DEFENDANT WINS
IN THE MAYS CASE
SUIT INVOLVED PROPERTY OF
THE LATE DR. R. W. MAYS.
STUBBORN LEGAL BATTLE
CONSUMED 3 DAYS
A jury in Butts superior court re
turned a verdict in favor of the de
fendant in the case of Mrs. R. W,
Mays, administratrix, against J. B.
i Mays, a suit involving probably the
j largest amount cf property ever
tried in Butts county. The case
went to the jury Wednesday after
noon and a verdict was returned
early Wednesday night.
Mrs. Mays as administratrix at
tacked the genuineness of a deed
purporting to have been made in
1911 in which practically all of Dr.
Mays’ property v.as deeded to John
Billie Mays. It was alleged that the
I deed was fraudulent and the plain
till' sought to prove that there was
a difference in the writing of part
of the deed, also a difference in the
paper used.
A considerable amount of evi-
dence was introduced by both sides.
The case resolved itself into one of
the most stubborn and hotly con
tested legal fights in the annals of
the state. No civil case ever tried
in Butts county attracted such wide
spread attention, and a large and in
terested crowd followed the pro-
j ceedings eagerly.
For the plaintiff appeared Col. W.
K. Watkins, Reagan & Reagan and
Judge Horace Holden, of Athens;
while Col. C. L. Redman, Judge H.
M. Fletcher and Coi. Greene John-
| ston, of Monticello, represented the
I defendant.
It was stated Thursday morning
that a motion for anew trial had
been made and the case will prob
ably be carried to the higher courts.

THE MERCHANT PRINCE
There was an old geezer
And he had a lot of sense;
He started in a business
On a dollar ’n eighty cents.
The dollar was for stock
And the eighty for an ad
Which brought him three dollars
In a day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods
And a little more space,
And he played that system
With a smile on his face.
The customers flocked
To his two by four,
And soon he had to hustle
For a regular store.
Up on the square
Where the people pass
He gobbled up a comer
That was all plate glass.
He fixed up all the windows
With the best he had
And he told them all about it
In a half-page ad.
He soon had ’em coming
And never, never quit.
And he viouldn’t cut down
On his ad one jit.
And he’s kept things humming
In the town ever since,
And every one calls him
The Merchant Prince.
Some say it’s uek.
But that’s all bunk—
He was doing business
When times were punk!
People have to purchase
And the geezer was wise—
He knew the way to get ’em
Was to advertise!

POINTED PARAGRAPHS
The man who stands on dignity
never gets very far.
When you fuss about the weather,
it’s u sign you're getting old.
Poor relations are. almost as easy
to accumulate as empty tomato cans.
Your neighbors have a lot of
nerve to imagine that they are as
good as you are.
It’s difficult to convince a man
that he's a chump—and if you do,
what’s the use?
If you have nothing to worry
about, ask your wife; she can always
supply the deficiency.
Getting into heaven doesn't worry
a man half so much as trying to
keep out of the other places.

ARITHEMATIC FOR SENATORS
(New York World
About ten years ago Lloyd
George, then Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, made a speech in the
House of Commons in which he es
timated that the nations were then
spending at least $2,500,000,000 a
year on past and future wars and
predicted that their economic life
could not long witstand such a drain.
Three years later the Germans un
dertook to hack their wav out of an
economic situation which had be

of competitive ( armament, and the

the nations concerned is now esti

sive of 10,000,000 dead.
Nobody quite knows what the na
tions are now spending on past and
future vars—somewhere between
$8,000,000,000 and $10,000,000,-
000 a year—but there is no indica
tion that these expenditures and
their relation to the welfare of civ
ilization have any real meaning to
the United States Senate.
The annual expenditure of 2,500,-
000,000 to which Lloyd George re
ferred a decade ago meant that on
a 5 per cent basis $5,0,000,000,000
of the world's productive assets had

