Sentiment in financial circles has i'm

iron and steel trade, particularly in the
Plttsburg district Reports from that CEN
ter indicate larger buying of railway
equipment than for several months and
concessions in prices are of less frequent
occurrence, thus suggesting that the bot
tom point has about been reached,
Additional encouragement is derived
from the facts that the decrease in the

anticipated, although restriction of output
held the decline in check Certain other

aged about 19 years, were arrested
Friday forenoon by officer Dauteuil,
on a warrant. sworn out by George

guilty, however and sentence was sus-
pended to the same date and hour as
in the above case. During the pro-
gress of the he,rtngs it was ascertain
ed that the boys had drank the con-
tents of one bottle, broken one bottle

Duties of Insurance Agents.

The duties of insurance agents have
been pointed out in the following
paragraph from a bulletin recently
compiled by the officials of the State
Insurance Department:
I'VE have been urged to say word,
especially to the agents of industrial
accident and health insurance COM
panies relative to the importance OF
carefully preparing the applications OF
the prospect and In supplying to the
home office all facts pertaining to the
risk which are known to the agent
and which are often times omitted
either in the interests of securing the
policy fee or commission because of
personal friendship or other reasons.
The company generally has nothing to
Judge the relative merits of the risk
except the information conveyed by
the application and the statement or
the agent The character of their
business requires the exercise of good
Judgment on the part of the agent,
diligence and care in acquainting his
company with such facts as should be
known to them. The character OF the
agent as we'll is affected by his dill
gence and care in supplying this in
formation and in, exercising discre-
ton in the selection of prospects,.

Big CATCHES OF FISH

Dam Gave Way LeaVingIFish

The dam at Councils Mill, two miles
south of the city, gave way during the
early hours of morning yesterday,
making a crevasse of thirty feet,
through which all of the water of the
large pond, covering, perhaps, thirty
acres, escaped. Just why the mill
dam should break, and especially dur
ing a period of five weeks drouth, is
unless, as supposed, !;
was undermined by spring. which
carried the dirt away.
The break will be repaired at once
and in the course of a few days the
pond will be reflled. Many people
visited the place yesterday and pick
ed up hundreds of fine Dream and
trout, left fioundering in the mud by
the receding waters, two men alone
catching 149 fine ones.

SENSATION is SPRUNG In
MURDER TRIAL AT AUGUSTA
Case Of Marshal ShCdd Goes
TO Jury Today

Augusta, Ga, May I'm a court
room packed to suffocation, nearly
half the spectators being ladies, SEN
sation was exploded yesterday in the
murder trial of Marshall Shedd, rail-
road engineer, who killed Sonny
Collins.
Mrs. Cora Brown, a white woman,
mother of two children, who lives OPP
posite Collins store, testified as an
witness, saying three negroes had
Shedd on the ground and a fourth was
attempting to attack him with a knife
when Collins rushed out, grabbed
Shedd's right arm at the wrist, forced
the hand holding the revolver back
over Shedd's shoulder, and Collins was
accidentally shot The state offered
five witnesses to prove that the wo-
man had told them in their presence
that she was out for the money
and would tell the story for whichevec
side would pay her the most money,
just as they wanted it told.
Lieutenant of Police Britt, in his tes-
timony, broke through the effort If
the state to protect the name of the
man who it was said had offered the
woman $500 and said the woman made
the statement that the offer was made
by Attorney Sam L. Olive, counsel for
the defense. The witnesses for the
state denied that the woman had ever
made any statement that Jerry Collins
offered her $1,000 to leave the stare.
The three material witnesses for the
defense were impeached by the state.

DIRECT PARDON is
ASKED FOR h'NAUGHTON
Despite Respite Granted Him
Recently by Governor

Atlanta, Ga, May Although Gov
ernor Brown on yesterday afternoon
issued an official order respiting DR..
w. j. McNaughton from May to Sep
tember 6, Judge Frank Saffold his
attorney, to DR.. John E. Wilder, one
of Savannah's leading Baptist divines,
appeared before the prison commission
today and appealed direct for a par
don for the Swainsboro physician.
Their appeal was based on the
ground that the trial of Mrs. Flanders
would never take and that DR.. Nc
Naughton was innocent OF the charge
of numbering Fred Flanders.
Judge Saffold went into the history
of the famous case fully and made an
eloquent appeal He is firm in his own
belief in the innocence of his client
and his earnestness goes far towards
convincing those who hear him.
DR.. Wilder also made an eloquent
plea in behalf of the physician, ana
told of his intimate association with
the convicted man since McNaughton
has been held in the Savannah Jail.
That both men are hopeful of favor
able action from the prison commits
sion was marked by their demeanor
today After appearing before the pris
on commission they conferred with
Governor Brown.
Governor Brown remains firm in his
attitude, however, holding that his on
ly and consistent course is that taken,
respite. The hope of McNaughton
now is in Governor Slaton, who be-
comes chief executive in few weeks
and who must pass on it one way or
the other.
