The city court dozed the work of the
week yesterday and the docket of the
criminal branch la now In such condi
tion that the remaining canes unheard
will go over to the November term.
The juries were dismissed last night at
the close of the session. Seven charges
were cleared from the docket yesterday
and as a result the coffers of this court
are Increased over 31,000. This amount
came from the pockets of those charged
with gambling.
The court will be engaged this morn
ing In the hearing of some cases which
have been arranged to be disposed of
without a Jury. Demurrers will also be
heard. More than fifty cases have been
cleared from the docket of the criminal
branch this week and those that will
be heard without a Jury will leave the
docket with almost a clean sheet. Many
cases have been settled without going
to the Jury for verdicts and altogether
the work of this week In the city court
has been almost equal to that which
was done during the month of August
last year when the vagrancy law was
fresh from the hands of the legislators.
Clinton .Porter, whose bond waa de
clared forfeited two days ago on a
charge of gambling, was Ir. court yes
terday and acknowledged guilt. There
waa nothing further to be dne in his
case but to pass sentence. Judgo
Hodges did this, giving Porter a term of
•lx months on the chalngang with the
privilege of settling with a fine of 1350.
The money was p.iUl over to the court
and Porter walked out with his liberty.
Judge W. M. Clark of the city court
of Forsyth was on the bench In the
charges of gambling against Bam Ed
mondson and C. C. Wallace.* These
cases came from the recorder’s court
only o few days ago. When the court
waa prepared for a hearing and tho
cases called, both men were ready to
plead guilty. Each of them did so and
the acting Judge promptly rtxed the
sentences. A fine of $350 was paid over
to the court by each of them and they
too. left the court. Judge Hodgea was
disqualified In these two charges and
Judge Clark was asked to serve when
It was known that the hearing would be
given.
Eugene CrnJff appeared on the charge
of having used profane and obscene
language In the presence of females.
This case took up the time of the court
for the afternoon and afforded oppor
tunity for some vigorous work on the
part of the attorneys. There was evl
dence both ways. Nearly a dozen
men and men were on the witness stand
and some of them said the aroused m
was not guilty and some said he wn
Now and then some one would handle
the state’s principal witness and alto
gether there was an mixture of state
ments which no ns of the attorneys
could make clear for tho Jury. Tho de
cision waa against the nrcused man and
when the jury came In *nmo time after
the case had gone to them they suld
they believed the atate’s side of the af
fair. Craig wna given a sentence of six
months on the chalngang with tho op
portunity of paying for the trouble by
turning over to the court a fine of
351.15.
Will Clayton, a negro, was charged
Ith having stolen some shoes from a
railroad car. The shoes were In court
and although they were nice white
summer shoes they did not make un
Impression In fkvor oi the negro. The
Jury believed the charge* and they
brought In a verdict of guilty In a very
short time after the case went to them.
The sentence wee eight months or
fine of $10ft. Clayton will dig soil on the
roads of Bibb for this clash with the
law rijjd It* authority.
George Jones and Claud Clements
were In court on the charge with Clay
ton. but the state did not substantiate
its claims and the Jury said they w
not guilty. The consequences of the
adventure In the railroad car will be
borne by Clayton alone.
The charges heve been disposed of
In swift order during the entire week
end again yesterday this was evident,
but some of the defendants fought
more stubbornly than has been done In
the proceedings of any other day.
Next Monday the civil docket of the
city court will be taken up. This dock
et la also a large one and cannot be
handled aa rapidly aa the criminal
docket. There Is not lees than two
weeks’ work ahead for the court In tala

NEW YORK, Sept 9.—Bradatreets
tomorrow will say:
Trade, crop and Industrial develop
ments have been generally favorable
this week. Distribution on fall and
winter trade account has enlarged at
most mnrkets, tho corn crop haa pro
gressed another week toward final ma
turity, which, however, this yeo-r Is
later than usual, and several industries
hitherto greatly depressed or operat
ing on short time have resumed run*
nlng full.
The Industrial situation Is sllqhtlv
less strained than It was, and the beef
strike Is now ended. In Iron and steel,
past and prospective- price reductions
have encouraged Inquiry, consumption
has Anally overtaken production, and
stocks of crude material are. smaller.
With the beginning of the crop move
ment, which Is reasonably heavy for
this period, has come improved codec
tlons nnd better railway earnings tv-
turns. August points to 8 per c*nL
Increase over a year ngo. Tho stub
born strength of prices is, perhaps,
the most notable feature In the.entlro
situation.
Brndstreet's general Index number
shows a very small percentage of In
crease on September 1 over August I,
with provisions and groceries, fruits,
hides, leather, oils and breadstuffs
showing .more strength. The general
level of prices at present marks an In
crease of 7.7 per cent, over June, 1901,
a decrease of 3.8 per cent, from Feb
ruary. 1900, but a gain of S.7 per ccnL
over the low water mark of July, 1S96.

High Praise
for Acme Beers
The United States Health Bulletin, the American authority
on matters of health, sanitation and hygiene, in its issue for
May, 1904, contains the following editorial comment:—
“One of the several breweries of whose product we have
spoken before, as reaching a high degree of perfection from
its care in preparation, its freedom from adulteration together
with the purity of the water used in its manufacture and the
sanitary and hygienic methods employed in the handling of
it, during both production and delivery, is the Acme Brewing
Company, of Macon, Ga.
*‘We are pleased to be able to recommend the product of
this brewery as one of the few that we know to be of as
high and honest a grade as it is possible to produce, and we
make this editorial recommendation without any request
from and without wen the knowledge of the manufacturers
of this beer, that it is to be made at the time of its printing,
gladly letting them derive what benefit they may .rom the
publicity we give them, in the interests of purity in the mak
ing of food and drink.”
