THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, I?"*. NEW COURT OF APPEALS BEGINS GRIND OF JUSTICE JANUARY 1ST. First Docket Will Keep Justices Very Busy. TO USE TEMPORARILY SUPREME COURT ROOM Logan Bleckley To Be Clerk, Sketches of the Three Justices Just Nom inated. The new court of appeals will begin operation on January 1, 1907, follow ing the regular election of the three Judges In November. For some time, at least, this court will use the su preme court room for its sessions, so arranging the schedule that the two courts will not conflict. It will open with a docket sufficient to keep the three justices busy, for a large percentage of the October docket of the supreme court will be trans ferred to It. The terms of the three Justices Just nominated will run two, four and six years. The Judges will determine among themselves by lot who shall have the two, four and six years. A presiding Justice will be selected by the three among thcli own number. As the terms expire, a new Judge Is to be chosen by the people for a full term uf six years. Two will constitute a quo rum In deciding cases. The new court will have Jurisdiction over cases which do not Involve the constitution of the state and United States or the constitutionality of nn act of the general assembly. When such Issues arise In eases brought be fore the court of appeals, thut ques tion will be referred to the supreme court, which will render nn opinion to be embodied In the decision of the court of appeals. The decisions of the supremp court are binding on the court of appeals as precedents. The court will elect Its own clerk and sheriff Logan Bleckley, for many years the efficient and popular deputy clerk of the supreme court, will be clerk of the new court of appeals. That Is a guarantee that the machinery of the court will be correctly and expe ditiously administered from its incep tion. The stenographer of the supreme court will serve the court of appeals until other provisions are made. The salaries of the Judges will be $4,000 per annum and that of the clerk of the court will be the same. It Is ul timately the purpose to provide sepa rate quarters for the court of appeals. It Is not Improbable that the large room on the third floor of the capitol, south west corner, will be fitted up for that purpose. There are spveral rooms on this floor that could be used as prlvato offices for the Judges. BUNDHICK'S BROTHER TRYING TO SAVE FROM THE GALLOWS Judge U. V. Whipple nnd Z. T. Bun- drlck, of Cordele, nre in Atlanta to ap pear before the prison commission Tuesday to request commutation of sentence for George W. Rundrlck, un der aentence of death for October 17. Judge Whipple was Rundrlckis coun sel In the trial and Z. T. Rundrlck Im a brother of tho convicted man. Beptember, 1902, Rundrlck met J. H. Bhrouder In the public road. Rundrlck was walking and Bhrouder was In buggy with his wife. Rundrlck shot and killed Bhrouder and slightly wounded hts wife. It Is paid that a feud had existed between the two for several years, and that they had agreed to meet at a point where the tragedy occurred, and "shoot It out.” According to the testimony of Shrou- der’a wife her husband let his buggy top back. Rundrlck took this for the opening of hostilities nnd fired twice. He stated that Bhrouder fired at him once with A rifle* he had In the buggy, and was preparing to shoot again, when he killed him In self-defense. Evidence of relatives of the dead man, however, was to the effect that no phot had been fired from the rifle. walterTballard op tical CO.

The chief has not been able to com plete the report, owing to the pressure of other business. JUDGE RICHARD B. RUSSELL Judge R. R. Russell, of Winder, led the ticket In the race for ap pellate judgeships, which Js In the nature of a very distinct compliment to the Jackson county man. Judge Russell was not a voluntary candidate; In fact, he had no In tention of entering tjie race. But on the final day for candidates to pay the entrance fee, a friend paid the money. When Judge Russell found that he was a candidate—whether or no—he hot-footed It to Atlanta and entered a protest to his friend. Mrs. Russell, too, vetoed the plan, but the people did not. They went to the polls and heartily supported the judge for the place. He won hands down, and never solicited a man to vote for him, which is In the way of being something unique in elections. Judge Russell—really It seems presumptions to try to tell the public nbout him. At any rate, he was born In Cobb county In 1861. When only 17 years of age he graduated from the University of Georgia and a year or so later from the law department. They didn't wait until he was 21 before sending him to the legislature. But they made no mistake, be cause he showed great aptitude for the game. Then fie was elected solicitor general of the western circuit, after wards becoming judge of the same circuit, and from which he re signed to enter the gubernatorial campaign. He Is said to have prodig ious capacity for work'. JUDGE BEN H. HILL JUDGE A. G. POWELL Henjuirfin Harvey Hill Is tho worthy son of one of Georgia's greatest men, the lamented Sen ator Benjamin Harvey Hill, lie Is an able lawyer, a quiet and dlgnl- ned gentleman and In every way eminently qualified for the new responsibilities Georgians have bc- stowetf upon him. Judge Hill Is the eldest son of Senator Hill, and was bom In the historic old homestead at LaGrango In Troup county July 1, 1849. Ho attended the common schools of Troup county until he was 17, when he entered the University of Georgia, from wfytch he graduated in 1869 with the degree of A. B. and B. L. He was selected by his classmates as commencement or ator. After graduation he went abroad, spending a year In Europe travel ing and studying. He was admit ted to the bur In 1872, and formed a partnership with his distinguish ed father, which continued until Senator Hill died in 1882. In 1887 Governor Colquitt named him ^‘T#*or general of the At lanta circuit, and he was re-elected by the legislature for a term of four years. He declined a third term and was succeeded by his brother, Charles Hill, now solicitor. During Cleveland's first term Mr. Hill was appointed United States district attorney for the northern district of Georgia. He has since been associated with his brother In the practice of law. Arthur Gray Powell, of Blakely, is reckoned one of the ablest young Inwyers In Georgia. That is the verdict of the Hupretne court of Georgia, which Is about as expert testimony along that line as Is obtainable. He is young, having been born September 2. 1873. but nobody who knows him has any apprehension as to his ability and fitness for his new position. It Is said that he has the best law practice In his entire section of the state, which he has built up by sheer merit. Self-made Is applicable to him, for he began hustling for himself early In life. When only 14 he was nn apprentice In a printing office, and not very mucb older when ho taught school. Mercer Is his alma mater, and before he wan 18 • he was admitted to the bar. In 1903 he attended the law department of the University of Virginia. When only 21 Governor Atkin son appointed him judge of the county of Blakely, which place he filled with ability for four years. He was then tendered the position of solicitor of the Pataula circuit, but was not old enough to accept tho profer. Judge Powell was married In 1896 to Miss Annie Wilkins, of Miller county, and they have two charming children. He Is promi nently identified with several busi ness enterprises In Blakely, where he was born and raised. usic St. Nicholas Rink. NEGRO WOMAN USER RAT PIN AS WEAPON The hat pin as a weapon Is not so much of a Joke as It has been consid ered. That a woman can do things with one is not a pure product of the funmaker's mind. Rosa White, a black woman, got Into a squabble with Conductor H. O. Hart bn an East Point car Monday evening and drawing the pin which held her hat to her head, she indicted a very pain ful wound by sticking It obliquely into the street car official's side and tear ing It out. Hart got her weapon from her nnd then she tried to cut him up with a case kntf*. The conductor held the woman until he got to East Point, where he turned her over to County Policeman Peacock. MRS. MARYA. GOSSETT ALMOST CENTENARIAN Mr*. Mary A. Gossett, of 152 Wheeler atreet, filed Monday morning; at the age of 95 yiata. Mix. Gossett was born in Dooly county and hart lived In At lanta for many yeara. Her body was aent to Courtney for Interment Tues day. Mrs. Oo.sett was horn a year before the war of 1812. She watched Jhe growth of the young nation, lived through the war with Mexico, watched the four year, of civil war and the pe riod that followed It and In her old age raw her descendant* march away to light In the war with Spain.

