ed for the staying of Richard Har

Superior Judge Roam today. was post
poned until tomorrow morning, at 9

Solicitor Dorsey found today that the
Potts case could not be reached before
1 o'clock. After a consultation with
Reuben Arnold, attorney for the ac-
cused, he agreed to let it go over.
While the solicitor announced him
self ready in the Potts case today. he
admitted that the scattering of the den
izens of the district, as a result of
Chief Beavers order, had put many of
the states witnesses beyond reach of
the authorities

DR.. N NAUGHTON
GRAN TED NEW
RESPITE
Governor Extends Time of Con-
demned Man to May 9, Pend
ing Mrs. Flanders Trial.

Governor Brown today respited Dr.
w. j. McNaughton. condemned to death
for the murder of Fred Flanders in
Emanuel county many months ago, un-
til May 8.
McNaughton was under sentence to
die on February 2S, having been res
pited in November to that date by the
governor, who declared that McNaugh-
ton should not die until the case against
Mrs Fred Flanders. his alleged CO.
conspirator in the staying of Flanders,
should be disposed OF.
Although McNaughton and Mrs,
Flanders were indicted jointly two
years ago for the crime against Flan-
ders. and McNaughton was promptly
tried and convicted, Mrs. Flanders new
er has been tried
McNaughton's attorney, Colonel Fred
Saffold, of Swainsboro, has stoutly
maintained that the state dare not try
Mrs. Flanders before McNaughton's ex-
ecution, holding that the state not only
could not convict Mrs. Flanders, but
that her trial. in all probability, would
result III NinulCdtlOn OF MCNauSnIOn.
Case Again Put Over.
When the governor respited Nc
Naughton last fall it was his under
standing that Mrs. Flanders would be
tried at the January term of the Eman-
uel court, and he had what he consid-
cred a promise from the state that she
should be. When her case was called
in January, however, it was again con-
tinued. 1t is now on the calendar for
the March term
True 10 his avowed purpose, the gov
ernor today again postponed the SEN
tence of McNaughton until May. eX-
pecting Mrs. Flanders to be tried at the
March term.
II Mrs. Flanders is not tried at the
March term the case likely will be con-
tinued until the June term, and that
will carry it over from the administra-
| tion of Governor Brown into the ad-
! ministration of Governor Slaton.
Whether the governor suspects that
some such purpose is now in the minds
OF the Emanuel county officials he has
| not said, but if he should find that the
intention is to get the case away from
him and into some other hands not
committed to any course of action with
respect to McNaughton. it may be that
McNaughton's sentence will be COM
muted 10 life Imprisonment, thus max
ing it certain that he viii be alive when
Mrs. Flanders is tried, If ever unless
brought to his death by natural causes.
Governor in Doubt.
There is evidently an element OF
doubt in the executive mind as to the
guilt of McNaughton--accen 10y
! the persistent refusal OF the state to try
her alleged accomplice-and the gov
crnor plainly is determined that Nc
Naughton shall have the benefit of that
| doubt for the present at least.
| Colonel Saffold. McNaughton's law
! yer, who is In Atlanta, declares that the
case against Mrs. Flanders never will
be tried 50 long as McNaughton lives.
If she is not tried at the May term
the proposition then before the govern
or will be decidedly interesting.

Meals In the Dark Aces.

Few references can be found as 60
the manner in which meal was sery-
ed and eaten during the dark ages. As
near as we can learn. the soup was
put In big bowl with ears. called n
"porrlnger." There was seldom a
spoon for each person Those who had
spoons dipped them into the porringer.
and the liquid was carried directly to
each mouth. Those who were without
spoons drank their soup from the por-
ringer. holding II by one Of the ears.
or else borrowed spoon OF their
neighbor. The meats were placed In
a large vessel In the center of the Ia
BILE. Each person present at the meal
picked out with his fingers such bits
as he desired. One or two knives an.
swered for half dozen guests. Those
who were without knives borrowed
from those who had them. As a rule,
the guests at table used their own
knives. There is no evidence that
napkins were supplied to guests at
this period At any rate. no mention
Is made OF them.