to be segregated and devoted to the
work of earning income for war pur
poses. The present expenditures
mean that after the destruction of
$348,000,000,000 in property and
production, from $160,000,000,000
to $200,000,000,000 of the remain
ing assets are being used to provide
income for war purposes.
How much longer does the Senate
think that the impaired and deplet
ed economic life of the world can
stand this additional strain?
The United States Senate is now
the chief obstacle to any limitation
of armament. It has taken the
world by the throat. It refused to
ratify the Treaty of Versalies and
permit this country to help stabil
ize the peace that had been won on
the field of battle. It refused to per
mit the United States to enter the
League of Nations, which is em
powered to prepare a general plan
of disarmament. It refuses to pass
the Borah resolution authorizing
the President to call a conference
of Great Britain, Japan and the
United States to effect an agree-
ment on a naval holiday. To com
plete this record of obstruction, the
Senate Committee on Naval affairs
has presented a report demanding
a navy “at least equal to that of
any other power.”
It would be interesting to know
where Congress thinks the money
comes from which these eminent
jingoes are prepared to scatter so
lavishly. Government has no mon
ey of its own. Every dollar that it
spends must first be earned in the
sweat cf somebody’s face. With
the whole world trying to pull itself
together economically after the de
bacle of war*, the Senate is deter
mined to sell the labor of all the
English-speaking peoples into indef
inite servitude in order to provide
fuhds for a useless battleship pro
gramme. This is all that the Junkers
of the Senate have to offer to a
civilization that has already been
bled white.
The conscience of the American
people people may have been dulled
by partisanship, but it is inconceiv
able that their pocketbooks are as
calloused as congress assumes.

IT PAYS TO HAVE GOOD HEALTH
Most Illnesses Are Prevented by a
Good Supply of Rich, Red Blood
Take Pept>Mangan, the
Red Blood Builder
Either you are in good health or
you are not. There’s no half vay.
You may think nothing of being a
little run down. It may not worry
you if you lcokpale. You may think
you’ll be all right tomorrow or next
day. But will you?
Certain it is when you do not feel
just right, you are not right. There
is probably something the matter
with your blocd. And while you can
get around and do your work you
are leaving yourself open to any of
the diseases that are always waiting
to take possession of run down peo
ple.
When you are pale and easily
tired, when you cannot enjoy your
meals, vhen you lose enthusiasm,
your blood needs attention.
Take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. It
is a great tonic. It will build up
your resistance to disease, and you
will soon feel stronger. The little
red corpuscles are fighters. They
battle with disease gems and win
out when there are enough of them.
Keep your system well supplied.
Then you will keep well and you will
enjoy life.
But be certain you get the genu
ine Pepto-Mangan. Ask for it by
the full name—“Gude’s Pepto-Man
gan.” Some people take it in tablet
form. It is so convenient. The
liquid and the tablets have the same
medicinal value. Look for the name
“Gutlc’s” on the package, adv.

REGULATIONS MADE FOR
WEARING ARMY CLOTHES
WAR DEPARTMENT HOLDS THAT
CLOTHES MUST BE DYED OR
CUT CHANGED AND BUTTONS
AND INSIGNIA REMOVED
Washington, D. C.—The war de
partment has announced an opinion
as to when the law is broken by
civilians v.ho wear any part of the
army uniform. It says:
“In order to prevent the wearing
by unauthorized persons of used
uniforms no longer required for
soldiers, and sold by the quai'ter
master corps, the salvage branch
has made public the following policy
of the war department concerning
what will be considered distinctive
features of the army uniform:
“The war department considers
that the color of olive drab is of
itself not a distinctive part of the
army uniform within the meaning
of section 125 of the act of June 3,
1916, but that when a garment is
cut .according to the special army
pattern, anti in addition is of the
army color, the combination makes
it a distinctive part of the uniform,
which condition can be removed by
dyeing in a different color.
“The war department dees not
consider that dyeing is the only way
to make a coat or an overcoat lose
its distinctive character. Any radi
cal alteration would have the same
effect; for example a distinct change
in the cut of the collar, the addition
of different colored cuffs or collar,
or of a cloth belt. Any of these
cnanges, provided that in addition
thereto all insignia and buttons rave
been removed, vwuld stamp the gar
ment at sight as non-military to any
one accustomed to the army uniform,
and therefore the war department
believes that it could legally be
worn.”
Civilians who may* wish to wear
army clothing by reason of its
cheapness and convenience, now
can do so safely within the law by
changing the cut or dying the cloth,
and always by removing the military
buttons and insignia.
The motto of the Salvation armv
—“A Man May Be Dov,n But He Is
Never Out”—is most applicable
nov*. You will live through it, pro
vided your courage doesn’t fail.
Georgia s deplorable financial
coadition will be passed on to the
next administration. “Passing the
buck” is quite popular these days.
It is sincerely hoped that Governor
elect Hardwick will make a serious
effort to place Georgia’s financial
affairs in better condition.
