IMPORTANT DECISION

Reversing decision of state
courts Kentucky and others, the
supreme court Monday held that
juries should be instructed that
in awarding damages under the
federal employers liability law
that fair cash value" Of the
damages suffered by the bene-
ficiaries of employees injured or
killed, should be awarded, rather
than a sum equal to the full
amount CT money the benefici-
aries would have received during
the period of dependency. The
court set aside a $4,000 verdict
rendered in Montgomery county,
Kentucky, in favor of Addie
Kelly, widow of Matt Kelly, a
brakeman killed while at work
for the Chesapeake and Ohio. -

THE EDITORS REWARD

The editor died and went to
heaven,
But stood outside the gate,
Because he hadn't the nerve to
knock,
And thought that he would
wait
Till some other mortals came
along;
He'd then see what they'd do,
And if they entered the pearly
gate
He thought he might slip
through.
He watched the vast procession
pass
Up to the portals wide;
While Peter told some they were
up too high,
And others he took inside.
The editor, weary of waiting so
long,
Finally got in line,
To see if Peter would accept him
then,
Or would with thanks"
decline.
He heard the sweet voiced angels
sing,
His eyes filled to the brim.
He shivered and shook in agony,
Knowing his chances slim,
"Aha!" said Peter, IAN editor
here?"
He laughed with pure delight)
why, certainly, you may come
right in,
For all you did was write. "

TO ENFORCE STATUTE
REGARD TO bad EGGS
Commissioner Eskew Will Pros
ecute Those Who Are Sell
ing Bad Eggs

Commissioner harry IL. ESkSW,
of the State Department of Food
and Drugs, announces that
section of the Food and Drug act
pertaining to "oad eggs" will
be strictly enforced and that the
department will prosecute those
selling bad eggs.
Section 8, paragraph 6, of the
Food and Drugs act, in case of
food, provides. IF it consists
in whole or in part of a filthy,
decomposed, or putrid animal or
vegetable substance, or any por-
ton of animal unfit for food,
whether manufactured or not;
or if it is the product of a diseased
animal or one that has died other
wise than by slaughter. This
section applies to bad eggs.
Decision 501-A, issued by the
department, also applies to eggs
and is as follows:
Fresh eggs shall be graded as
extras" Prime No. l."
Medium Mol" and Mum
Der e."
Fresh egg as it appears be-
fore the candle shall have an air
space not larger than silver dime
the white shall be firm and the
yolk dimly visible.
A. Extras: This grade shall
consist of clean eggs weighing
not less than "a ounces to the
dozen, and shall be at least 90%
fresh eggs. The balance may be
slightly defective in strength and
fullness, but must be sweet
B. Prime No. /: This grade
must be clean, and contain not
less than 65% fresh eggs. The
balance may be slightly defective
in strength and fullness, but
must be sweet.
G. Medium No. /: This grade
shall consist of sound, sweet eggs
which are not too old or shrunken
to be classed as Prime Number 2.
The maximum loss allowed is two
dozen per case.
D. Number 2: Stock of this
grade may include small, dirty,
stale or heated eggs, but must
be sound and fit for food. The
maximum loss allowed is three
dozen per case.
Eggs held IN storage shall be
kept at a temperture of 20 to &c
degrees Fahrenheit, and when SO
kept for longer than thirty days
! shall be sold only as storage eggs.
In the wholesale trade, the month
in which eggs went into storage
must be stated in offering for
sale. In the retail trade no al
lowance shall be made for rotten
eggs, and all eggs sold as storage
must be sweet.
The trade should note that
there are only two classes of eggs
in the market according to the
opinion Of this inspection, name
ly, fresh eggs and storage eggs,
and that the former for trade
purposes, and because of the
difficulties encountered in collect
ing them, is divided into several
grades.
Eggs sold as country eggs"
will not be recognized as coming
within any of the above grades
or any other grade. The express
sion country eggs" means moth
ing whatever, and such eggs may
and usually do contain any or all
of the above classes, and, as now
sold may be partly or even wholly
storage eggs.

