(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Nov. PA news dispatch
from Athens says that the Servian le-
cation there has officially denied that
the Austrians have been gaining great
victories against the Servian forces for
the past two weeks. They state that
no important encounters have taken
place between the two forces in a
fortnight, and that the only engage
ments resulted in victories by the Ser
Wan troops.
This bit of authentic news from Ath-
ems sets to rest the reports supposed
ly emanating from official sources in

KANGAROO COURT
in fulton JAIL

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 21.-In the Full
ton county tower the winter season has
brought about revival of the kan
garoo court" before which every new
prisoner must stand trial, and all this
week the court has been doing a rush
ing business. The judge is big black
negro prisoner, and the court attaches
are all of an equally dusky hue. Ev-
cry new niger" who arrives is i'm
mediately tried for the offense of
breaking into Jail and is always con-
victed on prima facie evidence and set
to work, sweeping the floors or doing
other work.
The court has grown beyond a joke,
however. It is a tribunal which i'm
pose punishment for infractions of Jail
discipline, and "sins on the inside" A
prisoner caught stealing tobacco or
food from another who refuses to do
his share of the work is tried, con-
victed, sentenced, and taken down over
a chair and given a rousing whipping.
The order is far better since the court
was inaugurated, Jail officials state.

Americus gunners, despite the freez-

Friday and went forth to slaugh-
ter poor Bob White and his family of
twenty or thirty members, with malice
aforethought and diabolical delibera-
ton. But the high winds prevailing
saved Bob's plumage for the time, at
least ,as reports from the bid fields
told of Indifferent success. The part
ridges kept to the woods and covered

their way into the gunners' bags, the
result was not up to expectations on

LONDON, Nov. 21.-The Belgian

from Charleroi, saying that a large

1t is known that the death toll ex-
acted by Mars, the god of war, has
been especially heavy on the Germans.
Their manenuverings around User

them. The fact that the furnace is
working overtime" caring for the
dead substantiates the claims of earlier
dispatches.

$4,000, 900 bushels, while the United
States with crop Of 95.000.O00 bush
