The second week of Polk Superior Court Is in session, and the criminal docket Is holding the boards. Estes James, colored, Is now on trial for hilling Clio Johnson, another negro, at the Central shops last year. Herman Casey, a white man, was acquitted yesterday of assult and at tempt to murder on Wes Hutchings, a negro, at Fish. Charley Maffett was convicted of shooting at Mark Johnson, both ne groes, at a row near Aragon.

If the case is reached this week, Jake Martin will be tried on a murder charge for killing Geo. Cooper on July 4th In Cedartown. The case against Ed.Walker for kill ing Policeman Hunt will be called next Monday for trial. Light Lockett, who killed Giles Wat son, both negroes, will also be tried next week for murder. The cases being disposed of are all felonies, and all of next week will doubtless be consumed on the Jail cases. The Grand Jury adjourned Saturday and will re-convcne next Monday for a few days. Sheriff Dempsey has five bailiffs assisting this week:—W. M. Barrett, Will Tims, Tom Deaton and B. II. Leonard. A CARD. Editors Standard: — I am sure you are always ready to do full justice to everybody, and that in your efforts to give the public the news of the country you try to bo correct. However, having to rely fre quently on heresay, it may sometimes occur that a mistake may be made. 11 the report of the unfortunate affair in which Officer Hunt lost his life that appeared in The Standard of last wee’-, such a mistake was made as might he calculated to do Charley \Valker and Tebe Youpg great injustice, as well as the man is to be tried for his life, Ed. Walker. Charley Walker and Tebe Young lmd no part in the affair. The bottle that was lightly thrown did not strike Mr.Hunt or anyone else. It was not thrown nt any one. There were two shots fired at Ed. Walker, and no one either fired at him or anyone else. Nobody in the crowd had a pistol but Mr. Hunt and Mr. Albert Wright4)oth of whohi drew their pistols at. the same time. Tebe Young was badly shot in the hand as he ran out of the front door. Charley Walker was shot as he was trying to escape. Ed Walker was shot as he grabbed Hunt's pistol,which was pointed at his stom ach and twisted the muzzle so as to make it miss its aim. This occurence i deeply regretted by the friends of both sides, who are among the best people of this section. Ed. Walker expects to prove beyond any doubt the above facts, together with other facts which will clecarly vindicate his conduct and establish his innocence, .and asks the public to wit i' hold judgment until they are put in possession of the real truth of the matter.

The PiMoaa fltrln** Jack** 6 and Dick Tarpln, At the Romo tavern, a noted gaming hoo«e Mt and lug in Marylebone gardens early lit the eighteenth century, felief- ApIiI. duke of Buckingham, used to toast Ills companions at tlielr farewell dinner when the season ended In the ominous words.

On each knee he wore the bunch of eight ribbonp which hud gained him his sobriquet of ‘Six teen Strings Jack.’ ” There were lively doings under the Influence of this sprightly gentleman, nnd on the occa sion referred to he was pitched out of a window for offending honest com pany. Only n few months later he met the reward for his misdeeds on the gallows at Tyburn for ventnring to rob the Princess Amelia's chaplain. I>lck Turpin was another "gentleman of the road" who amused himself In the intervals of "business" by fre quenting pleasure gardens. He was once moved to kiss a fair lady In pub lic nt Murylebono, assuring her. when she protested, that she might ever after boast of the favor she had re ceived. Whether Turpin nnd gentle men of similar occupation came to pleasure gardens solely for their diver sion may reasonably be doubted when we remember bow* frequent robberies were In the paths nnd field ways lend ing to these sylvan retreats. Watch men were set "to guard those who go over the fields late at night." yet even so visitors were often attacked nnd robbed, sometimes In the gardens themselves and sometimes on the road to or from them. In early days at Marylebobe It was deemed necessary to provide the com pany with u guard of soldiers to con duct them home at nights, a curious winding up to n Jovial evening. Pick pockets were of course plentiful at all tho gardens despite every precaution, and oue night at Cuper'a la 1743 a thief caught In the act of taking a lady's purse was rescued from the hands of the police by a band of his comrades ou his way through St George's fields and enabled to escape justice for that time.—Temple Bar.

Micuh Jurrett was a shrewd horse trader to the day of his death. lie wus slightly deaf and used his deaf ness In his business to no small degree. One day he sold an old horse to a neighboring farmer, who thought be hnd found u great bargain. He changed his mind, however, when, after driving his new purchase a few miles, the beast emitted a series of explosions strongly resembling the exhaust of a locomotive. Straightway he drove to "Gnmpy," who was sharpening a knife In his dooryard, his son Abner turning the grindstone. The disgruntled purchaser began a long tirade, which was per fectly audible to tho old mun, who, however, simulated great deafuesa nnd finally remurked, "HeyV” "You're a sklti!" howled his neigh bor. "Iley?" "I sny you’re o skin. This boss ’as got the heaves.” "Hey?" "He’s got the heaves. Heaves— heaves—heaves!" The old man looked at him calmly. Then, Indicating his son, he said gen tly: "Never hove me. Hove Abner once."—Boston Herald. For Bridge fund . For Jury fund... For Pauper fund For Road fund ...

