AN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
Believed by Congressman That the
Speer Investigating Committee
Will Recommend One.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FitzHenry and Volstead of the Speer
investigating committee have return
ed to Washington, but decline to
forecast the recommendation of the
committee. Representative Webb
stopped off at his home in North
Carolina.
Belief is general here among the
members of congress that there will
be an impeachment trial. At least
one or two members have expressed
the belief that they may as well
prepare to spend another long, hot
summer in the nations torrid CAPT.
tai.
Representative Volstead was
charged in a Georgia paper with be-
ing prosper during the testimony.
He said today that the statement
must have arisen from the line of
questions he propounded during the
testimony, stating that as much of it
was heresay he Intercepted care
fully and pointedly. He believes
that much of the testimony will be
discounted by the explanation of ap-
parent discrepancies and production
of the court records. He would not
express an opinion, however, on the
testimony as a whole.

ROAM WILL NOT SEEK REFLECTION
Said That Judge Will Retire From
Court of Appeals Because of the
Condition of His Eyes.

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah Morning News, Fred Lew
is, says the state court of appeals
appears to be about the only state
institution around which there cen
tiers any political gossip at the pres
ent time. There comes now the re-
port that Judge l.. S. Roam, recently
appointed to this bench by Governor
Slaton to succeed Judge Ben H. Hill,
will not be candidate for reelection.
Judge Roam has made no definite an
nouncement to this effect, but it APP
pears to be pretty well understood
among his friends that he will not
run.
The condition of Judge Roan's eyes
is said to be responsible for his de-
termination. Judge Roam would like
very much to remain on the court
of appeals bench, and would doubt
less be a candidate for a full term
were it not that the condition of his
eyes is such that he feels he must
not hazard them in the court work
which is quite trying.
This will leave practically an open
which Judge Roam now holds and for
field for the position on the bench
which Recorder Nash r. Broyles re-
Gently announced. While there have
been no other announcements as yet
for this place Representative R. B.
Blackburn of Fulton is thinking very
strongly of running, and, it is said,
there may be even third announce
ment.
Then there will be a race for the
position on this bench made vacant
by the resignation of Judge j. r.
Pottle, and to which the governor
has appointed Col. Wade of Dublin.
So far no evidence of opposition to
Judge R. B. Russell, presiding judge
of the court, has developed. While
he has not, of course, passed the
danger line his friends appear to
think n the absence even of any talk
to the contrary he will have things
all his own way when he offers for
reelection.

Pine Tree FELL ON auto HOOD
Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers, Driving in
Brooks County, Missed Death by
Foot When Car Is Crushed.

BROWNSVILLE, Ga.-Friday af-
ternoon while coming to Thomasville
from Brooks county Mr.. and Mrs
John T. Chambers missed death by a
very narrow margin. They were in
Mr.. Chambers automobile when a
tree fell across the road, the trunk
striking the hood of the auto just
about a foot from where Mr.. and
Mrs. Chambers sat. The blow was
such a severe one that it completely
demolished the front of the car,
breaking the engine and tearing
away the front wheels and axle.
The convicts were digging up the
tree and it was about ready to fall
when Mr. and Mrs. Chambers came
along. The guard states that he saw
them too late, he thought, to warn
them and thought it best to let them
get by, believing that the tree would
not hit them. A gentleman was driv-
ing just behind them and hollered
when he saw their danger, and it is
probable that the Stacking momenta-
rily of the car at this moment saved
their lives.

SOLD MALT TONIC; FINED
Sixteen Merchants of Colquitt Coun-
ty Plead Guilty and Fines Range
From Costs to $3.50 Each.

MOULTRIE.-Afte 16 prominent
merchants had entered pleas of gull
ty to indictments charging them with
unlawful sale of malt tonic, a bever-
age that a chemical analysis showed
contained more than 4 per cent alco-
hol and which a large number of
witnesses swore would produce in
toxication, Judge Thomas imposed
sentence upon five of the defendants
of $3.50 each or a term of II months
on the changing. Four more were
given fines of 500 each or -
months on the gang.
The others were ordered to pay
the court costs. Judge Thomas stat
ed that he was moved to showing
leniency to part of the defendants
because they operated country stores
and did not know that it was viola
ton Of the law to sell the tonic and
had ceased dealing in it. c. E. and
J. E. Holmes, William Rowell, J. H.
Plair and J. B. Boatwright were
those receiving a fine of $3.50, while
Al and Cliff Shepherd, L. P. Wallace
and E. w. Brown drew fines of 500
each. c. E. and ]. E. Holmes were
the wholesale distributors Of the
tonic.

