"The report is absolute!.' I false " h e asserted. "I am not going to jappea' for a reduction of the sentence, | nor would I accept it were it given vol | untarily. 1 am standing- by my guns in this case and on my legal rights.” According to the decision of the court of appeals, the fine must be paid by Oc - tober 28 or the judge will go to jail. It is expected that a subscription will be started immediately throughout the Cherokee circuit by his friends to raise the amount of the tine, though there s the possibility that the judge will seek further legal slay of the sentence. He has announced no plan. Judge Augustus W. Fite, of the Cher okee superior court, was fined 5.’.00 and all costs of the proceedings in the fa mous contempt ease concluded in the court of appeals late Saturday after noon. The Judge was given an alternative sentence of ten da.' s in the common jail of Fulton count', and October 28 was fixed as the final time limit within which be must decide which sentence lie will accept.

HUM ANE 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 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 bt devoted to the consideration of animals. Many important addresses pertaining to the treatment of children and look ing to the elimination of child laboi 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 ia 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 little children working in factories will noi be heard of.” SCHOOL GRADUATES CALLED SAUSAGE • 'HICAGO, Oct. 14.

NEVIN. Those who attended the I-'lte con tempt hearing before the court of ap peals Saturday had whatever quality of satisfaction there may have been in L yjß M<. jams-.’ a swvrw witnessing t h e second judicial proceeding of the kind ever insti tuted in the his 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 Geo’-gia, perhaps, will any person living today have another opportunity to attend such a hearing. It is the hope of the bar. np less than the lay men, of course, that ne'er again will such a proceeding be necessary; but. whether it were the hope or not. it likely is true that the Fite case will stand forever, isolated and alone, as Georgias 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 al! Georgia would have profited 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, and 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 ever 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 the virtues of simple faith and the sweeter and no bler sentiments. It expressed the sincere and abiding love of 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 be 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 add’ess, the proceeding would have been well worth while. Three Georgia congressmen came to DH.

All denied any curiosity whatever with respect to the Fite case, and each said he merely happened to be in town that day. State Game and Fish Commissioner Jesse Mercer has been telling his asso ciates around and about the state cap itol of a fish pond he has discovered In south Georgia which quite puts it over all other fish ponds known to disci ples of the reel and rod in this .state. In performing his duties as guar dian of the piscatorial interests of Georgia, Commissioner Mercer has to visit all sorts of out-of-the-way places and 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 8,000 acres and Is In the southwest corner of Berrien 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 one to three pounds; trout, running up to twelve pounds, and blue bream, weighing from one-half to one pound. “Moreover, there is not one German carp in the en’ire pond, and to the complete absence of that pira'e ami most undesirable citizen in all fisndom may be ascribed the great size of the noble fish family running free In this pond. “This pond 1s 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 nm perfectly honest when I say I l.tlieve there are more fish in this one Bind than there are In the entire state of Georgia outside of It. And as yet those who care to may fish there with out hindrance or cost. "The famous Reelfoot lake section tn Tennessee lias nothing whatever on the pond I have discovered in Berrien county, right here tn our own state of Georgia.” helps cut down the “high cost of living" by saving you from 10 to 20 cents per pound, a big worth-while saving on a year’s supply. 1 lb. 20c—Ti lb. 10c.—X lb. sc.

Mays, 24 years of age, 55 Garnett street, shipping elerk for the Spool Cotton Com pany. had bee.n robbed prior to his mys terious death Saturday in the Burton ho tel, in Birmingham, Atlanta relatives to day began a searching investigation of the mystery, believing the young man to have been slain. Coroner Brasher's jury in Birmingham, however, found a verdict of suicide. Mavs, who was tranferred by the Spool Cotton Company to the Birming ham office onlyl a week ago. was found in his roam in the Burton hotel unconscious from the effects of laudanum. He died a few minutes later in an ambulance on the way to the Hillman hospital. His body was brought to Atlanta last night at midnight, and this afternoon was interred in Westview oemtery. Money Bag and S3OO Missing. The theory of murder grows out of the fact that Mays was robbed of nearly ev erything he possessed. A chamois hag, in which he had nearly S2OO and which is known to have been fattened about his neck, is missing, as is hls gold watch and trunk. The disappearance of the valu ables was discovered when examination of bls room was made after he was found dying.
