The bill for this coming week prom ises to be an excellent one. There will he the three regular performances every day during the week.” LETTERS FROM TOE PEOPLE | Augusta, Ga., June 4th, 1914. To the Editor of The Herald. Sir: —X have one suggestion to make along the line of certain reforms ar.d in this I am backed up by all good citizens and taxpayers. I refer to the old-style Justice courts in cities These courts are nearest the people and are used to a greater or less ex tent, hampering the people—the poor in chief, as they are afraid of the man higher up it seems. While the com mittee on Judicial reform will meet at Tybee on .Tune ISth to press reform measures, we good citizens must co operate with them and see that thl* reform comes Ijel us recommend to our legisla ture municipal courts or else amend the present laws to make lawyer judges of these courts. It Is a tm\ estv on Justice to have Judges who are not lawyers administering the law and have so much power as th‘ courts. 1 noticed In my travels around all of the lawyers are considering these nuisances and as a general rule shun practice therein for J. P. seems to mean to them—" Judgment for the plaintiff.” All these courts make cases on 20 per cent basis and I find from my experience with them that two and a half dollars will buy a warrant for any of us rood citizens In these courts and our arrest by irresponsible con stables and even the sacred precincts of our homes Invaded by these peste for a trifle and all, as I say, without much notice to us. What do they care about the constitution? What do they care about homestead exemption" It is costs with them and they don't care how mJeh It comes. This might do In backwoods but not In enlight ened cities. The time hss come for the change. 1 am glad such gentle men as Hon. H. B. King and others welcome reform along this line. If Is a pity to call these course "Justice courts” when their machinery teems with Injustice. I.*t us get this re form offered by the committee and truly Augusta will be the Empire City of the South. , Respectfully. & S M. DEVANEI'. 1831 Walton Way. Florida Excursion via Georgia ant) Flonda Ry. Tuesday, Junt 9th. Phon# 709 for Information. Dashed to Death. Atlanta—W. O. Childers, once a not ed soldier of fortune, but recently in reduced circumstances, was dashed to his death from a hotel window on Walton street yesterday. The coroner is making every effort to ascertain whether the death was suicide or acci dent. Childers was once an expert civil en gineer and is said to have done im portant government work in Central America. Some light on the possible manner of his decease is shed by friends, who declare that when drinking, Childers had a mania for sitting in open win dow's, and that once betore, some years ago, he was almost miraculously saved from falling out of a window in the Grant building. Ben is Lem’s Chauffeur. Atlanta. —Ben F. .Perry, prominent Georgia newspaper man, and a w'ell known figure at the capitol, is mak ing his bow as chauffeur of the auto mobile in which Lem M. Park is ’’run ning" for state treasurer. Mr. Perry, who was chief clerk when Captain Robert E. Park was state treasurer, will be assistant treasurer in the event Lem Park is elected. That accounts for the fact that Lem and Ben are scouting around the state with Ren at the steering wheel. Their friends say that Mr. Perry has not only become an expert driver, but has learned so much about the “in nards” of the critter he Is driving, that they cat/ venture into the sparsely set tled rural districts sure that they will RUB-MY-TISR!!

Atlanta. — A fairy-tale peachtree that sprung up out of the ground without being planted, and that bears luscious fruit a full month before other peach trees give any yield, is being viewed today as an eight-day wonder in the hack yard of Mrs. M.
