How can rhododendrons be
grown successfully?
The secret of success with rho
dodendrons is to have the soil cool
and moist. They will not grow in
soil that has lime in it. In the
winter they should be deeply
mulched with leaves. In the SUM
mer they need an abundance of
water. They prefer shady places
and should be madded in one bed.

show this week belongs to Mary Hill
as the stern business woman and a
mother who used strange tactics up
on her children. In the first act she
catches the "home" spirit Of the
character, but in the last two acts
she becomes the new woman. AS
fine piece of work as one would
want to see in a stock production.
Edythe Elliott shows what she can
do with a quiet emotional daughter
role. This is not the star part, but
she plays it with as much SINGER
ity and charm as if it was the whole
play. Another fine big thing to the
credit of Miss Elliott, she permits
Miss Hill to take her own curtains.
Fine, mighty fine.
This is the second week of the re-
turn of Alice De Lane to the Berkell
company. II This woman is best in
flash roles, such as she has this
week. She is mighty clever along
these lines.

SUPERIOR COURT TO
CONVENE ON MONDAY
ONLY ONE PRISONER IN JAIL
AWAITING TRIAL, AND BUT
FEW CIVIL SUITS.

When the fall term of Terrell SUI
perior court convenes next Monday
morning Judge Yeomans will be con-
fronted by one of the lightest dockets
ever known in the county.
There are only 80 civil suits on the
calendar for trial, and none of these
are OF special public interest or inn
portance, Thirteen, exactly one-third
of the number, are divorce suits. A
majority Of those asking that the ma
trimonial knot be united are negroes.
Sheriff Woods has only one prison
er in Jail, and unless the grand jury
develops some criminal business that
branch of the court will have very
little to do.
The lone prisoner is Jimmie VIII
liams, a negro who is being held for
recklessly running over and fatally in
juring Albert Williams, another negro
who was in charge of a state highway
truck on the Dawson and Cuthbert
road near Nochway creek. The acct
dent occurred about two months ago

FIGHT FOR POSSESSION
OF LITTLE DAUGHTER
COUPLE FROM INDIANA AIR
THEIR MARITAL TROUBLES
IN COURT AT DAWSON.

A legal fight between father and
mother over their little girl, wherein
James w. Collard, we'll known rail
road engineer Of Indiana, sought by
habeas corpus proceedings to take the
child from his former wife, now living
near Dawson, resulted in a victory for
the mother in the courts Friday.
Collard first sued out writ of ha-
beas corpus in the City Court of Daw-
son, alleging that he was rightfully
entitled to the custody of his eight
year-old daughter, Dorothy Ouida
Collard, under order OF an Indiana
court following a decree Of divorce in
that court between him and his former
wife, who is now Mrs. Edna Mae Nc
Cormick and who resides with her
present husband on the farm OF DR.,
j. G. Dean near Dawson. Before this
proceeding was heard in the city court
Mr.. Collard, through his attorney, dis
missed the writ and brought new
proceeding in Terrell superior court.
Judge Marlin. of the city court, how
ever, declined to surrender his juris-
diction of the case, holding that the
court had already taken the child into
its custody, she then being i'll charge
OF an officer OF the court, and after
hearing evidence submitted by Mrs.
Collard vacated the writ and ordered
that the mother retain the custody OF
the little girl.
On the following day the case was
again brought up in the superior court
before Judge Yeomans, and plea
was interposed by counsel for Mrs
Mccormick that the matter had al
ready been passed upon by the city
court and that the decision Of that
court should not be interferred with
by the superior court. Judge Yeomans
sustained this contention, and allowed
the child to remain with her mother.
An order was passed requiring the
child to be kept in the jurisdiction OF
the court
1t is not known whether the father
will take further steps to obtain pos
session of his daughter.

A good many newspapers and periodicals that harp on what they characterize as ''the failure of prohibition" were among the outspoken op- ponents of prohibition in the days when the corner saloon flourished and the American brewery was going concern. These papers, or many of them, have wanted prohibit ion to fail. And the reflect ion is inevitable that of the press of the country had given cordial support to the prohib- ition act--if it had upheld prohibition because it was the law of the land and not sneer- ed at because the laws them selves did not meet with the editorial approval there would be 8 different order of things in the country today. The pro- hibition law is entitled to re- spect because the citizen owes that duty to his government and society, and he owes it in the matter of every law. Those he thinks he has the right to violate as we'll as those he contends the other fellow should respect.
