THE AUGUSTA DAILY HERALD VOLUME XIV., No. 156. MR. W.K. MILLER HONORED BY GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION Judges of Supreme Court Will Hereafter Wear Robes on Bencb. WARM SPRINGS, Ga.—The session of the Georgia Bar association sprung a sensation Thursday in the shape of a resolution, introduced by T. H. Hammond, providing that if the judges of the higher court of this state should deem it proper to con form to the judioal custom of wear ing robes as insignia of office while presiding, as observed in the supreme and other courts of the United States, their adoption of the custom would favorably regarded by their associa tion. After a lively, though dignified, dis cussion, participated in by Z. D. Har rison and Alex W. Smith, of Atlanta, and H. C. Cunningham, of Savannah, the resolution was carried by a good majority, and we may soon see our state supreme court presenting the same dignified appearance as does the supreme court of the United Stats. Judge J. Branham, of Rome, mem ber of the Georgia bar for the ordi nary lifetime, read a paper on “Law Before the War,” curious phases of law which related to slavery. Hon. Hannis Taylor Speaks The oration of this year’s asso ciation was delivered by Hon. Hannis Taylor, of Washington, D. C. His subject was: “The Historical School of Jurisprudence and Its Fruits.” The speeches revealed both the student and the orator, both the man of orig inal research and the popular ex pounder of the results of that re search. With the wide, strong sweep of an eagle eye, he carried his au dience where they could look down on the panorama of the nations and the centuries and see comparative juris prudence ari it exists, side by side with comparative phlli*ogy and com parative religion. He pointed out that the private law of the civilized world is the eternal, immutable law of pagan Rome, and that the only constitutional law in the world was evolved by Eng land. and that the great event of the last hundred years has been the great rushing together of these two systems of law. He said that the typi cal state of the future will be one which shall nave the perfect English constitution with the Roman private law, the whole discourse being based on the essence of his new book en titled “The Science of Jurisprudence” which has just been honored by the institute of France, and which has received' the highest praise of the greatest purists of Germany. Federal Constitution. Passing then from the jurisprud ence States, he devoted himself to the paternity of the federal consti tution, dmonstrating how it sprang from a personal author —Webster — who put forward the whole scheme in a single paper of thirty pages, pub lished in Philadelphia in 1753. The speech was received with en thusiasm and appreciative applause. S. P. Gilbert reported for the com mittee on'” jurisprudence, recommend ing. among other things, the pub lication of a new code.

The Idea that an acorn can be planted in the evening and a full grown oak tree result in the morn ing is on a par with the idea some merchants have that a small ad. Inserted one time will till their stores with customers for weeks. Such popularity would be entirely too fickle for a solid business man to base his plans on. It would be too much like the mushroom that attains its full growth during the night and blights and withers in a few hours of sunshine. The “good will” or publicity of a store, which often is a more val uable asset than the stock and building, is of steady and some times, slow growth—first the acorn then the sapling and finally the sturdy oak that weathers even the storms of hard times. Build for the future wltth con sistent and persistent advertising. IF YOU WANT REBULTB IN GOOD OLD AUGUSTA USE HERALD ADB. DAILY, MAN IS WAYLAID AND SHOT NEAR HUSTON Special to The Herald.

SENITOBSIMANEEE OVERSCHEDULEON COTTON CLOTH WASHINGTON —At once taking the floor when Aldrich asked for aye and no vote on the cotton cloth schedule, Senator Dolliver made the senatorial rafters ring with his denunciation of his speech made by the Rhode Is land senator Friday night on that schedule. ”1 desire to avoid any harsh criti cism of what has been done,” he said in opening his remarks. “But I am not able to avoid a plain straight forward statement of wluit this com mittee now asks the senate to do.” "Men are asked,” continued Dolli ver, ‘‘to cast their votes here not upon testimony but upon the authority of a committee and it, becomes my duty to inquire into the sacredness of that substitute for facts and figures.” Saying he had had no opportunity to read the speech of the Senator from Rhode island, Dolliver commented on the statement that "Only Ift per cent of the cotton cloth schedule had been changed.” Denying this by a counter state ment on the authority of Senator Smoot that only 30 per cent were un changed he was quickly interrupted by Aldrloh. “I said,” interposed the senator from Rhode Island, “that less than Ift per cents of the total cotton Importations, which amount In aggregate to $78,- 000,000 were affected by this pro vision.” Accepting this correction Dolliver declared that thirty years ago he had gone everywhere carrying in his satchel speeches of the senator from Rhode Island upon tariff so that he could refer to his statistics in which he said, he then had faith which was gradually slipping away. Dolliver exhibited a copy of the pe tition of the merchants of New York, which was a declaration against any increase of tariff duties. Responding to the request by the senator from Rhode Island, Dolliver read the names of the merchants. “Please state which of them are importers," said Aldrich. “Well, some of them are leading merchants of this country,” responded Dolliver.

TECH BOYS ARE USING "BLONDINE” ON THEIR ONCE RAVEN LOCKS Fad Has Taken Strong Hold In Georgia School. Mothers and Sweet hearts Will Be Surprised There Is n "blondinc” epidemic among the students out at the Geor gia School of Technology, says the Atlanta Constitution. Mothers who last patted their brown-hatred boys on the head and told them goodbye will, perhaps, Hen a different colored thatch when vaca tion brings them home again; the sweetheart who gloried in the rich ly-colored black tresses of the broad shouldered young engineer will, no doubt, be heart-broken when she sees him again. In fact, a brunette Is a. scarce article nowadays among the Tech boys. How this fad started is a problem which Is hard to solve as the Ann riddle, but it 1h no common sight, It Is said, to see whole squads of stud ents with hair of a bright yellow hue. During the football season, the pom padour and the “tillylu” (It's pro nounced that way, anyhow) were all tj)e rage. But the custom of wearing the hair brushed back Is now giving way to the old style, with the ad ditional swagger gained by the use of "hlondlae" guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act. It. Is thought the style originated following that memorable battle a few weeks ago between the Yellow Jackets and the Georgia boys, when the formed dyed their hair and played like fury to win the game. Ift« what ever was the cause, the custom is now common, and the boys are hav ing loads of fun over the glory of new golden top pieces. Of course, the style Is not confined to a majority of the students, as that Is never the ease when a fad is Intro duced. But to he real swell out at Tech, you must have blonde hair, wear a close fold collar, pumps and trousers that father would have scorned in his' boyhood days.
