THE EVENING CALL.
Vol. X No. 239
SPALDING SUPERIOR COURT
Only Ten Jurcns Had Been Secured
When Court Adjourned-
This in mine at 8 o’clock the fpe
<i ii term of Spalding auperior court
convened, for the purpose of trying
the prisoners m>w cor flut’d tojiil, on
the charge of mobbing, as well as those
also charged wi'h assault with intent
to murder, in connection with the
same offense.
llis Honor, Judge E J Reagan, at
once called for the panel of jurors as
soon as it was decided that case No
668 was called. This charges C V.
Barnett and Ni d Fallins with mob
bi ng on two counts, and Uo with I
assault with intent to murder.
Solicitor General Bloodworth, sur
rounded by Attorneys Marcus W.,
Beck, Lloyd Cleveland and R T. Dan
iel for the prosecution, read the indict"
meat. The defense, as Represented by
Attorneys T. E. Patterson, W. T. Dick
ene, J. J. Flyut, J. C. Smith and H A.
Peebles, were in conjugation with
their client. When it was agreed that
the case against Barnett be tiied first,
Attorney Patterson at once insisted
that the state declare upon which
charge he was to be tried, and filed a
demurrer as to going into trial- if such
a declaration was not made. He fur
ther entered a plea that the indictment
didn’t state that they were “acting
without authority of law,” but stated
‘without due process ” This was dis
cussed by Attorney Beck, and the
judge failed to sustain the demurrer
or pfea.
Attorney Patterson then held that a
solicitor pro-tern had been appointed
to conduct the prosecution before the
grand jury, when the solicitor was iu
court, and failing on this, be stated
that he would make it a point that an
officer of the court was allowed in the
grand jury room while a witness was
present, and that he didn’t think the
bill was properly returned. This was
argued at length, and the judge ovet
ruled that plea
The jury list was then taken up and
after excuses were rendered, and ab
sentees reported, it was found there
was a panel of -41 in court, and more
were ordered drawn from the jury box
and subpoenaed, though in a short
time the panel increased to 45, and a
waiver being signed, it was agri ed to
begin drawing the jurors at 11:50
o’clock.
It was here that Attorney i’atteisou
insisted that every juror should be re
quired to affirm, in addition to the us
ual question, that he was not related
to any officer or stockholder in the
Griffin Manufacturing Company, the
Kincaid Mills, or the mayor and coun
cil of the city of Griffin. The judge
allowed this, and Attorney Cleveland
u>bed that they should also be requir
ed to answer if they wcie related to
those or trial, or any other regulators.
Attorney Patterson was on his feet
iua second and demanded that the
trial bs declared v. id and a new jury
l>..‘ drawn on account of thia utter
ance, but the dispute was soon settled
and the work selecting the jury com
menced.
W. T. Scott was the first juror, but
he was excused on account of relation
ship, by marriage, to the vice presi
dent of the Kincaid Mills. J. 11.
Westmoreland, tho second juror, was
accepted, as was also G. W. Bales, the
third. The next juror who was taken
by both sides was Cornelius Boles,
number eleven, and John R. Leach
made number four, John F. Hill was
number fiv*. J B Pit «. J ( . Wet
tm reluna and \V B Miller were, six,
ssveu and eight, respectively, James
ft Coats was number nine and W. T
Hutson was ten, hie number on the
panel being forl y ne.
fiie pam I then being exhausted,
Court adjourned just before twelve

I that only thru- of tin jnri i- were in

he excused no juror that was not dis

be impossible to‘get the jury this af

Shot Gun Religion-
Congressman Fleming of Georgia
has contributed a noble article to the
Conservative Review on the expansion
policy of our government.
. Mr, Fleming deals ibis diff to min
isters of the gospel who are preaching
and praying and pleading for the poll
cy of imperialism :
“The attitude of our imperialistic
preachers and newspapers is one of the
most surpriaing phenomena of the war.
Some of these representatives of the
lowly Ni zarine evince a boastful spirit
of world grasping political ambition,
and a cillons indifference to the blood
letting going on iu the Philippines
that would better typify Pagan Rune
than Christian America. These good
men, no doubt, have persuaded them
selves gradually into the belief that
they are affected only by a th cere de
sire to promote the mission work of
the gospel But in diagnosing their
cases, one can scarcely fail to discover,
as a subtle irritant to their mistaken
fervor, a latent desire (of which they
are, of course, unconeci ms), to strike
a blow at another church which at
least acknowledges the same God and
the same Savior. Nothing can beget
a higher elevation of soul than a broad
and charitable acceptance of the re
ligion of Christ But nothing is more
destructive to wise political action
than religious fanatieii-m and sectarian
contention.”

“One of my children was very delicate

A Dog's Death Snvex n Ctiurcb.
For eight years old St. Peter's I s . E
church in Great Valley has been closed,
but now, as the result of tho death of a
dog some years ago, it la to reopen In the
fan. St. Peter's church was founded way
back in the last century, and for a century
or more was a prosperous and popular
place of worship. Then tho congregation
began to dwindle away, and finally only
about half a dozen remained. The main
support of the church was Mrs. Catharine
Shoe, whose ancestor, Maxwell tSheo, was
one of tho church's founders.
About 11 years ago she died, and her
will disclosed that she had left $1,500 in
trust, the income to be used for the sup
port ot her dog Reno, and the principal at
his death to revert to the church. Reno
survived his mistress three years. Since
his death Churchwarden Sullivan has
kept the $1,500 out at interest and witli a
further capital of SI,OOO has gathered a
small sum, each year using it to repair
the church. As a consequence it is now
announced that early in tho fall Bishop
Whittaker will appoint a rector for the
church and it will be reopened.—Philadel