MAKING CLOUD PICTURES.
Some Useful Hints That May Help
Amateur Photoara piers.

Your cloud picture depends largely
upon your choice OF a subject. Rivers
and small lakes. mountains and hills
lend the best contrast. while trees IN
the immediate foreground come next.
Wide eXpanses OF level lands or vast
stretches Of water are unsatisfactory.
IL you desire an ocean cloud effect be
sure to place cliff or some prominent
landmark In the foreground TO break
the monotony.
The exposure for cloud effects. made
necessary by the laws of light and op-
tics. is necessarily very rapid. Anon
alUus as ii may seem. this does not pre-
suppose IN extra rapid lens. In fact,
such one may defeat the very object
you hope to attain. make my cloud
scenes with an ordinary rectilinear lens
by preference. The exposure with I'M
eight stop should be the maximum
speed OF the ordinary shutter. II the
day is exceedingly brilliant the stop
must be correspondingly decreased.
The great danger Is in over exposure,
thereby dissoving your cloud.-Charles

How Seeds Travel.

They have been discovering some ex-
traordinary plants in England, plants
which puzzled the botanlsts. to whom
they were either utterly unknown or
known as growing only In far distant
lands. One naturalist picked on the
grounds OF the Bradford sewage works
100 species OF foreign plants. Among
these were several Australian burrs,
jimson weed, prickly peoples from
Mexico, others native TO Peru. Siberia
and the Azores. All were OF prickly
nature. Investigation proved thnt the
dust from wool comblng establishments
was being used as fertilizer and the
washings Of wool were run into the
sewers. The burrs Of these foreign
plants had come In the wool and had
grown. Other plants had sprung from
seed In rags and others been brought
In soil on foreign timber.-New York

ZINC SMELLING.

as Early as 1873.
For many years the art of zinc smelt-
ing was supposed to be relatively mod
ern among metalurgical processes and
to be due to the invention of the Able
Daniel Dony. a chemist of Liege, the
story of whose accidental discovery in
1905 is classical.
The particular type OF Belgian fur
mace may Indeed be credited TO Dony.
but It has long been doubtful whether
he was entirely unacquainted with pre-
vious undertakings, Thus ii Is well
known that the manufacture Of spelter
was begun in Upper Silesia aboct 1893

the art in England (where zinc smelt-
ing was then being carried on by the

case OF an encounter with big game.
The fisherman In a short time landed
large fish and then moved up stream

enormous tiger
In panic the. fisherman concealed
himself behind pile OF rocks md was
catering himself that he had escaped
observation when the fish fell from his
hands In full view OF the tiger.
The fish was tioundering In the road,
and the tiger Instantly bounced on Il
and carried 1t Off. But the hook still
held. aud as soon as the tiger felt the
resistance of the line he gave his head
an impatient shake. which resulted in
the harpooning OF his upper lip

animal saw the crouching fisherman.

II appears practically certain that

act a primary election law, though
the platforms of all three OF the par
ties in the state promised IT, AS the

ers will hurt the republicans princi-
pally and is more than likely to de-
feat the republican party at the polls
In two years. 1t is a strange thing
that the representatives and sena-
tors at Montpelier continue to allow
themselves to be hoodwinked by a
few corporation lawyers and old line
politicians in this matter. About the
only argument put up against a pri-
mary law Is that it will decrease the
influence of the small towns OF the
state notwithstanding the fact that
this theory has been exploded In
every state In the Union where a pri.
mary system has been tried and this
means in every state save four or
five. Such men as President Taft,
President-elect Wilson. former presl-
dent Roosevelt, Ex-Governor Hughes
of New York and others of that type
are pronounced advocates OF primary
election laws while the opponents are
OF the Boss Barnes and Tammany
Chief Murphy type. yet a majority
of our Vermont legislators have lined
up with the latter class. Here In
Vermont are on record In favor,

publican party and practically all the
leaders of the democratic and pro-
gressive parties But their stand
appears to be of no avail against the
efforts at Montpelier OF a group of
lobbyists who want things left as
they are and who apparently want
nominations made through the mani.
pulation of delegates rather than by
leaving It to the direct voice OF the
voters themselves.
