“THE MYSTERY o’F THE BOULE CABINET,” The Herald’s new serial story will start in tomorrow’s issue. Full of
Thrills. In fact a literary miner would say of “The Boule Cabinet” that “it pans out a big percentage of thrills.” The hand
of fate deals strange cards in a game in which the poison of the Medici and the seventeenth century cabinet of Mme. de
Montespan play a tragic part in twentieth century New York. Watch for the Opening Chapters in next Tuesday's Herald.

PRESIDENT OPPOSED
TO FREE TOLL
IN BALTIMORE PLATEORM
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., February 9.—
President Wilson let it be known to
day that he has always regarded as
unwise the insertion in the Baltimore
platform of a plank favoring the ex
emption of American coastwise ships
from the payment of Panama canal
tolls. He feels that any platform de
claration on such a subject of inter
national policy is unwise. He feels
also that there has been a change
of circumstances in international as
pect as the tolls question which right
ly should change the attitude of the
American government on the subject.
He reiterated today his intention to
use his influence to secure the repeal
of i. free tolls provision.

school, as it is controlled by the town
council. On the other hand, the elec
tion of Earl Griffeth to the council
will assure a majority that will sup
port the school for the coming year.”
.Here is the correct report of the
election as follows:
For mayor, W. A. Nunnally, 31.
Ford mayor, W. A. Nunnally, 31.
For councilman, J. W. Cash, 34.
For councilman, Earl Griffeth, 32.
For Councilman, J. D. Brewer, 31.
For councilman, J. W. Freeman, 30.
I am sorry that those two gentle
men did not think of the beautiful
scripture of Prov. 12:22 before asking
your paper to publish such a report.
Mr. Nunnally is a citizen of Bogart
and Mr. Sisk lives in the city of Ath
ens, and they both knew that L. C.
Crow was the ex-mayor and not Earl
Griffith, as stated* and that J. W.
Cash led the ticket for councilmen.
Now as to the school I will say that
I, W. B. Akin, was a member of the
town coluncil two years ago, and
worked to bring about a bond issue
which was carried and turned over to
the just retired mayor and council
who built the house which is a credit
to the town and community.
Now, as to me not being in har
mony with the school, I will frankly
say no; because the school is not a
graded school and is controlled by the
county board of education and three
trustees, who arc elected by the
rons of the school and not by the may
or and council, as those gentlemen
stated.
I am sorry that we have no local tax
system to support the school and fur-
thermore Mr. Nunnally knows that I
have worked hard to build up the edu
cational cause of this town and com
munity and that I stand ready to sup
port a local tax system to run the
school, and furthermore, I am sorry
that Mr. Nunnally failed to learn,
while he was a member of the council,
the condition of the school system. I
guess it was because he had no chil
dren to educate.

“TRADE DAY” IN ATHENS
’ The Chamber of Commerce and ihe business jncn.in Athens «n<
are going to cooperate in trying to establish what is to be known
as “Trade Days.” The plan is to bring excursions from thirty
and forty miles on every road entering Athens and to refund the
fare of those who come on these days and spend a certain amount
in the stores of the merchants.
Quite a number of merchants have expressed themselves as
being favorably impressed with the plan and expect it to boom
Athens. It will draw the crowds and get the people to form the
habit of doing business in Athens.

As another indication of the growth
of Athens comes the $2.00 hat store.
Levy's Tailoring and Toggery Shop
opened Saturday at!74 Clayton street,
and for the first time gave to Athens
an exclusive $2.00 hat store. This
store however, is not alone featuring
hats at the popular price but is also
offering neckwear, shirts, and other
haberdashery at feature prices.
Mr. M. M. Levy, the manager and
owner of the new business, is well
known here in Athens where he has
hundreds of friends and relatives. For
the past eight years he has traveled
for big New York clothing houses
making Athens his headquarters, so
that he is thoroughly acquainted both
with the business he has entered and
the conditions here. Mr. Levy is very
optimistic as to the business outlook
here and speaks enthusiastically of the
future of Athens. A very attractive
feature of the new store will be their
policy of laundering all colars bought
from them at a cent and a half each.
This method has been employed in the
larger cities of the country and has
proven very beneficial to all parties
concerned.
The store will also do a tailoring
business selling exclusively patterns
at from $15.00 to $40.00. Taking it
all in all says Mr. Levy we are going
to give to Athens a modern up-to-date
toggery shop.

Americus, Ga., February 9.—A se
rious shooting occurred near DeSoto,
just over the Lee and Sumter county
line, Saturday night, as a result of
which Marion Bass, a deputy consta
ble, was instantly killed, Constable
Tucker Cassell was seriously injured
and another deputy, Lou Laramore,
wa3 slightly wounded. The shooting
was a result of an attempt to arrest
two negroes at their home.
It appears that two white men
charged the negroes with having fired
upon them Saturday night as they
drove past a negro settlement. One
of these white men was Abner Greene,
whose eyes were shot out in a fight
with a negro, William Webster, last
July. Greene telephoned Constable
Tucker Cassell of the alleged assault
just committed, and requested the ar
rest of the negroes supposed to have
fired upon him and companion.
When Cassell and his deputies, Lou
Laramore and Marion Bass, reached
the negro settlement they were fired
upon by negroes said to have been
concealed beneath the house. Deputy
Bass was shot through the abdomen
with a Winchester bullet. Constable
Cassell and Deputy Laramore sus
tained bullet wounds as well.
Edward Tyson, colored, was shot
dead by the posse. Cooper Bivins, an
other negro, is being chased with dogs
He is well armed, and difficulty may
be experienced in capturfag him. The
scene of the trouble is 15 miles from
Americus.
