Augusta, Sept. 12.—Sheriff J. 'f.
Plunkett, of Richmond county, wants
to know what the law expects of him
when he is ordered by the judge of the
city court to hold a man without bond
to answer the charge of violating the
prohibition law ( and, subsequently, the
Judge of the superior court orders him
to admit the man to ball.
That is'the situation that has arisen
here in connection with tjie case of VV.
A. Kelley, who was arrested for alleg
ed violation of the liquor law. Judge
J. C. C. Black, of the city court, refus
ed to grant the man bond, ordering
that he be held to Jail to await trial in
the city court on September 17.
Judge Hammond", of the superior
court, has now Issued an order com
manding the shexiff to release the man
on |2000 bond. This order was issued
when a writ of habeas corpus was sued
out before Judge Hammond. He was
about to lfave the city for Jenkins
county to hold court, and did not have
time to conduct a hearing on the writ;
so he ordered the release of the man
on bail until September 17, the date
he set for the hearing on the writ.
Sheriff Plunkett, in the absence of a
precedent by which to bo guided, re
leased Kelley. Although, under Judge
Hammond’s order JCelley is released
only until a hearing may be held on
the habeas corpus, it, in reality,
amounts to admitting him to ball un
til his trial in the city court, as his
trial is set for the same day as the
habeas corpus hearing.
The sheriff, for guidance in future,
is going to law the entire' matter before
Attorney General Clifford Walker and
isk for an opinion with respect to his
duty under the law when two judges
serve him with contradictory orders.

BIGGER RETURNS
LOWER TAX RATE
Nearly Hundred Thousand Is
Shown by Returns of Prop
erty—Responsible for Low
er Tax Returns for City
At the last meeting of the city coun
cil, held Thursday, a tax rate of $13.-
60 vVa's set on all city property, which
reduced the former rate by fifty cents
on the thousand dollars, the former
rate being even $14.
The action of the city council in
lowering the tax raie for this year was
prompted by the fact that the returns
of taxable property had been increas
ed from $2,014,907, last year, to $2,-
107,168 this year, an increase of $94.-
023.
During the past several years da

throughout Milledgeville in the way of
bettering the conditions of the streets
and sidewalks and in many instances
the beautifying of the thoroughfares
have bfien responsible for the steady
advancement in the value of property
and in this way cause both the prop
erty ow^nr and the city government

MARY PICKFORD AT
COLONIAL THEATRE
As an attraction extraordinary,
Manager Edmund Reid of the Colonial
theater announces his engagement of
the flow Mary Plckford picture, “The
Little American,” conceded to be the
greatest patriotic message ever seen
on the picture screen. Staged under
the personal direction of that master
of screencraft, Cecil B. DeMille, cre
ator of “Joan the Woman,’’ this pro
duction, it is, generally .felt, .surpasses
even; the. wonderful achievement of
that masterpiece.
Popularly known as “America’s
sweetheart,” Miss Plckford presents a
particularly fitting characterization in
the title role of this new Artcraft pcl-
ture. Presenting a story of especial
timely theme by Mr. De Mille and
Jeanie Macphcrson, this production, it
is promised, will bring home most ef
fectively, conditions involving the
present great war. Stirring views of
remarkably spectacular war scenes,
both on land and sea, are pictured in
the most modern manner of photoplay
technique.
As Angela Moore, the little Ameri
can girl who braves the dangers of the
war zone, “Our Mary” appears in
what is readily thought to be the
greatest dramatic effort of her career.
In scenes that demand much of her
histrionic finesse she offers a portray
al that is unlike anything hjtherto
given to the screen by this famous lit
tle actress.
In the production of “The Little
American,” various well-known author
ities on conditions evidenced across
the ocean, have collaborated with Mr.
De Mille, with the result that even the
most -minute detail has been pronounc
ed perfect. Again the combined arts
of Mary Plckford and Cecil B. De
Mille have been linked, together in the
cause of the photoplay and judging
from advance reports, this production
will go down In motion picture history
as one -of its greatest works of art, vp
well as one of its most powerful ap
peals. Admission 5c and 10c.
According to a statement given out
this week by President M. M. Parks,
of the Georgia Normal and Industrial 1 .
College, every dormitory of the insti
tution and every room of each of the
buildings will be filled to their capa
city whou the college opens Tuesday
morning of next week for the begin
ning of the 1917-1918 session, the total
number of attendants to number one
thousand students.
Although room will be provided in
the new dormitory just being finished
at the G. N. arid I. College for probab
ly two hundred additional students,
this year, at least fifty per cent of
the new applications received for ad
mittance to the college will necessar
ily be turned down on account of even
greater room, though the former ex
tremely crowded conditions will be
improved upon to some little extent,
even though the Increased number of
students to bo present this year will be |
almost equivalent to the extra rooms
provided in the now building.
Demands for places in the college
have poured into the office of Presi
dent Parks continuously during the
past two or three months and even
this v. cok additional applications have
been received from many young ladies
over the state Inquiring as to whether
or not it would bo possible for them
to gain admittance to the place at this
time. Some of these applications are-
made out more in the manner of ap
peals than mere applications, though
under the circumstances many desir
ing to enter the institution will neces
sarily be turned down for lack of room*
to accommodate them.
During the day Monday, several spe
cial trains will be operated over the
railroads coming Into Millegdeville to
accommodate the students to enter the-
college this term, which will be for
mally opened Tuesday morning at 8:3<P
o’clock.

LARGEST WOOLEN HOUSE IN THE WORLD, THEIR MAIN HOUSE IS IN,
NEW YORK; ALSO, HOUSES IN CHICAGO, PITTSBURG, CINCINNAI, ST.

ILY SE*E IN V/HAT ENORMOUS QUANTITIES THEY MUST BUY, WHICH
ENABLES THEM TO BUY AT A LOWER PRICE THAN THE AVERAGE
WHOLESALE MERCHANT AND THEREFORE CAN SELL AT A MUCH
LOWER PRICE. ANOTHER REASON IS THAT I DO ALL MY OWN SELL
