Daugherty Gives Advice.
Attorney General Daugherty recent
v gave some suggestions for citizen
ship, which he said were for “all who
may read, regardless of their station-in
life.” They are:
“If a man does the right thing he
will have the help and approval of
those who know him. and if he does
not do the right thiog he does not de
serve it.
“The world never turns against a
man until after he has turned against
the world, and it is never too late to
wake up.
“A man owes society, his country
and the world more than it owes him
aod. more than he can ever pay,
“If one has self-respect he will not go
-at* wrong.
“If one respects others he will do
them no injury either in person or
property.
••In this country one man has the
same freedom and the same rights as
another.
“Every man owes the same degree of
loyalty to his country and the same ob
ligation to society.”

Charged With Murder
of Over 50 Years Ago
Tuscaloosa, Ala.—The State of Geor
gia, through Solicitor General Taylor,
of Rome, began a light today to extra
dite George Nichols. 7l> veal's of age.
who is alleged to be Hiram Casev Net
tles, wanted for killing Peter Mooney
in Rome. Ga., more than f>l years ago.
Nichols, through Jiis attorney, denied
that he is Nettle's, while the prosecu
tion stated that it would produce wit
nesses from Georgia to prove that
Nichols and -Nettles were the saute
person.
In support of his statement that he
had never gone under any other name,
Nichols prod teed what purported to be
his first marriage certificate, showing
that he was married as Nichols to Miss
Margaret Williams in Florida in 1875.
She died 28 years ago, and in 1!)02 he
was marr ied to Miss Irma Harding at
Birmingham. The records show he
maintained his name was then Nichols.
A1 vord. however, said he was prepared
to show that the name Nichols was as
sumed after the Rome killing.
His Chariot.
The Forties mv chariot,
I shall nos rant.
It maketh me lie down in wet places,
It destroyeth my soul.
It leadei.it me into the deep waters,
It guideth me in the path of ridicule
for the name's sake,
It preparetb a breakdown for me io
the presence of mine enemies.
T will feel more evil when it’s with
me:
Its rod and its shafts discomfort me,
It anoioteth my head with oil*
Its wafer boileth over.
Surely to goodness if Lizzie follows
me all the days of mv life. I shall dwell
ia the house of the nuts forever.— Kx.
