meeting Held Sue
cessful Session,
Our annual campmeeting at
Rock Spring convened August
29th and closed Sept. 2, and we
are thankful for (he good order
which prevailed from start to
finish, there being made not a sin¬
gle arrest, and if anyone was under
the influence of booze we do not
know it. We return thanks to the
county officers for so effiectively
carrying out the law which was
the cause of the good order we had.
We had a good selection of preach¬
ers. Dr. G. W. Arnold, of the
Atlanta District, preached for us
Sunday at 11 o’clock from St.
John xxi, is. and he was attentive¬
ly listened to by hundreds of peo¬
ple ; both white and colored, and
our souls burned within us while
lie unfolded the scriptures. We
had a large attendance of our good
white people and we are glad to
have them with us. Just one mis¬
take Was made as far as we know,
and that was in two or three white
boys who in passing the school
house broke out six window lights
and then ran off.
We had good preaching at the
session through and had very good
collections, the total amount col¬
lected being $58.84, and divided .as
follows: D. S. J. Griffith, $24.00;
M. M. Strickland, 1 ’. C., $20.93;
Dr. G. W. Arnold, $3.16; Rev.
K. I). Hough, $1015; Rev. F. R.
Bridges, $1.15; incidental ex¬
penses, *8.45.

Cleveland High SMg again went
into action Sept, 3m* with every¬
thing running smooth. The first

stand the test. The seventh and
eighth are again trying their hand

will be nothing knocking in that
part of the machinery. Prof. J.
W. Adams is again at the head of
the whole concern, and more es¬
pecially does he preside over the
ninth and tenth grades, so all is
well.

meeting at Louisville was held

The tents were built of logs. The
second year a board arbor was
erected, but the log tents remained
years, finally they were torn down
and plank tents took their place.
We hope the revived spirit that
prevailed during campmeuting will
last, and next year will be one of
the best campmeetings ever held at
Loudsville.

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEP. u, I9i7.
City Court Has Much Aut'orit?.
The act creating the city court’
of Cleveland provides that this
court shall have jurisdiction
throughout the whole of White
county, Ga. This court has no
connection whatever with the
mayor’s court or the town ofClevc
land more than a superior court,
and not any part of the funds de¬
rived from, this court in any way
belongs to the town of Cleveland,
but to the county as a whole, if
there be any funds accuring after
the expenses of the court has been
paid.
It is required that the judge and
solicitor shall have been a practic¬
ing attorney for stated periods to
be eligible to hold either office, but
they do not necessarily have to
reside in Cleveland. They are
elected by the people as are mem¬
bers to the general assembly every
two years,
It is the duty of the solicitor to
issue accusations against all persons
violating laws coming within the
jurisdiction of this court in White
county, and prosecute the same,
and the sheriff of the county and
his deputies and all lawful consta¬
bles are empowered to make arrests
under warrants issued by thiscourt.
The regular terms of this court
are to be held quarterly—conven¬
ing the first Monday in March,
June, September and December of
each year, but cases may be tried
at any time when there is no de¬
mand for a jury trial made by the
defendant.
It is the duty of the solicitor to
prosecute all cases coining before
him as does soiieitors-generai of'
superior courts, and in this
ty persons need not employ ai
attorney to prosecute an
before a justice of the 'peace, since
if the case is brought before the
city court the solicitor will prose¬
cute it without cost to the prosecu¬
tor.
All funds accuring from fines in
this court go to the county treasury
and become a part of the general
fund.
The judge of this court shall re¬
ceive $100 quarterly for his servi¬
ces, said salary to be paid from the
funds in tho county treasury.
The judge of this court is barred
in all cases within the jurisdiction
of this court, and the solicitor acts
in behalf of the state. Thus to a
very large extent our legal bar is
reduced in strength by two of its
attorneys by virtue of their offices.
Warrants issued in this court can
not be tried in superior court, and
only such cases as come within the
jurisdiction of this court can be
tried in superior court when an in¬
dictment is made by the grand
iury, and this in the discretion of
t lie judge of the superior court who
may transfer such cases to the city
court.

In a French' drive on the Vendun
front ; arnofig the casualties, was a
German officer, who like all others
under tbeGerman Imperialism rule,
have never been given the truth.
The German officer in a conver¬
sation to a commanding French
offjeer said; among other thing,
speaking of America’s part in the
war, when told by the French
officer that thousands of Americans
were in France. The German
officer replied : “Those are only
adroit man livers designed to .keep
up the spirits of the combatants.’’
The French officer then said : “We
would con vince you ; you shall be
conducted before General Pershing,
the commander-in-chief of the
American expeditionary forces in
France, now here, on the Verdun
front. You cgn question him and
learn whether it is the German
people or us who are being deceiv¬
ed by those govern.”
When the escort came to con¬
duct the prisioner before General

cheeks and he remarked sadly :
