DISTRICT COURT

There was quite busy week in
the District Court, but. most of the
cases were from the civil docket.
There were some prosecutions Ior
failure to dip cattle and large NUM-
Ger of cases for violation of the COM
1ulsory education law. Most of tha
cases, being first offenses, got su5-
pended sentences as to the fine and
were compelled to pay costs of court.
Business was finished up Friday af-
ternoon and Judge Carter returned
tc his home in FranklintOn, where

Marshal Chas. Smith of Slidell, in
1911, will come up at the October
fterm. Cade was brought back from
Louisville, KY, at which place he
was traced through records Of the
War Department. Cade was very
mpudent and denied his identity,
even when confronted with his photo"
graph, which was Identical with the
enc taken of him in Jail there. He
was also identified by Marshal Elliot.
Cade's lawyer, who had been given
ninety dollars by Cade to get his re
lease, became convinced, notwith-
standing Cade's protestations that he
had never been south of Mobile y
that Cade was the man wanted, gave

form of a soldier. He had served
IN France and boasted that he had
been through shot and shell and he
could not be intimidated by sherii1
and his deputies. However, he ad-
mitted on the way down that he
was the man wanted, but he could
not understand how Mr.. Elliot. had
identified him, as he did not know
Mr.. Elliot. Cade was taken back to
New Orleans for safe keeping, after
his uniform had been removed. This

something more than eight thousand
car loads have been shipped to date,
and the Elberta peach season is just

tiful and popular streets in the city
is named Peachtree.
This is the convention city of the
South, and is we'll prepared to care
for all meetings. The state capitol
building is similar in architecture to
he national capitol at Washington.
Grant Park embraces some OF the
scenes of the Battle of Atlanta. The
painting of the battle on exhibition
weighs nine tons, and is four hun
dred feet around and fifty feet high
Stone Mountain is the largest sci!d
rock in the world. It measures one
mile from base to summit, and is
eight miles around the base.

BEER SOLD AT SCHONBElRG'S.

This is not 275 beer, but the
genuine Root Beer, and it is served
in big mugs that hold schooner,
and all for 5 cents, plus 1 cent war
tax. This beer is served ice cold
from globe fountain arrangement
installed especially for this purpose.
By this arrangement a big crowd can

flows from the fountain. This prom
ises to be a popular drink. 1t took
New York by storm and is popular
in all the larger cities. The Schon-

good ship Man Devil over Lake Pom

white caps off the waves and they
went around bareheaded. threw
out my chest and few other things
that l didn't want. There was a
lady on board. When we started
she was bow-legged. When we got
across the lake she was knock
kneed (I heard the knocks). We
didn't tip the waters; they got tipped
enough. I remember some of the
boat rules. They were: Passengers
riding on the paddle wheel will be
charged for a round trip ticket.
Babies that fall overheard will be
rocked In the cradle of the deep.
Fresh eggs will be served when the
boat lays to. Boats will leave Man

indicates that water is approaching
| the building towards it's right wing
in such mass that it is gradually
sloughing out the bottom on which
| the foundations are resting and
causing the building to settle slight
| Ilw The erosion is bound to con-
tinue until the conditions named
can be cured and it is our opinion
that remedy should be adopted at
once, AS we have suggested, verb
ally, borings should be made around
! the foundations of the right wing at
| intervals of about 10 feet apart to
ascertain the general condition with
regard to the admission of Water.
Then an effort should be made to
ascertain where the water Is coming
from, and to our mind it suggests
that it may be at point or points
az the ditch line location of the
lower side of the street Immediately
in front of the building. There are
several places, open to view, where
1t is quite possible that the water is
leaving the concrete drains and fol-
lowing some other line of least OBJ
struction most probable Of which is
| the previous bottom Of the old ditch
| which has been filled. By having
the borings watched it can be seen
readily whether the stoppage OF
water at the front line will prevent
any further water from getting to
the foundations or not and if Tt is
stopped the work of reinforcing the
10 ,h ho
| done by steel beams to prevent the
| building from being further affected
| by the water erosion spoken of.
When this is done then the brick
work can be repaired and made to
| look as if there never were crack
there. The building should look as
well as ever if this were done.
Further, as the result of the settle
| ment in the right wing there is some
cracked plaster on the inside of the
building and for the good of the
| building this ought to be repaired
| and the building put in good gen.
eral condition.
1t might be we'll if this work could
be begun without delay so as to make
things right as soon as possible.
AS soon therefore as you will have
gone into the matter and you will
have determined upon what can be
| done we would appreciate your ad-
visng us so that we can work out the
details for you.
Yours very truly,
NOLAN &. TORRE,
Per w. T. Nolan.
Since the receipt of this report
from Mr.. Nolan, | have had holes
dug in several places on the school,

In this hole there is something like
six or eight inches of water standing

holes should be dug to show the ex
