CAPITAL HEARING
ATLANTA, Jply‘ 8.—While 100
leading Macon citizens were en route
to Atlanta this afternoon to attend
the capital removal hearing at 3
p. m . before the constitutional amend
ments committee of the house, and
Atlanta’s picked delegation was pre
paring to assemble to present their
side of the case, it developed sthat
possibly the delegations from both
cities were the victims of a huge
joke.
The intimation of the possible joke
developed the information that at
least some of the members of the
committee might not attend the meet
ing, at least the opening of it, be
cause of the press of other matters.
It then was remembered that last
week, when the date of the hearing
was set, the committee adopted a
resolution providing for an executive
session at 6 o’clock today for the
purpose of framing a report to the
house on the removal amendment.
This automatically limited the hear
ing to three hours, the period to be
divided equally between Macon and
Atlanta.
It appeared today that most of the
committee members had already made
up their minds on the proposal and
were ready to vote on the recommen
dation to the house without sitting
through three hours of uninterrupted
and decidedly partisan oratory, hence
there was a likelihood that more than
One member would T>% extremely oc
cupied elsewhere 'until near the hour
of 6 o’clock, the time set in advance
for the executive session,.
It was stated today that Mayor
Key, Robert C. Alston and Robert R.
Blackburn will speak for Atlanta at
the hearing. Macon speakers have
not been announced.
H. H. Dean 4>f Gainesville, former
candidate for the United States sen
ate, has written the committee, airing
that they allow time for speakers
"representing neither Macon nor At
lanta, but the state as a whole.’’ It is
improbable, however, that the request
will be granted.
It is impossible to forecast what
action will be taken. Certain it is,
however, that it will be a close vote
in the committee and that the result
in both branches of the house will
likewise be close aa there will be mi
nority reports in either case and the
fight will be transferred to the floor
of the house for action Thursday..
Whatever the result of the light for
the capital, bad feeling has been en
gendered, which will be cropping out
for years henceforth, even if the is
sue never gets to the people.
Grog of Grapejuice
ATLANTA, July 7—There
have been many recipes in cir
culation for making home-made
brandies, liquors, wines, etc.,
but here is one which has been
thoroughly tried and tested by
an Atlanta lady who vouches for
the statement that it’s the real
thing. The recipe follows:
Four quarts of grape juice.
Two pounds of brown sugar.
One pound of raisins.
One yeast cake.
Mix all together, set away- in
a warm place (preferably in an
earthenware jar), and allow it
to stand for twenty-one days
and strain through a cloth to re
move the raisins and seeds and
the sediment.
At this precise stage of fer
mentation the brandy thus pro
duced is the finest kind of a
drink. Atlantans who have tried
it declare the brandy contains a
regular kick that is very satis
factory as a substitute for an
old-time Scotch highball.
If you prefer to make a still
stronger drink you may distill
the ferment thus produced and
have a tolerably high proof cog
nac brandy. That is to say, you
may distill it if you have a dis
tillery. jjj

Will be in session in Macon July 15,

all over the state are expected to

$232,000 RURAL
PAVING BONDS TO
BE S0LD_AUG. 4
A block of $232,000 of Sumter
county federal aid road bonds, nearly
half of the total of $500,000 voted
last spring, was ordered sold by a res
olution of the board of county com
missioners today, in preparation for
active work on the rural paving pro
ject. The board instructed R. L.
Maynard, county attorney, to prepare
the bonds for sale and advertise for
bids, which are to be in hand by Aug
ust 4, the date of the next regular
ATLANTA, July 7—That Senator
W. J. Harris will press the name of
Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens, for the
federal bench of North Georgia to
succeed Judge W. T. Newnan, even
though he fears the president may
not appoint him because of his being
past 60 years of age, is the substance
of a statement given out here by the
senator. Judge Cobb is on e of the
most widely known and loved men in
Georgia, and a brother of Capt John
A. Cobb, ordinary of Sumter county.
Says Senator Harris: ,
“My position is well known In this
matter to my friends, and I desire to
make clear to the public generally
my attitudq and the status of the
federal Judgeship. I am committed to
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens,
first and last for this position. Judge
Cobb is one of Georgia’s most belov
ed men and holds a place in the Ju
diciary that is filled by no one else.
Having been a superior court and a
supreme court judge, his high stand
ing judicially is recognized every
where. He is a distinguished citizen
and a real patriot, and it would give
me great pleasure to see him appoint
ed to the federal position with which
his name has been associated.
President Sticks to Rale.
"However, the present administra
tion has consistently refused to ap
point anypne to a federal pudgeship
who was 60 years old or over, and the
president has adhered to this rule in
making all his judicial appointments.
Notwithstanding this attitude of Pres
ident Wilson, I shall press the name
of Judge Cobb for this position until
the president definitely refuses to
appoint him. Every one recognizes
the eminent fitness of Judge Cobb
for this place, just as the. president
does, but the matter of age may pre
vent his appointment I shall leave
nothing undone to induce the presi
dent and attorney general to select
Judge Cobb.

