No Indexing Now
of County Records

The board of county commissioners
was in regular monthly session today,
and at the time of going to press this
afternoon was still in closed session.
1t was stated on the outside that mat
ters only of routine nature were be-
fore the board
One matter acted upon was the pro-
posal of an abstract firm to index the
county records from 1880 to 1917, the
year when the same system of index
was established by law for all new
county records in Georgia. The board
was told by representative of the
firm that the job would cost not over
$4,000. 1t was said it would require
the services of from 10 to Is expert
clerks for a period of several months.
Several local lawyers who favor the
indexing, appeared before the board
with the representative The board de-
cided to postpone having the work
done for the present.

COTTON JUMPS
OVER S5BALEIN
STRONG MARKET

A gain Of more than 100 points, or
over S. per bale, was recorded in the
cotton market today, the whole list
moving upward from 112 points on
March delivery on the New York ex-
change to 131 points on July delivery.
The whole session was decidedly
bullish, with bullish news coming from
many directions. One contributing
factor was the announcement made
Saturday evening by Congressman
Hefin, of Alabama, that President
Wilson had cabled word that the cot
ton shipping restrictions to neutral
and allied countries would soon be re-
moved, and Hef1in's prediction that
there would not be bale of surplus
cotton in this country by early fall.
There apparently was much buying by
short interests. rushing to cover The
opening was the low mark for the day
and the close the high mark. There
was not a weak period in the market
during the whole session.

2 Negroes Bound
Over For Murder

Jim Miller and Ebenezer Miner. two
negroes of the five whose commitment
trial was held Saturday In connection
with the killing early last week of
Samson Stalks, another negro, were
today bound over without bond on q
charge of murder by Judge w. NJ
Harper, of the City court.
Judge Harper Saturday freed three
of the accused negroes, but held the
decision ON the other two in allegiance.
In holding the pair he took the ground
that the evidence at the trial showed
that they had followed the slain me-
gro from the house near which the
killing occurred; that they and the
slain negro had gone to the well with
buckets for water, and that they had
not returned, which indicated their
connection in some manner with the
crime One witness at the hearing
swore that Stalks before he died stat
ed that the two had shot him.

Senator Smith to Aid
Soldiers Get Release

ATLANTA, Feb. 3.-Now that his
work as democratic conferee from
the senate on the revenue bill has
been completed, Senator Hoke Smith
will devote his principal attention for
several weeks to aiding Georgians to
secure their discharge from the mill
tary service.
It is the polio yof the war depart
ment to give men their discharges as
rapidly as possible. In individual
cases, however, the war department
desires to release men at once if they
have positions awaiting them in civil
life. That is to say the war depart
ment wishes men to be released ahead
Of their units whenever they are in
position to go Immediately into posi-
tions in civil life.
To expedite such discharges as much
as possible is the desire of Senator
Smith. He has already devoted good
deal of attention to this work, but the
revenue bill made heavy demands up
on the time of all the conferees and
prevented him from expediting as
many cases as he will now be in a po-
sition to handle. ..
