The Supreme Court of Georgia has just handed down a decision defining what cruelty means with reference to the marital rela- :i jn. The Supreme Court says: •‘Cruel treatment, within the meaning of civil code section 2946, which provides that such treatment shall be ground for divorce, is the wilful infliction of pain, bodily or mental, upon the complaining party such as reasonably justifies an ap prehension of damage to life, limb or health.” So, It is made clear, a husband doesn’t have to whip hi3 wife or stick pins in her In order „o be cruel within the meaning of the law. If he sneers at her biscuits, or neglects her for the charms of o*her women, or stays down town at night while she sits at home and weeps, it is cruelty just the same as If he knock ed her in 'he head with the stove poker.

(By Associated Press ) New York, Jan. 20.—The Cotton Market opened easy, at a decline of 13 to 17 points and sold 21 to 23 net lower right after the call, with all positions making new low r j cords for the movement under renewed liquidation nnd bear pressure, weak Liverpool cables, reports of Southern offering of spots and more feeling iu the English markets. Southern selling here seemed to account for the continued aggressiveness of the Learish sentiment. Prices rallied later 10 to 12 points from the low est. Heavy Southern selling encoun tered the first hour rally and the market soon developed renewed weakness, with prices selling off to a net loss of 23 to 28 points on old crop positions, with May touching 1 i.69, or $6.55 a bale under the high records of last month. Shore profit taking and trade support checked the decline at this level, and the {market was much less active, with j the noon prices 3 or 4 points up from the lowest. Cotton closed steady. IjOCAL SPOT COTTON, 11 He. THE DAY IN WALL STREET. (By Associated Presu.) New York, Wall Street, Jan. 20.— Weak Copper shares featured the opening of the Stock Market today. Amalgamated and Utah lost a point each. The leading stocks we*e frac tionally lower, and the active stocks ranged withhi one-eighth of their opening figures, but some specialties fluctuated widely. American tobac co gained seven points, and Inter national Paper lost two points. On the rumor that the Supreme Court would render a d^sion fav orable to the railroads in the Min nesota rate cases, the shorts scram bled hastily to cover and prices bounded up rapidly, the recoveries running a half to two points. When verification failed to prove the rum or true, urgent buying stopped, and the market fell back abruptly. When it was announced that the Minnesota rate decision was not to be rendered today, the bears attack ed the list. Steel, Union Pacific, and Amalgamated sold one to two points under Saturday’s e’ese. Stocks closed steady. INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION REVERSED. (By Associated Press.)

CAPITALIST PEEPING TQM Hun Interested in Skirt Factor)' Has Been Enjoined From Interfer ing With the Trade. Atlanta, Jan. 18.—Denounced as a peeping-Tom by the very firm in which he is a prominent stock-hold er, J. H. Evans, a prominent capi talist of this city, has been restrain ed by a-n injunction of the Superior Court from ogling and spying on la dies who go to the Southern Skirt Company to be fitted with garments. The suit, one of the most sensa tional and unique ever filed in a lo cal court, charges that Evans re cently purchased a block of stock, and that since that time he has been hanging around the store, making eyes at the lady customers, using his distracting conversational powers on the six eales-ladles, making himself a gay, if not young Lothario, and by his demeanor interfering with the trade and business of the concern. The officers of the company, before bringing the suit in court, tried to persuade their new stockholder to keep out of the store, but utterly failed, and not wishing to restort to bodily violence they had recourse to •n injunction instead. | PERSONALS Mr. L.
