Some comment has been made both In this country and abroad on the ban placed on fermented wines by Secretary of State Bryan on the occasion of a banquet given Monday night In honor of Ambassador Bryce, to which seven other am bassadors and their wives were In vited. The London papers are quoted as mildly chiding Mr. Bry an, utilizing the opportunity to In dulge in some alleged wit at the ex pense of this country. When the banishment of ferment ed wine from the festal board was brought to the attention of the Washington newspaper men, a num ber of versions of the banquet were published, the Inaccuracies in some of which Induced Mr. Bryan to make a statement which appeared In yesterday morning’s papers. Mr. Bryan states that this was the first official dinner he had given since taking his present position, and con sequently was the first opportunity he had to let hi? attitude towards the use of wine be publicly demon strated. As the guests were all of foreign nationality, Mr. Bryan took occas ion to explain to them his position; and that of Mrs. Bryan, In opposl tlon to. the serving of wine, both having been teetotalers all tlielr lives. He said, further, that before accepting the portfolio, he bad ex plained his position to President Wilson, lest there might be any em barrassment to the administration, the matter being left entirely to the discretion of the secretary. His guests had applauded the explana tion of the absence of wines, and the evening had been spent most enjoyably. "We can consider the Incident closed and the custom es tablished as far as we are concern ed,” says Secretary Bryan In Cos ing his statement of the affair. Of course the wine agents and the whiskey men generally will roun'dly condemn Secretary Bryan for his course. Such example In high plac es certainly does their business at, good. It Is also true that the use of wines Is more widespread In some foreign countries than In 'he United States, and that public sen timent Is not aroused as in this country to the evils of the drink traffic from start to finish, and un der the circumstances It required some courage for Mr. Bryan to take the stand he did, though he cojld not have done otherwise. The flowing bowl .at banquets and dinners has been responsible for many disgraceful scenes, which are carefully kept from the public whenever possible. Many hosts who would, If left to tbelr own choice, much prefer to banish the wine cup, have been Intimidate by fear of criticism Into doing that which their consciences disapproved. With such a precedent as that set by Secre tary Bryan, emancipation from a harmful custom should be rendered more easy.—Nashville Tennesseau. A. Mitchell Palmer, one of the leaders for Wilson at the Baltimore Convention, admitted on the floor of the House that the Underwood tariff bill would be the means of making that gentleman President of the United States. James Hamilton Lewi*—ever hear of the gentleman? quarter (7!4) million to ten mll- Mont of dollurs, and in turn shruld decrease taxes from Two to Three Dollars per thousana. We haxe examined all the justice of the peace' dockets that have been submitted to us. In most cases we find them correctly kept. Some, however, are indifferently kept, and still othe-s poorly kept, in the matter of falling to itemize ost and show disposition of cases etc We urge that all parties use !he printed form book, which can be had by making an order on the County Commissioners. Some oth ers of the justices of peace failed to submit their dockem for examina tion. We earnestly urge that all justice court dockets be submitted to the next Grand Jury for Inspec tion. We requeet the ordinary to make requisition on the state authorities to supply Justice of the Pence, D. S. Chapman, of the Barwlck District with books of the state that will supply him with books as those he had in charge were recently de stroyed by fire. We find nearly all the public roads In good order and being rap idly further Improved. Tne mules, tools, vehicles, and machinery are In good order. The Convict Camps are clean and well located and only one sick convict. We find eome roads near Metcalfe and the North end of the County Line road needing repairs, and wc recommend that they be repaired as early as convenient. We find the turn pike on the Bos ton and Monttcello Road, on Aucll- la Creek in bad condition, and rec ommend repairs; also the old Troupvllle Road needs repairs. We are pleased to see all wooden bridges being replaced with steel, and concrete, and trust our commis sioners will continue same ai rapid ly as possible. . We note that our Chairman of the Board has Instituted a system of weekly reports from each employ ee of the county, which will show exactly what Is being done and cost of same, and we think It will bring good results. We find the poor house building and grounds In excellent condition except the door steps at the home for the white people, which needs some slight repairs. We found no wtyte patients at the home and only one colored patient. The grounds and building of the county stockade present a general appearance of neglect and the building needs some repairs. W« found a number of road Implements that seemed . to have been abandoned, and we rec ommend that If they are of no fur ther use that they be sold. We find the Jail In good cndltlon and cleanly kept, and recommend that a galvanized Iron door be plac ed over the entrance to the base ment and hinged. That water tight shutters be placed over the win dows in basement and that terra cotta pipe