FIFTEEN YEARS

Slayer of Cosby Bishop From PEN
atty i'm DeKalb Court.

ATLANTA c. Chewing,
the admitted slayer of Cosby Bishop,
was found guilty of voluntary man
slaughter Thurday, and sentenced to
serve Is years in the penitentiary
Chewing freely admitted shooting
Bishop with a shotgun and then with
a revolver in a grocery store at Scott
dale July Z, but went to the jury with
the plea that his act was fully justi-
fed because Bishop had wrecked his
home. This plea was dwelt upon at
length by Chewning's attorneys. The
prosecution contended that Chewing
had never proven any of the alleged
relations of Bishop with Chewing s
wife.
Chewing made a dramatic state
ment to the jury.
Il took his life" he told the jury,
because | knew from my wife's con-
fession and from knowledge of Bish-
ops notorious reputation with mar
ried women that if l did not Stay
him he would continue to pursue her.
I took his life that my wife might
be safe from such a man as he.
took his life that I might know that
had kept the vow I made when
took the girl l loved from the house
of her mother-the VOW that | would
shield and protect her. l was simply
doing what you or any other man
would do"

The commissioners report shows
that the quantity of distilled spirits

year was approximately 100000
gallons less, than in the fiscal year

FACTOR IS NOT LIABLE.
TO COTTON CUSTOMERS. SAYS
THE COURT OF APPEALS.
When Factors Sell Cotton at Lower
Prices Than Expected. A Far
Reaching Decision.

ATLANTA.-Cotton factors are
not liable for damages to their GUS
toners when they sell cotton con-
signed to them for sale at lower
prices than their customers instruc-
lions, if such sale was made after
their customers have failed to COM
ply with their demands for additional
margins, and where, in the opinion
of the factors, the cotton is not suf-
ficient security.
Such in effect is the ruling of the
state court of appeals in reversing
the city court of Sylvania in the case
of Letter & Co. VS.. Pearson & Son.
The head note of the appellate
courts decision, which makes the
ruling clear, is as follows:
Where cotton factors sued GUS
toners for advances made on cotton
consigned to them for sale custom
ers could not set off damages be-
cause of sale of cotton for a lower
price than they had instructed it
sold for, where, in accordance with
the general custom and usage of
trade at the place of sale the cot
ton was sold after the customers
had failed to comply with repeated
notices from the factors to deposit
with them more margins and where,
in the opinion of the factors the cot
ton was not sufficient security for
the balance due them"

PREDICT HIGH COTTON
EUGENE G. SCALES SAYS IT WILL
SOON BRING FIFTEEN CENTS.
Declares Farmers Who Are Selling at
Present Prices Are RObbing Their
Wives and Children.

NEW YORK.-Eugene c. Scales,
who operated with James A. Patten
in the 1909 cotton pool as a member
of the so-called big Four" and who
was reputed to have made and lost a
fortune of SIC, 100000, is a bull in
the present cotton market.
THE cotton mills are not loaded
up with cotton, and neither are the
merchants, wholesalers or retailers.
They are all carrying the minimum of
cotton in stock. These people must
buy eventually. In addition Europe
will use a great deal more cotton in
the next few years than she used in
the last few years. Things once
made Of silk in Europe will be made
of cotton after the war is over. My
idea is that the stocks of dry goods
throughout the world are down to
low ebb, other countries being worse
off than America.
''Now, l am not going to advise
farmers what to do with their cot
ton," he replied. II can only give
them my idea of the future price. |
am firmly convinced that the present
price is ridiculously low, and those
farmers who are selling cotton at
present prices are deceiving no one
but themselves, and are robbing no
one but their own wives and chill
dren.
In my opinion cotton during this
season will sell very high-how high
| do not believe any cotton man can
guess within cents a pound. 1t will
go cents a pound higher than the
normal range of vision of even an OPP
timist.
What l say, of course, is on the
assumption that the war will continue
for another year or two do not be-
lieve there is a man living who would
be willing to be short of cotton over
night at 10 cents a ound II he knew
that peace would be declared. You
can say for me, however, that l per-
sonaIly would not be short and guar
antee to stay short one month after
peace was declared even if the price
we're Is cents a pound. If peace were
declared Germany and Austria would
want 100000 bales of this crop,
an amount. too large to give them out
of a crop of only 100000 bales.
Cotton would leap, not by points, but
by cents

TO STIMULATE

the fact that the recent state legis-

$4,000 and $4,000 will be apportion-
ed within the next few days by State
Highway Commissioner George Noble
to the counties from which automo-
,ile tax was collected during the
month Of July About this amount
vas collected in that month and the
aFportionment of the fund must be
made monthly. Ten per cent of the
total amount is retained by the state
and 80 per cent is sent back to the
counties. Twenty-Five per cent of
his amount is then divided among
the cities of the first class or those
under commission form of govern
ment in the county, and the balance
is then put in the county treasury and
used on the state roads.
There is probably 100000 now in
the hands of the state highway com
missioner awaiting apportionment and
this will be made just as soon as the
monthly collections can be computed
and segregated. The employees in the

When you wake up with backache and

Meat forms uric acid which overworks

get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have bacSache, sick headache,
dizzy spellss your stomach sours, tongue

Common garden sage brewed into

added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop

the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at

way is to get the ready-to.use tonic, cost
ing about so cents a large bottle, at
drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage

a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth

darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge OF soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,

morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
