CAN'T COLLECT ON JOB
OF SHERIFF'S REQUEST

Where physician at the instance
and upon the request of a sheriff
performs a surgical operation upon
one who is prisoner in the custody
of such sheriff, an action cannot be
maintained by the physician against
the county to recover the value Of
such services.
SO the Supreme Court has held
in the case of DR.. c. T. Nolan, secre-
tary of the state board of medical
examiners, against the county of
Cobb. A prisoner in the Cobb coun-
ty Jail became critically i'll, and the
physician said an operation was i'm.
perative to save his life. The pris-
oner was removed to a sanitarium.
and DR.. Nolan performed the opera
ton.
He then rendered a bill of 800.
The county commissioners voted to
pay him $50, which the physiciaA
declined to accept, setting up that
the operation was a reasonable one
at 500. He sued the county, but
general demurrer throwing the
case out was sustained, and now the
supreme court upholds this decision.
The court syas there is no law
authorizing the sheriff to bind the
county under the facts alleged, and
even if the action of the board Of
county commissioners could be coll
sidered as recognition of liability of
the county for services rendered, it
could not render the county liable,
as the liability of the county depend
ed upon the law, and no action Of
the commissioners taken after the
services were performed could render
it liable to a suit for such services.
Therefore, physicians will be care
full about dosing or carving prisoners
in custody, inasmuch as the matter

Charles Bane, Mrs c. A. Wikle, Mrs.
G., H. Keller, Mrs. 7. R. Patterson.
The leagues work during the past
two years has been varied. At the
railroad station a grass plot, flow
er bed and young trees have replaced
the barren stretch of cinders.
Last fall new coping was laid
and four granite posts placed at the
corners of the plot. We wish Pres.
Peyton would take look at the i'm
provement made by Marietta women
in the station surroundings.
In the spring of 1912 flower seeds
were given to the school children
for garden contest in which Doro-
thy and Harry Lewis won the prizes.
In the fall of 1912 the grounds of
the Clarke Library were resown with
grass seed and a privet hedge set
out. In the spring of 1913 the
flowers in the park were set out by
the league under the supervision of
Mrs. Morgan Mcneil and Mrs. FRED
Morris. A small triangle near the
railroad on Powder Springs street
was made into flower bed.
In the fall of 1913 the league Sc
cured a Redpath Lyceum Course
which has been given the past win
ter. In November an art exhibition
was held in the High School and
the receipts of $500 were spent for
pictures for the school rooms. Thu
Clarke Library was given $500 for
books and magazines and dozen fine
trash cans costing $4,000 were
placed around the square.
Cleanup Day" was observed
twice during 1913 and good work
was done under the personal direc-
ton of some of our members.
During the past two years the
league has expended $4,000 and
has $177.00 in the bank. 1t has

THE GOOD ROADS BILL

N. C. Napier in Walker County
Messenger.
The most important act of con-
gress last week in my belief to the
whole country at large, and GER
tainly for the rural sections Of the
country, was the passage by the
house of the Good Roads bill, ap-
propriating 100000 each year to
states of the union for the construc-
ton of roads. If this bill passes the
senate, Georgia will receive some
thing over 100000 annually as her
share of this fund from the national
government
The passage of this bill is a very
happy realization of the hopes of the
seventies representative, Gordon
Lee, and is a vindication of his far
sightedness and keen judgement of
Justice to the farmers of the coun-
try. 1t is one of the growing "a
ehievements of his very faithful ser
vice to the people of the district.
do not mean by this that Mr. Lee
is entitled to all the credit for the
passage of this bill, but | do mean
that he is one among the four or five
congressman now in the house to
whom the great bulk of the credit
for this important measure shouldgo.
Mr.. Lee is one of the pioneers who
demanded this legislation and for
years has been hammering away on
this his pet measure session after
session calling the attention of con-
gress to the justice of such a bill.
Soon after he entered congress he
introduced bill along similar lines
to the one that was passed last week
by the overwhelming majority of
2S2 to AZ. At that time his bill was
considered by the majority of people
as extremely visionary. and as more
hot air. than anything else, de-
signed to catch the farmers vote.
But Mr.. Lee was neither discouraged
nor dishearted and he has seen the
number of Congressman who favored
such legislation steadily increase
from year to year until the begin
ing of the present session he very
confidently predicted the passage OF
Good Roads Bill.

