FOR TERRELL'S GOOD
PLAN OBSERVANCE OF GEORGIA DAY
United Daughters of COnfederacy
Have Enjoyable Meeting at Home
of President. The Program.

Of unusual interest was the regu
lar meeting of the Mary Brantley
Chapter United Daughters of the
Confederacy at the home of the pres
ident, Mrs. B. NJ. Davidson, Friday
afternoon. A large number of men,
bers were in attendance, and enthu-
siasm over the progress of patriotic
movements ran high as reports from
different committees were heard.
Plans looking to the observance of
Georgia Day were discussed, the spe
cial committee to arrange for this
occasion having matters well in hand
for appropriate exercises.
Committees at work soliciting
funds for a Confederate memorial
reported a hearty response from diff
ferent parts of the county, and wish
to express their appreciation OF the
interest manifested. 1t is the pur-
pose of the chapter to enlist the
school children in this cause in order
that they may grow up with cor
rect knowledge of the South's part
in the making of history.
After the business session a pro-
gram entertaining, inspiring and edu-
cative gave food for earnest thought.
The opening number, an old South
ern melody by Miss Phoebe Laing,
seemed to touch a tender chord and
made each heart receptive to the
truths brought out in the study:

LINWOOD LUNDY NOT GUILTY
Former Terrell County Boy Freed of
Murder Charge After Hard Legal
Battle at Sylvester

After ten hours elaboration the
Jury in the Linwood w. Lunday case,
at Sylvester, returned verdict OF
mot guilty" thus completely exoner-
ating the defendant of any completely
whatever in the killing of Douglass
Bass last April, for which crime Lun-
day was jointly indicted with his
brother-in-law, Alva F. Short, the
latter having been tried some months
ago and sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
Lunday alleged an alabi and rested
his defnese solely upon that ground,
and the verdict of the jury sustained
his plea in spite of the evidence to
the contrary offered by the state.
The examination Of witnesses last
ed two days, and the argument for
many hours. Strong speeches were
made by counsel on both sides, and
at times the situation in the court
room was intensely dramatic. Since
Lundays confinement il prison last
April a son was born to him and his
Oldest boy, bright lad of five years,
died of diptheria after a short Ill
ness. hence it may be imagined that
much pathos permeated the appears
for his life and freedom.
Lunday was native of Terrell
county, being the son OF X. A. Lun-
day. who moved from here to worth
county some years ago.

LOWER RATE EFFECTIVE
SWEEPING REDUCTION IN EN-
PRESS COMPANY CHARGES.
In Many Cases the Cut Is as Much as
80 Per Cent. Rates Are Divided
Into Three Classes

In Many Cases the Cut Is as Much as
80 Per Cent. Rates Are Divided
Into Three Classes.
Accepting the order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission the
Southern Express Company on Sun
day, Feb. 1st, put into effect sweep
ing reduction in it's rates.
In many instances this reduction
is as much as so per cent. while on
the whole the cut will average 25
per cent.
AS an illustration of the extent of
the reductions in the charges the
rate on a five-pound package from
New York to Dawson has been re-
duced from rs to 81 cents, on ten
pound package from $1.1O to 54
cents, and on a 15-pound package
from $1.25 to rs cents. The former
100-pound rate was IS and the new
rate is $3.50.
The reduction applies only to
points without the state, the old rates
remaining in tact within the state.
The rates are divided into three
classes: First, second and third.
The first class rate applies on mer-
chandise. The second class rate ap-
plies on all articles of food or drink
and are rs per cent of the first rate.
Third class rates apply on calendars,
almanacs, books, etc.
The new rates are based on the
zone and block system, with the
country divided into flve separate
zones. Zone No. 1 takes in the East
ern states, zone No. the Southern
states, zone No. 8 the Middle West
ern states, zone No. 4 the Rocky
mountain states, and zone No. the
Pacific coast states. In turn these
zones are cut up into blocks, each
block being fifty miles square. In
this manner all of the Inconsistencies
in the rates in different sections of
the country that have sometimes
been complained of are eliminated.
The rates are now made easily I'M
derstood and place every section of
the country on an equal footing.
These rates, it is said, have been
adopted by the Southern Express
Company and the other express com
panies without legal resistance, and
will apply to or from any part of the
country, no matter which particular
company handles the shipment.
