The installation of this new generator will place the power plant in a position to take care of Tifton’s needs for several years to come, although the use of elec tric power has increased very rapidly during recent years.

I want to put the world on notice that we going to break up thid business if put ting the men convicted thereof in the pen itentiary will break it up." Because of the* kindness of his honor in notifying jurors that he did not want them to leave home on Sunday in order reach his Court by 10 a. m. Monday the delegation from Tift arrived at uoon in ampla time, as only one case was tried during the morning. rdako Tolnchko \yis granted naturalization papers and took the name Martin Goldsmith. He passed a rigid examination, for Judge Evans said would naturalize uo foreigners in hia court who cannot read and write the nglish language, or who believe Bolshevist principles. I»r. Hugo Robin- on who has lived in this country since hildhood, uud who thought his father naturalized before the Doctor be came of age. was granted papers making him a full-fledged American citizen. Richard Bowden, a Baker county negro, was convicted of moonshining, al though he claimed he was only making Hoap. He is suffering from Bright's dls- plica Nous and it is thought caunot live long. For that reaaon, was let off with one month and $100 fine. The first case taken up after the recess was that against Dr. J. M. Spence, i»f Camilla, charged with violating the Harrison anti-narcotic law. The Gov ernment charged that the Doctor sole rphine prescriptions for morphiuc to haditucs of the drug in violation of law. Tlie defendant cluitned that he only pre scribed morphine to relieve pain and in cientious practice of hia profession, and that instead of aiding people to ac quire the habit, he had effected cures of those who have been addicted to the use of the drug for many years. The Doctor had had none of the drug, but had only given prescriptions therefor. Many prescriptions were introduced io evidence some of them calling for much as three drachms, or near 175 grains of the drug. It was in evidence that of the two worst addicts, one was suffering from cancer and another from Bright’s disease. Some of the most damaging evidence against the Doctor was given by a Mrs. Hatcher, who claimed to have been cured of the morphine habit at an institute in Alabama after the Doctor went into military aervice. Contrary to custom prevailing in the state courts of Georgia, in Federal Court if a defendant goes on the witness stand to make a statement in kin own behalf, be must make It under oath, and ia then subject to cross-elimination. Dr. Spence Spence was put through a gruelling teat by Assistant District Attorney Walsh a D d was on the stand more tbau an hour He was saved from answering questions which had been repeated over and over again by the objection of bis Attorney. Judge Cox. It was admitted by the principal witness for the Govern ment. Dr. W. J.

Atlanta, Ga., Juue 25.—-Organization the Georgia II«»use aud Senate was per- '•ted this morning ax per nd.'mn-e sche dule and without u mishap iu the elec tion of the principal offices. Representative John N. Holder of Juekson county, was reelected Speaker of (lie House without opposition. He scr an the Speuker of 1917-18 <e and previously had served four s as Speaker of other house*. He is of the ablest and most satisfactory Speakers the House ever had, always fair, always patient, always helpful to the members. E. B. Moore, u veteran in the servict of the House, was reelected clerk, a posi tion he has held for the last three years, having sueceeded Colonel John T. Hoi- feuillet when the latter became a mem her of the Railroad Commission. Ilepre- entative John W. Bale was elected Speak er Pro-Tem of the House without opium- tion. In the Senate, Sam L. Olive was re elected President without any difficulty according to the general expectation, and likewise, Major Devcreaux F. McClatchty waa re-elected Secretary of the Senate. Senator Howard Ennis, of Milledgeville. waa elected President Pro-Tern of the Senate. The standing Committee of the House and Senate quite probably will be anuoun end Thursday morning, which will be ona of the earliest announcements of the committee* on record. Being practical ly certain of their election as Speaker and President, respectively, Messrs. Holder and Olive went ahead and worked on their committee appointments in ad vance of the opening of the Legislature, and hence were practically ready to an nounce them as soou aa the two houses organized. Generally afieaking, there ia manifest a disposition on the part of the members of this Legislature to devote themselves to important matters and not permit trivial things to divert their attention. Certainly It ia time for such a disposi tion, for fio other Legislature since the days of reconstruction had placed before it such a splendid opimrtunity for enact ing measures of far-reaching and his toric moment. Among the big subjects before this Legislature are the creation of a State Highway Department, the making of changes in the tax laws of the state, resting a Department of Hanks and Bank Examinations, increased powers for the Railntad Commission, establishing a budget system for making appropriations, educational legislation of great con sequence. health legislation, exempting college endowment* from taxation, amend ing the priaon laws, providing state In stitutional care for the feeble-minded, and others too muneroua to mention In detail. Action probably will also be taken on the League of Nations, in the shape of resolutions endorsing the course of President WUaon.
