MRS, SMITH HAS CAUSE OF
ACTION AGAINST SHERIFF.
Can Sue for Damages for Killing of
Husband by Deputy Now Serv-
ing in Terrell County.

MACON, Ga.-By a decision of the
court of appeals sustaining the decis-
ion of Judge Robert Hodges the de-
tails of the killing of R. B. Smith, a
Jones county farmer, by William b.
Norton, a deputy sheriff under for
mer Sheriff George B. Robertson, will
be gone over in the city court.
Mrs. Smith claims that Norton, at
the time he killed her husband, was
under the influence of liquor, and
that Sheriff Robertson was guilty of
negligence in that he either knew or
should have known Norton's condi-
ton.
Mrs. Smith has sued the former
sheriff and his bOndsmen, an eastern
firm, for $40, 900 damages. The de-
PENDANTS, some time ago, filed a gen
eral demurrer, declaring that the
plaintiffs had no cause for action.
Judge Hodges overruled this, and the
defendants took the case to the high
er court.
Norton is now in Terrell county
serving a life sentence for killing
Smith.

EVER SEE ''ONE STELLA, OR
400 CENTS?" IT'S A GOLD COIN
Chattanooga Young Lady Exhibited
One in Atlanta Recently.

ATLANTA.-Did you ever see
gold coin of Uncle Sans mintage of
the 81 denomination? Probaly not,
for there are only few left in the
world, but Atlantans had an oppor-
tunity to see one the other day sus-
pended from q necklace worn by a
young lady from Chattanooga.
1t was minted in 1879, and be-
cause of it's rarity is valued at over
800. In size it is but a fractic n
smaller than the yellow metal of the
IS denomination. On the reverse
side are the words, "E Pluribus
Unum," and the more unfamiliar
''Deo est gloria In the center of
the coin is a five point star and with
in this star are the words 'One Stella
or 400 Cents"
On the diverse side appears the
head of Liberty with an inscription
indicating the composition and
weight of the coin, which is seven
grams. The date, which is 1879, al
so appears on this side.

DEATH TOLL OF STORM
WAS HEAVY OUT IN TEXAS
Many Millions of Property Were Also
DESTROYED by Hurricane.

GALVESTON, Textile known
loss of life in the storm in southeast
ern Texas, which was the morst in
half century, totals about one hun
bred, and property loss of approx
mately thirty million dollars.
A hurricane struck the coast late
Monday, continuing until Wednesday
morning and attaining a velocity of
one hundred miles an hour as the
center passed between here and Hous-
ton Tuesday morning.
Gulf waters were swept inland,
twenty miles, annihilating several
small shore cities, many miles of
railroad tracks and bringing down
wires, causing an interruption of
communication with points in the af-
fected area.
The sea wall, which was built fol-
lowing the great flood of 1900, saved
Galveston from destruction, which, it
seems, would certainly have come
had it not been here.

A CORN HUSKER AND
AND SHELLER AT THE GIN
Eastman Is Going to Help Farmer
Sell Something Besides Cotton.


Sell Something Besides Cotton.
w. L. Glessner, secretary of the
Eastman board of trade, writes the
Southern Cultivator as follows: Mr..
w. S. Miner is installing a corn
husker and shelter in connection with
his gin with which he proposes to put
the surplus corn crop in marketable
shape He will shell the corn, put in
standard sacks place these sacks in
a warehouse specially constructed for
the purpose and issue to the farmer
a receipt for his corn, the same as
he does for his cotton. When one
or more carloads are accumulated
buyers are notified, the receipts are
taken up and cashed and the farmer
has received cash for his corn at the
highest market price. This will en-
able the small grower to sell his crop
as advantageously as the large grow
err. The Eastman Chamber of Com
merce will keep in touch with the
markets and buyers and act as inter
mediary. 1t is expected to extend
this system to the handling of other
farm products, thus providing farm
ers with an immediate and profitable
market and encouraging. the diversl-
ficatiOn of crops.

MANGHAM PARDONED
AT WIFE'S BEDSIDE
Executive Clemency Is Granted to a
Wealthy Former Cotton Mill
Man of Griffin.

