opening of the baseball season, arc

the Albany Transit Company, gave that
date as the time for beginning opera

tension of the company's time limit

the company would do all in its power
to have portion of the line in opera

certainty in the delivery of machinery
which had been ordered, he wanted to

EXTENSIVE LAND SUIT
MAY BE INSTIGATED
Over Valuable Lee County
Property

Leesburg, Ga, Feb. 2S.-Much inter
est has been aroused here over the no.
LITIGATION that suit will be entered in
Lee superior court by w. T. Cooke, Of
Chokee, this county, against certain
property holders in Leesburg for the
recovery of lands lying near the town.
The land in question is a portion Of
that owned by former citizen of Lee
county, Dudley Snead, deceased. Snead
died in 1886, having been the owner Of
approximately 1900 acres of land n
and near Leesburg. Some of this
land is within the town limits, while
the other is just outside. 1t is owned
by probably rs different persons.
From all indications there will be
holly contested litigation as the result.
". T. Lane, of Americas, and W. G.
Martin, of Leesburg, will represent Mr..
Cooke in the suit The attorneys who
will represent the other numerous
property owners are not known though
it is very likely that H. A. Wilkinson
of Dawson, and a we'll known Macon
firm will be engaged by the defense. 1t
is claimed that the property involved
is worth approximately $4,000, which
would make the suit probably the larg-
est one of this kind ever conducted II

Cordele, Feb. 2S.-After a trial con-
tinuing throughout the day in superior
court of Crisp county, R. H. Roberts,
charged with perjury in the disappear
ance case of Augustus j. Fem, was
acquitted last night after the jury had
been out only few minutes.
1t was alleged by the Southern States

company appealed to the state supreme
court, where the case was pending
when the missing Fem was found. 4
mistrial had been declared in similar
case in the city court for $4,000
against the Greensboro Life and An
nuity Company.
After introducing part of it's evil
dence the state rested it's case against
Roberts, and taking advantage of the
fact that the most importance evidence
had not been brought out on the part
of the prosecution, the defense intro
duced no evidence at all, not even 50
much as statement from Roberts.

Mr. w r. Drane, in winding up the
hunting season yesterday, found fine
bunch of turkeys in Muckalee creeR

MANY CHANGES In
The new BLOUSES
Are To Show Variety Of
Color

Many changes distinguish the new
blouses, says the fashion writer i'll
the New York Tribune. New mater
ials have been designed expressly for
them; novel combinations of mater
ials have been made, and equally I'M
usual combinations of colors have been
conceived The color note which was
reflected on the white waists has
deepened into an entire blouse of 4
brilliant hue; and each day brings
forth new styles, not only in the fash
ions of the blouse, but in the shape Of
the collars, the sleeves and in the
t. INNINGS. The interest in blouses
was aroused this winter after they
had been overshadowed for several
seasons by the one-piece costume.
The new blouses, however, are quite
, different from the regulation white
shirt waist, which has come to be
part of what might be called "the
American uniform" Just why the
white shirtwaist has been so general
ly adopted in this country will ever
remain a mystery to the student Of
dress. 1t certainly requires frequent
trips to the laundry, whence it may
reappear in a wearable condition, Or
it may not, the chances being aboIi
equal. Yet a white shirtwaist is not
a Joy to the eye unless it is freshly
Numbered and Immediately clean
The inharmonious ensemble in color
at the waist line, and the practical
cutting of the figure in two, is not be
coming to the average woman. Yet
| the white shirtwaist has been univer-
sally adopted by the working girl AM
the woman of fashion and leisure
Possibly it may become the lesser u
! two evils, for comparatively few wo-
men have sufficient eye for color to
combine tremendously a blouse of a
radiant color with a skirt equal,
flamboyant, and the new skirts arc
quite as brilliant in tone as are the
blouses.
The safer choice is, undoubtedly
the blouse matching the skirt in COL
or. The material, however, may be g
contrasting one, frightened by dis
CT eet trimmings where color may be
used. 1t is a very simple matter q
add a touch of color in the cravat
the piping, the vest, or even the col
lar and cuffs, and the result is delight
, fully effective.

smallest in the South Atlantic league
has held up its end in the matter o:

the increase will be a substantial one
everything else being equal. In prev

ROOT AMENDMENT
FAVORED BY WILSON
Thinks American Ships Should
Pay Canal Tolls

Washington, Feb 2S.-President-
elect Wilson has made known to DEM
ocratic senate leaders most closely
in his confidence, that he favors the
passage of Senator Roots amendment
&c the Panama canal bill to repeal the
provision exempting American coast
wise ships from payment of tolls
1t was said today that the new pres
ident had made his position plain
lately to several democratic senator's,
1t was the subject of remark because
Senator O'Gorman, of New York, who
has been regarded as more or less of
spokesman for Mr.. Wilson, is a
sturdy opponent of the Root amend
ment and champion Of free passage
FOR American ships.
There is no likelihood of any ac-
ton on the Root appeal amendment
curing the few remaining days of the
END congress. 1t was recently tabled
in the senate interoceanic canals
committee, thus preventing the posi-
bility of even being brought before
the senate on minority report.
1t is expected to be renewed at the
next congress, probably during the
extra session.
