Dalton Attorney’s Argument Re
sults in Acquittal, Though Fite
Instructed Verdict of Guilty.
DALTON, Aug. 2.—Attorney M. H.
Stone, although having practiced law
for less than a year, pulled a trick in
Superior Court which brought on the
envy of his fellow attorneys when, n
the face of Judge Fite's warnin'* tnat
he was going to charge the jury to
return a verdict of guilty, he argued
his case, heard Judge Fite charge as
he had said, and then heard the jury
return a verdict of “not guilty.”
The case was that ageinut Bird Mil
ler, indicted on two count" for se ling
whisky and furnishing whisky U, a
minor. The evidence failed! to show
the sale of the whisky; out it v ;.s
overwhelmingly strong t.iat he hid
furnished whisky to a youth
So clear cut was the case that Judge
Fite told Attorney Stone be cculd
argue the case if he wanted to, but
he Intended to Instruct tne jury to
find a verdict of guilty in ibe second
count.
At that point any other local attor
ney would have quit, but Mr. Stone
proceeded w'ith his argument. Judge
Fite’s ( harge was* brief and to the
point. He said:
“Gentlemen, in the count of furnish
ing whisky to a minor, if you b-lieve
the contentions of the State, ne e-
fendant Is guilty; if you believe the
contentions of the defense, he is guilty;
in either event the defendant is
guilty. So retire and make your ver
dict.”
The Jury w'as out only a short time
and returned with the verdict:
“We, the jury, find the defendant
not guilty.”
It was a victory which comes to few
lawyers, and Mr. Stone is being
warmly congratulated.

Life Sentences for
Murderers Stand
Attorney# for Clem Poole and Dan
Hatfield Decide Not to
Ask New Trial.
DALTON, Aug. 2. Superior Court
adjourned this afternoon without the
attorneys of either Clem Poole or
Dan Hatfield, both convicted of mur
der and given a life sentence, making
a motion for new' trial. The prison
ers have decided to accept the life
sentence.
The verdicts mused considerable
surprise here. In the case against
Dan Hatfield, only circumstantial evi
dence was introduced, but a verdict of
murder, without recommendation to
the court’s mercy was returned. In
the Poole case, direct testimony was
strongly brought cut, yet a verdict of
guilty, with recommendation to m***-
cy, was returned.
A coincidence connected with the
Poole verdict was that it was brough.
in at 10 o’clock at night, the exact
hour the crime was committed four

Adoption Gives Beneficiary an
Equity in Property.

struction of a paper pulp mill as a
part of the Yaryan plant is given se

Some Persons
“Flinch”
When Truth
Hunts Them
“If any man Is able to convince me and show me that I
do not think or act right, I will gladly change, for T seek
the truth, by which no man was ever Injured.”—Marcus
Aurelius, Roman Emperor. —j
Some shrink and try to close their eyes and ears
to the haunting fact that the little 2 1-2 grains of
Caffeine in every average cup of coffee is the de
mon which relentlessly pursues and starts various
ailments, such as biliousness, headache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness, bowel trouble, heart failure
and a long string of aches and ails, taking one form
in one person and another in another.
The effect of repeated doses of coffee, on those
who are susceptible to caffeine poisoning, is so
complex that it is difficult to foretell where its
hurt will be most serious; in Heart, Head, Eyes,
Nerves or where.
The stroke of trouble will come somewhere if
the daily doses are persisted in.
Of course, if anyone prefers to treat his body in
that way it is useless to suggest relief.
Lot him "follow the trail” until badly wounded.
Some go so far they can’t get back to health.
Others quit the foolish, losing game before fixed
chronic disease sets in.
There is a mighty army of sensible ones, how
ever, who have bravely tested the truth with their
own bodies to see whether or not it was the truth
that coffee caused their ailments.
It’s an easy test. Quit coffee absolutely for 10
days. Take Postum hot and well-made and keep
track of the change toward health day by day.
It’s the most exquisite pleasure in the world to
be perfectly well with all the delicate and beauti
fully adjusted machinery of the body working in
harmony, not interfered with by drugs, one of the
most insidious and deceptive of which is caffeine in
coffee.
This is Truth.
Meet it bravely with head up and a hearty
handclasp.
Truth thus made welcome will prove your
best friend.
These are facts without regard to our own
opinion, or to whether or not you use Postum.
However, it is well to consider that famous
food-drink because it supplies a hot beverage of
the deep seal-brown color of coffee, which turns to
the rich golden-brown when cream is added.
It has a snappy flavor much like the old-time
real Java, but there is no "sting” in it, no caf
feine or other drug of any sort. It is skillfully
manufactured of wheat and a trace of New Or
leans molasses.
It comes in two forms. One called Regular
Postum, must be boiled full 15 minutes.
The other, Instant Postum, is in powder form
and a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water makes
the beverage instantly. Grocers keep both kinds.
“There’s a Reason” for
POSTUM
