JIM BRADLEY SPIRITED James Bradley ,of the Seaboard, commonly called plain "Jim," is not ?nly one of the finest young: men of the city, not only one of the most faithful employees of his company, hut more than this he is a society man for sure. We saj this /because Jim sometimes usits on Greenville Street. And not omly.is he all that we have said he is, but he is something more. At least <we are told so, and Son Bill told us. He says that Jim ran down week faster than he (Bill) ev?r did run on his bicycle, faster than Dutch Link am run an automobile, when Lieut. Crawford says Dutch is speeding, and a little faster than the wind, fin Mw Jim rvnp nicht last week as Job turned the corner to go throng1}] / the Stark's yard. Bill says that Mr. Stark bad left his car in front of % door and that it being in Jim's way, be promptly went over it with mm bound, planting one foot in tinBt of Mrs. Rosenberg's and turn ing the corner into Wardlaw street with the other. Bill thinks that Jim I y. tu it on Ichabod Crane when it ?oaws to covering ground. AH of this came out of the fact i ? th* Jim is a sport as already stated. i He goes with the pretty gixj|p about . tarn a good deal, but it is only when goes up on Greenville Street that Jim wears a standing collar and bis mm foar-in-hand. At other times ! dresses only "every-d*yrways." WeOjm the night referred to Jim v , a date" on Greenville Street, as they say in Calhoun Falls, and fen had bought a sky-scraper in the . way of a collar, and a new four-in ItoJ which had the proper colors mmi the proper cut He expected to auke a hit if not a irate run when V be pat in his appearance all drees wi tap. Jim commenced to dress early. He forked hard at the job mad made good progress until he grot / to Chat standing collar. He button ?i it behind, and the left side final r r if. r~ 17 yielded, ibut Jim tugged, and Wiv then he pulled, and then he got hot, J" ad then he pulled again to get that light side around to live proper K. flaee. At first he was in front of the ' anrror, and then he out on the front pocrch, and then on the back porch, k -t \ . r<> *.*. i. X C WANTED TO RENT?A six or sev W? ' 'VI t ' es room house in town.

In Peonage Inquiry Covington, Ga., May 29.?Clyde 1 Manning, negro farm boss for John 1 S/Williams, will enter a plea of not guilty when his trial for murder of ' one of the 11 negroes*killed on or near the Williams' farm, begins here tomorrow, according to his I attorney, E. Marvin Underwood. 1 The negroes were killed to hide 1 alleged peonage conditions after a : federal investigation <was started 1 last February, according to state ments of the prosecution in the trial of Williams, who was convicted 1 here recently and sentenced to life imprisonment. ^ * Manning, chief witness for the state against Williams, told the jui?y he took part in killing all . I three of the negroes who are al 1 leged to have " been {brought into this cotiftty and drowned, but asserted he did so under fear of death if he dis-1 obeyed his employer. He would go free under Georgia law if he could ; prove to the satisfaction of the jury at his own trial that he was compell- I ed to commit the crimes. i Mr. Underwood, employed to rep resent the negro by a group of At- ] lantans interested in promoting 1 better feeling (between the races, i has obtained orders from federal au 1 i A- J-l- ~ OUrJo , tnoriuies W Tjmig LU WIV brioi yi;us J iFreeman and several other ne groes' formerly employed by Wil liam# who are held as material wit messes in the peonage charges. They are to be used by the defense in its efforts to prove that Manning was in mortal fear of W til lams. Mr. Un derwood has been quoted as saying additional evidence to that at the Williams trial will be produced. > ' A WORD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Eakin, and members of their family, take this means of thanking their friends for their kind attentions on the arrival and re.burial of the body of their Private Edgar Eakin. at one time leaning out of the win dow, and at another time1 sitting on a trunk, and not yet would ft but ton. Finally in utter exhaustion he sat down to rest, and then gave it another try when all at once it slip ped over the%button. Hastily glanc ing over his watch Jim saw that time was fast closing in on him, so be threw on his coat, seized- his walking cane and dashed out the front door, and walked very fast un til he hit Greenville Street. Reach ing there he slackened has gait, v:_ 1J l .1, +? wixew ilia iiiumucia ucgcw& vv j walk with his gold headed cane, set j his new straw hat on straight and act ed as much like a Greenville street < man as possible walking with great , dignity. Reaching the steps which j lead into the front yard Jim thought that to make sure everything was , right, so he brushed , the lapels of j his coat, he took his hat off and , smoothed his hair, and then he j thought to straighten the new four- ( in-hand, when alas! he remembered he had left it in the top bureau drawer. Jim forgot the Greenville Street dignity, took up the pace of a fox hound, and made a drive for home. It was just then that Son Bill, < coming in from delivering the Press j and Banner saw, or rather heard ( him pass, as he was hurrying home j for the neck piece, hoping still to be ^ able to return on time to cause no ^ misgivings on the part of the pretty young lady who awaited him, cravat 1 amd all, in the parlor. ... ?

GARY AND SCHWAB ON TRADE AFFAIRS Minority of Business Men and Work ers Must Learn Principles of Decency Says Gary? Stress Economy New York, May 28?Full return to satisfactory business conditions will be slow until the minority 9f business men and workmen who have ignored the principles of common honesty are aroused to the neecssity of sound and decent standard:?" of conduct, according to Elbenfr H. Gary chairman of the United States Cor. poration. I Speaking today before the Ameri-^ can Iron and Steel institute. Mr Gary i who is president said the American j people are not buying enough toj supply themselves fully Wth the ordinary comforts of life, athoughj they have the disposition and the! means to do so. This he expairied, wasjj due to the opinion of the purchasing ! pubic that there has not been com-jj plete and proper readjustments of ,] prices. "There is an abundance of new, business he said, "with both ability1 j and inclination to place it, waitjng'l for further adjustments which will j i put costs of living, selling prices, J tvage rates and other general incomes || 5n a rfelative parity. ! "Patience, courage and a fair dis-^j position will bring satisfactory con- j Jitions in due time." Present ateel selling, price, Mr. 3ary declared, will not permit any reduction until wages are further de ceased. It would be unjust he said, to further reduce wages before the :osts of living are lowered. Retail prices for many commedi :ies are much too high, declared Mr. 3ary, adding that without justifica tion workmen's wages have been ad vanced through reclassification so asi ;o designate them as skilled men. The speaker asserted that one of ;he most hopeful signs of the times ?ras the apparent disposition of the present administration at Washing ton to aid rather than obstruct the natural and legitimate progress of susiness. Economy is the keynote, of quick recovery of business, said Chas. M. Schwab, chairman of the board of the Bethlehem Steel company. There must be economy in labor and above all else in transportation :osts, Mr. Schwab declared, adding that the steel business would profit by the economy to which it was forc ed by business conditions. "We are going to be forced to economize so as to put our business here on a basis with that of the wteel business in other countries" he con tinued. Expressing belief that the money shortage and business depression would end and there would be a re turn to normalcy, Mr. Schwab said: "This is a time for encouragement i time to be hopeful, a time to be op timistic and we will all come out all right. I have never lost faith in the future of the industry or the future >f America." 1,101 BLIND PEOPLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Atlanta, Ga., May 28.?In the State of South Carolina live 1101 of ;he 57,272 blind people of the United States, according to figures giverl out The w 81 jy the Southern Headquarters of the Committee for Lighthouses for the slind here recently.
