RALPH HERRING SHOT IN
HAND

Ralph Herring, Is years of age,
residing at sol w. Pine street,
had the misfortune of shooting
himself through the hand about
six O'Clock yesterday evening.
Ralph was handling the thirty
two revolver of one of his play
mates, "he didn't know it was
loaded" The gun went off and
the bullet went through the palm
Of his left hand breaking two fin
gers. DR.. d. B. Ware was sum
moned and he dressed the wound
in time to prevent any serious
complications.
Ralph certainly has had hard
luck. He now has a hole in his
skull the size of a silver dollar
as a result of a hard fall about a
year ago. Ia

OUR FITZGERALD TRIP

Boarding Mr.. E. S. Strickland's
Ford Thursday afternoon, accom-
panied by Chairman Davis and
Col. diff, we motored through a
binding rain over Charlton road,
enroute to Fitzgerald. Reaching
Waycross we spent the night, as
we had passed the worst roads.
Wares road can be improved by
hard surfacing, thing they pro-
mise to do shortly. AS they are
now the roads are good, except in
a couple of stretches, which re-
minded me of Charlton s-too
narrow and sandy.
Coffee'S part of the Highway as
a whole, were an Improvement,
and a mile or so on the north end,
par excellent-forty wide, hard
surfaced with gravel and a turtle
back shape shedding water easily.
This was the ideal stretch on the
run.
Irwin came next and consider
as whole had the best road, only
a mile or so incomplete. One
noticeable feature of road building
in this county was the cement
culverts displacing ram shaHled
plan ones. Never a jar or jolt
to disturb ones equanimity and
that means much on a long jaunt
Ben Hills roads as far as Fitz-
gerald are on a par with Coffee's.
perhaps as a whole, somewhat
superior, as they are laid out
wider, and they contemplate
finishing them better. Fitzgerald
is growing into a splendid city
and is improving rapidly, being
quite a contrast to what it was a
few years past. The lay of the
town proves the superior advan-
tage of modern surveyed off
city, up-to-date and attractive

Pickett Pitches Peerless Pill

In hot three to blank nine
inning game, Fitzgerald, ably
headed by Pickett, played circles
around the visiting club. The
game was to great extent a pit
cheers battle but good playing
was featured on both sides.
Fitzgerald scored iii the third.
Cochran got base on balls. Puck
EFT punched. Cochran stole sec
ond and made third on a passed
ball. Norris nocked one over sec
ond base for a single, scoring
Skip. Zimmerman damned one
into deep center, where it seemed
safe a mile. But old big Steed,
doggone his hide, caught it, turn
ed somersault and as Norris had
gone to third, thinking Zim had
hit safe, pegged George off first.
One hit, one run.
Also in the fourth. Milligan
grounded out, second to first.
Barnett grounds to second.
Cheeves pegs wild to Henderson.
Westbrook hits Mize over the
heart with a fast one, but Hender-
son makes him run, although the
lick was hard one. Henry H-R
Hates does the cleanup act with
a triple to right field. Monahan
bunts foul on the third strike.
Cochran 1ys out to ellis. Two
runs, one hit.
Pickett, striking out twelve
and granting three hits, did the
big feature work. Mize was
there in right field with pretty
running catch: ellis made a

idly, for Gelders is appreciated
as he should be. Good roads and
better schools is his idea of max
ing superior city and county.
The automobile show was a
splendid achievement, superior in
number to shows in larger places
that we have seen.
The good roads meeting was to
keep up interest and to hear re-
ports of road building along the
Highway. News of upkeep work
justihes the belief that the Dixie
Central Highway is going to be
maintained and become the STAN
dard highway through Georgia,
the road of less miles and more
smiles in reality.
1t is refreshing to see such men
as Mayor Bridges Smith, of Ma
con, Editors Anderson, Long and
Gelders, and other representative
men, who lay aside their work,
and enter so enthusiastically and
heartily in this work of construct
ing good roads.
1t was a genuine pleasure to see
and hear Mrs. Massey and Mrs.

