farm work takes
PRECEDENCE NOW
Judge Whaley Believes in the Greatest Good
To the Greatest Number
“With the idea of doing the
greatest good to the greatest num
ber I have determined to hold only
one days session of the city court,”
said Judge W. H. Whaley, “and
that to try only such cases of a
criminal nature where the defen
dauts are iu jail.
“The fanners are so far behind
with their work, and so many of
them are interested one way and
another in the court, that to keep
them here several days would be
be a serious hardship to them, and
I ha'’e consulted with the attor¬
neys and put the matter before
them and made arrangements for
only one days session.
•'Were the farmers to spend
several days here in attending
court and about the time it was
completed there should be another
rain, the interference would cost
the county many thousands of
dollars, hence I determined upon
this step.
“For instance, one case, that of
the colored woman who is suing
the county for the death of her
child on Hurricane creek, has
thirty-five witness -s alone, and to
stop that many people from the
farm in even one case would be of
a serious nature.”
It is needless to say that Judge
Whaley’s decision in this matter
is one that meets with the appeby
al of the largest number of people j
and who is greatly interested appreciated by those j
are in farm work
just now.

COUNCIL TO MAKE A NEW DEAL
WITH STREET CAR COMPANY FOR
NEW FRANCHISE TO BE GRANTED IT
At the meeting of the council
Tuesday night official cognizance
was taken of the tact that the Ox¬
ford & Covingtou Street Railroad
company is operating its cars on
certain streets of the city without
a franchise.
The company's charter and Its
franchise expired last year.
The charter was renewed but
the franchise was not, and since
thatjUime the company has been
operating minus a charter.
Tuesday night the council was
confronted with the necessity of
making substantial improvements
on the Railroad street bridge, and
it was asked what proportion oi
the expense the street car com¬
pany would bear. It then devel¬
oped that the company had no
franchise and that heretofore it had
been entirely exempt from taxa¬

WOMANS CLUB BUYS HOME
I OR I HL PUBLIC LIBRARY
The meeting of the W oman’s
Club Tuesday afternoon in point
ofbeautiful philanthropy important
measures passed and in
attendence marked ,i,e m o , t
important and enthusiastic meet
ing in the club’s history.
The business part of the session
was presided over witk
istic ease and dignity by the pres
ident, Mrs. 0, A.Sockwoll. Much
of the afternoon was gived over to
the transaction of business. The
committee which had been named
to select and purchase a site for
the proposed library building was
ready with its report which was to
the effect that ,t had selected and !
purchased from Mr. C A. Har
well, the old Enterprise building
on College street.
This report was received with
a great deal of interest by the
members present. While t h e
committee had not been unani¬
mous in the choice of the building
yet it was the will of the majority.
The report evoked an interesting
diseesssion among the ladies pres¬
ent which finally resulted in a mo¬
tion, which was earned, making
the selection the unanimous choice
of the club. This suggestion came
from Mt-sdames James F. Rogers,
C. A. oockwell und Mrs. W. C.
Clark in graceful speeches and its
adoption demonstrated the sweet

ters about the appearance this
evening of the Emory Orchestra

This concert to be given by the
joung men who include the Or-
tion and had been given the free
use of the bridge.
The council discussed the mat¬
ter and decided to ask for a con¬
ference with the officers of the
street railway company at a spec¬
ial meeting to be held soon. The
council will likely offer a short
time franchise, minus tax exemp¬
tion, to require the company to
bear half the expense of the bridge
repair and maintainance, to place
all of its tracks on the side of the
street and to put chert between its
rails, even with the street level,
to the city limits.
These matters will be deter¬
mined up when the special meet¬
ing is held.
In the meantime the material
has been ordered for the bridge
and it will be practically rebuilt
at, once

desired.
It. was decided to purchase a
road grading machine, it being
8tipnlated that the machlne mu . st

were authorized to purchase six

The exercises of the Livingston
High School held at the taberna¬
cle at Oak Hill last Friday were a
pronounced success.
The actual class room work, in¬
terspersed with music, recitations
and declamations, was given just
as from day to day in the regular
rontine of the school room.
The demonstration work was
made all the more interesting by
the U9e of the blackboard trans¬
ferred from the school, Even a
casual observation of the day’s
work was enough to convince any
one present of the thoroughness
ot the work, and the up to date
methods used in the school.
The corps of teachers, consist¬
ing of Prof. J. O. Martin, Miss
Josie Webb, Miss Stella Pruitt
and Miss Annie Cowan, deserve
great credit for the splendid show¬
ing made. No teachers in the
county are held in higher esteem
and appreciaiion.
In the afternoon Mrs Walter B.
Hill, of Athens, delivered an in¬
spiring address onSchool improve¬
ment Work, and expressed her
: * F a s highly pleased with wb. t
| s ho termed the ideal conditioi rs
which she found at Oak Hill. Y, ~
pecial mention was mad-- 1 of the
work done this term on the school
I grounds at Livingston.
j Col. L. F. Livingston made an
i inturerpiig talk on the X*upomace
of Moral Training and Religious
Influence. He also stressed |the
importance of thinking power as
an educational product.
During the afternoon County
School Commissioner A. H. Fos
ter made a strong talk, calling at¬
tention to the significance of such
educational gatherings,
The day’s work was in many
respects unique aud a notable one
in what it signifies for the future.
