Fire Net For City But
Auto For Chief Waits

Fire Chief Naylor will have to con-
tlnue to use one of the fire trucks for
runabout in his inspection work.
The city council last night decided to
defer until after the new year his re-
quest that he be provided with a
small car. His request that the de-
partment be provided with life net
and two smoke helmets immediately.
however, was ordered complied with.
According to Chief Naylor, the
department is not now equipped with
ladders of sufficient length to reach
to the upper stories of several build
ings in the city. Ladders of sufficient
length can be obtained only in the
form of aerial trucks which are ex-
pensive. The life net, according to
the chief, will relieve a constant dan
ger with which the city has long been
confronted.

Asks Right To Sell
Seized Sugar At 12c

ATLANTA, Nov. In order to
prevent the sale at an excessive price
OF the contraband sugar now on
hand at the Atlanta postoffice, a let
ter has been written to Washington
by A. 0. Blalock, collector of inter
nal revenue in Atlanta, requesting
authority to sell this sugar at the
market price of ~ cents
Under existing laws, it was stated
by Mr.. Blalock, such contraband is
required to be sold at auction, after
proper advertising, and goes to the
highest bidder If this is done in the
case of the 5000 pounds of sugar
on hand at the postoffice the bids
probably would run to two or three
times the price fixed by the fair
price committee and the sugar would
go in lump sale to some firm and
not to individual citizens

LITTLE RAISINS
BY OLD TOPERS

With a dry nation, becoming ex-
ira dry through the efforts of the
department of justice sharp and
pressing demand for the little raisin
looms in immediate prospect says the
New York Sun. The little raisin has
been doing yeoman service out in
strictly prohibition territory for the
past three years. 1t is now study
that offers many possibilities along
the lines of research, and its achieve
ments have as yet, been scarcely
enumerated.
Whereas raisins we're imported
from California to previously wet ter
ritory by the crate they are now be-
ing purchased by the carload since it
was first discovered in Colorado that
a handful of raisins dropped into a
quart of grapejuice and followed by
about four ounces of brown sugar
would kick the ordinary sojourner
through a skylight at the end of three
weeks fermentation.
OF all the devices called to the aid
of a civilization that refuses to ban
ish every vestige of moisture none
occupies a more important place than
the raisin; but the raisin is by no
means the only pearl of great price.

Marshal Barnes Must
Serve Term AS Slayer

ATLANTA, Nov. THE Georgia
court of appeals has upheld the lower
courts in the conviction of John M.
Barnes, former United States mar
shall for Georgia, for the killing of
his brother-in-law, J. o. J. Lewis.
The decision means that Barnes will
have to serve his prison sentence.
The case came to the Court of APP
peals from McDufie county. The
killing occurred in a family dispute
at their home town, Thomson, Ga.
Barnes was sentenced to 10 years in
the penitentitary.
He was one of the best known
characters in the state, and promi-
nent in Republican circles. While
holding the office of United States
marshal, serving under Judge Speer,
there was at one time a difference be-
tween the marshal and the court
which eventually resulted in another
marshal being appointed.
Barnes also served, by Republican
appointment, as postmaster at Thorn

Cor The Palisadian.)
BY w. o. Gray.
O, thou lovely flower, ArbutuS,
Thou didst gracefully salute us
When, exalted TO vase
From thy lowly life in marshes
Meath the tangled grass's arches,
Thou at last didst find a place
In the glorious sun-lit parlor.
AS no flower from any arbor
A true queen thou reignest here
With their stately looks and poses
Do not bring the heartfelt cheer.
As some strain of sweetest music
Or some charm in beauty rustic,
Touches, as with magic wand;
AS the memories of loved ones,
Or the hopes of finding lost ones
Thrills us on a foreign strand
So thy fragrance sweet entrances
Every sense of hearts whose glances
Penetrate the heavenly land.

They do not make me sick deciding
