court this morning, and incident
thereto Judge Broyles fired some
hot shots at tin* city criminal

The row came up over the ur
raingnient of seven near-beer
dealers, charged with violating
the law by swapping licenses about
without the trouble to get consent
of the police hom’d.
In lining I, Y Fain and T. K
Trammell .foil i-> each for Ins kind
of dealing Judge Broyles said
Fain was not a lit person to con
duct such business, and that he
had been convicted of selling
liquor.
“Rut a man may reform, your
honor,” said Attorney Smith.
“These kind don’t do any re
forming,” retorted tiie recorder.
“They are dangerous citizens,
and the police hoard should not
grant this kind of license to cun
duct a near beer saloon.”

from the attorney, and for a time
it looked almost as it there would
he personal trouble between the
two.

TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 17.—Gov
ernor Rrown has approved the ac
tion of the prison commission in
recommending a commutation to
life imprisonment for Rosalie
Hymns alias Small, Burke coun
ty negro girl, sentenced to hang
for complicity in the murder of
Mr. Jones in Waynesboro.
Henry Johnson, the negro who
actually committed the murder,
paid the full penalty of the the!
law. On the gallows he stated
that the gird did not havezany
part in the [dot or stssassination j
of Jones. Largely upon this state
ment, and upon the general sen
t iment over the state against hang
ing a woman, the commutation
was recommended and approved. |
The death sentence of J. R.
Duke, the Cedartown negro, was
also commuted to life imprison
ment., as it has been pretty well
established that he is mentally
mi balanced.

CRISP COUNTY FAIR.
Cordele, Ga., F*-b. 18. —The
Cordele Chamber of Commerce,
in connection with the Crisp
County Fair Association, are ar
ranging plans and a date for the
purpose of holdinga county fair
during November. Cordele and
Crisp County held its initial fair
during November of last year,
and the enterprise was attended
with such glowing success that it
was unanimously decided by the
oflicers and directors to make the
occasion an annual one.
It is expected that the com ing
fair will be far larger and more
important than the lust, and that
permanent buildings and grounds
will be purchased for these annual
occasions.
The entire citizenship of the
city and county is in thorough
harmony with the directors of (
the fair, and it is expected that !
the exhibits this year will he more !
numerous and as good as is possi
ble to he entered at any county
fair.
Much interest is being mani
fi-sted by the various poultry
raisers in the county afid no
doubt that this department at
the fair will ho equally as good as
those seen at the state fairs.
