London Opinion Out of II Cues Callod Yeitardiy 14 Woro Passed Thraa of Caaaa Heard Wara Ordered Nol Proaaed It seems that the negroes of Bibb county would rather bank on the clem- ency -of Judge Hodgea than place them- eel rea la the hands of the jurors in the lty court When the criminal docket In that court waa called yesterday morning fourteen cases were passed by the defendants to March 1C

Janitor of the Nevarro flats and to wreck vengeance on him arerinw walked off with a pair of gloves A VICIOUS ACTOR Heywood Woolfolk look Ilka vary desprit character Quite the re vane Heywood looks as mild and meek aa a sick tabby cat and aa free from vlo lence as a fishing a fishing worm of the unturned vsrlety But taking him by and large Heywood is about the moet turbulent and furious bit of jet-black humanity that haa walked theee streets in a bunch of moons That is ha Is if ona may rely upon what ba says about It himself Bo far be has not started graveyard of his own but In bis mlnd'i eye he haa ona staked out and ha already prepared a list of victims to go in it Hs will not however' engage in the holocaust business for a few days sixty days to be exact aa yeeterday morning Judge Daly supplied him with a ticket good for a sixty-days' stop-over to the stockade Heywood had Just completed a visit of forty days to this sylvan retreat whither ha had been sent for threatening to skin a negro barber alive which threat shows that Heywood has a pretty fair idea of poetic Justice even if there era a few loose thumb sc and wrong font nuts and other things out of whack in his cupalo He drew his sixty days Tuesday morning on charges of being drunk and disorderly conduct It would appear that when he returned to the city Monday after his forty days of enforced retirement from society he was a bit dry and petulant and fretful -and dry and sort o' testy and dry Anyway hs was dry and it' was dryness that pond-water had no effect upon What he really needed In his business waa gin And a whole heap of It And notwithstanding nevertheless although and but he got It too Gin of great potency and strength gin that causeth the wayfarer to walk sideways and think backwards and which maketh the sidewalk to move out from under him when he least pecteth it and fly up and soak him in the eye After getting the dust out of his throat Heywood gathered a crowd of admirers together in a coon vodka Joint down on Fourth street and Informed them that he had hired out aa advance agent for an earthquake and that soon as hs felt well enough he intended to put a crimp about the size of the Suez canal in the white population He to slay a dozen or so white men before supper he announced just to get his band In and ha hoped by Tuesday to be able to open an office where he would serve catastrophes and cataclysms on the half-shell And Just about that time Officer Segars dropped in And shortly thereafter Heywood dropped out He alighted with a musical kerplunk right in the Brunette Maria and waa conveyed in state to the don Jon keep He was taxed $1075 for being drunk and $20 for conversing through his chapeau aa it wara AN ACCOMMODATING JEHU Sam Towsle a negro hackman is about the most accommodating Jehu the police department haa dealt with in sometime Lota of hackmen go 'way off somewhere and hide when they want to snatch forty winks or so in their hacks drive up 'a dark alley for instance and put the sleuths to no end of trouble to round them up But Sam's different He feels for the overworked thief takers and hasn't the heart to make them walk all over town looking him up whenever be wishes to shake off the cares and frets of the troublous old woraday world and hold a little seance with the sandman Yesterday morning he had business with Chief of Police Chapman so he drove around to the city hall to see that official The chief was occupied with other matters at the time and Sam had to wait While waiting It occurred to him that he'd been up pretty 'middling' late the night before and that take a small nap In his hack while he had nothing else to de And ba did- 6am is rather stout gpd when bd goeg tq sleep he means it When he drops off Into slumberiand he bits bottom and grappling hooks are required to yank him up to the surface again Yesterday morning shortly after Sam curled up in his hack and Informed Mister Morpheus to cut" -the cards and go as far aa he liked Detective Jenkins came along and noticed the driverless vehicle It was trembling and rocking from side to aide in a strange sort of fashion and from the inside came a sound strongly resembling the noise made by a cyclone when It la putting on Its things and- tuning up preparatory to going out and yanking a county up by the roots The detective waa puzzled He listened This was nothing out of the ordinary though aa one hze to llaten if he'a In the neighborhood of Sam when aaleep and the going la anything good Now it appeared that the hack contained a sawmill that made' a specialty of sawing knots and tkat it was a couple of days behind with Its orders and trying to catch up Windows In the Immediate vicinity were thrown up and people looked anxiously at the clouds fearing that a tamado was slipping up on them unawares Officer Jenkins moved cautiously over and peeked In the hack The mystery waa explained The reserves were called out and Sam awakened Later he explained to Judge Daly that he didn't moan any harm He waa just taking a little cat nap be said while waiting for the chief Sam looked so Innocent and so good-natured and chuckleheaded that the magistrate allowed him to go advising him however that when next chains do bind him to go out In the country somewhere where he can sleep without causing the city hall to totter on Its foundations Bam said yasalr he would and grinned delightedly as he went out to keep hie appointment with the chief A Permanent Chronic Although have not tried may dispute It who It yet thousands of others who weak from personal experience assert that there Is a permanent cure for chronic constipation Some testify they were cured for as little as fifty cents years ago and that the trouble never came back on them while others admit they took several bottles before a steady cure was brought about The remedy referred to la Dr Cald- well's Byrup Pepsin It has been on the market for over a quarter of a century and haa been popularised on its merits by one person telling another The fact that Its strongest supporters are woman and elderly people the ones most per- sistently constipated makes It certain that the claims regarding it as a permanent cure for constipation have not been exaggerated It la not violent like cathartic pills i-" "VI i 1 4 i Ip 'V 04-- Mr Davis and the Old Band Stand Said a Macon lady:
