DEEN WOULD ENCOURAGE
IMMIGRAN IS OF RIG HI KIND
Senator George W. Deen, of the fifth
district, has Introduced In the. senate a
bill which provides that Individuals
may contribute money or products to
the state for the purpose of advertis
ing Georgia abfoad. In this and other
countries, wtyh a view of bringing a
desirable class of Immigrants Into the
state from other sections and other
countries.
Speaking of this measure. Senator
Deen said:
"My bill Is not antagonistic to cer
tain resolutions passed by the farmers
ovfcr the state. If I understand the
farmers, they do not want Indiscrim
inate Immigration poured In upon us
and neither do I. and the very spirit
and wording of my bill Is to prohibit
this very thing. Indeed. If I could go
before the farmers with my bill and

Korean Soldiers
Fighting Japs
Seoul, Aug. 10.—Fighting occurred In
the Interior of Korea between the
Japaneso and Koreans, following the
Japanese demand that the Korean gar-
1 rlson be disbanded. The revolt became
general. It Is feared, as the Koreans
are gathering recruits and the Jap
forces are not strong enough to de
feat a great army.
THERE REALLY IS
HARRIS CITY COURT
Harris city court, famed as the in
strument with which the house antl-
prohlbltlon minority conducted a fllt-
• buster successfully for some fourteen
hours, won't be abolished after all.
Friday afternoon the senate special
Judiciary committee declined to accept
. the house action In abolishing the city
court of Harris county. It la said that
the house acted under a misapprehen
sion. believing that a majority of the
' people favored It and that the court
Is not a paying Institution.
ARRESTER ARRESTED
BY BROTHER COP
Bicycle Policeman T. J. Echols' was
arrested Friday evening by Officer But
ler, who charged him with disorderly
conduct. Assistant Chief of Police Jett
Immediately ordered him suspended.
Saturday morning the chief was asked
about the case. -
"There’s nothing to say about It,” he
answered. "Echols was drunk and
making a fool of himself."
Echols, who was off duty and not In
uniform at the time, boarded a South
Decatur line car and was somewhat
bqlsterous In his conduct The con
ductor remonstrated and Echols sub
sided. Near Pryor and East Alabama
streets,,however, a dray collided with
the car. Echols and the conductor had
words over this occurrence and Echols
tried to arrest him. At this Juncture
Officer Butler came along and took
Echols to the police station. He will
be arraigned In the recorder’s court
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Jennings III.
Mrs. Sallls F. Jennings, wife of Chief
of Police Henry Jennings, Is serious
ly 111 at their home, 20» Kimball street.
Her condition has been critical since
last Sunday night and her husband has
not left her since then until Saturday
morning, when business demanded that
he go to his office for a few hours.
Mrs. Jennings has been a sufferer
from chronic mart disease for several
years.
I believe they would endorse It heart
ily.
"The purpose of ray bill is to get
more formers In Georgiy and one
statement will show how we need
them: the cotton crop of Georgia
brings annually to the state about
eighty million dollars and Georgia
sends out of the state for foodstuBs
about eight hundred million—nearly
ten times what our cotton brings.
Don’t we need farmers? And farmers,
wherever they come from, of whatever
nationality, are as a rule, good citi
zens and a desirable class. The coun
try people from England, Scotland,
Germany, Norway, Sweden, Holland
and Switzerland are a most worthy
class of Immigrants, and enough of
them In Georgia would solve the prob
lem of making the bigger half of our
produce which we are now sending out
of the state for.
In the Sea Flats.
"Why, the sea flat section'of Geor
gia could supply every family In the
state a farm big enough to make a
living on and then have enough pas
ture land left to graze all the stock In
Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. One
can go ten miles In a straight line In
my part of the state and never see a
house or a cleared acre, and. yet some
of my farmer friends would have us
reserve all Georgia soil for Georgians.
At the present rate of Increase It would
take a hundred and fifty years to set
tle and cultivate one-half the land In
my section of the state, and It Is hard
ly fair for the settled sections to keep
us In the woods that long.
"The sea flats are the home of the
sea Island cotton, which brought last
year 37 cents a pound, and one can
raise as much per acre as he can of
short cotton on the uplands; they yield
rich returns In early truck and semi-
tropical fruits; they grow sweeter
cane than Louisiana and liner pota
toes than Cuba and the health of that
section Is as good as the average
throughout Georgia, but these facta
have not been generally known and the
result Is, we have not enough people
by a million. We want the state to
give us the privilege of securing these
people through Its sovereignty,, since
we cannot, as Individuals, go Into other
countries and bring them. If other
parts of the state do not want them,
we will promise to keep them In the
sea flats and not allow them to trouble
the settled communities and we prom
Ise to seek only the best country folk
under strict supervision of the com
mlssloner of agriculture and In com<
pllance with the federal provision.”
The bill is senate bill No, 102, and Is
set for consideration before the general
agricultural committee on next Mon'
day.

