The AugUBt Term of Polk Superior Court convened Monday morning, Judge Price Edwards presiding and Solicitor General VV. K. Fielder resenting the State, Judge Edwards delivered a strong charge to the Grand Jury, calling the r attention to the tax hooks and the laxity everywhere of the methods of returning property for taxation, paid his respects to the pistol-toter,, and referred to the crimes committed by people who go around loaded for a difficulty. The blind tigers and whiskey Joints needed special Investi gation, and the Court intimated Its readiness to do Its duty when these classes of law breakers were brought before the bar of Justice. He called attention to the poker-players and crap-shooters and all other forms of gambling, and urged Hie Jury to do Its duty along these lines and the court would undertake to co-operate with their efforts for a healthy and whole some enforcement of the law. -"’J was a clean, strong exposition of the lav%, and shad a firm, dignified ring about it that befits a gopd judge and a ftnrless official. It 1ms received ntftiiv words of commendation and approval from all sources of our good citizens. The Grand Jury organized by elec ting Mr. VV. E. Wood as foreman, Mr. Whit K. Russell as clerk, Mr. Lon Parris as bailiff. Jt is a good jury, composed of substantial citizens, and has gone to work In earnest. Clerk Dante L. Roberts and his as sistant, Deputy J. J. Simpson, are keep Ing tab on the court proceedings, un iformly courteous to all. Sheriff J. E. Dempsey and Deputy Sheriff J. F. Carmichael are strongly re-enforccd by a posse composed of Bailiffs Pete Hackney, Will Wester, Joe V. Phllpot and John McElwee. They are serving the court efficiently. Solicitor General W. K. Fielder has as his bailiff Mr. S. B. Langford, and there’s something doing around the Grand Jury's and the Solicitor’s quar ters. The official reporting is hieing done by the stenographer, Col. C. B. Weath erly, of Buchanan, who gives general satisfaction. The county Jail has nineteen pris oners, twleve of whom are charged with felonies. There are more pris oners to be tl*led for murder than auy time in the history of Polk county, an^l the record is much to our dis credit as a community. The Solici tor General is expecting a strenuous term, and is prepared to wade through an ugly criminal docket before the ad journment of court. GOOD MANAGERS SELECTED. The executive committees for the Farmers’ Union Warehouses in Cedar town and Rockmnrt have , made ex cellent selections cf warehouse man agers. In Cedartown a number of excellent gentlemen were suggested Jor the p^ace but the choice of the cOnuAittee .fell upon v.v Walter Sfhliestett. For the Rockmart warehouse Mr. Emory C. £ingsbery was selected. Both these gentlemen are good farmers and excel lent citizens,.who have the confidence and esteem of all who know them. T.hQ. Union has rented .the warehous3 of the Cedartown Cotton & Export Co, pn. the corner of We8$ avenue and Warehouse street, In Cedartown; and in Rockmart have rented a section of the building of the Rockmnrt Ware house Co. Five tenant houses of the Cedar town Cotton & Export Co, situated south of the Seaboard Air Line track and west of their big warehouses out side the oity limits.were destroyed yes terday afternoon by fire. The com pany’s fire apparatus d U all it could to save the houses, but for the timely arrival of the city fire depart ment several other buildings would have been destroyed. The loss was covered by insurance. County Commissioner T. H. Adams is doing a long-needed piece of work on Cave Spring road reaching from the city limits to the branch at Mrs. Jessie Roberts’ home. This section of road has always been bad, especially in wet weather or winter time,and the permanent- improvements now being made are commended by all who travel this public highway. Governor Smith was strongly im portuned by the prohibitionists of the state to veto the locker tax a?t of the late Legislature, but as it had been tacked on to the general ap propriation bill jthis was of course impossible. To have vetoed auy sec tion would have killed the whole bill, and stopped the machinery of the state S'Jv.r. meat. ENGINE BLEW UP. KILLING ENGINEER, FIREMAN AND RltAKKMAN. Mr. Will Hutchings, Mr. John Borders and Arthur VVelcher, Colored, Meet Horrible Heath on Central Hallway. Engine No. 1014, o le of the big ’’battleships" on the Central Railway, blew up Sunday morning about 4 o’clock Just south of Raccoon station, killing Instantly Engineer Will N. Hutchings and Brakeman Arthur Wel- cher, a negro who was r.dlng on the engine, and fatally scalding Fireman John Borders, who died Tuesday from his injuries. The train had Just left the water tank and wuh going up grade when tho terrible explosion came without, warning. The bodies cf Hutchings and Welch r were ho r.Lly mangled, while Borders was blown nearly forty yards and fearfully scalded. He got up, however, and walked to a house near by to tell of tho oxplos.on. The engine was a complete wreck, and had reversed Its position. The was torn up and all vegitation near by was killed by the awful blast from the engine. The body of Engineer Hutchings was brought to Cedartown and taken to the home of his mother, Mrs. John Hutchings,In Eastvlew, where the funeral services were conducted by 1. M. Qulllian in t.he^ presence of a large crowd of friends and rela tives. The Remains were Interred In Greenwood cemetery, the Brotherhood Locomotive Engineers having charge of the ceremonies at the grave. He was a member of that order, and his pall bearers were from Its ranks. Mr. Hutchings was about thirty yea:s old, and at one time was an employee of the Standard office. He had been railroader for some time, and was one of the best engineers on the Cen tral. About two years ago he was united In marriage to Miss Pauline Hammond of Stllesboro, and the grief- stricken young widow, with his en tire family, have the deepest sym pathy of all In his shocking death and their sad loss and bereavement. boughTbig safes.