In MEMORY OF MRS. FLORA
BOAZ
BOAZ

God entered my home and took
from me my mother.
On Tuesday May is, mother
came to spend a few days with
US. On that night we noticed
that she did not rest very we'll,
| but awoke next morning, dressed
and ate her breakfast and seemed
to enjoy it very much, | con-
tinued with my mornings work
| in the dining room, she going to
care for her room, so the morn.
ling's work was soon over. But
| in a short time Mother complained
of being chilly and not feeling so
well. | insisted she lie down,
she soon did and seemed to be
better. But soon after noon |
saw Mother growing worse, we
called the doctor and did all we
could but to no avail.
After only six days illness
Mother passed away She was
81 years old the 18th day of
May, saying on that day she
would not live to see another
birthday.
In 1870 she was married to
Mr.. Drewry Boaz who survives
her, though is very feeble, was
unable to visit Mother during
her illness and could not be
present at the funeral. He says
it won't be long until he too, will
join her in that Great Beyond.
She became a member Of
Thompson Creek Church num-
Der of years ago, there remain
ing until death. She has lived a
good and useful life and the
Great Supreme One has seen fit
to take her home to Himself, she
was a good wife, a good mother
thinking of the comfort and
welfare of husband and children
first in all things, always ready
to lend a helping hand, give a
word of sympathy and cheer to
the afflicted and disconsolate.
When the subject of death was
mentioned she often spoke of
her end, and since her health
failed something more than two
years ago, she seemed too weak
to bear the cares and disappoint-
ments of this life, and gloried in
the thought, that death would
transplant her to a place where
| there would be no suffering or
sorrow. where all was glory.
| 1t grieves our hearts to give
up Mother, what a great sorrow.
From us has passed the priceless
treasure of a mothers love and
daily companionship. tender
words and acts.
| We know she cannot visit us
again on earth. 1t brings
wounds which only the Divine,
the Higher Power can heal and
we are looking to Him for our
Salvation and Peace of mind.
It seemeth such a little way to
me across to that strong country
The Beyond; And yet not strange
for it has grown to be the home
of those of whom | am so fond.
So close it lies that when my
sight is clear | seem to see the
cleaning of that stand; | often
think but for our yelled eyes we
would find Heaven right around
US lies.
| never stand above the Bier
and see the seal of death on
some we'll loved face, but what |
think; one more to welcome me
when shall cross the intervening
space between this land aud that
one over there, one more to
make the strange beyond seem
fair.

CULPEPPER MEETING
At CONVICTION ENDS
Nearly Two Hundred CONVEX
sions Are Result.---A Few
Culpepperisms

thursday night or last week
Rev. Burke Culpepper, who con-
dccted such successful revival
here last fall, closed a series OF
meetings at Covington which re-
suited in more than $50 CONVEX
sions. The Covington Leader
publishes the following "Culpep,
perisms" taken from his sermons,
which are typical of the man and
many OF which will be recalled
by those who heard him at Paris
last September:
/ think an onion-eating woman
is prolific cause for divorce.
A woman is not wicked, but
she is powerful weak.
/ don't think a woman should
kiss man until three days after
her marriage.
Sister, keep the DULLES guess
ing. Don't wear that old blue
wrapper all the time; wear a red
one occasionally.
A woman's job is to make the
home beautiful, to bake biscuits
and spank the children.
Can you imagine the mother
of our Lord playing cards and
dancing?
No man has a right to demand
an unnatural thing of woman.
Modesty outshines the dia-
mond. 1t is far more beautiful
than pearls and rubies.
| had rather have a bob tailed
monkey teaching my boys and
girls in Sunday School on Sun
day than one of those dancing,
card-playing church members.
| think every man should be
married by the time he is q
years old; if he is not, fine him
a-SlOO per year until he is thirty
'nnsars old, and then put the bully
lred the penitentiary for life. Old
Aflaids. | am doing my best for
ecyou.
r. A man who "cusses' would
steal if you take the penalty off
of stealing and put it on "cuss-
ing"
A man is tougher than a billy
goat; if billygoat chewed as
much tobacco as some of you
DULLES, he would be dead in less
than a week.
If you fellows run your bust
ness like you do the churches,
you would bankrupt in six
months.
Every prayer in the Bible is
a Hebrew prayer. | have often
wished | had one drop of Jew
blood in my veins.
The way to reach a mans heart
is through his stomach.
One half of everything a mar
ried man has belongs to his
wife.

