MRS. S. L. HAYES.
seems to be in its incipiency, betok
ening several years, at least, of good
business, on a normal basis. The
fact that industrial and labor trou
bles and controversies and railroad
strikes were accepted by the public
generally in r more or less matter-
of-fact way, and without dampening
the morale or general forward-look-
iny spirit of the people, is pointed to
as evidence of a more solid founda
tion for the present business move
ment than Georgia and the South
have experienced in n$any years. With
the settlement of the railroad strike
the future outlook for better times
has been even more accentuated.
One of the factors in the situation
pointed out by Forrest Adair, presi
dent of the Adair Realty and Trust
Company of Atlanta and conducting
a. national business, as of significan
ce is the large amount of available
money as compared with the small
demand for capital just at the mom
ent, and therefore easy money rates.
Accumulation of cnpital is itself not
an indication of expansion in the
business world, Mr. Adair shows, for
it is when business and industry
marks time that capital accumulates.
However, such a condition in the
money market presages such a per
iod: of erpanfiion, Adair says, for
with restored confidence business nnd
industry quickly begin to resume
their forward march when capital
loses some of its timidity and is avail
able quantity at reasonable or low
rates.
Mr. Adair has put the query, “What
have the people learned from the re
cent businesa depression?” He
shows that when stocks and bonds
were declining daily, many investors
in need of ready monej were forced
to sell their holdings at a great loss.
Shrewd investors, he lcclares, are
now turning to investments which are
free from fluctuation and manipula
tion, such as protected bonds. Since
the day his company was established
57 yetrs ago, no investor has ever
lost a dollar through a first mort
gage investment which is Recommend
ed, Mr. Adair says.
“Money, or capital, like the rest
of us, is getting over its war-time
spree and must go back to. work at
lower kages and must do real work,
at that, if it earns anything,” Mr.
Adair said. “This condition is high
ly, favorable to increase^ business
and industrial erpansion and prog-
school that was located near the pres
ent site of Speight and Canty’s plan
tation,) Attapulgus, Curry’s (near
Climax) and the Hawthorne settle
ment (now in Grady county.) We
are told that Judge, Solicitor aAd Re
porter traveled from court house to
court house and camped out while on
the trip. There isa legend to
the effect that a party to a case want
ed a postponement of his ease and
did not have a legal reason for ask
ing for the postponement nnd his
friends helped him tear down the log
court hour.e and float the logs down
the river the night before the court
was to convene.
From the old Minute Book, I learn
ed that the Superior Court of Decatur
county was organized on January the
10th, 1825 by Judge Thad G. Holt,
and that the jurors were drawn for
the first regular term which convened
in June'the same year. The grand
jurors drawn to serve at this term
were as follows: Duncan Ray, Jer-
remiah Beil, Able Chester, William
Donalson, Sr., Isaac Shores, William
Taylor, William Chester, Jerremiah
Slade, Abner Bishop, Robert B.
Doublas, John Jones, Edmund Her
ring, McClendon Gainey, John White,
King Farmer, Joshua Purcher, John
Darsey, John Donalson, Sr., Philip
Pittman, Elias McEIvin, William
Powell and William Whigham.
Go up and hear Mr. Wimberley call
the roll of a present day jury and
see horn strangely familiar many of
these names *are. Descendents of at
least three fourths of them are still
living in the county and serving on
the juries.
In 1828 the grand jury commend
ed that the ordinary .levy .a tax to
buy a book in which the minutes of
the Court could be recorded. This
recommendation was carried out and
the minutes of the. three previous
years were recorded in the Book.
1 will merely mention the other
relic that I saw recently. These were
some executive orders sent our from
the Governor’s office during the Re
construction days. One was the ap
pointment of Election Managers at
Bainbridge and Attapulgus. Among
these managers were three negroes.
The other was an order to the Ord
inary to provide two cords of wood to
be used by the soldiers stationed at
Ihe poles

Huntington, Pa., Sept. 17.—When
I Major Herbert Bryson, Rainbow Di-
I vision veteran, goes to trial here to
morrow on a charge of first degree
murder, the novel defense of shell
shock will be set up by his counsel,
it is indicated.
Behind the formal charge of mur-
ln those ' ^ er I° < l8 e( I against him is an unusual
' combination of clandestine love nnd
tragedy.
On his return from war his nerves
were shattered and he was supposed
to be in the country recuperating.
Reassuring but infrequent letters are
said to have been aent to his family
that he was on the road to health.
But hidden away in the mountains
twenty miles from the nearest rail-
roAd station was a little cottage in
which Bryson and Helen Irene Haines,
formerly of Washington, D. C., lived
unmolested, unknown and unobserv
ed- They were supposed to be man
and wife rind the few scattering
neighbors in that isolated region ask
ed po curious questions. They tqok
the couple at face value.
For a year or so • this life went
on.
Something, which has not yet been
revealed, apparently came into this
mountain pbode to disturb the love of
Bryson and the Haines woman. Oir
(he evening of April the 8th, last
Bryson telephoned to Myron McClain,
a neighbor, declaring that his wife
had shot herself. McClain, an un
dertaker, rushed the woman to a Hun
tington hospital in a hearse. Bryson
rode beside her. At the hospital he
told the attendants his wife hud shot
herself. Shortly, afterwards, as the
woman lay dying, Bhe sent for the dis
trict attorney and in the presence of
witnesses told how she and Bryson
had quarrelled, how he had pursued
her to the second floor of their home,
how he had broken down the door of
the room in which she had taken re
fuge and then fired a revolver point
blank at her.
She died a few hours after making
her ante mortem statement. The next
day Bruce Haiqes, of Washington, re
vealed tq the authorities that the
said “Mrs. Bryson” wns his wife and
that she had met Bryson while work
ing in a government bureau and had
deserted him for the war veteran.
