Every man, woman and child in

Our navy, says Commander Sims, was

According to a Berlin correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-Journal, when
the German emperor goes 1o a musi

jokes and hands them from the royal
box to the leading comedian, Has any

Says the New York Journal: A bit
ter pill for the enemies of the Ameri
can system of public education is this:
As the schools and population increase
in size, the jails fail to keep pace. As
the cost of education®goes up, the cost
of the police force proportionately
goes down. In other words, the money
that lhe‘iubllc spends on education is
largely saved on police, poorhouses,

he had been informed by Treasurer.
Treat that for the first time the gold
coin and bullion in the United States
had reached and passed the sum oti
$1,000,000,000, “an event so extraor
dinavy,” he said, “that it will be chron

which all eltizens of our republic,
without regard to party affiliation, may
well contemplate with satisfaction and

Every rallroad has the right to se

patch, That is the method which the
law prescribes and which fair and im

When a railroad refuses to take that
course, and instead secures traffic by |
rebates of which the general shipping
public is not notified, the onus is on
it to explain whether it violates the

A Question of Road Duty,
The -county commissioners of Ter
rell have” submitted to Attorney Gen
eral Hart the question as to wao are
subject to road duty in the county,l
as there seems to a conflict in thc‘
laws on this subject, one statute fixing
the age of persons “liable to performl
road duty at 21 years old, and not
over 50 years old, whllé\another pro
vision of the law fixes Ehe ages at
16 up to 50 years. The commission
ers have been holding that all persons
are llable to road tax who %Hre 16
years old and not over 50; but under
the act passed in 1907, amendment
to the road laws of the state, it may
be determined that only those who are
over 21 years old, and not” over 30
years of age are subject to road duty.

Record-Breaking . Peach Crop.
The peach crop this season is the
heaviest and most perfect in ten years,
or since 1898, They went through the
blooming process under summer skies
and without any rain,"and the weather
has been favorable for their develop
ment so far. The latest date for frost
of any consequence during the past
twenty-two years was on April 28, 1888,
and unless some disaster overtakes
them, Georgia will have a fruit crop
this year that will contribute largely
to the wealth of the state.
It is believed there is at least 7,000,
000 peach trees in the market orchards
of the state that will average a crate
to the tree. This will maks 14,000 cai
loads. They should bring 50 cents a
crate to the grower above all ex
penses, which will be $3,500,000. .

By Federal Injunction Issued
Against Them at Pensacola,
RIOTING STARTS AGAIN
Conductor Fatally Shot by Mob Which
Attempted to Take Charge of His
Car — Situation in City is
Made More Acute.
An injunction was issued out of the
United States court at Pensacola, Fla.,
Tuesday night by Judge Shpppard re
straining members of the Amalgamat
ed Association of Street Railway Em
ployees, as well as their friends and
sympathizers from in any way interfer
ing with the operation of cars by either
violence or persuasiom.
After a week of quietness, due to the
fact that the state troops were in the
city, Pensacola is again in the midst
of turmoil and excitement, due to riot
ing and shooting, which occurred on
Tuesday morning.
One car was attacked in the morn
ing, and the conductor, G. Hoffman, is
now lying with what is thought to bea
mortal wound in his thrcat. The man
has three wounds, two in the neck and
a third in the arm. His car was at
tacked by a crowd estimated at 25, who
attempted to board it in the” suburbs
of the city. They failed and then at
tempted to catch the trolley rope, but
again failed. As the car sped ahead at
full speed the crowd opened fire. The
motorman escaped, but three bullets
struck the conducter, while the car was
riddled.
An alarm was sounded and a pro
visional mounted company of troops
went on a dead run .o the scene, but
the parties escaped.
Hardly had this excitement become
abated before W. L. Wittich, Jr., a sten
ographer in a brokerage office, was
fired upon from ambush by an un
known party. He had been riding on
the cars, and was then going from
his home to the car line. The bullet
struck a tree a few feet from him.
