A BIG CROWD HERE.
Sham Battle of Candler Horse Guards
Attracted Many People. Pleasant
Occasion.
There was a frig crowd here last
Friday to witness the Bhaijn battle
between the Candler Horse Guards
of Gainesville, and the Walton
Guards of Monroe. Besides the
battle, the game of baseball, grand
parade, and drills by the com
panies afforded amusement and
entertainment for all.
It is estimated that the electric
company hauled at least six
thousand people during the day.
Every car from before noon until
late at night was crowded to over
flowing. There was decidedly the
largest crowd at the park to wit
ness the sham battle that was
ever at the place at on9 time. And,
at the same time, a big crowd was
at the baseball grounds to witness
the ball playing.
The features of the day were a j
success, and the local military
company deserves credit for the
affair. Their treasury will, when
all receipts are in, be swelled to
the tune of $50 or more as a re
sult of the exhibition.
The sham battle was a very
creditable affair. Inspector Gen
eral Obear, who came up from At
lanta to witness the affair, highly
complimented the military upon
the success of the affair. Every
body was well pleased, and are
glad the local company succeeded
in making a nice sum from the
day’s entertainment.
The game of ball between
Gainesville and Norcross resulted
n a score of 6 to 8 in favor of the
former.

New Road Law Inoperative in this
County, and Alternative
System Stands.
There has recently been a great
deal of discussion in Hall county
over the bill passed at the last
session of the legislature relative
to repealing the alternative road
law. A copy of the bill was re
ceived by the Ordinary yesterday,
and the following section shows it
does not apply to this county:
“The provisions of this act
shall not apply to or affect any
county in this state having a pop
ulation of between 7,000 and 8,000,
or 18,700 and 14,000, or of be
tween 16,000 and 21,000 popula
tion as shown by the United
States census of 1900.”
According to the United States
census of 1900, Hall county had a
population of 20,752, therefore
the law does not apply to Hall, as
its population comes betwe* n
16,000 and 21,000. This particu
lar provision of the act will come
as a great disappointment to
many citizens who have industri
ously circulated petitions asking
the Ordinary to call an election
so that the people might vote
upon the repeal of the alternative
system in Hall county. One-fifth
of the registered voters is required
to call an election in the counties
affected by the act, and almost
this number had already been se
cured on the petitions circulated
in this county in the last week or
so.
In order to be sure that the bill
received here yesterday was a cor
rect one and to get a ruling upon
the question at the state capital,
Ordinary Dyer, accompanied by
Judge G H. Prior,went to Atlanta
this morning.
City Public Schools Open.
There was a gathering of the
“Young Ideas” at the different
school buildings in Gainesville
Monday morning, and they
seemed to come from everywhere.
The attendance was all that could
be expected on the first day, and
the teachers and patrons are very
well satisfied with the start.
The different grades met at the
places announced in this paper
last week, and their respective
teachers were on hand to do their
duty. Miss Hodnett of Colum
bus, the newly elected teacher,
was on hand and assumed her
work.

Had Two Fights.
J. M. L«ach, & traveling man
and a stranger in the city, had two
fights last Saturday or, rather, he
got struck by two d’fferent men—
Messrs P. A. Lathem and J. H.
Martin. The first fight occurred
over Leach calling Mr. Lathem a
liar, and the last fight was because
Leach threw an empty whiskey
bottle from his window at the Por
ter house into the yard of Mr. J.
H. Martin, the bottle falling near
Mrs. Martin and frightening her
considerably.
Cases was made against the figh
ters, but only Leach was fined,
Mayor Parker imposing a fine $1
and costs upon him. Leach was
under the influence of whiskey, or
had been drinking previous to the
disturbance.

Bad Accident to Mr. Majors.
Mr. Bob Majors, a well known
citizen of Tadmore and former
candidate for tax collector, was
thrown from a mule at his home
last Saturday afternoon and his
right arm was broken in two
places, his shoulder was dislocated
and his elbow was also knocked
out of place. His injuries are
quite painful and severe, and he
will be laid up for sometime. Dr.
Akin Smith was called and set the
broken limb. Mr. Majors’ many
friends regret to know of his mis
fortune, and wish for him a speedy
recovery.
The Caleb Powers Case.
The case of Caleb Powers, who
was twice sentenced to life impris
onment and still wanted a new
trial, which he got and by which
he was sentenced to be hung,
should be an example for those
who are not willing to abide by
one trial. If he had been content
to let well enough alone, he might
have had the pleasure of living
forty vears or more in the pen
itentiary; v but he has at least
received justice, by his own in
sistence.
Another good result from an
Anglo-American alliance. The
Duke of Marlborough has been
driven to work by his American
wife.
