A Soldiers Honor.

The memory Of the soldier Maillet,
who was sentenced in 1915 to death in
contumaciam for having deserted to
the enemy, has now definitely been
cleared of all stain by the Mourges
Military tribunal. Maillets case was
pathetic. He fell in battle and his body
was afterward identified among others
buried at Auberive on the Marine. On
hearing that her husband was de-
serter Maillet's wife died of grief and
her two orphan boys were taken care
of by their grandfather. The COM
mune of Checy, his native village,
now lays claim to the honor of pay
ing for their upkeep.

fish. With fish, as with many other
foods, certain ideas, many Of them
false, have gained circulation. One
is that fish and milk or any milk or
cream dishes, such as ice cream, or
milk as drink, should never be taken
with crabs, oysters or lobster. When
these combinations have been found
to disagree with a person, such food
mixtures should be avoided, but there
is no reason why the average person
may not combine the two, provided
the fish or lobster is not served with
an acid sauce.

CURBSPIRIT OF
CURB MARKET
Numerous Farmers On Hand And
Buyers Are Plentiful Despite
Weather

The second curb market in Ameri-
Gus got off Saturday under a handi-
cap of very unpleasant weather with
unexpected success. Despite the
clouds, wind and near-freezing tenn
pemature, coupled with muddy coun-
try roads following three days Of
rain, dozen or more farmers were
on hand with farm produce of va
rious kinds. They found, also un-
expectedly, lively stream of house
wives, many of them this time bring
ing baskets, who bought literally for
Saturday and Sunday dinners. Much
the same line of produce as was of
fered Wednesday at the opening was
in evidence.
Mrs. r. f. Glenn, wife of the
president of the county farm bureau,
who was one of the first to sell out
Wednesday, disposed of her produce
early again today. Others did as well.
At the time for closing the market
little was left on hand.
A number of women were inquir-
ing tor beets and carrots today and
found none. A few beets were offer
cd Wednesday, Several farmers said
they had never before had any local
demand for carrots, but would plant
some at cree. Beets also are eX-
rccted to be plentiful on the curb
shortly.
Mrs. George Van Ripper, president
of the Woman's club, which sponsor
ed the curb market, was on hand and
braved the cold wind for couple of
hours to assist whenever possible at
the market. She expressed the be-
that within a short time a wide va
liety Of produce will be found on the
curb, as the farmers learn from the
patrons what is wanted and as the
season opens for other products.

The hearing was held only on the
case of DeVane, but there was an
agreement of counsel to let the case
of Harvey take the same course.
This was arranged so that the state
could call Mr. Harvey as witness.
This was done, but he proved poor
witness for the state. He admitted
he was at the home of the negro
Will Jones on the night of the first
first shooting when he and DeVane
were wounded but would give few
other replies, standing on his rig

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Presi-
dent Harding concluded his first year
in the White House in as good health
as when he tok the oath of office.
But such a satisfactory report will
not be made : year hence unless the
president recalls the old adage that
each day consists of eight hours for
work, eight hours for play and eight
hours for sleep.
The foregoing is on the authority
of Brig. Cen Charles L. Sawyer,
personal physician to the president,
who came with him from Marion.
'.The president works too much
and plays teo little," General Sawyer
sadly confessed.
He has let his job keep him too
close to mis- desk, taking time which
in justice to himself should have
'oeen spent in the open air, either at
golf, walking, riding or fishing.
Ac Well rs Ever.
Here is how General Sawyer
diagnosed the condition of his
patients;
HThe president has gone through a
trying, strenuous year of many great
responsibilities and much anxiety in
i splendid way.
'rhysi,ally he is apparently as
well today as when he started year
ago.
Regardless of ali privations of
close confinement and lack of usual
outdoor exercises, in which he has
always engaged, he reports as near
normal today as any man could pos
sibfy do. In other words, dare say
that President Harding is in prime
physical condition, equal to what he
was a year ago.
mo man could have improved
much under the load that he has
carried He has done well to hold
his place.
"No man can come into his office
with it's long hours and responsible
ties and change of normal habits, in
Guiding official duties and official
and exacting social obligations, and
have stood it any better than has
Warren G. Harding.
Must Conserve.
"But," his physician went on, "a
bank which permits its resources to
continually dwindle away soon faces
failure. This also is true of human
beings, and the president is no ex-
ception."
President Harding gets great fun
out Of his golf, aside from the physi-
cal benefits, and Dr.. Sawyer thinks
he should have gone South during
the winter for a week or so of golf.
Washington weather made golf i'm
possible.
''He should do it now" he declar-
ed.
'sFact is he fergets himself entire
ly and devotes himself to the duties
of his office. He is unfair to him
self. +"
General Sawyer has determined
that from now on his patient must

being fatal was that the negro could
not have survived great while al
ter being shot, as he did, going from
his home that night to neighbors and
being taken several miles away and
hiding until shot again the next day.
Genie Williams, the negro to whom
Jones frsr4t appealed for aid the
night that DeVane and Harvey vis-
tied his home, testified Jones had a
wound "in his side" but was not
clear exactly where it was located.
Found Pair Bleeding.
Paul Fulford and H. l.. Fulford,
white men living near the home of
the negro Jones, testified they heard
shots at Jones' home Sunday night,
and that after the shooting ceased
they went there to investigate the
cause. They found Benny DeVane
and Henry Harvey both near Jones'
home, bleeding and apparently seri-
ously wounded. Benny DeVane's car
was standing near Jones' house, and
DeVane and Harvey left in the car
soon aftelward, going in the direc-
ton OF Ellaville.
Neither of the Fulfords went with
DeVane and Harvey to Ellaville, but
it was said they met man named
O'Herm who accompanied them to
the office of DR.. Stewart and DR.. Jor-
dan, who dressed their wounds.
Neither DeVane or Harvey said
anything to the Fulford brothers as
to the cause of the shooting. The
Fulfolds did not see any one else at
Jones house, except the two wounded
men.
Minnie Jones, widow of viii Jones,
testified that she was at home the
night Benny DeVane and Henry Har-
vey visited there about midnight and
demanded that her husband come out
after FIRST asking for a tire patch
and matches or a lantern. She said
that she "peeped" through the key
hole and saw several men in the yard.
There were five there, she thought,
but she was not sure about the num-
Der. When her husband slipped out
the back door in an effort to escape,
the woman said, she crawled into the
loft of her home where she remained
until after the shooting subsidized and
DeVane and the others had left.
She was unable to identity De-
Vane or Harvey as among those who
visited her home Sunday night, but
testified positively that the first shot
fired was from a pistol Jones used
q single barrelled shotgun to. defend
himself she said.
DcVane Makes Statement
Benny peVane made a brief state
ment in which he admitted he was
at Jones house Sunday might, and
said Jones shot him. He said he did
not shoot at the negro and denied
