S. h Korie, now on the superannuated list, but who in his active days preached in many churches cff Georgia and held charges from the conference in a dozen towns and cities. In 1898 he was the pastor of the Hast Atlanta church. The deci sion, however has an important bearing up>» the recognition of: alimony rights, against, w hich | there was recent agitation i throughout the state. A Fulton ; county judge condemned it. in the j charge to the jury, saying the day lias come when women are almost willing to forsake their vows and live alone in idleness if they cun j gouge their husbands or divorced husbands for alimony. In short, the supreme court bolds in this decision that Mrs. F A. Horie, wife of Key. J. T. Hone, in not entitled to perma nent alimony, for which she sued seven years after she parted from , him. They have never been di- i vorced. The supreme court hold* that the evidence m the cuse was enough to authorize*.the' jury of the lower holding that Mrs. Rone lett the minister withoutsucfliieiit cause ami remained away without his consent. The case is an important one. tried before Judge Muses \\ right ot lnllapoosa circuit. The ver dict, of the lower court was ugainst granting Mrs. Rone alimony in any amount.

With eight motors generating 1.000 horse-power, he will uiakt the trip in three days, he says. H, plans to have nine passengers w ith him, although his airship would easily carry ten times as many. Jxpa did not bring his airship with him: he merely came to se lect a landing place and will re turn shortly. He declares that air ships will shortly take the place of all trans-Atlantic steamers as passenger carriers, although he thinks that some of the big liners may be kept on duty for the pur posit of transporting freight. ' LOWNDES COUNTY LAND BRINGS HIGH PRICES. Yaldnlta, bn., —One of the nost successful land sales ever | pulled off in Georgia, and one of he moat iinportaut, as indicative if the rapid development and en irrnous increase in reul estate val iri-s in the wiregrass section, was ilm auction sale <.f business and residence lots at Berlin, the new town in Colquitt county, on the ine of the Valdosta, Moultrie and Western railroad, which was for nuliy opened today. Between 1,500 and 1,800 people from dif ferent sections of south Georgia . ind northern Florida attended i the sale, and many of them pur :based lots, the prices being a re- j j .elation even to those well ac quainted with land values. Two: hundred and fifty lots, the entire! number which were offered, or: which had been surveyed and plat ted, were sold as fast as the auc tioneer could call them off, the iggregnte sales amounting to about. SBO,OOO. The business lots were of a uniform size of 25x90 ; feet, and brought from $5555 to I SBSO a lot. At the former figure i ibis was equivalent to nearly an acre. In this connec ion it may be stated that Mr. Bride, who formerly owned the tract of 190 acres on which the new town is to be built, offered the land for sale four years ago at. $55 per acre. The new town is 27 miles from Valdosta and I‘s miles from Moultrie. LONGEST APPENDIX TAKEN FROM WOMAN. New York, —The Recent contest for the honor of having the long- 1 *st vermiform appendix proves to I hove been so much wasted time. Hie reul record ih held in New York city, and was set several months ago. From an authoritative source the announcement came today that on May B, 1909, Dr. Hurold Meeker, of this city, removed from ! a woman patient an appendix j measuring 9 inches, which he now has in his possession. This appears to set aside the championship claims of Edwin Ross, ot Sharon, Pa., 7 inches: Howard Gould, of Winthrop, Mass., 0. inches, and George Goss, the former Yale football star, 0 inches. The averugv appendix is from 2 to 51 inches long. A FAMILY OF GIANTS.

The “la 1 y-liftinent,” as the : Chicago force of 2.000 men is al ready calling Miss Adams, will ! wear a five-pointed star, have the j power of arrest, and be entitled to a pension at the end of her ser vice like any other police lieute nant of the Chicago force.

Cutbbert Powell of Kansas City, ( one of the best informed men in the cattle business in the country, says on the profits of the packers: “The packers make a net profit :of approximately f 7 40 a head on cattle killed, 20 cents a head m hogs and 50 cents a head <>n sheep and calves. “And this profit is turned ovet , every two or four weeks—l 2to 24 times a year. “The large profits made by tin packers do not come from the sub of the meat alone. It is the by product* and the offal that are the money getters. These, in con nection with the private car line industry and control of stock yards, have made the packing in dustry in the matter of profits second only to the greatest mono ply in the world—The Standard Oil Co. “The hides have a value of from $5.50 to $9 each. The yield of j fat in each carcass will approxi . mate neurlv SO. The other offal. ! every ounce of which is converted j ! into money by the packers, m i eludes the blood, switches, neats | foot oil, hoofs, skulls, jaws j (knuckles, shins, glue, bladder, • liver, cheek meat, weasands or | lips, tongue, meat, sxveeetbreads, | tripe, taiils, brains, tongue and 'casings, all of which are in de mand at prices higher than those paid five years ago. “In the killing of hogs, as with cattle, the profit, to the packer comes largely from the offal and i trimmings, and the cured pro-; I ducts. To such a science has hog i killing been reduced that every-: 1 thing but the squeal is turned in | to money.”—Ex. LIVE STOCK SALES AMOUNT TO LARGE SUM. Cordele—B. H. Palmer of this city T reports that 1.55(H) head of j mules have been sold tojthis date; in Crisp county and vicinity at an approximate cost to the planters of SBOO,OOO. The demand for this large number of mules is the re- j suit of new farms being opened up j throughout the county and the ef fort on the part of those already operating farms to intensify the ! yields of land under cultivation. The sale of line buggy horses -in j Cordele lias suffered a marked de crease and is attributed to the use ! of the automobiles for the purpos es formerly served by the horse! and buggy. The farmers are pi pelining more and more to the I j use of the automobiles for | purposes formerly served by the! | horse and buggy. The farmers are | inclining more and more to the j use of automobiles in the country and but few of the priminent I planters are without autos. The increased use of the machines is | doubtless stimulated bv the fact that the public roads in this sec tion have been built up to the point that automobiles can be op erated profitably and safely. IN GOOD HEALTH AFTER YEARS OF COMA. Detroit, M ich. —After ten years of unbroken melancholia, Mrs Al exander I'annenholz, aged 50, has awakened in perfect health. Her case puzzles physicians and ac quaintances. Ten years ago Mrs. Tinmen hoiz was active in the social life of the city. Suddenly a pall fell over! i her mind and she lost interest in ! | everything and experts’ said her cuse was hopeless. At times she did not even recognize members of her household. Two weeks ago she entered the; kitchen where her daughter was 1 preparing a meal. With no signs •of strangeness she took up the task tof preparing dinner as she had done years ago, before her illness. Her miud today is recovered.
