The Court of General Sessions convened this morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Prince presiding and Solicitor 8toll at his post of duty. Judge Prince delivered a lengthy and forcible charge to the grand Jury, dealing largely with the gene**, affairs of the county?educational financial and official.

At.\er hat been laeop? porated in the new - ?w upon uh1 h \ commission he been work? ing for several months, and the legis? lature will have the opportunity to remedy the defects which Judge Prince criticised. While the grand Jury was at work on the first batch of indictments handed out by the Solicitor, the case of the State vs. Geo. P. McKagen, for selling liquor, which was continued from the last term, was taken up. There was nothing much to this case: H. D. G. Muldrow .special con? stable swore that he bought a pint of whiskey from McKagen on a cer? tain specified date, paying 75 cents therefor, while George P. McKagen, when he went on the stand, swore with equal posltlveness that he did not sell the liquor to Muldrow on the date specified or at any other time. Tho argument for the defense was made before recess by Mr. J. II. Cllfsan. Solicitor Stoll will speak this afternoon. In The Police Court. only two eases came up in the Re? corders e..urt Monday.

II l-lt CHILDREN DRINK PURE WATER, Improved Sanitary Drinking Contain Installed at City Schools. Among the Improvements at the graded school Inaugurated tins ses afon is the establishment of :i drink? ing fountain for the children where the) can drink the pure water from Ills pipe as it bubbles up with no fear of germs that are usually car? ried from child lo child by means of the common dipper, The foutaln is a verj simple ar? rangement, but it probably will mean much in the way (?f preventing the spread of contagious diseases among the children, it consists of ? plain galvanized iron pipe with holes bored in it at convenient distances so that six Children can drink at the same time. The patent sanitary drink? ing fountain which many phy slolans and superintendent! have ad? vised be put in the schools costs con? siderable and has only one spout, only one child being able to drink at I time. The arrangement that Supt. Edmunds has installed on the grad? ed school grounds Is very much on the same order, while at the same time It has six spouts, enabling six children, instead of one child, to drink at the same time. The water bubbles HP through the spout. the child putting its mouth to the spout and matching the water as it bubbles up. A kind of trough is placed just beneath the pipe, which catches the overflow water preventing water from falling on the ground and keep? ing the ground from getting damp and muddy anywhere around the drinking fountain, whereas in the old way of drinking from the buckets the chi'dren always threw the water left In the dipper on the ground and the earth around the buckets was generally kopt in an unsanitary con? dition. At present there is only one of the foutains on the square but several others will be put there In the near future. High School Battalion, 1910-11, W. M. Scott, Com'd't. Company A.

Fire on liberty Street. Friday afternoon about 6 o'clock the reel wagons were called out by a slight blaze in a building on the corner of Liberty and Green streets occupied by G. B. Dobson, a brick? layer of this city. The fire caught in the kitchen celling from a defective flue and It looked for a few min? utes as if the whole buildirjg would catch and be destroyed before the Are wagons got to the scene of ac? tion. The rain, which was pouring at the time, helped to keep the fire from spreading and the water from the hose when turned on quenched the fire. Very little damage was done to the building, the celling and shingles be? ing badly scorched and a little burned. None of the furniture was damaged. The house, which be? longed to Mrs. Nash, is one of the oldest ones In the city, it being part of the old Norton property. A HOME OF PALMS AND FLOWERS Peruna Only i Medicine that ?
