BAILIFF WAS CONVICTED
r ,
Judge Roam Rules That Balllllf
Canaet Carry Ceaeealed Gaa.
Atlanta, Ga., 20.—The convicr
tion and fining of the Justic of the
Peace court bailiffs in the superior
•f Atlanta, Judge L. S. Roan pre
siding, for carrying concealed weap
ons, is of interest throughout all
Georgia because it raises the general
question as to whether officers of
that class can ever carry pistols con
cealed.
Sparks was engaged in making
a levy when a negro attacked him,
and he only used the pistol to de
fend himself. But the judge held
that the fact that he was engaged in
the discharge of his duty at the time
he had the pistol did not exempt
him from the law.
The Dangerous Fly.
Address by W. Woods Hutchinson.
A fly in a house is as dangerous
m a rattlesnake, as filthy as a louse,
as disgraceful as a bedbug. The
time will come when any modern,
tleanly home will feel itself ahsamed
and disgraced by the presence of a
ly, and when every householder
upon whose premises a. brood of
flies is detected will be fined heavily
and sent to jail. The fly is a Utpral
“eye of the Lord” because he is
every beholding evil and the good,
•specially the evil, for he loves to
lay eggs in it. You can’t hide dirt
from a fly. He iB also the most in
timate and domestic animal we
breed and keep. An. ounce of
cleanliness is worth a ton of fly pa
per and wire screens. One-half the
money wasted on fly traps and win
•low screens, one-fifth the energy
squandered in slapping and profan
ity would clean up the backyard
and wipe out the fly.

A. P. Spence Not Guilty.
The case of A. P. Spence, who
was on trial at Camilla, Ga.,charged
with killing W, G. AkricRe, at
Pelham sometime ago resulted in a
verdict of not guilty.
The case has been of the most
complicated and hard fought ever
tried at Camilla. It was tried at the
October term last year an dresulted
ina mistrial. W. G. Abridge the man
who was killed, was a well known
Pelham merchant and all of the
evidence brought out was circum
stantial.
It was said that he and Spence
were together on the night cf the
killing and that later on he was
found dead in a room over the store.
The theory was that Spence wqs his
slayer.'
Who wil be the next to go?
The tottering feet no longer roam.;
A voice we loved is still;
A place is new vacant in our name,
That time can never fill.
