A Street Thief
SnatChes Pocket Book

Mr.. C. C. Allie, of Moultrie,
here on business and pleasure,
had little experience last even
ing and this morning that he is
not likely to" soon forget. Mr..
Allie says last evening he met a
young man who said his name
was Williams; that he was dead
broke, with nothing to eat and
no place to stop and without the
money to pay for it. Mr.. Allie,
being tender-hearted, says he
paid Williams hotel bill, to say
nothing of near-beer he paid for
last evening and this morning.
This morning about $50 Will
liams paid back. his generosity"
to Mr.. Allie by snatching his
pocket-book from his hip pocket
and starting down South Grant
street on the run and Mr.. Allie
in hot pursuit, and after a run
of a block or two Mr.. Allie had
the man he had befriended by
the collar, but the thief did not
nave the pocket book; but after
a search through his clothes, he
found his money-$26.00. How
the thief got the money out of
the pocket book and then threw
the book away while on the run,
Mr.. Allie says is mystery to
him.
why didn't you bring the thief
back and turn him over to police,
Mr.. Allie?" was q question asked.
well, | thought man that
could do me" that way | would
let him go, was Mr.. Allies re-
ply.
1t seems mysterious that Mr..
Allie would let the thief go free,
whom he had befriended and
who had robbed him of $4,000.

APPEAL
ARGUED BEFORE
SUPREME COURT

Atlanta, July 27.-The Frank
case had ITS second inning in the
state supreme court Monday when
the court heard argument on the
bill of exceptions brought by Leo
M. Frank to the action of Judge
Ben H. Hill in overruling his ex-
traordlnarY motion for new trial.
Little new in the way of argument
was presented by either the attorn-
eys for the state or defense. The
defense sought to show evidence
which came into its possession af-
ter Franks trial was of such q
character as to entitle him to a
new trial. the state contended this
evidence did not warrant an over
turning of the verdict of the Jury
at the first trial.
The evidence adduced at the
hearing before Judge Hill was
reviewed by the attorneys. Frank
was represented by Attorneys
Luther Z. Rosser and Reuben r.
Arnold, aid the state by Solicitor
General Hugh N. Dorsey and At
torney General Warren Grice.
The argument lasted four hours
two hours to side. 1t will pro-
baby be several weeks before the
supreme Court renders its decision

WastefulEess.

The average wheat production per acre in Minnesota Is about thirteen bushels. yn Den nuark 1t is 3S; in Hol. land, 34: in EnglaEd. 32 bushels. Pol Iticians talk of the conservation of na- tional resources. What of the con. servation of soil values, the greatest asset the nation has? And what of the w2stefulness which extracts from the soil but one-third of the riches 1t Is capable of bearing? The prodigal- ity of congress, the wanton careless ness of cities, the improvidence of our 1pendthrifts are of minimum impor. tance compared with the agricultural waste in potential yields and the strange madness that changes annual ly thousands of prospectiyely good farmers into mediocre and sallow flat Gwellers..-Fublic Ledger.

OId.Time Punishments.

A mode of punishment in the early days was that of performing penance in church. Bishop Meade, in his His tory of the Virginia Church, tells how offenders would stand in church, wrapped in white sheets, with white wands in their hands. In 1881, in Sa- lem, Mass, two women were so adorned in white and placed on stools in the center of the aisle of the meet ing-house, having on their heads a paper bearing the name of their crime. A popular punishment for the drunk ard was to place him in large-sized barrel, with the bottom removed, and two places made on the sides for his hands to come through, and the victim of Bacchus thus walked through the streets with his head and legs alone showing from huge barrel

Of course, there are other influences. tho sun. for instance. exer- cising no mean force upon the tides; but the chief influence is attributable to the moon To be sure, there Is hardly any theory that is not objected to by somebody, but the theory that tidal action is due mainly to the pull of Luna may be accepted without . reasonable doubt"