J. L. BRANCH, Cbm. Richard Mansfield,the foremost actor on the American stage, passed away 1 r G.t. a. New London, Conn. An Elaborately Prepared Crime. This story of an elaborately prepar ed crime was told by Sir Robert An derson of Scotland Yard, Loudon. A criminal tuurked a millionaire as bis quarry and rented a bedroom near the railway statiou from which the rich man took the train for town. Well dressed and well groomed, he took his seat in the same compartment, attract ing uotice only by his apparent desire to remain unnoticed while he dealt with the papers he carried lu a stylish handbag. One moruiug after a few such Journeys ho gave veut to his an noyance at haviug forgotten his keys. A stranger sitting In the opposite cor ner politely offered him his bunch In the hope that he would find on It a key to open the bag. But none of them would fit I he lock. At the sug gestion of the stranger, who, of course, was an accomplice, the millionaire then produced his bunch of keys, and a few seconds sufficed to enable the thief to take a wax Impression of the key of the rich man’s safe. A few weeks later the safe was rifled, and before the crime was discovered the tiller was across the chnnuel with his booty. Conliln’t Fool Him Twice. ' The heavy clouds were massing In the west, the lightning was flashing, and the thunder was rumbling omi nously. The fond mother gathered her young hopeful to her and tried logically to calm his fears. "There’s no danger, dear. God sends the thunderstorm to clear the air, wa ter the flowers and make things cool. You mustu't lie frightened. It won’t harm you. and everything will be bet ter when it’s over.’’ The little chap listened Intently, nnd when his mother finished lie looked at her quizzically. "No, no, mamma," he murmured, "you talk eraetly the way you did last week when you took me to the den tist to have that tooth pulled."—Har per’s Weekly.

Seaboard and Central Now (barge Two and a Half Cents a Mile IiiNide the State. Circular No. 334, issued June 7th by the old Georgia Railroad Commis sion on application of the F&rmers’Un- lon of Georgia, took effect Monday, and the roads are allowed to sell tlclV eta between all points in this state on the schedule of rates according to the classification fixed by the Commission. The lowest rate per mile is two cents, and is charged on all roads in class "A,”—Atlanta & West Point and Western & Atlantic. Two and one-fourth cents on class "B”—Atlantic Coast Line, Charleston and Western Carolina and the Geor gia. Two and one-half cents on class "C" —Central of Georgia Railway, Sea board Air Line, Georgia Southern & Florida, and the Southern. All other lines charge three and four cents per mile, according to their length and equipment. These charges affect the people of Polk county very materially, as will be seen by comparison of the figures un der the old and the new rates. For instance, a ticket over the Seaboard from Cedartown to Atlanta formerly cost $1.79; now it is $1.50. A round trip formerly cost $3 10; now the reg ular fare both ways is $3.00. But no round trip tickets will now be sold, except the regular week-end rates, which is $2.65 to Atlanta from Hits place. Under the new rates, tickets from Cedartown over the Seaboard will be sold as follows:—Cartersville 87c; Dal las 72c; Taylorsville 53c; Aragon 41c; Rockmart 32c; Fish 19c; Grady 14c; Akes 11c; E^om Hill 23c. Over the Central from Cedartown the following charges are made:—Rome 48c; Llndale 38c; Silver Creek 35c; Lake Creek 12c; Youngs 14c. The week-end rates are still of force as heretofore, but there is no reduction to any points outside of the state. The fare is just the same as formerly to Chattanooga or Birmingham. The rate remains unchanged over all Toads on trips involving an int^r state jour ney. Several roads have entered suit in the Federal court to annuli the order of the State Commission fixing these rates, and the matter will be thrashed out thoroughly in the legal way. But the new rates will be observed pend ing the contests in the courts. This big reduction was made by the old Railroad Commission, and the order was ratified and confirmed by new Commission, three of the five members having been selected by Gov ernor Hoke Smith. The people are watching the outcome of this reduc tion in passenger rates, especially the members of the Farmers’ Union, at whose instance the old Commission acted in cutting,, down the fares in Georgia. Commissioner of Agriculture Thos. G. Hudson says that the cotton crop has been damaged from 30 to 40 per cdut by the recent hot, dry spell, and expresses the belief that cotton should easily bring 15 cents this year. The Farmers’ Union of Texas has fixed that figure as the minimum price, and we hope our Georgia farmers will get | at leact that much for it. Governor ! Smith estimates the Georgia crop at j 2,000,0 0 bale-, but Mr. Hudson puts it at 1,500,000. CITY FINANCIAL REPORT. Cedartown, Ga., July 5tb. 1905.

It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your body; it is nerve force that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your veins; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to digest food,-your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact, nerve force is the power that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, cannot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and y r our system run down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles’ Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy' without strong nerves. "For eighteen years Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills hnve been my close companions. Early In mar ried life, while raising children, niy nerves became all worn-out—could net sleep; )yid no appetite; indigestion very bad, nnd had such awful - zz > spells. Then I began using Dr. Miles Nervine, and rt once I began t > im prove, and soon found myself in perfect health." MRS. S. Ti. YOUNG. 321 Pittsburg St., New Castle. Pa.
