EXPRESS AGENTS MUST
NOT CHARGE NOTARY FEE

Atlanta, April 3G.-Attorney General
Clifford Walker this afternoon render
ed an opinion that agents of the ex-
press companies in Georgia may not
charge for their services as notaries
in taking the afIidavits required by law
on each shipment delivered Under
the new law each agent of the ex-
press company through whom delivery
or distribution of shipment is made
is clothed with the authority of no
tary public to witness an OATH
The question arose and was present
ed to Mr.. Walker today Can the
agent making the delivery charge, in
addition to the express company's tar
if for transportation of the package,
the customary legal fee of 80 cents for
witnessing each oath?'
Could this be done, agents at all the
stations where express offices are
maintained and especially those in the
larger places, would reap a rich har-
vest from the individual package bus
mess.

was the last person to see him, and
she stated that he appeared entirely
normal mentally, but that he SAID ne
was suffering slightly from acute IN
digestion. Hendricks is about 90 years
old, and came to Moultrie from Val

KEEPING BOYS AND
GIRLS ON THE FARM

Washington, d. c., May 3.-In the
design and construction of the farm
house, the question of utility alone
should not be the determining factor.
The first thought should be the max
ing of home. The amount of money
to be invested in TIE building of the
relations in size to the balance of the
plant, nor by the amount that is nee
essary merely to provide a shelter, but
the amount to be invested should be
that which the owner may reasonably
afford without financially Gripping
himself too severely. The average
city dweller in buying house for a
home does not proceed solely on the
basis of what he can expect to secure
in case it is ever desirable to place the
house on the market. He is not like
ly to consider the purchase of home
as financial investment, but as a so
cial one, which will enable him to Sc
cure for his family the comforts and
conveniences that he could not Sc
cure in rented house, and to have for
his family a genuine home, genuine
home life. If he is able when the time
arrives to dispose of his property to
financial advantage, well and good; if
not, he considers, and properly so, that
he has made good investment from
the social side.
There is no panacea that will cure
the yearning for city life evidenced by
the country boys and girls of today,
but there are certain conditions which
if established will add materially to
the attractiveness of life in the coun,
try, and should therefore prevent them
from flocking to the cities merely to
avoid life on the farm. 1t is not to
be expected that every person reared
on a farm will desire to follow farm,
ing as life work, nor is it necessari-
ly desirable that they should do so.
Many of the boys will feel calling to
one or another of the professions, and
it is probable than if allowed to follow
their bent, they will be far more sue.
cessful and contented than if oveFper-
suaded to stay with the farm. The
problem is not to force the boys and
girls to remain on the farm, but to as
sist them in every way in making an
intelligent choice. Their choice can
not possibly be intelligent unless they
are familiar with farm life under its
best conditions.

KILLING OF M. OROVITZ
BLAMED ON PATTERSON

Waycross, Ga, April ga verdict
pronouncing the death of M. OrovitZ,
the merchant who was found in an I'M
conscious condition Wednesday at one
of his stores here, and who died Thurs
day, as murder and placing the blame
for it upon W. w. Patterson and his
son Zeddie, was returned this after
noon by the coroner's jury investigat
ing the case since Thursday morning.
Patterson conducted a store across
the street from the Orovitz place.
While robbery was first believed to be
the motive for the attack, business
jealousy is accepted most generally as
the basis of whatever trouble existed
between Orovitz and Patterson. Off
GERS claim to have found a bloody in
strument in Patterson's store with
which Orovitz could have been beaten.
The Orovitz case will be among the
first considered by the grand jury
which will convene next week.

over the prospect of a bumper crop this
year. The trees are we'll in bloom and
seem to have withstood the cold wealth
er in a manner that gives assurance
of a splendid yield.
While the peach crop will be short

enough to net the growers splendid
sum from the fact that still greater
shortage has been reported in other
peach sections of Georgia, as we'll as
in the northeastern states, and full

JUDGES IN ROW OVER
FIGHT FOR COURTHOUSE

Dalton, May 3.-Judge Moses
Wright of LaFayett., who has been in
vited to come into the Murray county
court house fight, refuses to do so I'M
til Judge A. w. Fite disqualifies him
self in the matter. The Lafayette
Tribune Herald has the following to
say:
"a party of lawyers representing
one faction of the Murray county
court house and county commissions
ers' squabble appeared before Judge
Wright Wednesday in an attempt to
have him assume jurisdiction over Ger
tain phases of the litigation. They
presented affidavits to show that Judge
Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, was dis
qualified in the case. Judge Wright
ruled that he would not take over the
case unless the lawyers would present
a statement from Judge Fite showing
that he considered himself disqualified
at will be recalled that Judge Fife
recently assumed charge of a Walker
county court house case, holding Judge
Wright disqualified. Judge Wright la
ter declared himself disqualified, but
Judge Fite asserted that Judge Wright
was wrong, and has announced his
determination to continue jurisdic
ton over the case"

IDAHO REGIMENT ON
WAY TO BORDER

The Second Idaho regiment of the
National Guard, now a part of the reg

and command Of the President and sub
ject to service anywhere sent or direct.
ed, passed through Pocatello Saturday
morning on their way to the Mexican
border, where they will likely spend
some time in patrol and guard duty,
if nothing else.
The war situation with Mexico seems
to have cleared SO that the work the
boys will have to do will be that of
patrol duty and being made into real
soldiers.
The railroad company was not able to
furnish the trOopsIwith sufficient num-
Der of sleepers, and some of the boys
about half of them-were obliged to
ride in chair cars as far as Salt Lake,
where sleepers for all were secured.
The experience of sitting up all night,
