much controversy among physicians
as to the efficacy of the healing
powers of auto-suggestion. Altheught

gave many demorstrations of his
methods in American clinies.

for a short lectuie tour. Since then
his life in Naney had been rather

macist in Troyes and served as an in.
terne in hospitals for two years, He

in the modern sense—bhut was always
a strong advicate of the system of

CRISP SUPERIOR COURT W‘ILL‘
BE HELD ON REGULAR SCHED.
ULE.
The Crisp County Bar Association
met today to assign civil cases for
trial at the July term of court, and a
motion was made by some members
of the bar to adjourn the term of
court because of the term coming in
mid-summer, and the light docket.
Judge Crum presided at the meeting
stating to the bar that his policy was
to hold all terms of court as fixed
hy the calendar of the circuit, and
the trial of such civil business as liti
gants and counsel desired disposed
of in the various counties, It was de
cided that the court be regularly
held, and cases of the civil docket
were assigned for trial,
The sumnier terms of the courts in
the Cordele circuit would ordinarily
begin with the convening of court in
Wilcox county on Monday July sth
but because the people of Fitzgerald
and Ben lill county have arrange
for this date a great Fourth of July
celebration, this court at Abbeville
has been adjourned over until Tues
day, July 6th, at which time all mat
ters coming before the court wiil be
in order for hearing.
The civil and eriminal dockets of
the counties of Wilcox, Ben Hill
Dooly and Crizp comprising the Cor
dele cirenit, are unusually iight, due
to the policy of consistently holding
the courts at the times fixed, and the
elficient manner of di:iim.'in;: of the
Lusiness with as few jurors as pos
ible, brought about by the coopera
tion of the attorneys of the cireuit.
[t has been such that the courts
in all the counties are nearer up with
their work than has been te case
in years, and te business has been
transacted at a minimum of expense
