The purchase recently by the Coun
ty Commissioners of a bunch of mules
bids fair to be appealed to the courts
for adjustment, as the Commissioners
through Commissioner Bolton, who
made the purchase, still Insist that
the "goods" really bought for the
county have not been delivered.
L’pon the other hand Mr. Thomas
Battle, of Moultrie, from whom the
mules were bought, Is equally confi
dent that he has delivered the stock
that was bought of him.
Upon this point the difference be
tween .Mr. Battle and Mr. Bolton is
more than a yard wide.
In the meantime the payment of
check given for the seven mules,
I1.D75, Is held up, pending some ad
justment of the difference either out
of the court or before that tribunal.
Mr. Battle came up from Moultrie yes
terday to look after his Interests
here.
The seven mules are being enter
tained by the county, but the commis
sioners do not want them.

for a lot of mules the county needed.

reply was received from Mr. Battle
at Moultrie, and Commissioner Bol
ton went down to investigate.
He selected, he says, a certain
bunch of seven mules, three matched
pairs and an odd mule.
The purchaso price—$1,575—was
paid by bank draft, but as soon as
the mules arrived here payment was
stopped ns Commissioner Bolton In
sisted a mistake had been made I
the wrong bunch of mules sent here.
Not one of the seven sent, Mr. Bol
ton states, was of the number he bad
selected at Moultrie.
The mules were at once weighed
here and none of them weighed 1,100
lbs, three weighing about 930 each.
Instead. The commissioners rejected
the whole lot. Mr. Battle, It is said,

Heorgia seems to be gradually
working up to the record that It en
joyed in days before prohibition went
Into effect so far as arrests for drunk-
ness and disorderly conduct go.
In all of the cities, those where the
law Is not sup|K>scd to be rigidly en
forced and In those as well where the
officials are more vigilant In endeavor
to compel obedience to Its mandates,
the results are found to he the same.
Probably without an exception there
Is not an incorporate city of any size
In the state where the arrests for the
first quarter of 1909 have not Jumped
considerably over those for the same
period or 1908.
For the first three months after
prohibition went Into effect there was
a decided diminution in the number of
arrests for disorderly conduct and
drunkness. It Is commonly accepted
by )police the world over that while
many cases of disorderly conduct do
not arise from the use of Intoxicants
a very large number or them do, and
that any great Increase In such cases
may be fairly laid at the door of In
toxicating beverages. Men with one
or two drinks In them are frequently
quarrelsome but not drunk, more In
cllned to be resentful or vicious,
annoying to others and provocative
of disturbances of the peace.
Americus seems to be no exception
to this rule that Is noticed in the oth
er Georgia cities. Its arrests slump

of the home than the wives of city
folks, said Mias Martha Van Renssel

of the Farmers’ Wives and Reading
Course.
She said that women from the

study of scientific home manage

takes in bis business and her desire
to be a helpmate to him. This the

understanding that the Increase to