Recoiling early days iq the express business, an officer of one of the largest oompa tiles told this story of Jay Gould: Gould and Fisk then had bold of the Erie.” ho said, "and the United States Express company had ull the express business on the road. The con tract was about to expire, and Gould anted an arrangement more profita ble to the Erie. ’The Erie’s doing nil the work and you’re making all the money,’ Gould said to the express people. You ought to do some of the work and give tits railroad a chance at the money.' "The express company officials de murred. Their. profit, they Insisted, was no more than they were eutltled to. and they refused to shade.,the con tract a, penny. Gould insisted on a de crease. but they remained obdurate and eventually let tho Erie president understand—what be very well knew— that no qther company would compete against the Uni toil States for. the Erie business. All the ooutpanles at that time were in an agreement to maintain rates. “ ‘All right,' said Gould qt the .eouclu- sion. of the interview, ‘you’ve uoiobjec- tlon, I guess, to my going into the ex press business for myself. It looks bet top. than, r a llroadkig^ "Thft express people replied, .that Gould could organise all .the <q)ui|m,plg3 he wanted to. They thought it was ail bluff, but things that came to their at tention soon weukened their fajtli in this Idea. Gould was going around among his associates tulktug up an ex press company scheme, officials of oth er roads were told that a new company would be in the field to bid fdr their business, and the papera began to talk about the new Gould express company. "The express officials, however, saw none of Gould's money going into the enterprise and stood.par. Presently it was reported that he had bought twen ty-four big express safes. Was this talk or was it business? the express men asked themselves. They set to work investigating, and they discover er! that the report was true. Gould had actually bought and paid for the safes —safes cost money In those days, too— and be was negotiating for afl the oth er equipment required. “Now. thoroughly convinced of Gould’s sincerity, the express (^Mfcupny came to terms. Gould got the bBTcon- tract from a railroad standpoint that hud boon known lip to 1li t time. 'Hie clause In the contract that the United States Express company considered most valuable to Itself was one stipu lating the abandonment of Gould’s ex press plans. "It was all a bluff on Gould’s part except buying the safes, -'for that mat ter the purchase was, of course, part of the buff, but Gould**'hud actually bought and paid for them uncondition- nl]y. Nevertheless be lost nothing on the deal, for as soon as friendly rela tions were establishe^ovlth the express otiiclnis he persuaded*theta they could use the safes In their business and sold them at a little better tlmu cost.”— Washington Post The recording angel plays neither favorites nor long shots.

D. L. ROBERTS, Clerk Superior Court Polk County. Cold cash is a wonderful complex ion beautifier. Nothing jolts the average man quite so hard as the attempts of a homly woman to flirt with him. Some women never gossip. (Some women are deaf and dumb.) Lots of men will never know it is to experience brain fag. You way say what you pleaso. 1 it pays better to say what plea other people. When a man tries to unlock his front door with a fountain pen at j 2 a. m., there’s qnother brain storm brewing. The energy a small boy expends in a ball game would cultivate an acre of potatoes if attached to the end of a hoe handle. Back to the farm! That's where you get good coffee. None cf that “fresh roasted loose by the pound" store stuff from nobody knows where, full of dust, atmosphere and soiled hands, but the real old, genuine egg and sugar coated Arbuckles’ ARIOSA Coffee, which the folks keep in the original package and grind in the kitchen. That’s Coffee! Keep Your Nerve It is nerve energy that runs the organs of your body. The storage battery is the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and from this battery nerve force is sent out through the system of nerves. To keep the body healthy you must have plenty^ of nerve force; ii you have not, the organs work imperfectly', the circulation is sluggish, digestion bad, appe tite poor, kidneys inactive, and aches, pains and misery are the penalty. You can keep the system strong with Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It assists in generating nerve energy'; it strengthens the nerves and makes the whole system strong and vigorous. "I take pleasure In recommending Dr. Miles’ Nervine to those suffering from nervous prostration, insomnia and melancholy. After several months suffering from above diseases I tried this medicine and found imme diate relief. It soothes and strength ens the nerves, chases away the gloomy and depressing thoughts and gives the sufferer renewed strength and hope. It is a superb nerve re storer.” JUDGE JACOB SEEMANX.
