Parnell vs the Central Georgia Power Cos., the first case tried in this county against this company, which re suited in a verdict for Parnell, and the company’s motion for a new trial being overruled, carried the case to the Court of Appeals, and after a lengthv argument by counsel on both sides, has been settled by the company for some reason. This no doubt will be taken as an admission that the company foreknew the decision of the higher courts and rather than have a decision against them at this time settled same and with drew the case from the consider ation from the courts. This will be received very glad ly by both real and prospective litigants, as some people have thought the company too great to be subject to the courts, but the company by settling this case practically admits the liability of the company for damages in case where the eae is properly made out (Advertisement) There are 703 bighorns or mountain sheep in the national fobests of Nevada.

B,—The row between leading Atlanta business men and the Men and Religion Bulletins is gradually resolving itself into an expression of public disapproval of the extremes to which Chief of Police Beavers has carried various phases of the vice war, and the possibility that the police commission may se lect anew chief of police. The first definite step in this direction is the resolution intro duced by Councilman Jesse Lee, with the endorsement of business men and the mayor, rebuking certain policies of Chief Beavers and abolishing the “vicesquad,” returning the plain clothes men to regular uniformed . uty in the ranks. “I realize this is a bold step to take,” says Councilman Lee, “but I believe it is for the good of the city. I believe that the people will approve more of ade quate protection from thugs, footpads, burglars, etc., than of a large ‘vice squad'. I think the time is ripe for change, and I believe council and the police commission will uphold my views.” Th? situation existing today in Atlanta is not altogether under stood by people outside Atlanta. The agitation now on foot is NOT a movement for a wide open town. Some of Chief Bea vers’ sincerest enemies are men prominent in church and civic welfare. The trouble is, as they see it, that the vice crusade has made conditions worse than they were before in Atlanta, simply scattering vice instead of re stricting it to a limited district.
