Cooper for the def.nse. Mr Coop, i argument was a strong and <-ar> till defense, of his client and was par ticularly ingenious in view of the fact that til ha I Offered practically no evidence for the di fciro nor had he impeached any of the witnesses.

Mrs Hall, who lives near Joiner, was the next witness introduced by the state. At this stage of the trial Solicitor Ellis drew forth a small envolope in which the em ployes of the mills receive their money. This envelope was a small one and had blood stains on it and also had Joiner's name written on it. Solicitor Ellis stated that he would introduce that envelope as evidence. He asked Mrs. Hall if she had ever seen that envelope before. She said that she had, that it was the one Joiner had the afternoon before the killing. She was asked by Mr. Cooper if she wasn’t the prosecutrix In the case and also if she wasn't the one who had Joiner arrested. (Mr. Cooper fired all sorts of questions at her until Solicitor Ellis Jumped to his feet and protested against some of the ques tions, The Judge ruled that the questions ■were admissable and Mr. Cooper pro ceeded IMr. Cribb, a foreman In the mills, tes tified that Jwlner did not have any scratch es on his face Saturday evening when he left the mill but that he did have them on Sunday morning At this stage of the trial the prisoner.

He also said that It was impossible for any one to get scratched on one of the machines. The state then closed. Mr. Cooper wanted to recall Mr. Clark, but he had been excused. He then -•’’led in Mr. F. H. ‘Brown to see If he could recognize Air. Rob Smith, of the Telegraph. (He was unable, to do so and seemed terri bly angry when questioned. The attorneys for the defense held a consultation with the prisoner for about fifteen minutes. When they came back Joiner wns placed on the stand. Folowing is the official statement made •by Joiner on the stand: Gentlemen of the Jury: On the evening of the 9th of April, 1898, I was at work, and just before completing my day’s work in the cotton mill I scratched my face ac cidentally. One of the parts of the drawing frame scratched my face and shortly af terwards I completed my work and I goes on through the' mill office and lingers around there and went home and stayed there until after supper and after supper I made my way down town.

Nora, my wife, said she sent for my father and mother, and I guess Ida Hall came in about that time to see how my old lady was; she was very sick with a little baby two weeks old and to wait on her my father and mother; and I slept sound all night; I went to bed; I was not restless at all about nothing. I woke up the next morning, my wife woke me up asking who was at the door, and 1 goes in my night clothes and Lieutenant •Clark or Officer Clank comes in and ex amines my pants. 1 don't know whether ho examined them or not, he loked at them; at the pants, and shoes and coat and hat, and he asked to let him see my razor, and I went to the bottom of the trunk and got it out, and he examined it and went out, agd I went back to bed wondering what was up, and in a few minutes he come back and told me to get up and dres and go with him and 'I did so, making no resistance at all, and going to the policeman’s box he asked me about the fight last night 1 had, and I says I don’t know anything about it, and he says you just as well tell me all about, it, the fellow is not hurt; he is down town walk ing about now; tell me all about it, and I told him that I didn’t know anything to tell him; I never had any fuss of any kind and I didn’t know what. I was locked up for until 9or 10 o'clock. Then folowed a long rambling state ment from Joiner in which he accuses one of the witnesses, Mrs. Hall, of bringing on this accusation against him from pure spite. In this he makes no reference to the crime, 'but atempts to discredit the witness by traducing her character. After coming off the stand the defend ant said he desired to make an additional statement, which was as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury, that testimony this morning of that darkey, that is false; I didn’t meet any body that night at all <*s I was going home from Second street. 1 goes up Second strel to Ogelthorpe and turned up there ami bocs light by that factory wall and by the office and turns around that corner and makes my way home; I never met any negro woman as 1 goes through the pool lot at all.

Macon will be well represented at the convention of the League of American Municipalities to be held In Detroit in August. Council last night decided to send Mayor Price and City Clerk Bridges Smith to represent Macon. One of the most interesting features of the entire convention will be the reading of a paper on “Water Supply,” by Judge George Hillyer, president of the water board of Atlanta. Having been connected with the department there for a number of years, Judge Hillyer is thoroughly fa miliar with his subject and his paper will be of great interest for the delegates. The following subjects will be discussed at the convention: “■Municipal Ownership of Public Service Industries” —What progress has been made . in this line in the United States and Cana- i da and with what results? What shall be ’ its limitations? “Remuneration'' to Cities for Franchise ' Rights In, Over and Under Public Streets and Alleys”—What remuneration, if any, should be exacted from light water, street railway, telephone and subway corpora tions, and how should it be collected? “The Civil Service"—What results have been attained by requiring applicants for positions in city departments to pass an examination and making their tenure of office dependent on good behavior and mental and physical ability? To what de partments should civil service laws apply? “Garbage Disposal”—What has been the experience of municipalities in attempting to collect and dispose of garbage in a sani tary and economical manner? Are the present utilization and Incineration inven tions satisfactory and what does it cost to operate them? “Public Water Supplies”—What means should a municipality employ to supply its people with an ample supply of pure water at equitable rates?

