ANOTHER MILITARY MEDAL.
Mr. W. A. Coursen, of Marietta,
“born in New York, is circulating a peti
~ tion to congress for a national token in
the form of a medal to commemorate
the bravery of American soldiers. It
will be given only to survivors of the
battle of Gettysburg and will bear the
the face of Robert E. Lee on one side
and that of Gen. Meade on the other.
This petition was written by a friend
of Mr. Coursen, Capt. James Perry, of
Gen. Sickles’ brigade, and sent to him
from New York for the signatures of
all soldiers and others who approve of
such medals. :
Gov. Brown's name stands first on
the list. Among the survivors in Ma
rietta of that terrible battle of three
days duration are Messrs. George Owen,
W. B. Clinkscales, W. J. Manning and
S. A. Anderson who saw the fight
through field glasses.
A few soldiers deprecate anything
that recalls"the struggle between the
stafes and would really forget it but
this proposed medal is to be a reminder
of the bravery of both Northern and
‘Southern soldiers and few will refuse
1o sign the petition,

Vel —here’s Durability!
N From Red Hook, N. Y., comes this letter—“ For
the past three years I can honestly say that I have
only spent $1.83 for repairs on my Maxwell. |
consider it the most economical car on the market.”
Many letters are received from Maxwell owners who seem surprised at the ex
traordinary durability and economy of their cars. That these durable qualities are
the rule and NOT THE EXCEPTION, is proved by New York State records
showing 91 per cent of the cars registered during 1905 and 1906, again registered
this year. - Seven years of continual daily service AND GOOD FOR MORE.
R PR R R R T
Mr. Tom Hamby, who carries the mail on R. F. D. No. 4, has been driving a
Baby Maxwell for thirty days and this is what he says: | .
“I find that my automobile has cost me between six and eight dollars less to op
erate than a horse and buggy. It is always under perfect control and I can cover the
bad roads in ONE-HALF the time it takes with a horse and buggy.”
Mr. Hamby’s Car is a second hand one and the fact that it has proven cheaper
than a horse and buggy shows the lasting qualities of Maxwell Motor Cars.

EVANGELICAL SERVICES AT
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The evangelistical services of the
Presbyterian Church continue to in
crease in interest. The text last Sun
day evening was taken from Luke
15:12, the subject being “Life in the
Wrong Place.”
Dr. Patton used as illustrations of
spiritual life in the wrong place the
parable of the lost sheep, the parable
of the lost coin and stressed finally
as an analogous instance the subject
the parable of the prodigal son. He
made a plea to all who were out of
the care of the Father to do as the
prodigal when he found himself in
great distress—to confess and sur
_render.

SALARIED SOLICITORS IS '
DEMAND OF THE PEOPLE
The Alpharetta Free Press Comes Out in Strong
- Editorial for Abolition of the Present
... Fee System.
: (Communicated. } o :
The people are demanding that the solicitor-generals' be put on
salaries like judgés. :
Why this demand?
There’s a reason. '
The people do not believe that a superior court, supposed to be a
place where justice is obtained for the least and the greatest, should be
converted into a mashing machine to grind monéy out of both guilty
and innocent people. They are tired of it and they are going to stop it.
The courts have been filled wjth hundreds and hundreds of trival matters
for no other reason than that hard-working people and honest people,
including in some cases helpless widows and orphans, should have their
veryy eye-balls ground out by merciless and inhuman desire for money ~
This thing is going to stop. Itis condemned by God and man. It
is an outrage on the public. It entails a burden of taxation on honest
property holders to run the courts for the benefit of others who care
nothing for law and order, but who, as a matter of fact, encourage
crime that court cost may follow.
The Free Press hears it on all sides that the people want their courts
to deal with criminals for the protection of the good people, but they do
not want innocent people, or boys who for the first time are guility of
some little wrong, mashed and bled for the benefit of greedy and heart
less and shameless nickel-snatchers. :
Whnen a year or two ago there was pending in the legislature a bill
to have solicitors put on a salary, to the end that justice might be done
the people, a flock of solicitor-generals who were fattening on blood
money beseiged the legislature and defeated the bill. Now the people
themselves have a whack at these fellows and they will'do a good job
of it. "
