GUN DRAWN AND
CURS|NG HEARD
IN COURTROOM
Liquor Seller Defes Sheriff While
Convicted Slayer Feigns
Sudden Violent Insanity.

ATHENS, Sept. 2O.-In the Banks
County Superior Court, at Conner,
yesterday Judge Brand was given an
other fine opportunity to further his
crusade against the pistol toter. He
was called upon to pass sentence on
an offender who pulled his gun in the
presence of the court and juries, law
yers and attendants.
A man named Saey, up for selling
whisky, on being asked to remain in
an anteroom while a bondsman was
looked up, insisted on following the
Sheriff. When the officer sought to
put him back in the room by force
he drew his pistol right in the court
room. He was promptly given six
months on the gang by Judge Brand.
Another interesting case was that
against Pink Haywood, who is rather
an unique character His father was
a one-legged beggar one brother was
hanged for murder. another is serv-
ing life sentence for participation in
the killing and now Pink is up for
the second time in a murder case.
Some time ago he was convicted of
murder and sentenced to life, but on
a motion for a new trial the Su-
preme Court said there were no
grounds for manslaughter and recon-
mended that he be found guilty in the
first degree
When Pink heard of this he sud
denly went crazy in the Jail and raved
like a maniac. He was tried this
week for lunacy and the jury return
ed verdict that he was taking, and
when the new trial was brought up
1t was found that the main witness
was dead and that another could not
be present. The trial could not be
heard, but the prisoner was so We
hement in his "cussing' and raving
that the judge sentenced him to six
months in the gang for cursing before
ladies in the courtroom.

OLD POLITICAL
FEUDS REVIVED
|NMACON RACE
Friends and Enemies of Judge
Miller Draw Same Lines About
His Sons Candidacy.

MACON, Sept. 2o.-Next Friday
Macon will nominate a Mayor, and
he will be either Wallace Miller.
Bridges smith or A. L. Dasher, Sr.
Strictly speaking, he will be either
Miller or Smith, because Dasher, by
reason of various circumstances, is
not IN the running. However, he is
making an earnest campaign, direct
ing his efforts toward weakening the
administration, which is represented
by Smith
Political experts figure that Dash
er's presence in the race is an aid 10
Miller, since the latter too, is fight
ing the administration.
The general estimate is that there
will be fully 1900 votes polled in the
primary of September 26 VIII Gum,
campaign manager for Miller, pre-
diets a Miller majority of $50. The
Smith workers prophesy a Smith
victory Of over 300. Nom partisans
look for a very close race, with the
winner getting probably 200 more
votes than he needs.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the aldermanic ticket will be greatly
split. On account of Smiths great
personal popularity, he will get the
vote of many who will not vote for
his ticket. j. B. Riley, DR.. w. q.
Lee and Eden Taylor, of the Miller
aldermanic candidates. and R. c.
Hazlehurst and Ross Bowdre, of the
administration ticket, will poll the
most votes. 1t is not believed any OF the
Dasher aldermanic candidates have
any chance for election.
The old Miller Smith, Miller?
Moore feeling has at last been Inject
ed into this campaign, and is, in fast,
a live issue Judge A. L. Miller, the
father of Wallace Miller, ran against
Mr.. Smith in 1906 and was defeated.
He ran against John T. Moore, the
present Mayor, in 1907, and won. He
was opposed by Mr.. Moore again iii
1909 and was defeated. Ever since
a citizen in local politics has been
either of the Miller" stripe or an ad-
ministration supporter. Wallace
Miller is receiving largely the same
vote that went to his father coupled
with the passive support OF the Law
Enforcement League, which his father
never received at any time.
If Miller is elected, he Will be the

How to Keep Face
Young and Attractive
(NatIonaI HyaIenIc RevIewl.

National HygienIc Review.
The way to ward off old age is not to
fear it, not to allow ones self to be op-
pressed by the dread of advancing years.
Use only legitimate preventives and
avoid trying experiments with prepara-
tions not Endorsed by physicians. An
entirely safe and very effective way to
keep the complexion young looking and
beautiful is to apply ordinary mercolized
wax at bedtime, using it like cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. This
gradually absorbs the withered, faded
cuticle, which is replaced by the more
youthful pink-tinted underskin. One
ounce of this wax, to be had at any
drug store, is enough to completely re-
iuvenate a WORKOUT complexion.
Crows feet and other wrinkles, the
first signs Of advancing age, may be re-
moved by a simple, harmless prepara-
ton made by dlssolving an ounce Of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch
hazel. It is used as a face bath. Adv,
