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 The regular saving of small sums and their scientific investment under expert guidance will produce wonderfully handsome results.

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. SENATOR GEORGE W. DEEN. He has a bill providing for ad vertising Georgia for immigrants. T KEEP TO REPAY LOAN Distillers Go To Federal Court and Ask In junction.

DANIEL, President. 45-47-49 Peachtree Street. 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. UNCLE BILLY PAYS* FOR GOOD TIME You H ave No Bahk Account? 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.

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.
