theories. Board $7.50 per month or only $67.50 for an entire year. For want of room 45 stu

Edward Slade Found
| Not Guilty of Murder
{ Cordele, Aug. 28. —A verdict
acquitting Edward Slade, the 18-
year-old son of E. Price Slade, a
|prominent Crisp county planter,
‘of the murder of N. Oscar John
‘son, his neighbor, on the 28th of
June, was returned today at noon
by the jury which had been out
in the case since yesterday after
‘noon at 5 o’clock, following the
charge of Judge W, F. George,
defining only murder in the first
degree and murder with recom
;mendation to the mercy of the
icourt.
, The case had been on trial since
‘early Monday morning and owing
‘to the prominent connections of
}both the Slade and Johnson fam
;ilies, had held the intense inter
‘est of a constant throng of atten
dants. More than forty witnesses
‘were involved in the hearing of
evidencve, most of which was cir
cumstantial and dealt with pre
! vious threats alleged to have been
been on both sides prior to and
isince a fight between young
i Slade’s father and Johnson early
in May, when Slade is alleged to
have called on Johnson at his field
for the purpose of discussing tri
| vial differences.
There were no eye witnesses to
the tragedy and notwithstanding
|young Slade’s confession that he
i killed Johnson, he was exonera
lted by the coroner’s jury and
'later rearrested and held with
‘out bail following the committal
‘trial. His 'plea was justifiablei
homicide, while the contention
of the state in the case was that
lSlade lay by the roadside in wait
ing for Johnson to return back
from Raines, where he had gone
for medicine for a sick child, by
way of Slade’s farm.
Evidence was offered to show
that both the Slades and Johnson
were constantly carrying pistols
for each other.
Mileage Problem
Up Next Week
~ Atlanta, Aug. 18.—Some time
next week the Georgia Railroad
Commission will decide the mile
age ‘‘pull’’ question, which has
been pending before the body for
several weeks.
The commission held up on the
matter while the issue was in the
legislature, but with Governor
Brown’s veto it once more be
‘came a problem for that bedy to
‘handle.
| Chairman Murphy Candier has
abandoned a trip to Washington
ito attend a rate confergpce in
order to take up this mileage
issue. Contrary to printed sto
ries in a certain Atlanta paper,
the traveling men are not revil
ing Gov. Brown for his wveto.
They deplore the fact, but com
parativély few impugn his mo
tives, as the Atlanta paper at
tempts to show. The travelers
'will keep the fight up, the, say.
}lt is the general belief here that
‘the railroad commissiow will rule
against the petition,"to require
;roads to pull mileagé on traias.

New Sunday Law
Newspapers an d Certain
Classes cf Important Mail
Will be Distributed to Lo
cal Boxes.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 26.
Plans were perfected by Postmas
ter-General Hitchecock today
whereby the administration of
the new law prohibiting the de
livery of mail on Sundays will
have no serious effect upon the
handling of important mail mat
tatter. Holders of lock boxes at
first and second-class postoffices
will have access to them as us
ual, although no mail deliveries
will be made by carries on the
street or at postoffice windows.l
Mail for hotel guests and news
papers will be deliverec to them
through their lock boxes by a
simple arrangement by having
that mail sorted on the railway
mail cars before it reaches its
destination. Such mail will be
regarded as ‘‘transit matter’’ and
will be distributed immediately
upon its arrival at the offices of!
destination, thus practically in
suring a speedier delivery to the
addresses than heretofore has
been the case.
This distribution will require
a mininum of Sunday work:
and the distribution of other mail
reczived on Sunday will be made
after midnight of Sunday so that
it may be delivered by the car
riers on their first-tour on Mon
day.
ed after midnight on Sunday, and
therefore the law will not affect
this mail. It will be delivered as
promptly as hitherto. Mail re
ceived up to midnight on Satur
shall have wtitten or printed on
their ballots' the words, ‘“For
amendment to Coustitution autho
rizing temporary loans,” and all
persons opposed to the adoption
of said amendment shall have
written or printed on their ballots
the words, ‘‘Against amendment
to Constitution authorizing tem
porary loana.
Sec. 4. ' Be it further enacted,
That all laws and parts of laws in
conflict with this At be, and the
sgme a: e, hereby repealed,
Now, therefore, I, Joseph M.
Brown, Governor of said State, do

day for lock boxes will be distrib
uted to the boxes and will be
available to box holders on Sun
day as usual.
“There is at present no street
delivery of mail by letter carriers
on Sundays and therefore the
law makes no change in this re-#A
gard. In short the only mail thalw
will be effected under a reason
able construction of the new law
is that received at the postoffices
on Sundays and hitherto sorted
on that day for distribution to
lock boxes.
“‘As the purposes of the law, 4
which was clearly enacted in the
interest of employes, is to reduce
as far as practicable the amount
of Sunday labor the work of dis
tributing Sunday mail to lock¥
buxes will be limited to certain
classes of mail that cannot be
held until Monday morning with
out serious inconvenicnce to the
addressees. :
““This mail will include that for
newspapers and hotel guests.
*‘ln order to give the new pro
vision as liberal a construction as
possible, postmasters will be i_n-*
structed on application, to have §
their employes sort out, in emer
gency cases on Sunday, letters of -
special importanee. This will
supplement the present privilege
of having all mail delivered on
Sunday that carries a special de
livery stamp. : : %
“By the proposed changes in
the method of putting up mail in
the offices of origin and in its
handling on the railway mail
trains it is believed that a satis
factory distribution can be made
on Sundays with far less work
than is now required.”
Minority Leader Mann, of the
house, author of the provision
prohibiting the delivery to the
“general public” of mail on Sun
day, said there was no intent
upon the part of congress so o
restrict the activities of the post
office department as to inconven
ience the business public.
‘“lt is absurd,” he declared,
“for anybody to assume that con
gress meant to close the post
offices as tight as a wedge on
Sunday. We simply required
that there should be no delivery
of mail to the ‘general public’
on Sunday in order that letter ,
carriers and postoffice clerks
might enjoy a reasonable respite
from their labors.”’
Atlanta Predicts
Record-Breaking Season
Atlanta, Aug. 29.—Dog days
have already come to an end in
this section so far as business ac
tivity is concerned. The hurgy
and bustle of opening fall trade
presage a record-breaki g season.
The fact that the country’s im
portant crops, almost without ex
ception, promise heavy yields and
bid fair to command prices that
will give the producers three
quarters of a billion doJlars above
their ordinary receipts, means
general prosperity for all enter
prises.
The doctrine preached with
ardor throughput Dixie of pat- -
ronizing home industries and
keeping money at home, is als%
beginning to bear rich fruits, no
not only in increased prosperity
of wholesale and retail merchants
but in the upbuilding of southern
institutions. In the fire insur
ance business alone, the record
for the past few months has
shown a wonderful develpment
and added strength, all based
on the fact that southern people
are beginning to realize that it is
to their personal interests to pay
their premimms into a southern
company instead ef sending the
premiums north and thus drain-fl
ing their community of just that
mugh cash.
What is true in the fire insur
ance business refleets the general
situation throughout the south as
reported to Atlanta. Southern
people are patronizing southern
enterprises and the whole section
Prospeérs.