J., one of the oldest com panies In the East, -will be licensed to do business In Georgia this week and has already appointed the Atlanta gen. oral agency of J. L. Riley & Co. aa ita representatives.

MARTIN V. CALVIN MAY BE SUCCESSOR TO CAPTJEDDING Augusta Man May Be New Director of Experiment Station. After 17 years at the head of the Georgia experiment station at Griffin, It seems more than probable that Cap tain R. J. Redding will be retired at the meeting of the directors In Griffin on Wednesday, and Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta, put In his place. The directors, 14 In, number, will meet at the experiment station on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock to elect officers for the experiment work In Georgia for the ensuing year. Senti ment among the directors seems to be crystallized Into tha belief that Captain Redding should now retire from active service because of his advanced years. All of them recognise his long and faithful service to the state and the splendid Work he has accomplished In advancing the agricultural and horti cultural Interests of Georgia. To him belongs the credit of Georgia's great ytrtdes along this line In recent years. Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta, who will, In all probability, succeed Captain Redding, 1s well equipped for this work. He has represented Rich mond county In the legislature many years, and has always been deeply In terested In agricultural matters. If elected to the posltloh he will - give Georgia splendid service. The position pays $2,000 a year. This will probably be the only change In the personnel of the officials con nected with the station. Horticulturist Starnes and Professor Willoughby, In charge of the dairy work, will be re elected. Welcomed to Atlanta By Officials of the State and City. PRESIDENT G, B. HUGO DELIVERS ADDRESS Miniature Exposition of the Bottling Machinery at New Kimball. said i Thirty-one million feet of lumber U to be tied up In the territory con trolled by local lumber Interests be- of one of the fliost serious freight car shortages within the past several yeara. Saw-mills have been closed down and quite -a number are running on half time because of the Inability of the manufacturers to move their stocks. Railroad men refuse to dlspusr the situation further than to say that they are doing their bist to supply the de mand. The call for cars Is by far the heaviest In years and the shortage Is affecting all the shipping Interests whose movements are heavier in the falt 'than other seasons. Conference Called. A meeting of the lumber manufac turers of this section Is expected to be called within the next two weeks to decide upon some mutual plan for re lief. The matter will be .thoroughly discussed at the convention of lumber nnd saw-mill people now In session at the Piedmont. George K. Smith, of Atlanta, made a short talk to the delegates Tuesday morning nnd reviewed the conditions ns reported from this section. He men tinned the car shortage and said that the lumber people were more seriously affected than any of the other shipping Interests. "The railroads are doing all they can possibly do,” said Mr. Smith, "but there Is a great quantity of lumber In this section awaiting shipment. Many of the manufacturers are cutting down their output because of lack of care to ship their stocks. Prices are good, but the demand Is not as brisk as is usual at this time of the year. "It Is estimated," he continued, "that at least 31,000,000 feet of lumber Is tied up. "Labor Is scarce, too, and this af fects the lumber business more or less. Carpenters and all other branches of the building trade are busy and there Is plenty of room for other laborers How much damage the recent storm did Is unknown, unless men have been sent out to mako an estimate. I do knpw a great deal of damage was dono along the Gulf and Ship Island road and south of Hattiesburg, Miss. Blacks have been blown down and mills un roofed. It Is possible that portable mills will be sent out to save the fallen tim ber.” GIRL OF TWELVE COMMITS SUICIDE Owosso, Mich., Oct. 9.—Declaring ahe was tired of living, Bessie Gerady, 12 years old, swallowed poison before 20 of her classmates yesterday and died In the school room an hour laler.
