their funds to the treasurer of the state
organizations, Mrs. Thomas H. Morgan,

families of Georgia soldiers and sail
'd s which may be in need of aid.
The privilege is given each local as

three purposes they desire their funds
to be used for: or. they may leave it
to the discretion of the state organiza

"The New York society swells who are
members of T. ddy Roosevelt's regiment
of rough riders have been the recipients
of nttniy social courtesies at the hands
of our citizens.' said Mr. H. C. Wallace
of the Alamo City.
''Colonel Roosevelt himself haa been
llonix.d. and so many invitation* have
poured in on him that he has been
obliged to decline them all. The camp
fare of the regiment hasn't beici on the
Deimnnloo order by any means and a
good deal of grumbling has been made
by the troops at the Inadequacy of the
arrangements for their comfort. Singu
larly enough, most of the kicking has
beeen done by the eovthoy element, al
though one would naturally think that
the New York contingent, used to lux
ury In every form, would utter the most
complaint.

LAW CUTS NO FIGURE.
How a Chatham County Justice Did
the Jury’s Work.
Savannah, July 10—Seme of the most
'lnteresting storiea of court procedure
come from the Justice court*, and In
cidents moil amusing are now and
then reported.
A Savannah lawyer hod a case before
a Jury in one of the Justice courts of
1 the county the oth.yr day, the case hav
ing already been passed upon by the
1 Justice. He represented tbe defendant,
las It happened, lost the ease. After
! going throueh with the evidence and
' arguments, «vhleh occupied some tim?,
I (he justice turned to the Jury and in
substance said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, the law of
Georgia does not require me to charge
you in these cases, but this Is such an
Imporlant case that I feel called on to
say a few words to you about it. Ju
ries in these Justice courts are not
required to be guided by the law and
the facts in the case, but the princi
ples of equity involved which you well
know. Gentlemen, I have decided this
esse in favor of the plaintiff; you can
retire and make up your verdict.”
It is needless to say that the jury
agreed with the judge under the cir
cumstances, and the defendant s only
hope now is in certiorari.
