ABSENT WITNESSES FINED

Judge Rice has given the attorneys
and public at large to thoroughly
understand that the court is strictly
a business institution and no monkey
business will be tolerated by the
court. Heretofore some have been
in the habit of paying very little at
tntion to court summons and only at
tended when it suited their convent
ence and pleasure. While tits true
they were fined for this dereliction
of duty, still they didn't have much
concern as they most generally got
the fines suspended later during the
term.
Judge Rice intends to stop this
careless practice if possible, and un-
less most necessary reason is shown
for absence when duly summoned,
the erring one certainly will pay for
his carelessness.
Following is list of names Of par
ties served with personal process for
criminal cases this term and who
failed to attend. Judge Rice fined

said fines shall "stick." Here is the

FILM DRAMA OPENS AT THE JEFFERSON
Fuzzy Woodruff Comments on "The Four HorSemen
 of Apocalypse

The advance sale of seats is now on for the engagement of the Sl,ooo,ooo film drama "The Four Horsemen or the Apocalypse" which opens the season at the Jefferson theatre next Monday night. This big picture wih be shown here for one week, with a matinee daily after the first per formance.
 New York, Boston,, Chicago, Phil adelphia, Pittsburg and Los Angeles, have acclaimed The Four Horse- men of the Apocalypse,' as the most pretentious screen production ever offered to the public and the picture has broken all records for attendance fin each of the above named cities. The magnitude of the production and the thrilling dramatic incidents of the photoplay cannot adequately be described.
 To give an idea of press opinion of the productions the following ex- erpt from Atlanta, where the picture opened the season last Monday, is submitted: Fuzzy Woodruff critic for The Constitution, said, "One looks vainly for some standard by which comparison may be made for The Four Horsemen"-suffice 1t to say that as the throng wandered out or the theatre, stunned by their own thoughts, I heard a confirmed the- atregoer remark: This is the first show of the season in Atlanta. I am willing to bet it's the best show this year.. I'm inclined to back his es- timete of The Four Horsemen.' l 1 doubt if there was soul in that audience Monday night who didn't leave the theatre with a new idea of the power and possibilities of the screen. The audience filed out, up- lifted, inspired, ready to cheer ar weep or fight"
