had recommended that the ten-year

Mr.. D. "A. Horton of Lanes Greek

nine other spectators, witnesses and
defendants were taxed $3.50 each
for standing in the court aisle late
Yesterday afternoon by Judge J Bis
Ray, who is presiding at this weeks
term of Superior court for the trial
of criminal cases. The fines totaled
$1475O.
Solicitor Brock was calling out
the case of some one charged with
failure to list property. What's the
number?' asked Mr.. r. w. Lem
mond, the clerk of court, whose desk
was about twenty feet from where
the Solicitor was standing. Judge
Ray, noticing that the conversation
of those standing in the aisle was
making it difficult for the court otfl-
GERS to hear each other, stopped the
court machinery.
Close the doors" he ordered,
and let nobody take their seat"
#. Horton, contrary to the order
of the Judge, sat down on the front

bring him to the bar along with the
others who were standing in the
aisle. The men were brought before
Judge Ray, who proceeded to fine
; MIR. Horton S25 and the others $3.50
each.
Throughout the day Judge Ray
had been warning the spectators
and witnesses to keep their seats.
Several times he ordered Sheriff
Fowler to clear the aisles, but all OF
his efforts were to no avail until he
began imposing fines. Then he had
no difficulty in making the specta-
tors keep their seats. No one hard
w dared to move unless summoned
to the bar by either the Sheriff or

Making Money Fly.

Making money fly is all right,
provided it flies to a purpose and
collects interest on the way.
But too many people forget the
purpose and lose the interest.
1t requires time, energy and
perseverance to earn money, but
it needs only a moment of fool
ishness to make it fly.
The mightiest of trees spring
from little roots, but each year
they grow, and thrive, until in
time they become giants of the
forests. They never fly.
The greatest of fortunes found
their inception in humble begin
ming. There was much saving,
but no flying.
The prosperity of this com
munity depends upon its pro-
ductiveness and the ability of its
people to save.
Saving is a little word, but it is
the cornerstone upon which
every giant commercial enter
prise isreared.
The wise man spends without
stint for that which he needs, but
heTegulates his requirements tc
sallow for a liberal amount of sys
tematic saving.
People who save not in youth
have not in old age. Where the
inclination is lacking no incentive
exists, and without an incentive
there is little future to life.
Work, save, and you will al
ways have.
Make it fly, and you will 500
be in want
