AUGUSTA PROTECTED. The flood protection for Augusta and the Coosa river provisions are in some respects the most interesting Geo: gia items in the measure.

They fought -the application filed by C. H. Griffin, of Marietta. Cole's attorney, for a pardon. Cole's case brings to public attention E .'.the blind tiger conditions that are said to have prevailed in the neighborhood of McCaysville, Fannin county, which is lo cated right at the Tennessee line, and where liquor traffic has been profitable since the prohibition law went into ef fect. Cole was given the limit of the law—l 2 months or sl.<W fine. He went to work and is now serving his sentence jn the Floyd county gang. . Cole's attorney pleads that his client's 'health can't withstand the sentence. The petition was resisted by' the prosecutors and by the mayor and city officers of McCaysville. The clerk of the court tied a certificate that Cole had been con ' bected with 14 liquor cases before he was tried on thia one. Mansfield. Ga., is to have a new bank soon, as soon as the application for, (garter can be returned and the charter .issued. L. O. Benton, of Monticello, will |>e one of the incorporators. The appli cation was returned Friday, by the sec- IjgXary of state, for compliance with the law's requirement that the places of res u. Idence of the incorporators shall be ,•». sfiowti in it. The fee of SSO was retained, ■ so there's a probability that the applies- | tior. comes back pretty soon. The capi- j jal stock of the new bank will be $*25,000. i t A .Chairman Hutchens, of the state prison board, said Friday morning that the board has no petition pending in the case of W. H. Mitchell, the Thoma, county man convicted tn a sensational asault and battery case some time ago. and recently ordered out to the chain gang by the prison commission, when report was made that he was living in ease in the county jail. ‘The inipreasion nad gon* abroad that a petition tn Mitchell's behalf was on the docket. This grew out of the pub- P jjlcation a couple of days ago of th* | Story that Mitchell's lawyers had left with the commission a chart or map L. drawn by Mitchell to demonstrate his . jlgnoccr.ee by proving that he could not 1 ISgallv be convicted with the evidence recorded in his case. “No petition m Mitchell's behalf is I Bending.' said Judge Hutchens, “and -the commission do*s not consider that ■ there is any reason for it to re-open, the case until a formal application fori clemency is tiled.
