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.

The court then resumed a quietude that was only relieved by one lone juror that had been summoned today coming in. He was allowed to wait until more could be gotten together eo that they could bo sworn at the same time. Judge Reagan stated that as it would be impossible to‘get the jury this af ternoon, lie would adjourn court until tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock and notified ail of the witnesses and jurors to be here promptly.

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.” For Bladder Troubles use Stuart’s Gin and Bu chu. — —■> Mr, If. A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes; “One of my children was very delicate i and we despaired of raising it.

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 phia Telegraph.
