Father and Sons Must Die.
For the murder of the Carter chil
ren near Valdosta, the supreme court
of the state has decided that J. G.
Rawlins arid two of his sons. Milton
and Jesse, must die on the gallows,
while another son, iAionavd, must
serve a life sentence in the peniten
tiary.
At the same time the supreme court
reversed the lower court in the case |
of Frank Turner, a negro, convicted j
° f b * ,nB a " accessor >' before the ^ct
in tin- same case, and sentenced to
life imprisonment.
In Turner's case, it is declared the
evidence is not sufficient to authorize
the verdict, and that the court erred
irl not anting him a new trial,
Under this Vision of the supreme
court the three Rawlins will be re
sentenced to the gallows, and the
fourth one to the penitentiary. Witn
an appeal to the United States su¬
preme court in prospect, and then the
prison commission and the insanity
laws ahead, it may be some time yet
before the sentences are finally ex¬
ecuted.
A1E Moore, the negro in the case,
who was sentenced to be hanged, did !
not appeaI to the supreme-court j t
is understood that Moore cannot he
hung until Frank Turner is disposed

bers of the association are said to

School Systems for New Counties.
Professor Joseph S. Stewart, state
agent of the University of Georgia, is
hack in Athens front a trip to the
night new counties recently formed in
this state. He went for the purpose
of discussing with the officials the
question of the establishment of
school systems in the new counties.
Professor Stewart found the officials
very enthusiastic about the education
al system to be established in the
new counties and is satisfied that all
will he started on the right plan. It
has been suggested that these sys
terns should provide for a central
high school at the county seats and
that as many of the counties or dis
tricts ns feel able to do so levy a ape
cial local tax for school purposes in;

New Contract Law Upheld.
In the case of Townsend vs The
State front the city court of Floyd

which makes it illegal for a person I
to contract with another to perform
certain services, and to procure monei
or supplies under such contract, when
he h..s no intention of doing what he
contracted to do. Under this huv
T wnsend was convicted of cheating
at ' swindling. The supreme court
upholds the validity of the law. and
says there is nothing in it repugnant
to the constitution of Georgia or oi
the United States. But the decision
of the lower court in this case was
reversed because the supreme court
holds he was convicted upon insuffi
clent evidence.

Throughout the conference spirited

to the constitutionality of federal con¬

a firm advocate of the construction
of state rights, which should prevent

form babbling brooks that wind their
sparkling way through flowery meads,
comes a note of gratitude lor delivery
from the coffee habit.
“When my baby boy came to me five
years ago I began to drink Postum 1
Food Coffee, having a feeling tbat it '
would be better for him and me than
the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I !
was not disappointed in it, for it en¬
abled me, a small, delicate woman, to
nurse a bouncing healthy baby 14
months.
“1 have since continued the use of
Postum, for I have grown fond of it,
and have discovered to my joy that it
has entirely relieved me of a billions
habit which used to prostrate me two
or three times a year, causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myselt.
“My brother-in-law was cured ot
chronic constipation by leaving off the
old kind of coffee and using Postum.
He has become even more fond of it
than he was of the old coffee.
“In fact, the entire family, from the
latest arrival ta 2-year-old, who always
calls for bis -potie’ first thing in the

think there is no drink so good or so
