Court of Appeals Reverses Judge
Brand in the Griffin and
McCrary Cases.
J. W. Griffin, president, and R. H.
McCrary, cashier, of the Athens Trust
«nd Banking Company, who were
each sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary on pleading guilty to
accepting deposits when they knew
their bank to be insolvent, to-day
were granted the privilege of a new
trial and the withdrawing of their
pleas of guilty, by a decision of the
State Court of Appeals, which re
versed the trial judge, Charles H.
Brand, of Athens.
The ruling was made on the ground
that a new trial should have ben
granted and that Judge Brand erred
;n not permitting the accused to
withdraw their pleas of guilty, which
had been made upon the assurance
of the State’s attorneys that a pun
ishment for a misdemeanor, instead
of for a felony, would be Imposed by
the court.
Tho court noted that the agreement
among the attorneys as to the defend
ant’s immunity to felony punishment
was not binding upon Judge Brand,
and that therefore to-day's decision
would not direct that a misdemeanor
punishment be imposed, but rule sim
ply that the accused men are entitled,
it' they desire, to join issue with the
State and go on trial on all of the in
dictments. If they are legally acquit
ted, the opinion says, the punish
ment to be meted out, within the stat
utory limits, is absolutely within the
discretion of the trial judge.
A sharp rap was taken at the prac
tice of "bargain-making” In the courts
of the State, particularly In the cases
where an attempt is made to commit
tire judge himself.
The language of the plea filed in
behalf of Griffin and McCrary before
Judge Brand, on the strength of the
agreement with the States’ attorney,
was "Guilty, with the recommendation
that they be punished as for a mis
demeanor.”
. horn, instead of a misdemeanor sen
tence, the five-years prison terms
were imposed, a motion was imme
diately made tp withdraw the pleas of
guilty, but this was denied by Judge
Brand.
Mouse in Her Hat;
If She’d Only Known!
It was on a South Pryor Street car
the other morning. A woman board
ed the cur near Georgia Avenue.
Hhe gave her head a peculiar shake
and several timer* passed her hand
to her hat as if to straighten it into
Position.
Suddenly several men sitting be
hind her began to smile, looking
towards the woman’s hat. She gave
It another punch and out popped a
small mouse, which scuttled away.
The woman remained in her seat
apparently unconcerned as to the
young zoo she had been toting about
in her millinery.

The Waist, Gladys, Is
Where You Please.
Where is the waist this year?
Femininity sounds the eternal query
of spring fashions, a query for whose
answer the About Town man made
a personal investigation along Peach
tree Street and adjacent thorough
fares lavt evening.
And the answer, it finds, is an
echoed “where?"
To judge the evidence gleaned from
Atlanta street displays, if the latest
things in sartorials. the waist, that
acid test of yesteryears, has received
small attention from those who this
year set the styles.
The waist, Gladys, is where you
please. Those who affect the Bulga
rian mode of questionable ethetlcism
wear their waists an indeterminate
distance between the hips and knees.
And there are suite and suits on
Peachtree Street whose waists are
snugly belted somewhere in proximity
to the armpit.
First Lesson in
Efficiency Salesmanship.
A cheerful agent stepped into a bus
iness* man’s office the other day and
set his grip on the floor.
"I have here.” he said, “a patent
glass cutter for 25 cents. It is
known ”
"Don’t need any glass cutter!"
snapped the business man.
“Ah, you don’t need a glass cutter!
Well, then, I have here a vacuum
cleaner,that sells for forty dollars. It
if now in use in thousands of homes.
It is v ”
“I don’t need a vacuum cleaner.”
“Well, perhaps not; but then I have
something else here that will cer
tainly interest you. It is a phono*
'‘graph that retails for the small sum
of eleven dollars. There isn’t an
other phonograph in the world
that ”
“I wouldn’t buy a phonograph on a
bet," growled the business man, get
ting red in the face.
“Well, T am surprised! Rut then I
have here a camera which sell? for
$27. It will take the widest "
“No camera to-day!” yelled the
business man.
“Well. then. I have a $400 automo
bile. Which combines all the necessary
poin-ts of the higher-priced machines,
and "
“For the love of Mike!" screamed
the business man. “Here’s your quar
ter. I’ll take the glass cutter. Now
get out!"
“Thank you." said fhe agent;
“that’s all I. had to sell in tjie first
place."
Mayor Woodward said tp-rkiy h>
wanted Council to purchase equip
ment for the Tenth Ward fin* engine
house, the failure to do which has.
brought severe, criticism on the ad
ministration. But he declared nc
would not approve 'the piiiohase of
the La France engine which th>
Board of Fire Masters contracted'for
last year
This engine would have been “in
stalled-, but for Mayor Woodward’s
opposition. The .burning of a house
has decided the Board of Fire Masters
and members i of Council to seed: ■
thei .equipment at once.
“Let them advertise for bids in
the. regular way and I’ll approve, ih ■
purchase," said the Mayor.
“The Board of IVire Masters had
that engine shipped-, here-w.jthotit hnv
authority and without any fundus w it i
w.hidh to pay for it.”
The fire has aroused Couneilmen to
the determination to demand Monday
that the new Tenth Ward fire station
be equipped immediately.
“We can not afford to delay longer
on account of the Fire Department in
vestigation,” said Councilman Claude
C. Mason, of the Tenth Ward.
"If we had had an engine i,u. the new
station at Lee Street and Avon Ave
nue it could have reached Mr. Han
nah’s home in five minutes and prob
ably saved 'it.”
Alderman A. H. VanDyke said
Council must equip this engine hoiiso
at once.
Engin© Ready in February.
An engine for the station was ready
for a test February 1. But just as the
Board of Fire Masters was ready to
recommend its purchase fo ’Council
Mayor Woodward,filed charges againsl
Chief Cummings and the department.
The engine is still packed in a freight
car on a railroad siding.
“When a man goes through the
grueling experience of seeing his
home burn down and realizes the
cause of it is directly the result of a
squabble between officials of the mu
nicipality, he has a kick coming,” said
C. G. Hannah to a Georgian reporter
as he gazed upon the ruins of his rx j s 7
idenee.
Two blocks away is an unequipped
fire department building, which was
completed several months ago. Down
in the railroad yards on a car, where
it has been for two months,* is a tire
engine ordered for the building.
“I am a citizen of Atlanta and a
taxpayer, and am entitled to fire pro
tection,’ 1 said Mr. Han rah. “But it
was exactly 13 minutes from tlm time
I telephoned in the 1 alarm until the
tirsb piece of apparatus arrived. It
was several minutes later before the
second w agon arrived. The volunteer j
squad" from Fort ‘ McPherson, some
distance away, -had been aYlvised of