Their interest lies in the beautify-
ing of the country roads, with
useful shade trees. How pleasing
it is to know that these good la

leaves at Highway travellers as a

TWO BILLS FOR NAVY
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
100000 to Equip Mare Island and
100000 for New York
Yards.

Washington, Feb 9.-Naval affairs
were debated in the house for the
first time on Monday, and the Naval
academy increase bill was passed by
a vote of IT'S to 0. The house also au-
thorized the immediate use OF $500,000
to equip Mare Island navy yard to be-
gin building a dreadnaught or battle
cruiser, and the expenditure of $780,
900 to enlarge facilities at the New
York yard
Yhe Mare Island yard will build
the first big battleship ever construct
ed on the Pacific cast.
Speaker Clark and Republican Lead
CT Mann took part in the debates, each
favoring the naval bills. The academy
bill will provide for the immediate in
crease of 800 midshipmen at Annap-
oils.
Speaker Clark said he favored dou-
bling the capacity of both Annapolis
and West Point and extending the
privilege of education at either instl-
tuition in such way as to "democra-
tie both services.
Representative Mann called for di-
vision on the academy increase bill
to put the preparedness opponents on
record, but none of those who had
spoken against the measure responded
in the negative.
Speaker Clark declared that if II
inch guns were being placed on for
eign ships the United States should
have them as well, or the best guns
obtainable now or hereafter.
Mr.. Mann suggested that the naval
affairs committee speed up its work.

CHARGES MADE
AGAINST BRANDE|S
Clifford Thorne Makes ACCUSE
tons Before Senate Body.
ECHO OF RAIL RATE CASE
Chairman of Iowa Rail Commission
Causes Sensation-Asserts Asso-
ciate Played Him False, Conced-
ing Main Point to Roads.

Washington, Feb 11-Grave charges
against Louis D. Brandeis, nominated
by President Wilson as Supreme court
justice, were made on Wednesday in
public hearing before a subcommit-
tee. Clifford Thorne, chairman of the
Iowa railroad commission, caused a
sensation when he deliberately told
the committee that he believed the
presidents candidate guilty of:
l. Infidelity, breach of faith and
unprofessional conduct in connection
with one of the greatest cases of this
generation
2. Committing himself as counsel
for the interstate commerce commits
sion to the proposition that a return
of 71a per cent on railroad capital is
not adequate, although the commits
sion itself had fixed that rate as an
adequate profit.
The charges, delivered in a calm,
deliberate tone, took away the breath
of the solemn senate subcommittee
and made the crowd in the committee
room gasp. He reviewed in detail the
conduct of himself and Mr. Brandeis
in the railroad-rate case of 1910 and
1913 before the interstate commerce
commission. He sought to show that
Mr.. Brandeis, after acting for the ship
pers in 1910, had become attorney for
the commission in 1913 and had not
acted in good faith The object of his
testimony was to show that the con-
duct of Brandeis was unbecoming a
lawyer of judicial temperament" and
that on railroad questions the Supreme
court candidate was already COM
mitted and would not be able to act
judicially if such questions came be-
fore him as judge of the highest
court.
Mr. Thorne explained that he met
Mr.. Brandeis during the 5 per cent
advance railroad rate case before the
interstate commerce commission in
1910. At that time Mr. Brandeis, he
said, represented the Seaboard Ship
pers' association Mr.. Thorne said he
himself represented the state of Iowa
and large number of shippers asso-
Citations. In the 1918 rate case Mr..
Thorne said Mr.. Brandeis, at the re-
quest of the interstate commerce COM
mission, became counsel for the COM
mission.
MY appearance here was not re-
uuested by me-" said Thorne.
The committee gasped as Thorne
went on, with vigorous emphasis;
THE gentleman under consideration
here today, l believe, was guilty OF in
fidelity. breach of faith and unpro-
fessional conduct in connection with
one of the greatest cases OF this gen
Grafton.
Il charge that while acting as spe-
cial counsel for the interstate COM
merce commission in 1913 Mr.. Bran
deis committed himself to the propo-
sition that a return of III per cent
above debts, interest and taxes, upon
the capital stock of railroad is in
adequate, or, as he expressed 1t, mig
gardly,' although that amount had
been approved by the commission
unanimously as adequate in 1910"
