Perry and Mrs. Ham Addressed Meeting. The Ninth District Association of Rural Letter Carriers held their annual convention at this place Sat urday with a heavy attendance, ex ceeding any former meeting in at tendance ever before held of the Ninth District Association. President G. W. Gould expressed gratification at the attendance. Hon. H. H. Perry was present and addressed the meeting in a manner most fitting. Col. Perry said, dur ing his discourse, that he was pleased with the consideration the department on Post office affairs at Washington was showing the rural men, and gratified that the depart ment had made an increase in their salaries, and that he hoped in the very near future the depart ment could see its way clear to make further advance. Mr. Perry said the rural carriers were doing much good for the ad vancement of education, in that they carried literature to the remote sections of the country. And as conclusive evidence that the carriers were entitled to further increase in pay, he said that the parcels post, recently adopted, made the work of the carriers almost double in some instances, and that this system was increasing all the time. Mrs. H. W..J. Ham also addressed the meeting for a few minutes, ex pressing appreciation of the hearty co-operation she was receiving from the local carriers in an effort to give the patrons of the Gainesville office the best and most efficient service.

It Was Some Game. Last Friday evening the Newman- Priersou-McEver nine crossed bats with the nine of W. J. & E. C. Pal mour at Brenau Park, and if you did not see this game you missed more fun than you may ever expect to hear of in Gainesville. There were so many features to the game that it could not b'e de cided by a half dozen Philadelphia lawyers which were the main ones. • but according to the writer’s way of seeing things the main feature was a Rausum Gitter pushing down a I thirty foot section of the fence, | being the first time we ever heard 1 of such a thing. Especially at a free game. The next main feature of the game was several runs by Senator Ernest Palmour, and. take it from us, he can run. Also Erskine Little made a home ! run that put him square with the! fans. And Bob Greenway and 1 J. W. McElhannon and C. E. Smith and Arthur Roper and many others ! pulled off some plays. The final 1 score was 6 to 5 in favor of both j sides some say—but was awarded to the Newman - Frierson - M eEve ' Nine. GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1914 NEW PHASES IN AUTOMOBILE LAWS FOR GAINESVILLE. ■ Two Younq Men Fined for Making Unnecessary Noise with Horn —F. M. Johnson, Star Witness, Helps Pay Fines. A new idea in the running of an automobile in the city of Gainesville came under observation at police matinee Tuesday afternoon when Neal Powell and Frank Pendergrass, . employees of the Georgia Power i Co., were haled into court charged •with disorderly conduct, which hap- I pened to be the unnecessary noise lof tooting their horn while coming up Main street. Col. F. M. Johnson was the city's ' star witness, and when Mayor Ru i dolph fined them $2, shorn of the i usual costs that accompanies the i city fines, the Col. paid $1 on the i fines and gave the defendants his witness fee. Ft seems that Monday morning the boys, coming up Main street, saw a couple of wagons ahead of them, and according to their evidence they blew their horn considerably, but ' according to the evidence of the officers and Col. Johnson, they blew their horn more than considerably. Hence the fines. Now, we would like to say that in some cases the automobile drivers do not blow their horns enough. We did not hear this disturbance for ! which these young men were fined, I and don’t know anything about it, ■ but if we had not spread out in the i pedal extremities something after the fashion of a bullfrog and made good our escape a few days ago, there would certainly have been a bunch of our friends singing Rock of Ages over our remains, and it was all because a man failed to give warning by use of his horn while driving down Main street, right on the spot where these boys were ar ] rested for blowing their horn. Os i course it wouldn’t have amounted ■ to much about us, but some import- ■ ant individual might get killed i some time. There should be an ordinance com pelling every automobile driver to continually blow his horn while on ■ the main thoroughfares of the city. It seems to us that what we need just now is to put the ban on the , speeders, not the fellow who toots his - horn as warning to any who . might carelessly step in front of his ' automobile while passing down the street. I You can go to any city and hard ily hear yourself think for the hum drum kept up by auto horns and j street car gongs, yet with this the j death rate of these modern convey ances is appalling.. tit Helen Today. j The Presbyteria Sunday school is ■at Helen today enjoying their an ' nual picnic. The Gainesville & ' Northwestern railway ran a special I train for this occasion. Visiting Former Home. i Mrs. G. H. Hanchett left this week for an extended visit in Connecticut, her former home. Prof. Hanchet : will reman at Brenau for the Sum mer School. • A Sweet Singer. A large number of friends heard Miss Ruth Smith in a song recital at the Auditorium Wednesday even ing. She sings with feeling., and every word can be heard. For a young singer her voice is remarka ble —not only clear, but rich .and sweet. Brother Kendall Caught Them. We clip the following from the Hartwell Sun: “On Sunday Dr. T. R. Kendall of Gainesville preached the commence ment sermon, which was a gem of eloquence and beauty from begin ning to eml. He is a forceful minis i ter and held the audience in rapt attention throughout the service.” Dr. Kendall received a cheek for .sls as further evidence of apprecia tion after returning home. Will Open Grocery. Bud Smith will next week open an up-to-date grocery store in the building formerly occupied by the People’s Bargain Store, on the pub lic square. Messrs. Smith <fc Parks dissolved partnership last week, the latter taking over the entire stock, and also purchasing the stock of Mr. B. A. Rogers. Mr. Smith is known by every man and woman in Hall county, and that he will do a good business goes without the saying.

( BY STICKEM. ) “When will Bartow Cantrell be re-sentenced?” This seems to be the uppermost question in the Cantrell case today— the case that has as many “angles” as the Frank case. Solicitor McMillan was in town Saturday ami said that the necessa ry documents had been filed with Judge Jones and that nothing re mained to be done except for the judge ,to order Bart before him for final sentence. The idea in Jim’s reprieves has been that the two brothers might be executed together; and if they do hang, it should certainly be done at one time. Justice demands it. The Judge can wait until the reg ular term of court to resentence Bartow if he chooses, and in that case Jim might be granted a further respite, and on the other hand he might be hung in advance of Bartow. We have never heard of an ac cessory being hung before the prin cipal, and we have always thought that justice demanded tiiat if any party in a case got any consideration it was the accessory rather than the principal. The majority of public sentiment is for commutation for both the boys, while there are some who want them hung, giving their reason “that the boys might get out in five or if put in for life.” “That would be a terrible calam ity. Just look at other murderers of Hall county who have been sen tenced for life, and got out in a short time.” That makes a strong argument against the Cantrell’s for a man who never thinks. Some haven’t any thing to think with. Now, who on earth thinks that those boys have any friends that would circulate a petition asking for a commutation of sentence should executive clemency be extended them? Had not the Eagle taken up the fight for the boys on the grounds of their ignorance, there would never have been a petition -circulated for them, except the one their old fath er, who is now broken in health and nigh unto death from consumption, circulated for them some months ago. To those who believe the Cantrell boys would be pardoned in a few years we will say: These boys have neither money nor political pull, as, has been the case with other murderers of Hall county who have escaped the gal lows. Politics and money have saved many necks in Georgia, and because these unfortunates have neither money nor political prestige we must make an example of them. That is the spirit. It can not be because the Hawkins murder was anymore cold-blooded than some other mur ders have been, for it was not. Bart and Jim Cantrell have no money, very few friends, ami noth ing in common in politics. “Damn them, we will break their necks!” That is a very poor spirit in a civ ilized country that is teaching be nighted heathen how to get to Glory. A very poor spirit, indeed. « —— Bennett's Big Clip. Mr. A. J. Bennett from up Mur rayville way tells us tiiat he sheared two sheep this week and got ten pounds of wool off each.
