Court of the United States to stay the execution. The element of time has become all important. If the court were to order the prisoners to be brought before him in connection with the hearing on the applicaton for their release on habeas corpus writ, it is not believed it could be done be fore Wednesday. An unfavorable ruling on the question would result in an application to the high court at Washington for a stay of exe cution pending the hearing of an appeal from the decision of the District Court, and there would be only a day and a half left in which to obtain it. The Supreme Court some weeks ago declined to review the conviction of the men on the ground that it was without pnrs diction. A philosopher is a man who knows there is no use in being a cynic. The hardest thing about being a professional politician is keeping ex cited. RECORD ESTABLISHED« AT POULTRY SALE EATONTON, May 7.—What is believed to be a high record for the sale of chickens in Putman county was established here when J A. Stubbs and B. G. Strange sold 100 Black Giant baby chickens for SIOO. The chicks were sold to a Macon chicken fancier. The chicks were ten days old at the time of the slae, and this pree is said to be the highest ever paid locally. There are a large number of people in the county who have gone into the poultry business n earnest They have seen what splendid re sults can be obtained from raising pure bred poultry and they have discarded mere chickens for pure bred chickens. cNodine c jacePo\}'dcY sJ/ie£u.re o Os course you’ve tried many fare powders, but you’ve never tried any so satisfactory as this one— Nadine—blended specially for Southern women.
