ssrgt. Lewis Little Child TumbIss from
Third story Window and is Killed.
A heartrending accident occurred at the
residence Of Sergt. J. Lewis, of the Ocean
Steamship Company police, No. 224
Congress street. near West Broad, about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. A little
child of oerst. Lewis fell from a third
stery window TO the pavement, sustaining
injuries which resulted in its death an
hour afterwards. Mrs. Lewis was en-
gagged ut the time in sewing at
machine. The little fellow got
up on a chair near the window. Some
children were at play in the street below
and in his anxiety to see them he leaned
over the sill. As be did so the chair went
from under his feet, he lost his balance
and went over the sill, falling 20 the pave
ment. The mother did not notice the alb
sence Of her child until she heard the
no So Of the window blinds, caused by the
wind, when she ran 10 the window, but
by that time Policeman Michaels, who
witnessed the child's fall, had picked him
up and was on his way up stairs TO the
gripf-stricken mother. Doctors Chisholm
and Sanders were called in and rendered
all the attention that was possible. but
the little sufferer went into commissions
and died in q short time. The child was
about a year and a half old. and was
named william Jacob. The remains will
probably be taken TO Augusta this morn-

showed many attractive features in the
landsca~e worthy Of the atten ion OF the
landscape gardener. In order to fully
utilize yhe site, however, the committee
decided that additional drainage should
be provided. Mr.. Daley was placed IN
charge q the work few weeks ago, and
has dug n number of lateral bitches
leading into the main drain.
When the desired depth Of a ditch has
been reached the permanency OF the
water course is assured by means Of two
boards, one laid nat on the bottom Of the
ditch. Along on the edges Of this
board number OF half bricks
are placed about six inches apart,
when the seco'd board is placed upon
them, and a quantity Of broken brick and
stone dumped In upon and about the
boards, forming a blind ditch which is
not liable to fill up. These drains
when completed win drain AID the damp
land in the rsVine and Will be the means
of effectively retaining the richest piece
Of ground in the cemetery for flower beds
and plants.
AT one point on the line Of the main
drain a miniature pond with slOping
banks has been formed. A short
distance further down the ar
ti6ciHl stream miniature wa
tertall has been constructed. Leading
across the stream from the hills on the
north and south side Of the rayine a car
riage drive has been opened, and at the
spot whore the stream is crossed Mr..
DAILY has erected a handsome bridge
about II feet long and 10 feet wide. A
number of benches formed OF the trunks
and limbs Of trees have been placed at
intervals on the sides of the "a
vine, from which the visitor NAV
glance into the clear running stream and

and "A number Of Improvements made in
the typographical features Of the place.

ENFORCING THE REvENUE LAWS.

Ihe Government Authorities Deter
mined TO Project the Dry Counties."
The United States authorities have
determined 10 break up the sale OF liquors
in the ''dry counties" by dealers who sell
under a tax IN counties where licenses
are granted and send liquor to customers
IN the prohibition counties c. o. D., or
compel all such dealers to take out a
United States license in all counties in
which they make such sales. For a long
time it has been a mOoted question whether
q person having United States license
10 sell at one place could make sales
to a person residing at some other
point. when the money was collected
on delivery Of the liquor to the purchaser
at the place Of his residence. The QUes-
ton was ai-ed in Kansas in the United
States Courts, and while 1t was pending
Instructions We're sent out from the office
of the Commissioner Of internal Revenue
suspending action in similar cases until
a decision was reached in the Kansas
case,
a decision has recently been rendered.
The court held that j. was a violation of
the internal revenue laws to sell hq1Or,
the purchase money to be collected on
delivery at one place where the dealer is
licensed To sell al another. The sale is
not completed, the court holds, at the
places where the order is given, but is
completed by the payment Of the money
at another place where the dealer has no
license 20 make sale. II the purchase
money is paid at the place where the
sale is made, and the dealer has a license
to sell there, then there is no violation of
the law.
Large quantities Of liquor are now sold
BY dealers in Georgia in. counties where
licenses are granted to parties in "dry
countless" and shipped by express c. o.
revenue laws, and persons making such
sales viii subject themselves to proseou-
ton,
