NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Mme. D,

her dispensary for the beverage, caused
a shock to Magistrate O'Connor In Mor

blushes to rise up to the tops of the
judicial ears.
Mme. Schnable was summoned to
court by Samuel Poanessa. ladies' tai

of a dross for which she had furnished
the material, the woman had declined
to pay him sl7 for his work.
“The dress does not fit." said Mme.
Schnabh . as she took the stand. She
shook the dress out of its box and
reached around to the back of her neck

dress she was wearing.
“Don’t, madame. Don’t!” implored
Magist'ate O'Connor, with breathless
haste. “Don't undress!"
"How inti I show you the new dress
isn't a fit if I don’t undress to put it
on'.’" retorted the “Coffee Lady” Indig

undone under Imi busy fingers.
“Bui madame! ’ shouted the judge,

probation officer. 'will you please

The answer of the Augusta-Aiken

ATLANTA GREEKS OFF
TO WAR IN ANSWER TO
CALL OF SOVEREIGN
Answering the call of King George of
Greece. 75 Atlanta Greeks are leaving
from the Terminal station this after
noon in a special car for New York,
where they will sail on the Greek liner
Macedonia for their native land, to
fight against the Turk. Their objective
point is Athens.
The band of Greeks was gathered
from the local colony of 800 or 900 per
-ons. and their departure leaves va
cancies in dozens of restaurants and at
las man? fruit stands. They are mem
bers of the Pan-Hellenic union, which
supplies the king with a fighting force
from this country.
Andrew Berry and other companions
left Atlanta several days ago, and will
arrive in the. old country ahead of the
larger force. Those who remain behind
are subject to summons before a court,
which lifts the power to send them to
the penitentiary for 20 years, but as
long as they stay in America they are
not molested.
HUMANE SOCIETY IS
URGED TO SAVE CHILD
FROM LIFE IN MILLS
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Oct. 14.—The
thirty-sixth annual meeting of the
American Humane association opened
here today. Many delegates represent - I
ing anti-cruelty associations and socie
ties from all parts of the United States
are in attendance at this convention.
These meetings will last for three
days and will be devoted first to the
consideration of work for children and
the second half of the sessions will be
devoted to the consideration of animals
Many important addresses pertaining
to the treatment of children and look
ing to the elimination of child labor
have been prepared by eminent men
and women, who have devoted their
lives to this humane cause; in fact,
everything pertaining to children and
every kind and condition of childhood
will be ably discussed
"Save the child is the ruling spirit of
the day," said President Stillman at
the opening of the congress. "This no
ble work should engage the attention
of every good man and woman in the
country, and I venture to believe that
within a few years such things as littk
children working in factories will not
be heard of.”

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
I Those who attended the Fite con
j tempt hearing before the court of ap-
I peals Saturday had whatever quality
of satisfaction there may have been in
jajok, r> >revTH
witnessing the
' second judicial
proceeding of the
kind ever insti
tuted in the his- I
tory either of
American or Eng.
lish jurisprudence,
for only once be
fore in American
—and never in
English legal
history has a
judge of a trial
court been haled
before a court of
review for con
tempt.
Never again in
Georgia, perhaps.
will any person
living today have another opportunity
to attend such a hearing. It is the
hope of the bar. no less than the lay
men. of course, that never again will
such a proceeding be necessary; but.
whether it were tiie hope or not, it
likely is true that the Fite case will
stand forever, isolated and alone, as
Georgia s one contribution to the spe
cific contempt record in question.
There was one feature of the hear
ing. however melancholy its general
aspect may have been, that all Georgia
would have profiled in having imme
diate knowledge of. and that feature
was the wonderful speech delivered, for
the court, by Judge Samuel B. Adams,
of Savannah.
Fortunately, it will be an available
part of the record, for it was taken
down by a court reporter, and will be
transcribed into ordinarily readable
shape eventually.
■ This speech was a gem of repressed
and dignified oratory—it will become a
classic.
It Is not an easy matter to express
an opinion, even in favorable criti
cism. upon a public utterance such as
Judge Adams' was. It was so lofty in
tone, so chaste in language, so devoid
of harshness or violence, ’a nd yet so
tremendously impressive, that the In
clination is to discuss it with a meas
ure of reserve, that one may not seem
to be in any wise fulsome or touched
eve’- so remotely with a mere desire to
praise
Judge Adams' speech was one that
must have made very person who heard
it a better citizen, and a patriot more
sure of himself than ever before.
It decried the cheaper and meaner
■ things of life—-it exalted tile virtues of
simple faith and the sweeter and no
bler sentiments.
It expressed the sincere afid abiding
love ot a. lawyer, without fear and
without reproach, for the orderly and
earnest preservation of the peace
through the law honestly administered,
and freed of passion, prejudice and ap
peal to the mob.
In specific terms it reproached the
respondent in the case at bar not at
all; but it scathingly protested the ut
terance that called forth the contempt
proceedings, and it deprecated the ten
dency of such things.
Judge Adams' speech should bo read
by every Georgian. Nothing finer has
been said in all the history of the
courts of the state—nothing more
nearly certain in its good and uplifting
effect.
If nothing more had come of the
Fite hearing than Judge Adams’ mag
nificent address, the. proceeding would
have been well worth while.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Jesse Mercer has been telling his asso

south Georgia which quite puts it over
all other sish 1 ponds known to disci
ples of the reel and rod in this state.
in performing his duties as guar
dian of trie piscatorial interests of
Georgia. Commissioner Mercer has to
visit all sorts of out-of-the-way places
ami sections, and makes the acquaint
ances. in consequence, of all sorts of
persons and things. Naturally, there
fore. he meets many worthy and well
qualified Georgians who rarely get to
the big cities, and who are more or
less unmindful of the big cities' neces
sities and desires.
In one of these rounds. Colonel Mer
cer ran across the big fish pond of
which he lately has been talking, and
what he says of it is enough to awaken
and arouse a rampant desire in the
heart of the most blase sportsman to
be up and doing.
"This pond.” says Mercer, “contains
not less than B,l*oo acres and is in the
southwest corner of Berrhen county,
bordering on the Okefenokee swamp
region.
"It literally swarms with fish the
most beautiful and gamey imaginable,
too! From it may be taken, by the
millions, speckly bream, weighing from
ofie to three pounds; trout, running up
to twelve pounds, and blue bream,
weighing from one-half to one pound.
"Moreover, there is not one Gorman
carp in the en'ire pond, and to the
complete absence of that pira'e and
most undesirable citizen in all flsndom
may be as ribcd the great size of the
noble fish family running free in this
pond.
"This pond is a pond, mind you, and
not a lake. It was built originally for
a mill pond. It is now in the custody
of B. T. Berryhill, of Milltown, and Is
visited infrequently by fishermen.
"I am perfectly honest when I say I
lalieve there are more fish in this one

fact that Mays was robbed of nearly ev

in which he had nearly S2OO and which is
known to have been fastened about his
neck, is missing, as is his gold watch and
trunk. The disappearance of the valu
ables was discovered when examination
of his room was made after he was found

A search by the Birmingham police has

The fact that the chamois hag and