HISTORICAL LITTLE RATCHET

Mr.. Murray Weems, of Marietta,
is a great. great grandson of the
Rev. Mason Locke Weems, who was
once rector of Mount Vernon Parish
and therefore pastor of George
Washingten's father and mother. He
vas the author of Life of George
Washington and is believed to have
started the story of the Ratchet and
the cherry tree. 1t is interesting in
this connection TO read a recent
story resulting from the one M.
Weems ia credited with. Recently
in northern city prominent mao
made a talk to room full Of school
boys oR the character of George
Washington. In the course of his
remarks the man asked How many
Of you would like to have the repu-
cation for truth-telling that Wash
ingtoR ,haA?"
OF course the boys all would and
the man continued" I'll give you a
Shance then. How many of you
smoke cigarettes?"
The boys were game and admitted
they did and in few days were call
ed before the recorder to tell where
they bought their cigarettes and
eighteen dealers were fined $1,000
apiece on the information thus OBJ
tanned So the little Ratchet can
yet be instrumental in up roofing
the security of some evil-doers.

MI. punnett,s Announcement.

The announcement that Alexander
Dunnett of st. Johnsbury would be a
candidate for Congress from the second
district il easily the most significant
political news that has come from the
east side this summer.
Ii means that the Republicans of that
district viii have chance TO vote for
man of marked intellectual power, leg
slator of proved ability, a public officer
OF integrity and efficiency. candidate
whose public and private life have dem.
onstrated his positive and unquestioned
fitness for the Office
Even though the field already includes
John W. Gordon OF Barre, Porter FL.
Dale OF Island Pond and possibly Walter
Husband and w. J, Bigelow of Mr.. Dun
nett's home town, the anticipated result
OF this more recent announcement would
seem to be a concentration of the forces
of his friends in st. Iohnshury and Cal
edonia county, with the probability that
Mr.. Dunnett would Immediately become
a leading candidate.
Mr. Dunnett is eminently fitted to rep
resent the second district in an able
manner, while his knowledge Of public
affairs and his experience in legislative
and legal matters would appear TO be
an invaluable asset for the congressman
from the east side.-Rutland Herald.

The Shoe Industry.

Here in New England the possible or
probs BILE effect OF the European war
upon the shoe manufacturing industry is
OF very great Importance, and there has
been tendency to take a pessimistic
view of the situation. One of Boston's
leading financial experts told the New
York World that New England is bound
to be hit hard in her boot and shoe in
dustry because the European demand Is
going to fall of so heavily.
In the eleven months of the last fiscal
year, ending May 80, the total value of
our boots and shoes was Sl6,6lT 900
which was substantially the same as in
the corresponding period in the previous
year and far ahead Of the results achiev'
ed in 1912. Obviously this is an inn
portant item in our export trade, but il
is desirable to note where this trade
goes. The New York Commercial has
looked up the figures and finds that Of
this total Europe took s4,3l2.O0o, but as
we viii be cut off from only part of
this European business, il is probable
that our exports will amount TO at least
S2,000,000 worth Of boots and shoes.
without taking account Of such bust
ness as viii come our way in the shape
of army contracts The chances are.
therefore, that the army contracts will
more than make up the loss Of trade in
other classes OF footwear sold in Europe.
The Commercial goes on to show that
Cuba alone buys more shoes in the
United states than any other country
in the world. Next 70 Cuba comes Can
ada Canada and Cubs together bought
about s6.O00,O00 worth Of shoes and the
rest Of our sales abroad were 10 Latin
American Republics. The Philippine
Islands and about half a million dollars
10 saH other Countries Argentina.
Chill. Brazil and Mexico have always
bought high class footwear for women
in Europe. AZ the position Of the boot
and shoe makers strikes the trade sx-
perts with whom the New York Com
nerciai il in touch. the proha bilities are
that these manufacturers vii b. one q
