W. B. King out of Jail.
W. B. King, the Gainesville insurance
agent who has been in the Forsyth
county jail for several weeks awaiting
trial on two charges of forgery, was this
week liberated upon the nol pressing of
these cases by the solicitor general.
This was requested by the parties who
had been prosecuting the cases. It will
be a source of gratification to Mr.
King's friends here that the matter has
been satisfactorily adjusted.
Fjghting Some at New Holland.
Warrants were this week sworn out
for Ed Jones, Steve Coker, and Chas.
Hyde of New Hollaiftl charging them
with assault and battery. The first two
named have been arrested and have
given bond. It is alleged that these
young men are the principals in a gen
eral affray which occurred at the store
at New Holland last Saturday night.
Conflicting stories as to the origin of
the trouble are afloat. In the rucus Mr.
Dave Lay, the head man of the grocery
department of the mill commissary,
was hit over the head in an attempt to
take a bottle of whisky or a pistol away
from one of the most vigorous of the
combatants.
Two Girls Stopped 200 Looms.
According to the statement of one of
the superintendents of the Gainesville
Cotton Mills, the arrest and detention
of two of the girl operatives of that
factory Tuesday night stopped the oper
ation of 200 looms. Nina and Hester
Phillips, after going to Chattahoochee
Park Tuesday night, missed the last car
in, so they state, and were picked up by
the night police about three or four
o’clock yesterday morning ,on the
streets in company with a Mr. Vaughan,
and cases were made against them for
violating the curfew law. They were
missed exceedingly at the mills and
efforts were made to get them out on
bond. At the request of the mill men
their cases were tried yesterday morn
ing before Mayor pro tern Ed White,
and they were each given fines of $1
and costs, which were promptly paid.

Still Caught Near Camp Ground.
An illicit whiskey distillery was cap
tured by the revenue officers within
only a short distance of the camp
ground at Lebanon last Saturday,
plump in the middle of the camp-meet
ing time. Officer B. B. Landers, as
sisted by Mr. H. L. Richardson, made
the haul, and besides taking the outfit
they arrested a man named Tom Green
and a youth named Ezekiel Buffington,
about 18 years of age. The boy was
fearfully frightened when caught and
accused of the serious offense of being
partner to a still. It is very unusual
that a distillery is found in the section
• of the county south of Gainesville, only
one having been discovered in that part
of the county in a number of years. It
was specially of interest that the ille
gitimate drunk factory should have been
caught during the camp-meeting. It is
said that Green was taken several days
before his final capture and that three
or four witnesses whom the revenue
officers had every reason to believe would
communicate damaging testimony “did
not know a thing” when it came to a
show down. The officers did not rely
on other testimony the last time, but
went and got the offenders and the tes
timony themselves.
MYSTERIES OF RANK.
An African tribe That Bases Preced®
ence on Avoirdupois.
An African explorer tells of a
tribe he met whose members deter
mined worldly rank according to
avoirdupois. The heaviest savage
was chief of the tribe, the next fat
test was first lieutenant and so on.
As soon as a member gained in
weight over the neighbor next above
him in rank, he advanced one step
in authority. Wealth,, looks, person
al popularity, capacity, were not tak
en into consideration when deter
mining the standing of members of
the tribe.
It is a pity our English cousins
could not adopt some such simple
method of determining rank, for
their present scheme is so compli
cated that they themselves have dif
ficulty in understanding it, while to
the stranger within the gates its
technicalities are absolutely bewil
dering. For instance, we are told that
at a recent public dinner in Lon
don one hour was spent in arrang
ing the diners in anteprandial pro
cession according to rank. The gen
eral rule prescribes that the army
and navy shall have first place, then
the law, the church, medicine, “gen
tlemen” not engaged in any profes
sion and, lastly, those in “trade.”
In the latter class, however, it ap
pears that wholesalers are consider
ed more “respectable” than retail
ers, unless a retailer happens to be a
knight or a baronet, which some
times occurs, when he takes preced
ence over his business associates
who are mere commoners. But not
even all lawyers, it seems, are “gen
tlemen.” The question arose during
a case at law, and it was decided
that, while “barristers” are “gentle
men,” “solicitors” are not entitled
to that distinction. According to
English custom, a young man who
has just, been called to the bar is
many steps higher in the social scale
than his father, who is a millionaire
wholesale grocer.
In addition to the few instances
cited there are a whole host of spe
cial exceptions founded on birth, ed
ucation and other conditions that
make the English scheme of social
precedence a perplexing study for
those who desire to be punctiliously
correct.—Housekeeper.
When Mrs. Stowe Awoke.
A friend of mine, a northern wo
man, long a resident in Florida, once
gave me the following account of a
visit from Mrs. Stowe: “I had invit
ed her to spend the day, with sev
eral other ladies, at my villa. .She
came with an old white iur tippet
wrapped about her neck. She sat
all day near the open* fire, occupied
apparently with her own thoughts,
for she spoke to no one. When the
day was well nigh spent one of the
guests related* the remarkable expe
rience of a woman who had passed
through some danger—l forget of
what sort. Mrs. Stowe presently
startled us all by inquiring, with
some show of interest, ‘Did the wo
man live?’”—Julia Ward Howe on
Harriet Beecher Stowe in Reader
Magazine.
Criticism For Tennyson.
Alfred Tennyson early made it a
rule to read aloud his newly written
poetry to private friends in whose
judgment and taste he could confide.
It has come to light that he once
called at Cheyne row and read a
new poem to Mrs. Thomas Carlyle
and then asked, “What do you think
of it ?” With characteristic and al
most merciless outspokenness she
replied, “I think it is perfect stuff!”
Somewhat discouraged, Tennyson a
short time afterward read it to her
again. “It sounds better this time,”
was her criticism that day. On his
reading the poem a third time Mrs.
Carlyle was obliged to confess that
she liked it very much, and Tenny
son immediately communicated with
his publishers.
The Playful Owl.
Not even an owl is as much of a
hermit as it appears. The little fel
low that all summer long sleeps by
day in the hollow apple tree and
hoots by night from the adjacent
tree tops has a taste for company,
and when two meet their hooting
gives way to a varied range of lowly
murmured chatterings very differ
ent from the conventional cries of
all owldom. Keep a pet one (and
they are easily tamed), and you will
find them not only as wise as they
look, but not averse to rough and
tumble fun.—Montreal Star.
A Substitute.
A farmer paid a visit to a neigh
bor, and as he passed along by the
side of the fields he made a mental
note of the fact that no scarecrows
were visible. Meeting his neighbor
almost immediately, he opened con
versation as follows:
“Good morning, Mr. Oates. I see
you have no scarecrows in your
fields. How do you manage to do
without them ?”
“Oh, well enough,” was the inno
cent reply. “You see, I don’t need
’em, for I’m in the fields all day my
self.”
