And Just to end the day on. there
yyns a beautiful, a grand, an Inspiring,
a Heal Old Time case. Not since the
Karly Days, when Oils column used to
he full of blood and the shrieks of the
dying, not for months has there been
such a sou I-satisfying case.
Maggie, colored, was the defendant.
Katie, colored, the victim.
Maggie, with a hickory slick, had all
but "busted her brains out." K.ilU
appealed with a head like a water
melon. nothing showing between band
ages' but her nose and a distorted lip.
All her teeth were knocked out on one
side and they thought her Jsw was
broken.
Wltneas said "Katie come round
dere lookin' fer trouble and she found
It!” She certainly found It.
Witness continued Maggie «v
eetttn' on a girl named Dawsy’s steps
Katie she come along de street and
say: 'Where de hht pin 1 loan you
Maturely night?’ '1 aim ifiad no hat
pin!' says Maggie. Katie says; ‘You

- ! 1 dare you
to rente out here off o‘ dat porch!"
Maggie paused for a moment tyi se
cure a suitable weapon, flitted out
without a word, swung the club thrice
round her head, and with the grunt
of one felling a tree at one stroke,
brought Katie unconscious to the
ground.
It was a memorable blow. The
sound of It was dull and sickening and
reverberated slowly up and down tlis
street. Maggie, after roljlng up Ucr
sleeves and looking round to see If
anybody else had anything to say, re
tired to her own home where the po
ller found her « few minutes later.
It cost her 1?6 or fifty days .and she
was. besides, bound over to the city

The congressman asserts that no
candidate of ths United States senate
in Georgia has ever been nominated
by the county unit plan or convention
system. He calls attention to the fact
that Speaker Crisp was nominated By
the popular vote of the entire state in
1896, that Senator Clav was thus nom
inated In 1902 and 1908. that Senator
Bacon's nominations were won in this
way In 1900, 1906 and 1912.
