DRY LAW MUST
BE PASSED UPON

Speer Continues Liquor Injunction
Until Hearing Before Three Judges
on Constitutional Question.
MACON, Ga.-Judge Speer today
ruled that the hearing in the United
States court, involving the destruc-
ton of $4,000 worth of liquor now
in the custody of the court, involved
the constitutionality of the state pro-
hibition law, and would have to be
passed upon by three federal judges.
Seek Injunction.
Counsel for the owners of the
whisky seeking an injunction against
Sheriff Ricketson of Coffee county
contended the law was unconstitu-
tional on the grounds that it was re-
troactive, that it did not provide for
any procedure leading to the confis-
cation of whisky seized and that it
declared there was no property
rights in whisky. The temporary in
junction granted some time ago will
remain in full force until the final
hearing. No date has been set for
the case as yet.

ONE BABY is BORN
EVERY SECOND OF TIME
Thirty-six Million Infants Come Into
World Every Year.

"Thirty-six million babies are born
into the world each year, about 70 a
minute, or more than one every Sec
ond," says statistician. "Place
each baby in a cradle ranged in line
and the cradles would circle the
globe. Let the babies be carried In
their mothers arms past a given
point, the procession being kept up
day and night, and at the end of a
year only about one-sixth of the in
fantiIe host would have gone by, and
this although they passed at rate
of IL a minute. The babe that had
to be carried when the tramp began
would be able to walk when a mere
fraction of its comrades had reached
the reviewers post; and when the
years supply of babies was drawing
to close there would be rear
guard, not of infants, but of romping
six-year-old boys and girls.

RELATIVES ARE CONTESTING
MISS JULIA CATCHINGS' WILL

Niece Begins Litigation to Annul
Requests of Murdered Woman.
The estate of the late Miss Julia
Catchings promise to be a bone of
contention among some of her rela-
tives and other persons for long
time to come. In the will she executed
ten years ago Miss Catchings named
one of her nephews, Harry Coleman,
of Texas, beneficiary to the extent of
$4,000, and to her overseer, Warren
S. Cooper, she gave the remainder of
her property as a life legacy, and
provided that at his death certain in
stitutions allied with the Methodist
church in Georgia should become per-
manent legatees.
Litigation designed to destroy the
effect of the will has been, or will be,
started by attorneys for a Blakely
woman, Mrs. w. D. Watson, who is a
niece of the dead woman. Mrs. Wat
son and her son, w. E. Watson, re-
turned home Tuesday after having
spent several days here and at Cuth-
bert, Georgetown, Albany and Ma
con. 1t is understood that the niece
alleges that Miss Catchings' landed
estate was bequeathed by her father
Joseph Catchings, and that he stipu
lated in his will that title to the prop
erty should not pass from his Inca
descendants. Whether he made such
provision not in conflict with the Law
relating to an estate remains to be
seen.

Central of Georgia Railroad Refuses
to Transport Girard Whiskey to
Another Alabama Town.
Agents of the Central Of Georgia
railway at Girard, Phenix City, Ala,
and Columbus, Ga, have received in
structions from N. B. Wright, gener-
al freight agent of the road, they
must not accept shipments of liquor
for any points in Alabama not even
should Governor Henderson order
shipment be made of it from Girard.
The agents may receive shipments
for transportation to Jacksonville.
The reason for the refusal to handle
shipments in Alabama is because this
would conflict with law in that state
which prohibits shipment of liquor
between two points in the same state.
Asked for Cars.
This decision was made following
the request of Gov. Henderson for
Central of Georgia cars in which to
transport the whisky at Girard to
other points in the state. It was held
by the Central Of Georgia the gov
ernor nor anyone else had the author
ity to make a railroad violate the law,
and upon this ground agents were in
structed not to accept shipments from
one point in Alabama to another
point in the same state.

PEACH GROWERS
INSURE ORCHARDS
Protect Themselves Against Damage
to Crop by Hail. Ten Thousand
Dollars Lost Last Year.

ATLANTA.-Some of the Georgia
peach growers are taking out insur-
ance on their orchards against dam
age by hail, according to advices re-
ceived by the Georgia Fruit Ex-
change here. Last years losses from
hail, said to have been over $4,000,
were larger than any for the past ten
years, during which period the total
losses have been around $4,000.
The unusually high rate charged
for hail insurance. per cent on the
face of the policy-has kept many
growers from insuring their crops.
The insurance companies are now
figuring on bringing down the pre-
MUM charge, and say they could cas-
ilv do so if they had the volume OF
business.
First Shipment.
The first car load of Georgia
peaches will move from Byron this
week. approximately the same date
on which it has gone forward the last
three wears. "Uneedas," an early va
riety, will be shipped in this car,
which will go to New York.