'• Apses’ Commission (Matt
28:18-20).
1. The authority of Jesus, (v. 18). God
gave him all authority In heaven and
on earth. Aa mediator and coming
king he possessed all authority. This
authority extendi over all the ma
terial world, angels, wicked men, dev
ils. and his own people. God highly
exalted him and gave him a name
which Is above every name (PhIL
2:8). There Is no other way of sal
vation, for the entire matter of re
demption la In hit hands (Acta 4:12),
Since God has so highly honored him
It Is extreme folly to expect to ba
saved while disregarding him.
2. The obligation of 4hO' apostles
(w. 10-20),.
(1) It was to teach, that is, maka
disciples of all the nations (v, 18).
They were to mske known to the whole
world that Christ had died to save sin
ners and that God had committed to
Jeans the redemption of the world.
Those who are Christ’s disciples are
bound to proclaim him to others.
< 2 > Bapttss thou who .belters (v.
18). This Is the divinely appointed
way of making a public confession of
faith Id Christ Tha disciples must
publicly cake a stand for Christ Tha
application of water symbolises the
purifying effect of the blood of Christ
and solemnly dedicates to the service
of God. This baptism must be In the
'name of the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost, showing that the believer has
been brought Into definite relationship
to ench member of the Holy Trinity.
.(8) Teach the disciples obedience
(v. 20). Profession la not enough. It
must Issue In obedleoce. Faith must
result In works. To call Jesus “Lord"
and do not the things which he says
profits nothing. ■$$. .
8. The all-wfiBrm pt-omlse 'fv. 20).
The Lord had told tha disciples what
would happen to them after be bad
gone away. He made It plain that

AMERONGEN, (Correspondence
ot Thi Associated Press,)—The
.former German Emperor has been
discussing his financial problems for
more than a week with Doctor J.
Kricge, who has been in charge of
the imperial estates and funds in
Germany since the Hohenzollern ab
dication.
Dr. Kriege, one of the former Ger
man functionaries of the German
Foreign office, has been here in eon-
erence with Herr Hohenzollern when
the tetter wss not engaged in wood
sawing. The Marshal of the Ger
man Emperor’s court, Von Gontard,
also participated in the discussions.
The former German is not short
of money, as he possessed a con
siderable amount on deposit in Hol
land before war began. This was
added to appreciably while hostilities
were in progress. During the few
stirring weeks preceding the ab
dication, William and hia followers
trsnsfered further large sums in
ready cash.
But William is troubled as to the
fate of hla real estate. He possess
ed no fewer than fifty-five castles,
hunting boxes and country seats
scattered over the Empire. The
revenues of these properties sre for
the present at least in the hands of
the new government, which hith
erto has paid from their proceeds all
Herr Hohenzollem’s bills forwarded
to Berlin for settlement These ac
counts have been quite formidable as
the Imperial refugee Is called upon
to pay for everything he consumes,
as well as for his accommodation
and the upkeep of his suite, be
sides paying the wages of the gard
eners and domestics of the Bentlnck
estate who render him services while
wood-cutting or in the household.
The expenses of the Dutch guard of
duty around the castle also fall on
the Hohenzollern purse.
The German government’s intern
tlons concerning the former Emper
or’s private fortune cannot be
gleaned here. Germans recently
from the Fatherland declare there
is s great d»«l of purely personal
sympathy for William -among all
classes and that it is likely he will
receive s large portion of the value
of what he owned. They say it is
probable that most of tha 'castles
and country houses will be sold and
the cash result paid to Wiliam’s ac
count, but a number of them may
be retained as government property
to be used for the purpose of local
government headquarters. This they
consider an equitable arrangement
which will not deprive the ex-mon
arch of his rights as a private citi-
zen, as they believe, would bo the
case if his property were confiscated.