"My son and 1 worked hard to ex

it, throwing several buckets of water
on the blaze. Imt the* facilities were
not enough. 1 immediately telephoned
in the alarm, and was told that the
We^t End Company was lighting a
fire on Beecher Street. ‘For • God’s
sake. man. my house is burning down.’
1 said, and the man at the other, end
said he would do his best.
“Eleven minutes later my son put
in another call, and it was cxii-cUY* 22
miiv’tes later that the first w igou ar

SAVES ELDERLY PEOPLE FROM
KIDNEY AND BLADDER MISERIES
Sleep Disturbing Bladder. Weaknesses, Backache, Stiff Joints
Rheumatic Pains Disappear After Few Doses are Taken.
While people along In years are
n it-urally more subject to weak kid
neys, they can avoid the tortures of
backache and rheumatism and be
saved the annoyance of getting up
at night with disagreeable bladder
disorders, for the new discos ry,
('roxdne, quickly relieves the most
seVe’re ; and obstinate cases.
•Crox »ne relies s tin se conditions
by 'removing 1 the cause. It is the
most wonderful remedy ever de
vised for ridding the system of
uric acid. It is entirely different
from »I1 other remedies, li is not
hike anything else ever used for the
purpose. Croxone makes the kid
neys filter the blood and sift out
all the poisonous acids and svaste
matter that cause these troubles.
It so;rks right in and cteans out
•the*- stopped-up. inactive . kidneys
like ss iter does a sponge, dissolves
and drives out every particle of
uric acid and other poisonous im
purities that lodge in the joints and
muscles and cau-e rheumatism. It
neutralizes the urine so it no longer
irritates the bladder, overcomes un
necessary breaking of sleep and re
stores the kidneys and bladder to
health and strength.
It matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
t*’se you have used. The very prin
ciple of Croxone is such that it is
practically impossible t*> take it
into the human system without re
sults. It starts to work the min
ute von take it and relieves you
the first time you use it. You can
secure an original package of Crox
one at trifling cost, and all drug
gists are authorized to return the
purchase price If it fails in a sin

Atlanta Families Keep Vick's
Vapor Treatment on Hand.
Mr. A. II. Shelton, 52 Alexander
Street, slates that ten minutes after
I he first application of Vick’s Croup
and Pneumonia Salve, his baby was
completely relieved of a severe attack
of croup. Read what he has to say in
regard to Vick’s:
“On the night before Christmas
my baby woke us with a bad at
tack of croup. It was after mid
night and I could not get a doctor.
After using everything in the
house without results T hurried out
to find a drug store and had to go
to Elkin-Watson’s before 1 could
find one open. Ten minutes after
the first application of Vick’s the
baby was completely relieved.
Since then you may be sure we al
ways keep a package on hand."
Vick’s, the new remedy for colds,
coughs, croup and pneumonia, corner
i in salve form and is applied externally
io the throat and chest, covering with
hot flannel cloths. The body heat r#»
, leases vapors of camphor, eucalypti®
thymol, etc., which are inhaled wiCTl
each breath direc-t to the inflamad
parts ;it the same time the salve
