ALBANY, GA, Jan. 13.-This afternoon
George H. Thomas, butcher, sent his son
with the wagon to lock up his stock pen.
On the way the lad took four other boys in
the wagon with him. Arriving there they
proceeded to amuse themselves by driving
repeatedly through pond on the lot They
drove in too deep part of the pond, and
the wagon went under, throwing out the
boys. One of them chung to the horses
neck, but in his frantic efforts to release
himself from the wagon, he shook the boy
off and stamped him. Two women saw the
drowning boy and screamed for assistance.
-FOUR BOYS DROWNED.

CHARLESTON CHAT.
The Fight against Business Licenses
Sunday Liquor Selling.

Inc F1gnt against BUSINESS Licenses
Sunday Liquor Selling.
CHARLESTON. S. c., Jan. 13.-The anti
license movement materialized last night in
a meeting of the opponents of business
licenses The meeting was secret and moth
ing has transpired about its proceedings ex-
cept that arrangements were made for a
public meeting on Monday. The leaders
claim that over 800 business men have
pledged themselves to pay 10 per cent. of
their license tax to fight the city, but, on the
other hand, it is probable that these are
mostly persons who pay very small
license tax. 1t is also said that they
pledged themselves not to employ a Charles
ton lawyer to fight the case. Further de
velOpments are expected Monday night.
The movement against the Sunday cock
tail crystallized here to-day with a mass
meeting of ladies, which adopted resolutions
to petition the police authorities to enforce
the Sunday law against the saloons. The
saloon keepers say they will not close unless
the law is enforced against all other bust
ness
There seems to be a hitch in the Southern
League. Nashville has withdrawn in con
sequence of the decision of the Tenness- 3
Supreme Court against Sunday games.
This will probably result in the formation
of a six club league.
