BERT WONDERS IF IT WAS A FRIEND OR NOT

Bert Lytell. who has just finished "A Message From Mars for Metro, is puzzled, and it's all about a friend. In fact, what puzzles MT. Lytell is whether it was a friend or not. It happened like this. MT. Lytell had a slight cold and the friend asking about the cough, declared that he knew just the stuff to cure it.
 "T1l send it around to you," said the friend with a smile, and ust the thought of it made MT. Lyten feel much better. In due time a package arrived and the star with smile of anticipation carefully unwrapped the package and found-a bottle of na- tionarly advertised cough syrup.

WEST END.

Held in Trust which has its in itial local performance yesterday al the West End Theater proves several things about pictures: that they have really risen to take an equal place III dramatic expression with the stage; that May Allison, dainty of feature >end endowed with glorious hair wh1ch n suggests the bright sheen of new gold is capable of emotional as well as lighter and sprightlier roles; that the demand for real plays, fresh and viz orous in story, has been more than met-and several other things. But .most of all Held in Trust proves mighty good entertainment.
 No need to spoil, the story by scanty retelling: it is of Mary Man chester, driven by circumstance and a desire for Russian sableS to i'm personate a wealthy woman who Is really dead, but whose continued life would mean the retention of her mil lions by two unscrupulous bankers. That is the start; doubtless the men who read George Kibbe Turner's orig inal tale in The Red Book know it fairly completely and will wish to witness the viSualiation.

Mrs. Townsend
Is Convicted

GAINESVILLE, Ga, Nov. 10TH
Mrs. Mary Townsend was convicted
OF the murder OF DIR. J. r. Arlington
after d two-day trial in Superior Court
here, with life imprisonment as a pen
atty The case will be appealed.
Mrs. Townsend was charged with
killing DIR, J. r. Arlington last sum-
mer at her home about six miles
from Gainesville in the Murrayville
road. The case was given to the
jury Tuesday night about 7 o'clock.
This case was tried in the July
trem and resulted in a mistrial. The
admitted facts are that Dr. J. R. Ar
rington called at the home Of Mrs.
Mary Townsend and that he was shot
to death. The state contended at the
July trial that the doctor called to
collect bill for professional services;
but the defense called the executor
of the estate and the collector of the
late physician and bob failed to find
any money due him for professional
service. At this term the State con-
tended that the bill was for whisky,
about $3.50, on which sum had been
paid.
The defense insists that the bill is
not at all for Mrs. Townsend as her
name is not on it in any manner.
The plea of the defense has been
that the doctor was half drunk and
that he endeavored to assault Mrs.
Townsend, who after a struggle got
her little girl to hand her gun and
that as Arlington returned to the at
tack, she shot him. Many witnesses
were called on both sides The direct
evidence was given by the doctors
little son, and by Mrs. Townsend's
little girl, both about II years old.
At the time of the killing ugly feel
ings were manifested by the neigh
bors against Mrs. Townsend and they
burned her house, the outhouses and a
COW.

Dipping Case
Bares Defect

Triton, Ga, Nov 16-A hearing on
the petition of S. F. Gutherie OF Ber-
rien County, brought against the of
ficers in charge OF the enforcement of
the dipping laws in that county, be-
fore Judge K. Eve OF the Triton Cir
cult, developed defect in the Geor-
gia cattle dipping law, in that the law
does not specify the manner in which
notice shall be served on the owner
OF the cattle, notice being necessary
before the owner can be held liable
for failure to comply.
Sheriff J. V. Nix of Berrien has
seized several hundred head of cattle
belonging to Gutherie on a charge of
failure to dip. Gutherie said he hadn't
been notified to dip, but the sheriff
said he had mailed notices. Judge
Dickerson was disqualified and refer
red the matter to Judge Eve. Mean
while bill for several hundred dol
lars for feed was run up. Judge Eve
decided that Gutherie was entitled to
hearing before jury on the question
of whether he received notice or not.
and directed Sheriff Nix to surrender
the cattle when bond for $1,000 was
made.
The case at one time had Sheriff Nix
between the orders of two courts. The
1itigants carried the matter before w
E. Thomas, judge, who heard the case
not knowing that it had been referred
to Judge Eve. Judge Thomas ordered
the sheriff to sell the cattle to pay the
costs. Meanwhile the case was brought
before Judge Eve, who did not know
that it had been heard by Judge Thorn
as, and Judge Eve ordered that the
cattle be surrendered to Gutherie at
the time he made ST 900 bond
Sheriff Nix was faced with con-
tempt of court if he obeyed either or
der, so he waited until the question of
jurisdiction had been cleared up.

Mail Mystery In
The Walker. Case

SPARTA, ia, Nov. l6-The req

Hardwick upon Gov. Nchf Of Texas,

Georgia banks and prominent in chur.

Hancock county to the governor of
Texas a short time ago, have arrived
at Austin in a different package from
the one in which they were originally
placed in the mail, it was said by the
Sheriff Jackson Tuesday afternoon.
The sheriff statement is based on
communication that has just been
received from the governors office in
Austin, Texas.
On an indictment by a Hancock
county grand jury charging embez-
clement in connection with the disap-
pcarance of the city of Sparta sinking
fund from the vault of The First Ma
tional Bank of Sparta, of which Walk
er at the time was president, Governor
Hardw,ck on October y issued the
requisition papers and mailed them to
Sheriff Jackson. who sent them. togeth
er with certain documentary proof to
the Texas governor by registered mail.
When the package reached Austin
it was minus the requisition papers
and Governor Hardwick since has is
sued another requisition and sent il
direct from his office to Texas.

Large Sweet Potatoes
Have No Market Value

ATLANTA, Nov. zI'-Large sweet
potatoes have no market value to
speak of, according to statements that
were made here today by potato grow
ers. When large potatoes are mixed
with medium potatoes, instead of ad-
ding to the commercial value of the
potatoes they are detriment. it IS
stated-making it difficult to sell those
of marketable grade and quantity. 1t
is pointed out that they are not only
lacking in value themselves but les
sen the value of the medium sized po-
tatoes which have a place on the mar
kets.
Market men say there is a market
for sweet potatoes not over 8 IL in
ches in diameter and ten inches in the
length. Any sweet potato larger than
this, it is stated, should not be placed
in the same package or car with mar
ketable sweet potatoes-the specifi-
cations for which are the greatest d.
mansions, as shown, and the smallest
dimensions ga inches in diameter
and four inches long.
In view of the present effort being
made by many agencies to introduce
the Georgia sweet potatoes into the
markets of the North and East, it is
advisable, state experts say, for grow
ers to recognize the limitations as to
sizes.
