Macon Central Body Protests
Against Judge Fixing Price of
Commodity by This Method.
MACON, Sept. 18.—Macon Central
Labor Union, representing 2,200 la
boring men, has strongly denounced
the injunction process as it has been
used in Macon within recent weeks
and also protested against a judge
fixing the price of any commodity
also through the injunction method.
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
tain to the Law Enforcement
League’s petition for 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
ombine, 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 lie 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.

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 tho 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 an
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
Dasher one.
Predictions Vary.
Upon the closing of the registra
tion, the Miller campaign committee
made the prediction that there would
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
forces predicted Smith’s election by
a majority of fully 700. Dasher mere
ly stated that he was confident of
election. Neither Miller nor Smith
concede over 500 votes to Dasher.
The charge made by Dasher, both
from the platform and in the public
print, that the Macon Railway and
Light Company is contributing liber
ally to Smith’s campaign fund, elicit
ed an emphatic denial from Smith.

campaign.
Advertising in local and adjoining

circulars scattered broadcast over this
section of the State, and something
that will prove entertaining to the
people will be brought here within a
short time.

Trial of Columbus Officer Who
Shot Youth on Account of 50-
Cent Debt Set for Friday.
COLUMBUS, Sept. 18.—Robert L.
Willis, the Columbus bailiff who shot
and killed Luther Hawkins, tho 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
oO-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 filing 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 he represented by T.
Hicks Fort, Solicitor of the City
Court, and Attorney I). L. Parmer,
who will maintain that the defendant
accidentally shot Hawkins, while the
contention of Solicitor General
George C. Palmer, 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 simpla
reason that he did not have the
money at the time.
MACON, Sept. 18.—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.
