JURY M NARO CASE
 RETIRES FOR NIGHT
No Report Before Monday Is
 Expectation

No verdict was reached Saturday by the jury trying Mrs. Edna Marc. charged with the murder of Ralph Rob- erts of Pratt City in March, 1922, and late Saturday night the jury, after be- ing locked in since getting the case about : o'clock Friday evening, was taken to hotel for the night
 If the deadlock is broken. sealed verdict may be returned some time Sunday, but it will not be announced until Monday morning. Court attend ants Saturday said it was unlikely that a new trial probably would be neces- sary.
 Mrs. Marc was convicted in a for mer trial and received sentence of 25 years in the penitentiary. The case was reversed in the supreme court af- ter Mrs. Marc had served part of her term. Ali Marc, her husband, is now serving a 25-year sentence as one of the participants in the murder.

 Fl won't" he says Holm replied.
 The officer informed Holm he would have to stand back oS sign bond for appearance in police court. ,
 Il won't do either," Holm retorted, whereupon Rogers escorted him to the city hall.

 Holm refused to, pay the fine and was insisting on being returned to jail when one of his friends stepped forward and handed the recorders clerk five spot. This automatically caused Holm's release.

VICTORY SCHOOL
 GETS NEW NAME
Citizens Of Community Ask Board Of Education To Honor
 Women Member

Mrs. \. L. Bagley, first and only woman member of the Jefferson county board of education, received an un- usual honor at the hands of her fel- ldw board members when they voted to change the name of Victory school to Bagley school.

She was especially instrumental in getting an appropriation of more than S12,000 for new six-ro0m tile school build ing at Victory.
 T deeply appreciate this honor,' Mrs. Ragley said Saturday night. Il have always felt great interest," in rural education and have tried to pro- vide better. buildings for smaller com muneties. It is gratifying to know that what have been able to do is appreciated"
 Mrs. Bagley added. however. that she regarded the honor ds tribute to the growing importance of women in public life and educational work.
 "When I ran for membership on the board of education, there was q mark ed unwillingness on the part of peo- pie in the Victory community to elect woman to such an office, and I re- ceived very few votes there," she said. "It is interesting to see how that feel ing has changed" .s
 Mrs. Bagley is said to be the only woman in the county to have school named after her. and the second mem- Der of the board of education to re. ceive this honor. -

PROTECTION FOR
 REAL PUBLICITY

Several thousands of dollars are yearly saved Birmingham merchants through the work of the protection committee of the advertising club, F. T. Holberg, vice president of that body, estimates.
 This committee meets weekly with Chamber of Commerce officials to in vestigate advertising schemes and it is said to have accomplished an unlimited amount of good in ferreting out fax CTS" and fake ideas.'
 The body was organized three years ago following the boom of the post war period when nearly all retail mer- chants. having large advertising ap- propriations bought practically all the space offered them. Its purpose was to combat the vast army of solicitors, which sprang out of nowhere at that time.
 '.'Fhe day of the advertising parasite is over so far as Birmingham is con- cerned," Mir IIolberg says. When a solicitor comes in here now about all I have to do is to point to the sign on the wall, which reads that we are not proposition until it has received the in- uorseHieAt 0i tHS Nh"AA"Si o' SoiiA merce.

ers of the Smith kindergarten

gusta was discussed. A committee

that they would give their time and

nature was needed so a committee
from the Augusta Free Dental Clinic

members of the Smith Kindergarten
Mothers Club. and the Public School
Teachers, and delegates from the va
rious ladies clubs. brought the mat
ter before the Board of Education
during the year. The Board feeling
the great need Of this work appro-
priated the sum of 5000 to carry on
the work of the Clinic until their
annual meeting on Jan. I, 1924.
DR.. Walter G. Thomas, the School
Dentist. was engaged to do the work
and has treated 25 children bringing
the total to $50 cases in two years
ending Jan. 1, 1924.
At the completion Of this year the
matter again came before the board
for discussion at which time the sum
of $500 was appropriated to carry on
the Clinic to Jan. 1, 1925. 1t was
also moved that a note Of thanks be
extended to the Dental Clinic for the
splendid service which they have
| rendered to the children of the city.
At recent meeting of the Augusta
Free Dental Clinic Aid. it was voted
| to extend thanks to the Board of
Education for the splendid coopera-
| ton they are giving.
