U. S. NOT DISCARDING
USE OF GEORGIA STONE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-That
Georgia marble and granite for use
in Government buildings will not be
discarded was the announcement
made by Congressman Howard, OF
Georgia, after long conference with
Acting Supervising Achitect Wetmore
in regard to the new order issued by
the Treasury Department that bricl,
will be used in facing and ornamental
trimmings in public buildings in future
instead of limestone and sandstone.
Mr. Howard was told that, while
the order might implicitly be con-
strued to exclude them, it was in
tended to apply only to an inferior
grade of marble materials, and that
the Georgia product had never been
found to be in that class.

LIBERALIZATION OF

ADJUTANT GENERAL MUCH
INTERESTED IN NEW RIL1
SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS.
BY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF NATIONAL GUARD.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 15.-

Adjutant General J. Van Holt Nash
one of the foremost advocates OF
military preparedness in Georgia was
much interested Monday in a state
ment of the action OF the executive
committee of the National Guard AS
ISOLATION of the United States in pre-
senting to the United States Senate
Military Committee, of which Senator
Chamberlain is chairman, compre-
hcnsive bill providing for the federali-
alton of the National Guard through
out the country.
The measure offered deals in de.
tail, with the four functions of Fed
eral control recognized under the
Constitution, viz: organization, arma-
ment, discipline (including training)
and government. 1t further arranges
for the training of school boys in a
Junior Guard" and for the establish
ment of rifle ranges and the supply

zens.
The plan is believed by General
| Nash to provide the means for over.

gives the President the right to draf

which may fail to raise a voluntee,

1t establishes uniform system O

which has been armed and equipped

The bill provides for the abolish.

and would create a militia section OF

the President by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to be COM

ANOTHER EFf0RT 10 Wharf
JUSTICE Bl0CkED
STANLEY and Ills Bunch Are
Again at Saa---WilI Have to
Send Another Bunch.

Last Friday was the day set
for the trial of the Kirk Samp-
son contest case. and Kirk was
on the scene with his attorneys
as was also Judge Sisco of Car
ter county. The case was called
on Friday morning. and no sooner
was the Judge upon the bench
than he was confronted with an
affidavit setting forth the fact
that he was a friend to Judge
Kirk in the primary and demand
ing that he vacate. Judge
SciscO denied that he was a
friend to Judge Kirk. and said
that he had no feelings in the
case, but that he did not want to
try any mans case where his
honesty was questioned.
Judge SIMPSONS attorneys
We're ready for the emergency,

affidavit of nopln who swOre
that Judge ST. % was out in the
fight for Judg Kirk, and that
he did make o. light for him in

partner, 5. Monroe Nichols who
had gotten out a circular Just
before the election stating that
Kirk is the only man to beat
Sampson. "
1t is a certainty that Governor
Stanley has made up his mind
that Judge Sampson shall be de-
feated in his race for Appellate
Judge, if il is in his power to do
80. He is not only dominating
his own party. but he is trying
to say who the candidate shall
be of the Republican party. He
has designated several Judges to
try this case, and all of them
have either been sick, or they
have been the friend of Judge
Kirk. Why does not Governor
Stanley appoint some one from .
the other end Of the State to |
come here TO try this case, that |
has no axe to grind? Why is it |
that he wants some one who !
lives in the Seventh Appellate
district to try this case; one who
has taken a part in the election
against Judge Sampson? 1t is
easy to tell if YOU can see an
inch before your nose, Stanley
knows that Judge Sampson is
against the liquor interests; he
knows that Sampson is for the
common man; he knows that no
man has a collar around Samp-
sons neck; he knows that if .
Sampson is elected Judge of the
Court of Appeals, these fellows
who do things as they choose,
whether it is law or not, will
have to go up against a man
who will do his duty without
favor. These are some of the
reasons he appoints a man to
try the case who knows what he

OF Morgan county, IL was NOT
necessary, it seemed that Kirk
and the whole bunch had smell
I'd the mouse" that was in
hiding, and the Judge as soon as
he had read the affidavit of
Judge Sampson meekly with
drew from the case with the
statement that he did not want
to try the case.
1t was at the time that the
Judge declined to try the case
that Judge O'Rear arose and
complimented Judge Sisco by
telling him that He was a bet
ter man than he thought he
Was" Many others thought the
same thing, as they thought
that Judge Sisco had come TO try
the case at all hazards. but see
ing that Sampson had the goods
on him he then declined. Others
thought that he would over-rule
the motion to vacate and try the
case, and this struck Judge
. O'Rear so forcibly that he was
compelled to say that Judge
Sisco was "a much better man
than he thought he was. "
We do not question Judge
Sisco, but it did look suspicious
to Judge Sampson and his
attorneys when they received
these six affidavits, stating that
Judge Sisco did take part in the
primary, and that he did insist
that Judge Sampson be defeated,
and that he did go into certain
precincts and ask the people to
help defeat Sampson, and in the
face of all this. Judge Sampson
was in possession of circular,
signed by the law partner of
Judge Sisco, in which he con-
demned Judge Sampson in the
strongest terms that language
could put it. All that Judge
Sampson asks, all that he wants,
is a square deal and he is salts
fled.
! There are many judges right
here in the district that are
qualified. Judge Davis of Pine
vile, whose character and
integrity are above question,
who was not a supporter OF
either Sampson or Kirk, who
supported Judge Willis. we are
informed. who would. or ought
to be satisfactory to both sides.
And, there are many more, but
. it looks as though the Judge to
try this case must come from
Judge Kirk community, or else
Governor Stanley will exhaust
any and all remedies that he
will continue to go to Judge
Kirk end of the country to get
a court TO try this case. There
are Democrats who would be
satisfactory. There is Judge
Stout, of Frankfort, who is a
learned and impartial Judge, a
man of refinement, a man of I'M
questioned integrity. He is
! qualified and would try the case
as it should be tried without any
feeling in the case except to give
to every man a square deal.
We do not know, we do not
want to be suggestive, we are
only referring to these Judges

acquainted with them, and be-

kind. We want to see this
muddle settled; we would like
for the people to know how this
is to be decided, they are en-

Judge Kirk is not sincere about
this matter. He knows that he
did not get the majority; he
knows that Sampson is the choice
of the whole people; he knows
that if in the event he was to
win that it would not get him
anything. But, it goes to show
