dur
ing the session is in itself the great
est tribute that can be paid to the
manner in which Judge Hixon haS
performed his duty in conducting the
court during this important session
The session usually lasts about three
weeks, but the session just drawing
to close has been in progress for
five weeks having been prolonged in
order that the docket might be clear
ed as nearly as possible.
In spite of the fact that the session
lasted five weeks, there are nearly a
hundred cases still on the docket.
which gives a still clearer idea of the
magnitude of the work involved in
conducting a five weeks session. Of
the 100 cases disposed Of the records
show that 1870 were criminal cases.
and so were civil cases. Altogether
there were 220 criminal cases before
the session of the court began. The
so civil cases disposed of represented
practically all of the cases of that
kind on the docket.
The session of the court has been
notable not only as regards the num-
ber of cases disposed of, but also On
that were declared. A total of ten
mistrials for the session is the heavy
record made in this particular, three
of these having been declared in one
day. 1t may be seen from this that
the wheels of justice have been badly
clogged at times during the session,
as this number of mistrials in one
day and the large number for the ses-
sion is unusual, in fact, almost un-
paralleled
Judge Hixon has made an enviable
record in the conduct of the court
during the session just closing. The
progress and effectiveness of the court
in disposing of such large number
of cases is due in large part to his
efficient administration of affairs, to-
gether with the able assistance th4.
is always given to the presiding judge
by the faithful and competent officers
of the court.

DID PENFIELD
GIVE UP $4,000?
To Boost the Campaign For
Governor Wilson

New York, February 8.-A new AMI
sy between the editor Henry Wat
terson on one hand, and the mana
gers of the presidential boom of
Woodrow Wilson on the other, has
come to light. 1t was inspired by the
final statement made by Editor Wat
terson at Washington last week in
which he suggested that court OF
honor" be created to determine the
several points at issue between him
self and the New Jersey executive,
and the latter's lieutenants, In Col.
Wattersons statement appeared this
passage:
q was met on my arrival in New
York by most urgent appeal for
money from gentleman of distinc-
ton closely associated with, if not
actually directing, the Wilson organ
ization, and in answer to this | was
able at once to secure considerable
sum of money"
Information is out from a reliable
source that the gentleman of dis
tinction" referred to by Col Waiter
son was Josiah Quincy, former mayo"
of Boston, who recently was arrested
with Julian Hawthorne, the author,
and other men, in connection with an
alleged get-rich-quick mine promotion
scheme
The considerable sum of mone'
raised partly through the efforts OF
former Mayor Quincy and Col. Wat
terson was either $4,000 or $4,000.
1t was contributed by Frederic Court
land Penfield, a wealthy man of lit
erary tastes and of limited diplomatic
experience, who has house at No
7S7 Fifth avenue, in this city, blt
who is now entertaining a party of
friends on his yacht up the Nile in

The actual amount of money con-
tributed to the Wilson fund by Nj.
Pentield is stated at Washington 20
have been $4,000 The most accurate
information to be obtained here in
New York as to the amount of it in
dicated that it was $4,000. w. =.
McCombs, the general manager OF

Penfeld did contribute to the cam
paign fund but he declined to give
any further information for publica-

the circumstances in which it was
made.

BROWNS GREAT LIBRARY

Atlanta, Feb. 8.-Over 5000 valn-
able books and some fine art pieces
belonging to the estate of the late
Julius Brown, have recently been
received at the Georgia School Of
Technology as a gift.
Desirable as such collections may
be, it is very rare that any school can
acquire them, as they cannot be
bought with any amount of money. II

man who has been a connoiseur that
such collections ever find their way

WISCONSIN PLAN
FOR LESS COST
System Doesn't Aim TO Put
Anyone Out Of Business

Madison, Wis, Feb. S.-The state OF
Wisconsin will try to selve the prob
lem of the high cost of living.
]. F. Sinclair. one of the recently
created state board of public affairs,
is working on a comprehensive plan
to aid the consumer and to reduce the
cost of living.
Mr.. Sinclair does not entertain any
wild-eyed notions about putting the
present-day merchant out of business.
He is working on a careful co-opera-
tive plan, which will indirectly re-
duce the high cost of living and teach
the working man how to invest his
money and upon basis of the re-
turns on that investment reduce the
cost of living. His plan does not
call for cooperative system which
will shatter markt.- prices.
Where cooperative stores have
been successful" declared Mr.. Sim
clair, they have introduced to the
working class the task of self-gov-
ernment, they have familiarized him
with cash payments instead Of credit
and opened the field for working
class investment upon a modest
scale The growth of the movement
seems to be one of the best aids 10
the working man in supplementing his
own earnings to meet the present high
cost of living"
Before any attempt is made to put
a system into operation in Wisconsin
the state board of public affairs, upon
the suggestion of Mr.. Sinclair, will
conduct a campaign of publicity to
familiarize the general public. as
well as merchants in all lines with
the real purpose of cooperative stores
and wholesale houses Mr.. Sinclair
has no intention of disturbing busi-
ness conditions.