STAND AGAINST THE WRONG

The live fish must go against
the current. would rather be
considered ungentlemanly than
bow to any accursed custom.
When you come to a custom,
stand right against it if it is
going to drag man or woman
down. Some people close their
bargain with drinking. | never
have nor never will close a bar
gain with drinking liquor. j. P.

SUPERIOR COURT
NOW IN SESSION
JUDGE WORRILL IN HIS CHARGE
STRESSED GAME, AUTO AND
PROHIBITION LAWS.

The fall term of superior court
convened Monday morning with his
honor Judge Worrill .presiding and
Col. B. T. Castellow as solicitor gem
eral.
The grand jury was organized with
NJ. E. Jennings as foreman, W. L.
Battle clerk and NJ H. Marshall, ST..
and f. L. Anderson bailiffs..
Judge Worrill's charge, while on
the usual lines, was especially strong
and to the point He laid stress on
violations of the prohibition law, the
game law and the automobile law,
calling especial attention to the fact
that it is unlawful for any one under
16 years of age to drive a car; that
when a car approaches junction of
roads or sharp curves it must slow
down to twelve miles an hour, and
If the junction or curve is in cut
the car must slow down to 8 miles.
His honor was very vigorous in his
condemnation of reckless driving or
the public highway, and said it was
the duty of the grand jury to return
true bills for all violations. He also
called attention to the fact that no
one except the owner of car or
member of his family had right to
drive the car without a chauffeur's
license, and the driver must wear a
badge designating him as such.
The civil docket will probably oc-
cupy the attention of the court for
three or four days, after which the
criminal docket will be taken up.

WHISKEY ROOM
AT EXPRESS OFFICE
Company Has Found 1t Necessary to
Double Capacity of Its Quarters
and Employ Another Clerk.


Under the new prohibition law
whisky shipments have increased to
such an extent that the Southern Elk
press Company has found it neces-
sary to double the capacity of It's
storage room in Dawson.
The agent, Mr.. S. P. Davis, has
rented the store room adjoining the
one that has been occupied by the eX-
press company several years, and IS
using it exclusively as whisky de-
partment with Mr.. L. P. knlghton,
of Benevolence, who was recently
employed, in charge.
Shelves have been built along the
walls the entire length of the room
and are filled with whisky shipments,
which are kept in alphabetical order
to exepdite delivery to the anxious
and expectant customer.
The new department resembles a
dispensary more than an express Of
flee, and on Saturdays the throng who
gather there to receive their ship
ments reminds one of a circus crowd.
Sometimes the rush is so great the
agent finds it necessary to close the
doors, and admit only one customer
at a time.
All kinds of schemes and subter-
fuges are resorted to by those VINO
want more than the two quarts per
month allowed by law, and it IS SAID
there are instances of accommodating
persons being literally paid for the
use of their names.

SAYS NORTH TOO
COLD FOR NEGROES
JESSE JONES GOT PLENTY OF
EASTERN ROsPERITY IN
JUST A FEW DAYS.

On Saturday night q week ago
Jesse Jones, Terrell county negro
who had a prosperous year on the
farm of Mr.. G. w. Dozier and had
cleared considerable money, left, with
a party of thirty-two negroes for the
East in pursuit of the alluring pot OF
gold at the other end of the rainbow,
as set forth by certain immigration
agents who have been working among
the negroes of this section during the
past month.
The party was bound for Connect
icut, but on reaching New York city
they decided to work there awhile
and see the sights of the city. The
night of their arrival in New York
it began to sleet, and the next morn
ing the ground was covered with
snow. They worked all day in the
snow The next day the Georgia ne
groes awoke and found it still snow
ing and getting colder, and Jones and
two others of the party took
train for the South, and Jones said
the entire crowd would have returned
if they had possessed enough money
to pay railroad fare. Jones was kept
busy Saturday telling his experiences,
which were real amusing the way he
told them. When he was derided by
some of his color for running home
so quick he solemnly remarked:
''Nigger, if you saw death staring you
in the face would you stay there and
die or come home where you can
live?"
Jones said that when they told him
Connecticut was as much more colder
than New York as New York was
colder than Georgia he knew he did
not want to go any further. He says
wages are good, but the negro cannot
stand the climate and there is no use
of him trying. He said he was born
and raised in Georgia, and he was go
ing to stay here. He had his time
check for one days work, but he was
not going back to collect it,