ATLANTA.-J. J. Mangham, con-
victed of embezzlement and of haV-
ing voted illegal dividends in connec-
ton with the failure of the Boyd
Mangham cotton mills, has been par
doned by Governor Harris.
Mangham, who was serving a five
years sentence, was notified that ex-
ecutive clemency had been extended
him while he, under guard, was at
the bedside of his wife, who is said
to be dying.
In announcing the pardon Govern
or Harris said:
After a thorough consideration of
this case | concur in the recOmmen-
dation of the prison commission. AL
so, since it has been represented to
me by DR.. Floyd McRae, of this city,
a reputable physician, that Mrs. Man
CHAM, the wife of the applicant, is
in very critical condition, lying at
the very point of death, and will not
live more than ~ hours unless there
is some extreme change in her con-
dition, and she begs that her hus-
band may be pardoned in order that II
she should die she may know before
her death that he is not laboring I'M
der any legal disabilities. Therefore,
in view of the above recommendation
and the petition of a large number of
citizens | think it will be well, under
the circumstances, to follow the
course recommended by the prison
commission and grant a pardon in
both cases."

ATLANTA GIRLS
TRYING EXPERIENCE
In Italy They Had Difficulty in Prov
ing They We're Not German Spies
With American Passports.

ATLANTA.-A party of Atlanta
girls and their parents, who have
recently returned from Italy, had
some trying experiences as suspected
German sympathizers or spies and
advise their American friends to con-
fine their travelling to this side of the
Atlantic until after the war is over
They say that while Italy is entire
ly' friendly with the United States
every Italian is a self-appointed spy
catcher and that since all foreign
languages sound like German to the
more ignorant classes no traveller is
immune from popular suspicion.
Officially, they say, Americans can
travel around as freely as ever, ex-
cept that they are not welcome in
the actual war zone but American
travellers find two inconvenience,
the native language and the pass
ports.
If one uses the first in public he
is taken for a German. Every Ital-
ian citizen, especially if he knows no
foreign language, is an assistant
spy catcher" Americans speak a
tongue, so the American has
to produce his passport many times.
And even this does not always satisfy
his inquisitors. Often an American
showing his passport is met with

A CEMETERY FOR DOGS
PATRONIZED BY SOCIETY FOLK
Many Costly Funerals of Pet CANNES
in Milwaukee's Special Plot.

Milwaukee has a cemetery for dogs
that is patronized by society people
who are willing to spend $40 or more
for a funeral place for their pets.
Just how many dogs there are in the
cemetery is kept secret, but from the
mounds visible there must be at least
100.
The average cost of burying a dog
is about $40. Some people spend
much more. Teddy Miller, a rat ter
rier, holds the record in Milwaukee
for having the largest funeral, as
we'll as the largest dog monument.
When Teddy was buried seven car
riages made up the funeral process
sion, one filled with flowers. The
other carriages were filled with his
masters and mistresses and friends of
the family, all dressed in deepest
mourning.

POINTS ON HOG RAISING
L. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULT-
URE MAKES SUGGESTIONS.
Recommends Bur Clover for Making
Good Pasturage. Cant Feed All
Corn or Let Hogs Run Ont.

Recommends bur CIOboF IOF W"n1IS
Good Pasturage. Cant Feed All
Corn or Let Hogs Run Out.
This is the beginning of the hog
year." an ideal time to begin plant
ing pasture crops if you want to raise
cheap meat. 1t is an established fact
that we can never hope to make any
money by raising a bunch of hogs IN
a lot by feeding corn alone or by let
ting them run in branches, ponds and
bare pastures. We have tried this
without good results, so now let US
try another way.
Bur Clover.
Buy four bushels of bur clover
seed and SOW on one rich acre Of
land. This of course will not give all
the pasture of this kind needed for
a large bunch of hogs, but it will be
sufficient for a small number and If
the hogs are taken off about the mid
die of April you can get enough seed
to SOW several acres another year.
These seed will cost $1.25 per bushel,
which would make sowing large
acreage a little expensive for the
time. We can raise the seed much
more cheaply than we can buy them,
but of course if the money to buy
them is available it is far from being
wasteful to invest in larger guam
tity, as there is always ready mar
ket for all seed that can be raised.
The seed should not be plowed in,
but just sown on top of the ground
without either breaking or harrow
ing. However, if an application of
lime is used this should be narrowed
in. An application of three tons per
acre will pay on most of the soils of
tn country for this crop.
