A farmer over in Tift county
gathered 280 bushels of corn from
seven acres. “There is no theory
or guess work about this yield,’’
says the Tilton Gazette, “the corn
being gathered, shelled,
and sold.”

Chief Thomas E. James, of the
Albany Fire department, died last
Friday morning after a short ill¬
ness from a throat trouble, which
was at tirst thought of no conse¬
quence until an operation was per
formedand blood poison set in,
death resulting. Chief James
had been connected with the Al
bany tire department for twenty
seven years and was highly prized
as a public servant.
In his charge to the Grand Jury
Monday, Judge Park brought out a
very pretty thought. He said
that in every body of citizens, no
matter what their general charac
ter, there were to be fouud men
who would stand by the right re¬
gardless of anything. It is
balance of strong men in every
community that acts as a safe
guard for the rest of us. It is an
inspiring thought that no move
ment can be started but that enough
tried and true men will be
to it tokeep the others from play¬
ing the very devil.

Judge Park’s-Charge.
In charging the Grand Jury at
the opening of the present term of
Mitchell Superior Court, His Hon¬
or Judge Frank Park, brought
out some points in regard to a
man’s duty to the State as a law
abiding citizen which should have
sunk deep in the heart of every
true Georgian in the court room.
He prefaced his charge by say¬
ing that he did not intend at each
successive court to go over in
length ly detail the exact duties
imposed upon Grand Jurors, but
that at this time he had something
to say which he thought ought to
be said to every Grand Jury in
the State. He began by endeavor¬
ing to show them, by reason of
their being chosen from among the
most intelligent and upwright cit¬
izens of the county, the grave re¬
sponsibility which rested upon
them for the enforcement of crim
iual law, calling their attention to
the fact that they occupied the
apex of human power in that they
were responsible to no one for
what they did except their indi¬
vidual consciences, and that they
might blacken the character of an
innocent citizen or place the stamp
of their approval upon the black¬
est crime without fear of having to
answer for what they did.
He then enumerated those viola¬
tions of law which he said were
most conspicious, not in Mitchell
county alone, butall over the state.
He called upon them to look dilli
gently for violators of the prohibi¬
tion law, gambling, carrying of
concealed weapons and the law re¬
garding selling on Sunday. He
was particularly sev ere in denounc¬
ing the confirmed gambler and
the walking arsenal He said
that a habitual gambler respected
no law of God of man and that the
habitual carrying of concealed
weapons would make a coward of
the bravest man in the county in
sixty days. He asked them not to
indict the negro violator and over¬
look the white man, but to apply
the same rule to both. He empha¬
sized the fact that the whole mat
ter rested entirely with them and
that he had discharged his duty in
explaining theirs.
At one time Judge Park called
upon anyone on the jury who did
not think he could carry out the
law to stand up - like a man and he
would excuse him from duty.
Pausing at this juncture, as if
waiting for someone to rise, tile
movement was almost dramatic—
the alvsolute quiet in the court
room attested the impression made
upon those present.
The charge was a masterly one
in its entirety, and while we do not
believe that Mitchell countyGrand
Juries have been more -lenient
with violators than those of other
counties of the state, there is no
doubt but that Judge Park’s re
marks were timely and we hope
they had the desired effect.

Mr. John R. Rutland, son of
Mr. J. T. Rutland, of Albany,
committed suicide Wednesday
morning in that city by shooting
himself in the right temple with
a revolver. Mr. Rutland was 24
years of age and was employed in
the Atlantic Coast Line freight
depot. He had become despondent
on account of his health and left
a short note to his family giving
this as the reason for his rash act.

COLLEGE SUITS
The Newest Thing in Ready=to=Wear
Every Woman Wants One.
The hit of the season in ready-to-wear is the
new College Suit.
This suit is an absolute novelty which has
“caught on” everywhere. It is the most popular
suit style that has appeared in years. A College
Suit should be in every woman’s fall and winter
outfit.
The style of the College Suit is invariable,
though the treatment is different as to button
trimmings and skirt designs. Some of the jack¬
ets of these two-piece Suits show silk embroid¬
ered emblem on the front. These jackets are
semi-fitting and are extremely chic, buttoning on
the left side, from the collar over the shoulder
and down to the end, where the buttoned turn-up
gives a smart effect.
The buttons form the entire trimming treat¬
ment, and are of white, jet or corresponding
shades. The Skirts are shown in panel effects
with side pleats from the hips, full inverted box
pleats from the hip only, after the Mary Jane
style.
Our display of these favorite styles is particu¬
larly large and pleasing.

iots and Ladies’Cloth in Navy, Garnet, Peacock
