Discussion as to whether or not
the decision is "atrocious humanity

comes an editorial debate on the
SoundnesS or fallacy of the minimum
wage doctrine, which opinion is wide
" at variance. Beyond any manner
of doubt as the Nashville Banner

SHOOTING STARS.
BIZ PHILANDER JOHNSON

As Time Passes.
Truth is stranger than fiction-you've
heard it Of yore.
I once knew a youngster so small
His presence I'd scarcely take note Of
before,
forgot he existed at all.
And now he has grown to be taller
than me,
And certain respect Is his due.
Since he's manly and honest and frank
as can be.
It's exceedingly strange, but it's
. true.
The acorn is nothing at all like tho
oak,
And the grub from the moth differs
far.
I looked on him once as q bit of joke.
How sadly mistaken We are.
I envy his earnestness. also his mirtfi,
And I know that he thinks am due
To make room for him and get or the
earth!
The things that seem strangest are
true!

Shakespeare.

While the precise date of the birth
OF William Shakespeare is undeter-
mined, it is generally accepted that It
was on the 23d Of April. 1854. that
he saw the light Of day at Stratford-
on-Avon in England. The year is
known. but the specific day is some
what vague. Agreement. however, has
been effected sufficiently to establish
this az the natal day of the greatest
dramatist Of the English language.
Now. 35s years later. his works are
heins produced not only in his native
English. but In other languages. The
lapse OF time has not dimmed his
suster or lessened his appeal to the
human understanding.
There are two reasons for. the en-

To Death

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-George
Washington was unintentionally en-
listed today in the fIibuster in the
senate against the administration bill.
When the senate convened, with a
motion pending to take up the ship
ping measure which was displaced
last night to allow the adoption of
conference reports on two appro'
priation bills, the presiding Officer
recognized Senator Glass, who in ac-
cordance with an order made by
the senate several weeks ago, pro-
ceeded to read Washington's Fare
well Address. The reading of the
address occpied the senate for the
first three quarters Of an hour and
gave the opponents of the shipping
bill an opportunity to map out a
program of further dilatory tactics.

SENATE'S WEDNESDAY
NIGHT SESSION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. % By
agreement among senate Republl-
can leaders the administration ship
ping bill was temporarily laid aside
last night in the senate" to allow
consideration Of conference reports
on the army and District of Column
bia appropriation bills. Adoption OF
these reports was followed by mo-
ton to take up again the shipping
bill and this was left pending when
a recess was taken at 8 o'clock
until today. ...... ....
Filibusters against TIE administra-
ton ship bill continued to rule the
senate and the flood of oratory
flowed on into the third successive
night session of that body.
Indications of exhaustion were
lacking and those composing the
group determined to kill the ship
measure by talking it to death seem
ingly gained in strength. Ihey
found new subjects for discussion
and an address of nearly two hours
bv Senator Borah, Idaho, on 1ecog-
milton of Russia, drew reply from

TWO MEN CONVICTED
OF WADE MURDER MAY
SOON Be At LIBERTY
Full Pardon Denied By Prison
Commission-Hardwick Ex-
pected To Act Quickly
ENDS CASE FAMOUS HERE
Three Other Defendants Indicted
For Crime Never Tried, And
Bills Recently Dismissed

ATLANTA, Feb. 22.-The
Prison Commission of Georgia to-
day formally recommended to
Governor Thomas w. Hardwick
that DR.. Charles K. Chapman and
Warren |. Johnson, serving life
sentences in the penitentiary at
Milledgeville, be paroled. A
full pardon was sought for both
men in their petition before the
Prison commission, but this was
denied.
AT the capitol early this after
noon it was generally believed
Gov. Hardwick will act quickly
on the recommendation Of the
commission, and that both will be
granted paroles.
Both DR.. Chapman and Johnson
were convicted in Sumter Superior
court Of the murder of Walter Wade,
a resient of Leslie, whose body was
taken from Flint river, at a point
several miles below the bridge at
Montezuma, in decomposed condi-
ton, during the summer of 1917.
At their trial Chapman and Johnson
introduced alibis as their defense,
the prosecutions case being based
almost wholly upon the testimony of
Mrs. Yertie Howell, a young woman
who swore she accompanied the mur-
der party from Americus on the night
of the homicide, and was present
when Wade was killed, going thence
with the party to Flint river, where
she alleged, Wade's body was thrown
into the river.
Indicted with Dir. Chapman and w.
|. Johnson, charged with the same
murder, were Walter. Johnson, a
brother-in-law of DIR. Chapman; G.
K. Chapman, Jr., his son; John Eth
K. Chapman, Jr., his son and John
Ethridge, a man-about-town at Amer
icus. Henry Harp, Leslie resident,
was arrested in connection with the
murder, but Mrs. Howell failed to
IDENTIFY him as member of the party
she alleged murdered Wade Several
months ago the indictments against
c. X. Chapman, Jr., Walter johnson
and John Ethridge were noll pressed
on motion Of Solicitor General julie
FELTON, at Americus.
The petition seeking pardon or
parole for DR.. Chapman and Warren
Johnson was signed by many promin-
ent residents of Americus, and it IS
believed here today's action by the
prison commission practically ends
the celebrated case,
