BIG-HEARTED LAWYER
SAVES POOR BOY FROM
SENTENCE FOR THEFT
HARTWELL, GA., Oct. 4.—The big
heart and eloquence of a lawyer saved
a young boy from being sent to the
chaingang or the reformatory for horse
stealing.
A true bill was returned against Ix
C. Cox, Jr., a boy’ about thirteen years
old, charging him with stealing a
horse and buggy belonging to a Hart
county farmer. Being too poor to em
ploy counsel, the boy, attended only by
his old mother, appeared in superior
court and entered a plea of guilty, ask
ing. without hope of escaping punish
ment, that he be sent to the reforma
tory instead of the chaingang.
J. H. Skelton, former senator from
the Thirty-first district, touched by the
youthfulness of the lad and the care
worn appearance of the old mother,
made an appeal for mercy that reached
the hearts of the jurors and brought
tears to the eyes of nearly’ every one in
the court room. After deliberating for
about ten minutes the Jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.

MRS JEST WILL
PLAY IN PUBLIC
Her Shakespeare Fund Has
Deficit, and She Will Try to
Make It Up.
LONDON, Oct. 4.—There will be a large
gathering of society folk, many Americans
among them, at Aeolian Hall in Novem
ber. when the indefatigable Mrs. George
Cornwallis West will appear in a new
role, that of a performer on the harpsi
chord.
The entertainment, of which this will be
the main feature, is in aid of the inevita
ble Shakespeare memorial fund, of which
folk are getting more than tired. Still
much sympathy is felt with Mrs. West for
the hopeless weather this summer killed
the chances of the Shakespeare England
exhibition, which she is running at Earls
Court. It is known that so far from there
being a handsome sum to hand over to the
fund, there will be a heavy deficit, which
it Is hoped this concert will make good.
In addition to her solos, Mrs. West will
play a gavotte on the harpsichord, to
which the Hon. Neville Lytton will dance.
Lytton is an esthetic young man of 83, a
brother-in-law of Mrs. West and a great
friend of Countess Lytton.
Mrs. West has come in for much crit
icism lately, owing to the fact that at one
of the booths of her exhibition it is possl
ble to throw cocoanuts at the mimic neads
of Lloyd George and other members of the
Government, but Winston Churchills
head. It is noticed, is ombted.

SAVANNAH DOGS MUST BE
KEPT MUZZLED OR TIED
SAVANNAH, GA., Oct. 4. —With only
one revision of importance, Dr. Craig
Barrow's dog ordinance has been
adopted by council. The clause requir
ing dogs on the street to be kept either
in leash or muzzled was retained. This
was the feature of the measure to which
the Chatham County Game Protective
association objected. A determined ef
fort was made to have the ordinance
revised to eliminate this. The request
of the hunters was granted, extending
the time for keping the animals im
pounded before putting them to death.
The ordinance provides for the ap
pointment of a dog Inspector. It will
become effective November 1.
