mony to be introduced at that time, stating
that he wished to get through the case Mon
day, but that If the case was carried over to
Tuesday and Prof Pulliam could be brought
here, he might entertain a motion to allow the
boys to testify.
Vigorous objection to allowing the young
men to testify without the presence Of Prof.
Pulliam himself was made by Mr.. Watson
and his counsel Prof. Pulllam stated Sat

THIRD DAYS PROCEEDINGS OF MR. WAT
SONS CASE SHOW EFFORTS OF PROSE-
CUTION TO REOPEN CASE.


CUTION TO REOPEN CASE.
Mondays proceedings in the case against
Mr.. Watson, in the Federal Court in Augusta,
have been so we'll covered by The Augusta
Herald, We give in full their account IN their
Monday evening edition;
The taking Of testimony in the case of the
government VS. Mr.. Thomas +. Watson,
charged with violating section 211 of the
penal code came almost abruptly to close
at / 80 p. N. Monday, when Judge Lambdln
declined to adjourn over until Tuesday morn
inc 50 that Prof r. L. Pulliam Of Mercer
University might be brought back to testify.
The government had sought to discredit its
own witness. who testified Saturday, by
bringing to the stand two 19-yearold boys
who, according to District Attorney Donald
son, could read the Latin which Professor
Pullialn pronounced almost unintelhglbe.
When Mr.. Watson left the stand at
o'clock, Assistant District Attorney Wallace
Miller re-opened the question regarding FRO
fessor Pulliam and stated that telegram had
been sent to the professor to come back and
he had already left Macon. The defense OBJ
iected on the grounds that it was not falr TO
the defendant and was consuming the time
of the court and Jury Judge Lambdin, IN
his ruling, said that he thought it would be
unfair to the defendant and the case closed.
Arguments were expected to begin after
the recess for dinner. Assistant i. S. At
torney Wallace Miller is expected to open for
the government, to be followed by Mr.. W. II.
Fleming for the defense. Mr.. Watson him
self will speak in his own behalf next, while
District Attorney Donaldson will close for
the government. The case should go to the
jury Monday night.
A mild sensation was created soon after the
opening of the u. S. Court Monday morning
when District Attorney Donaldson, seeking
to discredit the testimony of Prof r. l.. Pull
liam Of the chair of Latin at Mercer Uni
versity, the governments own witness, asked
the court to be allowed to place two witnesses

The defense announced that it was content
and the jury Of twelve was complete.
Before Mr. North had qualified as juror
a strenuous attempt was made by the Govern
ment to reopen the Jarnagin case, that juror
having stated at the morning session that he
was incompetent because Of bias. The gov
eminent wished to question the Juror regard
ing his bias, but the court ruled that once hav-
ing been excused by the district attorney, the
matter could not be reopened and the juror
put back in standing in the case.

NEGRO UNDERTAKES WAR.

Natchez, Miss. Aug. 12.-Strife and
bitter warfare RACES among the col
ored undertakers of Natchez and so
high is the feeling among the rival
ushers to the unknown that serious
casualties are feared unless some
means is found to quell their belliger-
ent spirits.
For a long time past the Bluff City
Undertaking Company has enjoyed an
absolute monopoly of the business.
When some brother or sister high in
the ranks of the Dear Knights and
Ladies of Friendship or any of the
numerous societies that abound here,
was called to the unknown, this COM
pany officiated and the departed was
laid away with due pomp and circum-
stances without any untoward hap
pening to mar the occasion.
Recently the Natchez Colored I'm
dertaking Company, another colored
undertaking firm, established itself
here and instead of making an agree
ment with the older company as to
rates, Immediately announced that in
all funerals handled by it, embalminS
would be included free. To meet this
contingency the Bluff City company
has announced that it will not only
embalm free, but in large posters dis
tributed among the colOred pOpula
ton, announces a sweeping reduction
on the price of all collins; $25 fun
erals are marked down to $40; $50
funerals to $25. A portion of the an
nouncement reads as follows:
"Coffins heretofore sold at SO viii
be sold by us for IS; SIS collins fol
s12. These offers are made to all so
cieties as we'll as to individuals. II
you do not care to change your allow
ance for funerals, We will gladly ado
the amount of s. in value to YOU
funeral"
This situation has aroused the
greatest interest among the negroes
Excitement has reached such a pitcf
that at the death of the next promi
nent negro it will probably be nee
essary to call out the police.

BATHING SUITS AS
RAINY NIGHT GARB
Atlantic City Women Outwit Taxi
Jitney, and Roller Chair Men.

Atlantic City, Aug. II. - Visitors
have discovered a system to keep
down roller chair, taxicab and jitney
bus rates in times of stress.
Fully 5000 persons were caught on
the piers and in amusement places
when a terrific northeaster walloped
the coast without much warning.
Owners of conveyances Immediately
boosted prices, to the indignation of
persons without storm apparel.
Suddenly handsomely gowned
woman darted from the crowd on a
pier and sprinted across the board
walk into bath house. Ten minutes
later she came out in a bathing suit
She had checked her evening attire
for the night and calmly walked down
the Esplanade and let it rain.
Others took the cue and in an hour
the board walk looked like a bathing
party, hundreds of fashionable per
sons checking their evening attire
and walking to their cottages or no
tells in surf garb. Transportation rates
came down suddenly.

CALL PRZMYSL AND

May Be "Humurus" To Us, But Not

Spoilers.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE simplified
spelling bulletin came out today, with
complete details of the recent con-
quests of altered photography.
DR.. Melvil Dewey, on the bulletins
own showing, has sacrificed two let
tiers of his first name. The simplified
spoilers take occasion to defend PREF
,emysl because, after all, the Poles
pronounce it that way. Even Chrz-
aszcs, Polish for beetle" is phonetic,
and all right.
No less than 100 colleges of various
sorts approve the "amelioration OF
English, spelling, it is announced. One
hundred newspapers and periodicals
rejoice in spelling school, 'scool,
humorous "humurus" and "eny" and
such like amelioratiOns."
But so far the simplified spoilers
count all those as true adherents who
merely acquiesce in the new spelling
of the twelve words tho, altho,
thru, thruout, thoro, thoroly, thoro
fare, program, prolog, catalOg, decalog
and pedagog.

RATS IN BOLTON.

Bolton, Miss, Aug .12.-The in
crease in the number of rats through
out this section is becoming some
what alarming, and many complaints
are being heard from farmers and
poultrymen on account of the damage
done by them. Many are waging a
relentless war on the pests, but are
only partly acfe~to keep them in
check. Some of the largest specimens
recently caught here measured twelve
and fourteen inches long, including
the tail.
One day of the week will be spent
in cleaning up the town, and there
is no doubt but that the result will
give the whole place a very city
