Many are wondering whether Judge H. A. Mathews, of the Superior Court, will take cognizance of the Central Labor Union’s resolution. Some hold that the union men may be adjudged in contempt of court for their ac tion The resolutions particularly per to the Law Enforcement League’s petition f->r permanent In junction against fifteen saloons and to Judge Mathews’ action in desig nating the prices at which ice may be sold in Macon Already one of the petitions against the saloons has been granted, and the saloon has been put out of business by a permanent injunction. The oth er petitions are pending in court and set for hearing in November As to the Ice proposition. Judge Mathews acted on the petition of the Southern Ice Company against the Atlantic Ice and Coal Company, the Macon branch of a big Southern combine, and fixed a scale of prices. The Southern Ice Company alleged that the other and older and stronger company was cutting rates so low that it would be forced out of busi ness, and asked for an injunction. The Judge granted only a temporary or der. but arranged prices that must obtain during the entire Ice season. 35 to Cross Hot Sands of Desert Savannah Shriners to Initiate Candi dates in Columbus Sep tember 24.

Claims of Candidates. MACON, Sept. 13.—To what ex tent Macon Is interested In the may oralty campaign is shown by the reg istration of over 5,000 citizens. This registration exceeds by nearly 1,800 the registration of the Miller-Moore election of 1909. With only thirteen days interven ing before the election on September 26, the three mayoralty candidates are keyed up for much hard work on the last lap of the race. The most work In the line of public speaking will probably be done by the Wallace- Miller ticket, which is running on a/i anti-administration platform. The Miller workers will have a rally Mon day night in South Macon and an other during the week in East Ma con. There will also be meetings in North Macon, and in the Third and Fourth Wards. Mr. Dasher has a number of ward rallies scheduled. Starting on Monday night, Septem ber 22, there will be public rallies at the city auditorium for four consec utive nights. The Miller party will have two, the Smith workers one, and i Dasher one. Predictions Vary. Upon the closing of the registra- j lion, the Miller campaign committee made the prediction that there would j be 4,200 votes polled, and that Miller would receive 2,150; Smith, the ad ministration candidate, 1,550. and Dasher, independent, 500. The Smith 1 forces predicted Smith’s election by a majority of fully 700 Dasher mere- ! |y stated that he was confident of ! election. Neither Miller nor Smith I concede over 500 votes to Dasher. The charge made by Dasher, both I from the platform and in the public I print, that the Macon Hallway and ! Eight Company is contributing liber ally to Smith’s campaign fund, elicit- i cd an emphatic denial from Smith.

Willis, the Columbus bailiff who shot and killed Luther Hawkins, the At lanta youth, August 29, will be given a preliminary hearing next Friday morning before Recorder Frank D. Foley, who will sit in the case as a special magistrate. It will be remembered that Willis, in company with Charles Jordan, a boarding house proprietor, was at tempting to arrest Hawkins under a warrant charging him with beating a 50-cent board bill, when the latter started to run off from the officer, laughing at the time. The officer drew his revolver and began flourish ing it in the air, when the gun was suddenly discharged, and Hawkins fell to the ground mortally wounded, dying a few seconds afterward. Says Killing Was Accident. Since the firing of the fatal shot Willis has maintained that his re volver was accidentally discharged, while the State claims to have eye witnesses who state that Willis, after taking deliberate aim, shot and killed him. The State has refused to di vulge the names of the witnesses. Willis will be represented by T. Hicks Fort, Solicitor of the City Court, and Attorney D. L. Parmer, who will maintain that the defendant accidentally shot Hawkins, while the contention of Solicitor General George C. Calmer, who will represent the State, will be that the killing is murder. The father of young Haw kins is now making Columbus his home in order to attend the prelimi nary hearing and assist in the prose cution. The people of Columbus con tinue to condemn the killing, because of the smallness of the offense that had been committed by the young man. whose life was forfeited be cause he did not pay a balance of 50 cents on a board bill, for the simple reason that he did not have the money at the time. MACON, Sept. 13—Dr. M. M. Sta pler, of this city, widely known among the medical profession for the in vention for the cure of incipient deaf ness, has devised a form of fertilizer which he and his friends believe will revolutionize the present methods of soil cultivation. Dr. Stapler is a wealthy speciaist with a penchant for farming during his leisure hours, and it was during his spare time that he evolved the idea of concentrating fertilizer. After working on the idea for sev eral years, he perfected a fertilizer, compounded in cube form, each cube, no larger than a brick, having the potency of 200 pounds of the ordi nary fertilizer. His fertilizer is a composition of about 95 per cent soluble plant food, the remainder be ing a light plastic composition to hold the fertilizing ingredients in shape. His method is to drop one of the cubes—he proposes to make them of any size and strength desired—into each of the holes where seeds are planted.
