The tirSt phase OF the inquiry VIII
deal with circumstances under which
the late Federal Judge John Jackson
quit the bench In 1905. Dayton sue
ceeded Jackson, who was appointed
by Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and who
refused to resign up to 1906.
One Of the questions concerning
which. the congressional committee
is authorized to inquire is whether
Dayton unlawfully conspired with
several corporations and individuals
to bring about the removal from of
fee Of the late John J. Jackson"
Attorney A. ~ Belcher for the
United Mine Workers today an
nounced that he and his associates
win attempt to show that a railroad
corporation started a campaign that
ultimately forced Jackson from the
bench. Jackson was summering in
Atlantic City, N. J., said Belcher,
when he was confronted with chRrg-
es that connected him with q woman.
"She is very prominent in West
Virginia" the attorney continued,
and we win make every effort to
keep her name out of the testimony"
Judge Jackson protested his inno-
cence, Belcher declared, and enlisted
friends in his cause, They promised
to secure afhdaVits to clear his name.
The Judge waited in a hotel at RAJ
leigh, w. Va, but hours passed and
he heard nothing. It developed later,
Belcher declared today, that the
Judges friends attempted to tele-
phone him that their efforts had sue
ceeded but for obvious reasons, which,
wiz be brought out in the hearing
the telephone would not work. A few.
hours later the friends arrived at the
hotel with the afldavits, but Judge
Jackson had already surmised that
their efforts to gather proof had
failed and he had resigned.

PRETTY Home WEDDING
MANY GUESTS WITNESS CHEAT
HAM-CARVER NUPTIALS.
The Display of Wedding Gifts Was
Beyond Description. Couple Are
On Two Weeks Bridal Tour.


OF more than ordinary interest
was the wedding of Miss Ruth Cheat
ham and Mr.. Rogers Carver, the
event being solemnized Wednesday
evening at 1880 at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. J. A Shields. That all the
world loves a lover" goes without
saying, but likewise that "all the
world loves a wedding" was proven
by the immense throng that filled the
house in spite of rain and mud. On
the veranda Mr.. Shields met the
guests. They were conducted to the
punch bowl on the east porch by
Misses Carolyn Geise, Lille Locke,
Willie Chappell and Margaret Jenk
ms, a house guest. In the reception
hall were Mesdames Guy Chappell,
w. A. Davidson, w. H. Gurr and T.
B. Raines. Mrs. w. A. McLain and
Mrs. T. C. Geise stood at the foot of
the winding stairway and showed the
guests to the dressing room. On the
upper floor were Mrs. J. P. Perry,
Mrs. X. S. Worthy and Others
The decorative scheme was simple
but elegant. The reception hall was
in green with ferns and ported plants,
and the library in green and yellow
with a combination of ferns and giant
chrysanthemums.
The dining room table was covered
with a cluny centerpiece with a cen
trail decoration of white chrysanthe-
NUNS and ferns tied with pink satin
ribbon and tulle intertwlned, which
also adorned the chandelier. Cut
glass COMFORTS contained pink bon
bons and sailed almonds. In a prom
inent corner reposed the wedding
cake, embossed in pink and white
flowers, and in its center stood kew
pie bride and groom, the former car
ryfhg a cluster of orange blossoms,
and the latter in conventional black.
After the ceremony the cake was cut,
and all who had long since lost faith
in signs had these revived when Miss
Marion Edwards, whose wedding has
been announced for November, cut
the ring. The other tokens fell to
Miss Louise McNulty, Miss Nellie
Laing and Miss Mamie Locke.
Before the entrance of the bridal
party Miss Nellie Laing sang Very
sweetly "All For You The party
entered the parlOr to the strains of
Mendelssohn' wedding march pi9y-
ed by Mrs. w. F. Sherman. In the
room was an improvised altar of
palms and ferns, with clusters OF
gigantic white chrysanthemums
banked against the mantel. Miss Sa-
rah McLain was the first to enter,
wearing a beautiful creation of white
and carrying, as did all the attend
ants, a white brocaded muff covered
with pink roses and valley lilies.
Next came Miss Marion Edwards,
then followed Miss Carrie Blount of

LEESBURG, Ga.-The Lee county
fair opened here with large crowds
attending despite inclement weather.
The fair was formally opened with
an address by Col. G. r. Forester.
At II O'Clock Congressman G. r.
Crisp spoke to an enthusiastic crowd
of several hundred. His speech gen
orally was on the line of immigra-
ton, he being opposed to the law
now in force. His speech was well re-
ceived, and the crowd was with him.
Mr.. Crisp was followed by State
School Superintendent NJ. L. Britain,
who spoke on educational lines.
The exhibits of cattle, stock and
poultry were among the best ever
seen in Southwest Georgia, showing
that Lee county cannot be surpassed
in agricultural lines.
The domestic, art and educational
exhibits cannot be surpassed by any
county in Georgia, visitors from sur
rounding counties stating they were
the best ever seen in this section.
One of the special features of the
fair was the masquerade ball. The
brass band from Brentwood furnished
music. The fair closed Saturday
night.

The broken promises that con-

The more certain person is the

We all think too much of money
and too little of the things it will
do.
You'll get further by steady

at conclusions.

The chief industry is fishing, in
which six wholesale firms with 300
or more men are engaged. Capt.
tai invested in the business is es-
timated at $4,000, and large
shipments of fish on ice are made
almost daily during the fishing
seasons. The bulk of the fish
shipped are mullet, but many
pompano, Spanish mackerel, bass,
trout, sheep-head, snapper and
other fine food fish are shipped,
The oyster business is small.
Next to fishing, the cultivation
of fancy pineapples engages most
attention, as the profits of this
industry often reach $500 an acre.