bo laid from drained spouts on the building to convey t ie water from the roof away from the yard. The County Court House, as a whole we find not very cleanly kept. We recommend that the floor In the ordlsary’a office be levelled, and that the walls of the entire building be calclmlned, and that the corrugated spots on the metal celling of the new vault of the or dinary be scraped, aad metal paint ed, and that the over-head plaster ing In the office of superintendent of public Instruction be removed and replaced with new plastering. That the over-head celling In court room be painted as well as all cor nice and window wood on the ex terior below the dome. We found a good space on the ground floor used to store rubbla'i, and we recommend that this room he fitted up for the county commis sioners office. The grounds are not ns well kept as they should be. We find a large number of chairs need ing repairs, and we recommend that hat-hooks be placed In each Jury box for the use of jurors. We make elect to fill vacancies on the Board of Education of the county: J. D. Gardner, Singletary. B. W. Stone, White and G. F. Hicks. We endorse the action of the Roard of Education and the super intendent of public schools of the county In borrowing money to pay the teachers monthly. The tev'h- ers of the public schools of ths State of Georgia are the only em ployees of the state that are not paid promptly. This unjust discri mination has caused embarrassment to the faithful teachers for about a quarter of a century. Therefore, we request our representatives In the legislature to do all they zaa to perfect means by which the state will be enabled to pay the teachers promptly We thank tne Honorable W. E. Thomas, Judge, and the Honorable J. A. Wilkes, Solicitor, for their many courtesies, and kindnesses shown us during our session. Respectfully submitted, B. C. REESE,-Foreman, R. L. REDFEARN, J. R.

Still Deepens Although Four Men Are Arrested Pending Further Investigation of Case. Atlanta, April 29.—The detec tives have reached the point 'his morning in the Mary Phagan mur der case where they are confined that the crime ws, committed >y a white man. Thev believe, further more, that In J. M. Gantt, who was arrested yeeterday at Marietta, they have ths guilty Individual, though they are by no means ready yet to assert it positively. The thing that looks worst for Gantt at this moment, Is that he has not been able to give a satisfac tory account of what ho was doing Sunday night. He declared at first that he was at home In bflH in his boarding house at 3S4 East Linden' street, when the crime occurred. But the landlady of the boarding house swears that Gantt not only was nnt there Sunday night, but that he hasn’t been in his room for weekB. The police are looking for the ne gro Janitor, with the idea that he knows some things he hasn’t told, but they have abandoned the Idea that he Is actually guilty of the crime. Arthur Mulllnax, the handsome lad, who was identified by E. 3. 3en tell, aB being with Mary Phagan Sunday evening, and who was im mediately arrested, Is apparently the victim of a terrible mistake. Nothing has been discovered to con nect him with the crime, and his re lease Is momentarily expected. The case, In addition to its ele ments of horror, Is one of the most pitiful Atlanta has ever known. Mary Phagan was a child In short dresses, a playful, Innocent little girl. Washington, April 29.—Guatema la’s minister here has directed the attention of the State Department to Great Britain's renewed pressure for satisfaction for the claims of British subjects. The final outcome of these claims Is expected to develop an Indica tion of the Administration’s policy toward the Central American Ho- j publics and their foreign debts. A loan of twenty to thirty million dollars by American bankers has been under way for some time but never consummated, which was in tended to pay Guatemala’s British debts. Debts of Long Standing. London, April 29.—The British Government today denied the pub lished report that It had sent an ultimatum to Guatemala. At the Foreign Office It was said that all which had been aone so lar was the presentation of Great Britain’s ur gent demand for the payment of Guatemala's Indebtedness, the bulk of which she has been owing for the past twenty-five years. Another Arrest Made Today. Atlanta, April 29.—Leon M. Frank, Superintendent of the Na tional Pencil Company factory, where 14-year-old Mary Phagan was found dead early Sunday morning, was taken to the police station this af ternoon, for additional questioning. No charge was made agalnBt him, but Detective Chief Langford inti mated that Frank would bo detained for hie own protection. "The town seems to be thoroughly wrought up over the murder, and I think this is the wisest course," he said. Fishing Especially Good Now. The ponds and streams around this aectlon and across the Florida line are said to be in especially good condition for fishing just now, (he moon and other conditions being Just exactly right. A favorite place for Thomasvtle dovotees of the piscatorial art at preaent Is Cara’s pond, where the fish are said to be biting finer than usual. This Is a beautiful spot and cue well worth seeing at ill seasons of the year, but there are many Thotn- aavllle citizens who think that It Is alwayB at Its best the latter part of Aipril, and there are several parties there now, enjoying themselves, "far from the madding crowd," and feasting on delicious meals of the speckled beauties, fresh from tne water.
