ton. and federal officials declare IN
dictments charging the defenoaht
and his sons with peonage Ylolatlohs
are near at hand.
Williams first conviction was for
the murder of Lindsay Peterson, one
of the eleven negro laborers killed
on and near the death farm.
Peterson's body, tied with that or
Willie Preston, was washed ashore
on the Newton county bank OF the
Yellow river. Williams also is under
indictment in Newton county for the
Death of Preston and Harry Price,
another negro, whose BODY was
dredged from the Alcovy river.
With action by the Jasper county
authorities set for Monday, with
prospects of a hard fight by the state

eral grand jury, and with motion
for new trial fixed for an early hear

come thick and fast in the sensa-
tional case during the next few days
Sentence was formally passed on
Williams within few moments after
the verdict was read. Judge Hutche-
son restated the verdict as read by
T. r. Starr, a farmer and foreman
of the jury and added: '.and the yer
dict is the sentence of the court"
The verdict was not in exact form
but in open court both sides agreed
that it was legal by supreme court
decisions and that no exception would
be taken.
The motion for a new trial was
made on the ground that the verdict
was Contrary to the evidence; con-
trary to the law and without evil

Of HIS VALUAbLES
BY H|GHNAYMAN

The police are looking for a very
business-1ike highwayman, who held
up r. W. F1ournoy, of So Arizona
avenue, in front of the Georgian
Terrace hotel, late Friday night, and
robbed him of more than 800 worth
of valuables Mr.. Flournoy says that
the robber conducted himself with
the smoothness of professional
road agent.
In telling his story Saturday
morning, Mr.. Flournoy said: II was
driving up Peachtree street late Fri
day night, and had slowed UP to
make a turn at Popce de Leon ave-

revival of business. If we can 90

we have accomplished a great deal,
and cotton will flow to the ports OF

The violent fluctuations i'm eX-
change, and the uncertainty incident
thereto. Mr.. Meyer said, operated to
discourage in Europe the purchase
of cotton in American warehouses,
whereas, if the cotton were stored In
Europe it might find a ready market,
without the necessity for credits. He
thought that the situation might be
remedied, measure bly,, by the eXpo@-
tation of cotton for storage in Eu-
rope, subject to immediate delivery
upon purchase. -,
"Our scheme Of warehousing all
of our cotton in America has ceased
to be practical" he said. I'VE can
not longer hold our cotton here until
it is bought and paid for We must
make other and different arrange
ments, the necessity for which is
made obvious by the violent tluctu-
atoms in exchange"
Mr., Meyer warned the meeting tRat
1t is unwise and unsound to attempt
to fix the price of cotton in America.

mort crop, it is a competitive product:

you please answer this question:
Which is the mother of chicken,
the hen that lays the egg or the
A. Undoubtedly the hen that lays
the egg is the mother. Hens are

hen that Matched such eggs was the
mother of the ducks, would you?
ID. WI are Val USL pOACo POAAS-

A. Formerly BARRIERS performed

To assist in the operation the pa
tient was required to grasp a staff,
which was always kept by the bar
Der together with the necessary
bandage. When the pole was not in
use, the bandage was tied to it and
hung at the door as a sign. AT
length, instead of using the Identical
pole, another was painted with
stripes around it in imitation of the
pole and bandage. Lord Thurlow in
a speech in the house of lords on
July Is, 1897, stated that by stat
ute then in force the BARRIERS and
surgeons were required to use the
sign and to have the poles striped
blue and white, and a red rag TO
denote the particular nature OF their
vocation.
50. Why is ten usually the ba-
sis for a system of counting?
A. The explanation of the fact
that ten is generally used as the

bration tricks similar to those of
