UNIQUE PETITION
Verdict W as Rendered
When Defendant Was
Absent--Wants it
set Aside.

Atlanta, Oct. 24.-Ed A. Low
ry has filed a unique petition
with the superior court to have a
verdict set aside, on the ground
that he as the defendant was not
present in court when the verdict
was rendered against him.
It is charged that civil suit
against Lowry was heard and a
decision rendered, in the 1O26th
district of this county, when
neither Lowry nor his attorney
was present in court.
Such a ground, SO far as is
known has never come up before
in Georgia, and leading lawyers
here say that if Lowry can prove
his contention he will certainly
win.

W. ]. Harris Elated
Over Gas. Prosperity

Atlanta, Oct. 24.-Director of
the Census W. J. Harris, who is
in town for few days, is wear
ing a smile as broad as the map
of Georgia. His flying visit home
on business for his fire insurance
npany has convinced him that
8rgia is entering upon an era
Of material and political prosperi-
ty, the like Of which she has not
known in years.
With fourteen cent cotton in
the fields, and harmony in the
halls of state; with strong re-
presentation at Washington, and
the state affairs at home in the
hands of a progressive governor,
trusted and esteemed by all, Mr..
Harris sees nothing in the way
of wonderful advances.
AS chairman of the state demo
cratic executive committee in
Georgia, Mr.. Harris hoped and
worked for the harmonizing of
the different political factions in
state politics, and to his efforts
have been largely credited the
fact that bitter factionalism has
within the last couple of years
practically disappeared.
Senator Harris gives the adj
ministration of Governor Slaton
great credit for this mitigation
of fractional feeling. He believes
that Governor Slaton has made
himself the governor of all the
people of Georgia and not Of any
faction, and that it is vital for
the welfare of the state for
Governor Slaton to be reelected
and continue in office until his
program is carried out.
Senator Harris expresses the
belief that Georgia is more ably
represented in the United States
government than any other
State, and that the Georgia SEN
ators are in a position to do their
constituents more good than they

In his report DR.. Stallings says
that during this period his de-

|. W. Fisher Landed
In Dalton Jail
Accused Of Murder

Atlanta Oct. 24.-Was it a MUIR
der crime upon his own conscience
that caused Ira w. Fisher to let
his mind run morbidly on murder
stories and finally accuse an utter
ly innocent man of the murder of
Mary Phagan9 Stranger things
have come within the knowledge
of the police and of Psychologists,
and the indictment of Fisher on an
old murder charge is dramatic
outcome that hints at possible
lurid melodramas that have been
going on in Fishers mind. per-
haps on the borderland between
sanity and insanity.
The thing that the police had
failed to figure out after thew
found Fishers accusation of Shir-
ley a complete fabrication, was
why Fishers mind should have
ever gone to work on the Phacan
murder case at all. II Fisher is in
deed insane, or on the verge of it,
they see a faint gIimmering Of
explanation i'll the fact that he
himself is now accused of having a
hidden and bloody murder in his
own life history.
Fisher, who is held by the At
lanta police on the charge of crimi.
nal libel, will be turned over to-
day to the Whitfield county
authorities, and will be taken to
Dalton to stand trial for murder.
Only forty eight hours ago
Fishers name loomed large in the
daily press as an accusing witness.
Today the man whom he accused
is cleared, and Fisher himself is in
an accused murderer's cell.

American Musicians
Coming To Front

Atlanta, Oct. 23.-That the
American people spend more
money for tunes than they do for
battleships and more for fiddlers
than they do for soldiers was
plcturesquely told by the great
music critic. John G. Freund. in
his Atlanta address. Mr.. Freund,
who is the editor Of ''Musical
America, says th,t Americans are
not only true lovers of music,
but that rhey are beginning to
throw off European domination
and create music of their own.
There is no justitiable basis de-
clared Mr.. Freund, for the prevail
ing prejudice against composers,
singers and music teachers in the
United States just because they
are locally bred.
Mr.. Fruead congratulated At.
lanta on the wonderful progress
the city had made in the musical
development of the south.