That the Barnesvllle dispensary may
continue selling whisky until it is put
out of business by the state prohibition
law on January 1, 1908, S. Grabfelder
& Co., of Louisville, Ky., filed a petition
in the Federal court on Saturday ask
ing for an Injunction restraining the
ordinary of Pike county from publish
ing the result of a recent election held
there.
An order was signed by United Slates
Circuit Court Judge David D. Shelby,
of Huntsville, Ala., requiring the de
fendants to appear before him In
Huntsville on Saturday. August 17. and
show cause why the petition should not
be granted.
The proceedings In the Federal court
are directed by the petitioners, who are
distillers, against the city of Barnes-
vllle, the dispensary commission of
Barnesvllle and J. W. Means, ordinary
of Pike county.
The petitioners allege that on June
1C; 1907, they loaned the city of Barnes
vllle, through the dispensary commis
sion, 320,000, which was to be paid back
In monthly Installments of 31,000 with
interest.' This money was for the pur
pose of helping to get the Sixth district
agricultural college established there.
In addition to this the city gave 310.000,
It was provided that this , money
should be paid back to Grabfelder &
Company out of the profits of the dis
pensary. It Is alleged that so far the
defendants have paid back 38,500 and
that they still owe 311.500.
The petition decltes the fact that on
August 1, an election was held
Barnesvllle after being called by the
ordinary to decide whether or not the
dispensary should' be continued ‘and
that a majority of the voters decided
to abolish the dispensary. Grabfelder
& Cqmpany allege that the ordinary
is about to publish the result of. this
election, as required by law, for four
weeks and they seek to restrain him
from doing so. They say that If the
dispensary Is abollaned there will be
no means of repaying them their 311.-'
500 which was to be paid back out of
the dispensary profits.
It Is alleged that this election was
Illegal and Illegally railed and that It
is Illegal to abolish It. They also want
the federal court to enjoin anyone put
ting It out of business before the state
law goes into effect on the first of the
year.
It Is claimed that the dispensary has
five or six thousand dollars worth of
stock on hand and that It this Is sold
out during the balance nr the year
the Indebtedness will be paid.
Rosser A Brandon and L. A. Grtz
appear as attorneys for the plaintiffs.

Well, did you ev?r think that there are certain facilities that only
a hank can offer and that some day vqu are going to find them necessary?
It s so. Take the mers matter of identification and reference just
for instance. A bank can stand you in good stead, but hot if .you are a
total stranger to it and its officers.
The thing for you te ds therefore—asids from the urgent considerations
of safety and convehiehce--is to identify yourself as a depositor with the
bank of ygur choice. Thsnyour interests become identical with those of ths
institution and^gu have a right to expect the advantages accruing from
such a relation.
Why not let this Bank hs YOUR Bank? It is strong, well-managed,
under government supervision, thoroughly modern in equipment and meth
od, v«ry convenient (heart of town), and will hs glad to have your ac
count and to extend you all possible courtesies.

Charged .With the Murder
of a Prominent
Physician.
W. J. Heard, who 1* known to every
body about the capttol, waa before Act
ing Recorder Dr. A. H. Baskin Satur
day morning, charged with being drunk
and dlzorderly.
He went Into the house while It
was In sezzlon and sat down In ons
of the legislator’s seats," said Sergeant
Coleman. "Because he Is a pretty good
old gentleman when sober, nobody die-
turbed him until he began to Interrupt
a member who was speaking. Speaker
Slaton ordered him ejected, and hs
w as, but for all he’s old, we had a hard
time to do It. We tried to reason with
him, and lots of his friends did, too,
but It was no use. He wouldn't leave,
we had to lock him up.”
Upon reaching the police station,
‘Uncle Bill” made a speech, addressing
most of his remarks to Turnkey Bos
tick, that resulted In a second charge
being placed against him, as his lan
guage was far from choice.

but probably It all happened. He prom
ised It wouldn’t happen again, too, but
as It has happened before, he was lined
on both charges. It took every cent
he had to pay his lines, although he
pleaded hard to keep 15 cents.
COUNCILMAN DEFENDANT
TO SENSATIONAL 8UIT.
Special to The Georglaiv
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 10.—A sen-
rational suit has been died by heirs of
Mrs. E. W. Davidson against Captain
Thomas W. Fritts, a leading business
man and member of the city council.
The complainant's bill chargss that
Captain Fritts obtained by fraud and Is
now In possession of property worth
fully 3100,000, which belongs to them.
Captain Fritts makes vigorous denial
of the charges.
Two attempts were made Friday
night to chloroform J. W.. Clark and
his wife at their home, 320 East Hunt
er street, but thus far the efforts of
the police to discover a motive for the
acts have proved unavailing.
Neither Mr. Clark nor his wife can
offer any explanation, they say. They
moved Into the house Friday morning,
and have no enemies In the neighbor
hood, and they do not believe they have
any In the locality they left.
The llrst attempt with chloroform
was made about 11 o’clock, soon after
they had retired. They heard a shut
ter open and something fall Into the
room. Upon Investigation they found a
2-ounce bottle, without a cork, that had
Just been emptied of some sweetish
smelling liquid. A neighbor whom they
called In said the stuB In the bottle
had been chloroform.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark soon retired
again. Mrs. Clark, who has bean In III
health for some time, and was still
nervous over the Incident of the night,
could not sleep. She soon got up and
sat In a chair.
About 1 o’clock she heard some one
movlhg outside the door which opens
on the rear porch. She again smelled
the pungent odor that had citing to the
bottle, and she gave a scream that
aroused her husband. He ran to the
door, bbt saw no one. As he closed
the door, however, he felt that It was
damp below the knob, and when he
brought a light he saw a tiny stream of
moisture running down the door from
the keyhole.
Policemen Pierson and Camp
sponded to his call for the police. They
found that an attempt undoubtedly had
been made to shoot the drug Into the
room through the keyhole, presumably
with a syringe. They remained on
watch In the neighborhood until day
break, but. saw nothing to arouse bus
ptclon.
The Clarks are not rich, and theirs
scarcely Is an abode a burglar would
select as a Held. The only theory that
■eems to havo any merit Is that who
ever attempted to choloform the people

were there. The former tenants left

of them.
