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.

Mil lions helped annually, adv 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! —Selected. 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 come '.nipo?siblc owing to the co“: of competitive ( armament, and the gross expense of that exploit to all Fertilizer For Sale ill • SWIFT’S FERTILIZERS fliPr I wish to announce that lam agent for Swifts Fertilizers and have plenty of all the standard mixtures on hand, and will be glad to book your order.

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 IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL BE UPTOWN SaturdayNlght AT 7 O’CLOCK 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.

REDMAN Attorney at Law Office i n New Commercial Building Jackson, Georgia 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. SE P E nß us PRINTING that PLEASES PROGRESS -ARGUS JOB DEPT.