The Nome Nugget pays the follow ing tribute to those AIaskans who have made financial failures during work in the north:
 All honor to the Pioneers of Alas ka for their efforts toward making easier the last days of the men who have given their best years to de valoping the country and who are threatened with want towards the end.
 The men who have failed have done as much as the men who sue ceeded. It takes many failures to make one success for one is guided 10 success by failures. Let us take any camp in all the North and we shall find that the number of use less holes sunk is infinitely great 9. than the number in which pay was found. But the men who sank holes on barren bedrock worked as hard as the men who happened to sink on th5 paystreak. What is more; the men who dug down in the paystreak would not have done SO in most cases were 1t not that others had dug before them and shown them where further effort would be useless.
 In all camps it is the very same. One bunch digs on one creek where there is nothing. The next bunch avoids that creek, therefore, and digs somewhere else. Failures on all creeks means prospecting in som other place altogether until pay is at last discovered. Are the men who dug on the blanks not just as much entitled to the credit as are the men who profited by their work?
 Yet We are inclined fOolishly to regard the successful miner as the only real thing. The other man ! who indirectly put the money in his pocket often finds himself in want.
 As it is with localities so it is with the whole territory. Men are undergoing all kinds of hardships n the time to prospect new parts of it. The parts in which they meet failure others will avoid and the result is success for some, sooner or later.
 It requires failure and success tc develop a new land as surely as it requires hydrogen and oxygen to produce water. As the hydrogen must be twice as great in amount aI the oxygen the failures must be twice, yes twenty times, as great as the successes but both are ab- splutely essential. We should nev- CT forget, therefore, the fellow that fails. Alaska's great future is the , result Of his efforts Just as much as it is the result of the efforts of him who has grown purse proud while the men who made him die in want around him.
 There is nothing too good for the wounded veteran who falls by the wayside during the march of civilization into the lands held for mankind's overflow He has work ed for providence but providence has held back his pay check for the present. Let those who are able help him to tide over the time un- t;l he reaches pay on the last gold en shore of all.

But the brieGest outline of the presidents message can be secured by Alaska newspapers, but from that brief outline We are led to the be- lief that lr Wilson has made a profound impression on the minds Ut the American people. Long be- fore his inauguration he had mani- tested that he could keep his own council. and now he advises us to wait until there is an assurance of right. and then go ahead. He is TO. moved by impulse, but by grave and deliberate judgment. With a thousand influences which must have powerfully urged him to select representatives from the capitalistic interests. iu the filling of his cabi- aeJ. he listened to them all and laen chose those whom he thought best for tae welfare of the country.
 Then in his speech he took the people into his confidence. He asked the honest men to advise, and t.e faithful to sustain him, and he promised that with their assistance he would hot fail us president of saa United States. He gives every aan his ear. but few his tongue.
 In the selection of William Jen- rings Hrym as Secretary of State. he has secured the assistance of one of the abIest men of the world, a u.an who has never yet been charged with political or other crookcdness, and one whose knowledge of Ameri- can affairs is the equal or superior O his own. The secretary of state r regurdcI as first in rank among iHe members of the cabinet. His duties cover vast range of public affairs Hu is charged with the duties aprgrtainiug to the core spoudeuce with the public ministers and cousuls of the United States, and with representatives Of foreign towers. and negotiations of whateyei e. aracter relating to the foreign at- ratrs ot -.e United States.

 In the formation of the cabinet Mr. Wilson has neglected neither north. east south nor west. The Secretary of the Interior he took from the vest, because in the west is where most of the duties of that department will be exercised.
 The circumstances under which he enters office are most propitious He fellows William Taft who was not a success. and the comparison will rebound to the glory of the new administration.

The Loop is going to do wonders
for Carson Valley, in that it will ac-

anyone to say that all we possess i

Now is the time to get busy. Have