TEACHERS GONE TO THE SPRINGS To Attend the Convention of the Association at That Place. Superintendent D. Q. Abbott and a num ber of teachers left last night and this morning to attend the convention at that place. At the last convention it was decided to hold the meeting for this year at Cumber land island, but it was recently to hold the convention at Indian Spring, so that as many teachers as possible might be allowed to attend, as the place was more central. It is expected that the convention will be one of the largest in the history of the state association, as the point of meeting is centrally located and the large number of teachers who would not have gone to Cumberland island on account of the dis tance will be enabled to attend the conven tion after all. The convention will remain in session for three days and the Macon delegation will return Saturday afternoon. The work of the convention this year will consist in the reading of essays by several of the prominent educators in the state and the open discussion of educa tional questions of vital importance to the ' schools.

REGULAR WORK OF CITUOUNCIL Will Use Cement Rock on Several Streets for Pav ing Purposes. LIQUOR DEALERS PETITIGH That the Balance of the License be Remitted on Account of Dull Times—Other Action. Under a resolution presented In council last night at the regular meeting, Third street from Mulberry to Ocmulgee, Walnut street from Fourth to First and Ocmulgee street from Fourth to Second will be laid down with the cement rock which was used on Second and Plum streets provided the street committee approved the resolu tion and recommends the work. The liquor dealers of the city asked that the balance- due on the license for this year be remitted in view of the fact that the war has stagnated their business and they are unable to make the money that they could make before the outbreak of the war. The petition will be referred to the finance committee and if they see that ■ the city can do without the money which J will amount to about $7,000, the liquor i dealers will be made happy. The Consolidated Street (Car Company ■ asked for permission to abandon the track used by the 'Metropolitan street car line from Cotton avenue to First and up First as far as the intersection of Poplar and j connect with the track of the Consolidated at the intersection of Cherry street and Cotton avenue. Under the report of the committee the request of the city engineer to be allowed to use cement rock as the foundation for the brick pavement on Cherry street was granted. A resolution to have a new city code drawn up was referred to the finance com mittee. The Board of Health asked that a penal ty be placed on the stopping up of any of the outlets or inlets to the sewers. The city attorney was instructed to ap ply for an appeal in the case of A. B.

Mrs. Atkinson’s Address to the Women of the State. ■Atlanta, June 29—(Mrs. Governor Atkin son’s address before the representative body of women assembled at her call Mon day was as follows: I will (briefly outline a history of the emergency fund movement. Early in .May a party of friends accompanied me to Camp Northen, where we dined with the officers of the First and Second Georgia volunteer regiments. 'While there we learn ed that it would be six or seven weeks be fore the soldiers would receive their first monthly salary from the government. It seemed to me that they had needed it sev eral weeks. Soon after returning home I made an appeal to the good people of the state, urging that an emergency fund be raised •through the organization of relief asso ciations in all parts of the state. After lhe Third regiment is mustered In there will be forty-six companies and two light batteries from Georgia in the service of our country, together with a 'Georgia battalion of naval reserves now in train ing at (Brunswick. Thirty-six of these companies are in the First, Second and Third Georgia volunteer regiments, and ten Georgia companies are in Colonel Ray’s regiment of immunes. The other two companies of 'Colonel Ray’s regiment aro from Florida and South Carolina. The advantages and purposes in organ izing a “Georgia army and naval league” are: Ist. To avoid danger of omitting any of the companies in the distribution of the relief funds. 2nd. To encourage and aid In the organ ization of other relief associations in the state. 3rd. To keep informed of the various as sociations and the amounts raised by them. Also to secure accurate statements from each one as to what companies their funds are sent to, that we may avoid waste in the form of misdirected efforts or dupli cated aid. 4th. To ascertain what companies are in need of aid or are being omitted entirely. sth. To keep accurate accounts of the funds which may be forwarded from time to time to the various companies from the relief associations. The object of the “Georgia army and navy league” is not in any way to inter fere with or curtail the power of any local organizations but to encourage and aid in their formation, and to secure uniformity of method among them. If the purposes of this organization can be attained no Georgia soldier or and no family of a Georgia soldier or sailor who may need help will be over looked. and no one who is able and willing to render help will remain inactive and unsolicited. 'Nothing will prevent the full accomplishment nf our purpose except the indifference and misapprehension of those from whom we have a right to except moral and material aid. Tomorrow morning from 9 to 12 o’clock, we will sell a lot from one of our coun ters of gent’s shoes that were 500 and 6.00 for 2.25. Fire Sale Rochester Shoe Stock.
