Judge Newcomer maintains that a pretty face i.e more valuable at times than sheer physical force. The judge’s observations followed a case in which Patrick Gorman, a switchman weighing more than 200 pounds and standing six feet in height, was brought into his court by Miss Caro’yn Grimsby, a demure juvenile court attache. “Did you arrest this man?” asked the judge 2He consented to come with me,” re plied Miss Grimsby.

Brown’s objec tions to the elimination of Adam and Eve from the Bible, by reason of a re- vision of the fa mous old King James version, as outlined in The Georgian of yes terday, attracted a great deal of at tention and much commendation. A great many people share with the governor a decided disincli nation to part, for any reason what soever, with such youthful friends and acquaintances as Adam and Eve, and they 'll Jk jAJ-rS'X & NTVIM join with him in hoping that away may be found to work such revision as may be deemed necessary and yet div turb not at all the first man and the first woman as an ciently designated by name. It is rather a significant circum stance in connection with the govern or’s remarks on the subject of the pro posed change in the text of the King James Bible that he is the possessor of one of the few original copies of that book extant. The governor owns a copy, printed directly from the original type, that actually belonged to the king himself, and is decorated accordingly with the English royal coat-of-arms. Attached to the inside cover of tiie book is a certificate of its genuineness. This Bible was presented to the gov ernor by ills brother, the late Julius L. Brown, as a token of his love and abiding affection. Between the gov ernor and his brother Julius a most tender and loyal attachment existed. Julius L. Brown was a famous book collector —one of the most famous in the nation. His library was tilled to overflowing witli the quaint, the rare and the beautiful in books. It was, In deed, a token ot genuine love and affection, when lie parted with one of the most priceless books in his posses sion—the King James Bible—even to one so near and so dear as "Brother Joe." However, lie did give the book to the governor—and there Is nothing In the governor’s possession lie values more. The book, though somewhat faded witli age and printed more or less queerly, as things go nowadays, still Is In a most excellent state of preserva tion. The governor keeps this partic ular book in his private office at the capitol, and frequently, when wishing to use a Biblical quotation, refers di rectly to it, rather titan to the more modern and less ornate edition near by. The war department of the United States government has on band four cannon set aside by specific act of congress to the use of “the city of At lanta” for the purpose of "decorating the state capitol grounds,” and the department would be glad if it might dispose of them to the parties author ized) to accept and place them where they belong. Under the'soniewhat curious resolu tion awarding them to Atlanta, how ever. it is difficult for the city av.thori- •. and Mis. H. W. Davis, on left, tut! Mrs. T. I’. Hinman. ties to know what to Co witli tiie can non. The city car. not accept them and place them on the capitol lawn, unless the legislature agrees; and the legisla ture will not be in session for a good I many months to come. The state au thorities, on the other hand, can not accept the cannon, for the act of con gress specifically gives them to “the city of Atlanta.” Just exactly how the tangle is to be straightened out nobody at present knows, but both city and state authori ties are anxious to find away whereby the government’s gracious gift may be accepted, and at the same time not get either th. city or tiie state into a legal snail. % Governor Lee Luce, of Oklahoma, lias written to the executive department of tiie state of Georgia inquiring what, If any, authority tiie governor has in the matter of suspending or discharg ing sheriffs and constables found dere lict in their duty. Governor Luce has been answered that tiie governor of Georgia has no authority whatever in the direction in dicated. * A Georgia sheriff eftn not be removed from office otherwise than by trial by Jury. No matter what a sheriff may do, and no matter what charge may be brought against him, the law vouchsafes him a trial by jury before he may be removed or suspended from office. A solicitor general, like a jtTdgv, may lie impeached —but a sheriff can be disciplined in one way, and one way only. Captain Goodloe Yancey, of the Geor gia prison commission, somewhat ex citedly remarked in the capitol today that gbmebody had tendered "Bob” Gardener, of the same office, a couple of free tickets tp something or other, and that “Bob" had turned them down. The unlikely story was referred to Commissioners Patterson and Davison, who happened to be present, and both expressed grave doubts as to tiie ac curacy of the allegation. As Commissioner Williams was ab sent, however, the commission's unani mous incredulity could not lie recorded as an absolutely certain thing. T. C. Robertson, of Macon, is an ap plicant for the office of internal reve nue collector for Georgia. His friends have organized a cam paign committee and more than 800 personal letters have been sent hrougli out the state in his behalf. He also has friends of Influence in touch with Senators Smith and Bacon. Mr. Robertson is an insurance man of the Central City. The Jackson Argus, without guaran teeing anything, picks out the follow ing probable postmasters-to-be in Georgia: Atlanta—J. R. Smith. Macon —-Thomas J. Simmons. Savannah—B, P. Axson. Rome John D. McCartney. Athens —Harv< y St»vall. Dalton —T. S. Shope.

TOWER PRISONERS TO EAT ROAST PIG THANKSGIVING DAY Pig and potatoes is to be the Thanks giving day menu at the Tower, accord ing to the announcement made by Sher iff C. W. Mangum today. The sheriff said that, after yehrs of experience in feeding prisoners, he has come to the conclusion that frills dorf’t make a hit. “I’ve tried . hickt-n,” tie .said, "and I’ve given them fruit, candy, cranber ries and various other things that go with a holiday bill of fare, and they al ways kick because they dpn’t get roast Pig. “Nine out of every ten prisoners in the Tower think the best dinner in the world is roast pork and gravy, with browned potatoes. That is what they want, and I am going to give it to them." TWO MORE STUDENTS TO SECURE FUNDS FOR COURSE AT GA. TECH Two Tech scholarships were made possible today by donations to the mu tual scholarship fund, founded at the school by Professor Gardner, the reg istrar, to aid worthy young men in re ceiving a technical education. The money was given by two Atlanta wom en, whose names are withheld. Professor Gardner declared that he has a number of applications for schol arships from would-be students, finan cially unable to attend school. Two of these will be granted imme diately. With the pair of scholarships today five have now been furnished since the fund was started. MACON SLEUTHS REGULAR FINGER-PRINTSHERLOCKS MACON, GA., Nov. 23.—Macon police have worked out . a real Sherlock Holmes case, arresting a negro who burglarized tiie office of a local lumber company with only the blood finger prints on a dusty desk as a clew. The finger prints indicated that a man's right hand had been cut, and as the window was smashed in order to effect an entrance it was guessed that the burglar wounded himst if in that way. After three days of watching, the po lice arrested a negro who hgd three cuts on Ills right hand. Witnesses were found who swear that they saw tiie ne gro near the plant on the night of the robbery. He was formerly employed at the place, and was familiar with the premises. He lias been bound over to tin- superior court for trial. spreading throughout tiie state, and the idea is winning a large measure of fav or as it spreads, moreover. The Savannah News, commenting upon the suggestion, gave it a meas ure of indorsement several days ago, and now The Augusta Chronicle thinks it might bi a safe and sane way to set tle the postmastership controversies in congressional districts of Democratic persuasion. It never was intended, of course, that the postmastership primary idea should prevail in districts having Re publican congressmen, for, of course, the postmasters appointed throughout the nation uniter a Democratic admin istration will be Democrats. Here in Georgia, however, tile post masterslftTi primary would serve a fine purpose--it would enable a congress man to solve the puzzle of postoffice putrmtttge ffiirlv and without favor in ins district if Mr.'and Mrs. C.
