The case of Alex Carroll, a negro, charged with the violation of the city's blind tiger ordinance, had been tried, and the evidence was so flimsy, and so much In favor dt acquittal that U looked ae though It would .he-tmfpoH- court said ‘•guilty," nearly everybody was surprised, as was Attorney Jcsso Harris, who, seeing that his man was gone, asked that the sentence be sus pended. It was then tlflu the court said that which Influenced him was that when the officer went Into Alex's house to arrest him he told the officer that there was no whisky in the house, whereas there were two half pints. Then It was that the attorney told the court that to deny that there was whisky In the house under the cir cumstances was “the nigger In him." Officer Anderson, on Saturday night, found a negro woman named Lula Moore In a partial state of intoxica tion. He asked her where she got h*r liquor and she said that she p»*.1 Al£x Carroll forty cents for a fcaif pint. Thereupon the officer gave her money and. told her to go and buy him some. She returned shortly after and said that Alex had said lio had more—had sold out. Acting on this Information the officer went to Alex’s house In Murray’s alley and found Alex In bed. On going Into the house the officer had Alex to get up and dress, and then searched the house and found two half-pint bottles of hlsky In a bureau drawer. It was of the same brand oh that found on the negro woman.

WILLINGHAM COTTON FACTOR Ship Me Your Cotton and Get the Best Returns MACON GEORGIA Mtuiifest In tho Bnsiness World and Pathway Clear For Better Times. NEW YORK, Nov. Tho Wall Street Summary today. In discusing tho business outlook, says; More favorable developments affecting the business world than thoso which have followed tho election could scarcely have boon hoped for. From all parts of the country and from every line of business conus the same story of activity and en thusiasm. in a greater or a less degree— the Incubus has been shaken off and^io pathway Is clear for a return of pros perity. Mr, Taft struck the keynote of Ms ad ministration In his Cincinnati speech, when ho declared that those business In terests within tho law need have no fear of interference from the government. While the present administration has de clared similarly from time to time. Its official acts have apparently been based on the assumption that a corporation ac cused of wrongdoing was guilty, before It had been brought to trial. Therefore, while the announced policy of the present and next administrations are Identical, a more judlclul carrying out of that policy Is expected from the incoming admlnstra- l,on ‘ 650,000 Men Go Back to Work. From a canvass made by the National Association of Manufaelurcrs, It Is esti mated that 650.000 men win And employ, went as the result of Mr. Taft’s election, between now and December 1. A* the canvass was confined to manu facturers. this estimate does Include w. who will be employed by the railroads in consequence of the tho number .of by the raUroo~. . . greater volume of freight produced, which must be distributed by the carrJera. ri '“ total number of men now Idle, who Ion mark: and tliey of themselves will form a great additional market for the prdflucts of tho manufacturers.

Alonzo Johnson, who said he worked In the Ice factory grid had to have whisky every week, got the box from the express office and di vided it on the perch of the house where all live. Of this Will Moore, the husband of tho Informing woman, got his four half pints, Johnson got his. another negro present In court got his. and Alex got his. Will Moore told how he carried his home and hid them In a basket under some comforts, where his vlfe.found them nnd drank all up but a little that was left In one of the bottles, thus explaining why the brands of the whisky found on tho woman and In Alex’s house were tho same. This was tho case, followed up by Officer Tom Jones, saying that ho would not believe the -woman on oath and of Chief Westcott and others tes tifying to the good character of Alex, whom they had known for many years. The recorder fined Alex fifty dollars, but suspended It on his good behavior. Sluggish Liver a Foo to Ambition.

BOYS’ DEBATING GLOB HAD LIVELY SESSION COLUMBUS, On.. Nov. 9.—The project of cutting tho peninsula of Florida In two hy un east un«l west ship canal connect ing the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, was the lending question today before the convention of the Gulf Coast Inland Wuterwuy* Association In seaaion hero. Senator-elect D. U. Fletcher, of Florida, tonight outlined thla plan to tho convention In a speech which he said: "We must meet waterway Improve- mints in foreign countries uy improvements "ut homo, if -wrtERS maintain aupremacy or even standing In markets abroad. , . . "Thu probluin of tho cheapest and unreal means of transportation now re quired by tho southern, western and northern growers Is solved when tho United States gulf porta are opened and the Florida ship canal on the lock system Is constructed. Would Shorten Rout*. "A ship canal across the peninsula of Florida would shoiton by about 600 miles the routo from the Atlantic ocean 4nto the Gulf .of Mexico, especially to the * ulf ports of the United States, and avoid lie dangerous navigation of the gulf stream through tho straits <>f Florida By this canal the commerce of thla north 1 em continent would b© placed more than a thousand miles nearer to the Central American rapubll* Tlio general opinion seems to be that a tidewater canal Is Impractlhle. *-• tho lock canal almost a straight across the narrowest part of the pt aula' could be selected, passing through a number of large lakes and using some portions of rivers. This canal would be a part of the contemplated Inland water circuit of the whole of the central and eastern _part* of the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains. Estimated Cost of Cinal. "It Is estimated that the canal can b* dug tor $60,000,000. It has been estima ted also that more than 30.000.0QO tons would pasa through the canal yearly, which does not Include the enormous traffic from Mexico. Nicaragua, Costa Rico or certain other countries whoso traffic would bring the tonnage, under a reasonable estimate, to a total of 60.000.000 tons annually. • A complete national system of Inter coastal canals and circuit rf>f waterways ought to be determined upon and structed as rapidly h« possible.