COFFIN SHIPPED VIA PARCEL POST
Undertaken Rainey of EatontOE Is
the Sender of Unique Article.
For a ChiId's Funeral.

EATONTON.-U n. w.
Rainey of this city probably enjoys
the distinction of being the first
American to use the parcel post for
shipping coffin.
Walking into the postoffice on JEFF
ferson street with a rather grue-
somely shaped package under his
arm Eatonton's postmaster eyed him
suspiciously and for time seemed
inclined to close up shop rather than
relieve Undertaken Rainey of his
package presented at the parcel post
window. Piled with the usual ques-
tions regarding the shipment of pack
ages the postmaster seemed to be
playing for time to delay handling
Mr.. Rainey's package. Finding,
however, that it complied with the
law as to length, width and postage
the coffin was duly deposited and left
in the hands of the postmaster and
his clerks, both of whom happen to
be ladies.
That it reached it's destination
safely is certain from the fact that
funeral followed the arrival of the
mail. The coffin was for a small
child that died several miles below
Eatonton.

HAS 100000 TIED UP
A. ID. Oliver Says He Has That Sum
in the Bankruptcy Court. Will
Open Bank in Americas.

AMERICUS.-A. D. Oliver, who
recently got out of the Mississippi
penitentiary by proving that he was
not C. L. Harding, as whom he was
serving out four year term, stated
today here that just as soon as ne can
get out of the bankruptcy courts he
is going to open a loan and trust
company in Americas.
Oliver says that he has about
100000 that is held up on him be-
cause of the bankruptcy proceedings
he is now involved in, but that it
will be clear as soon as the legal pro-
ceedings are done.
He said that if he could do it he
would buy out the depositors in the
Americas National bank, which clos
ed it's doors here recently.
Oliver, in operating around Gil
mas several years ago, believed TO
have been merely a get-rich-quick
swindler, got the people sore on him
and after getting out of many suits
instituted against him he was finally
sent up for four years on bigamy
charge and after being released was
sent to prison in Mississippi to serve
out a term for G.. L. Harding, who es-
capped the officers of that state.
Oliver proved that he was not
Harding, and now states that some
body is going to sweat for the time
he spent in Jail. Money seemed plen-
tiful with him.

December and a grating juncture
made with the lip base. The arm
was bound to the head until the
grating was complete. This con-

EXPECT LACEY TO PLEAD NOT GUILTY
Former Chief Clerk of Alabama Con-
vict Department Charged With
EmbezzIement of 500. 900.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.-It is I'M
derstood that Theodore Lacey, for
mer chief clerk of the convict depart
ment of Alabama, held in Jail on four
indictments charging embezzlement
of 1000, will enter a plea of not
guilty when he is arraigned. The
statement is made that he may con-
tend that he drew the money out of
local banks on checks properly sign
ed by the correct official who should
have signed them. This plan OF pro-
cedure is understood to be what will
be followed, but neither him nor his
attorneys will talk.
Hearing for a reduction of the
bond from $4,000 to $25, 900 re-
suited in a reduction to $4,000.
Lacey exhibits a desire to tell all
he knows about the alleged defalca-
ton, as has been urged by Governor
O'Neal, but his attorneys have sealed
his lips for the present. Lacey has
been locked up in a cell in the prison
and is not allowed even the few lib
critics and luXuries at first permitted
him.

DOCTORS BUILDING BRAND
NEW FACE ON THIS MAN
Young Canadian Is Undergoing Series OF Operations In
Baltimore Hospital. Is Successful So Far.

The same procedure was followed
in the upper lip treatment, a section
of the arm flesh being grated across
the upper gum and the arm strapped
to Aliens head and shoulders until
this section too had taken hold.
When Allen accumulates sufficient
strength for another operation the
surgeons will try to build him new
nose.
1t is planned to cut away piece
of healthy cartilage from one of his
ribs at the junction with the breast
bone, shape it to the form Of nose
with the nostril openings and insert
it in the place of the missing organ.
The skin, which will have been pre-
viously slit for the insertion of the
substitute bone is then to be drawn
over the cartilage and healing
awaited.
1t is expected that the cartilage
will adhere to the facial bones and
in time become an integral part of
the skull structure.
