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.

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.” THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 31, 1905. Wanted.
