Ducks Unusually Plentiful.

Duck shooting is just now the prin-
cipal topic of conversation among those
of hunting proclivities, and all declare
the sport was never better than it iB at
the present time. The disappearance of
the snow and ice and the rain OF the last
few days has not only filed the rivers
and small lakes, but also the ponds and
slOughs and lOwlands. The result is
there are large numbers of wild ducks,
and they are SO strong of wing ss to
make the sport exciting and pleasurable
in the extreme.

The man who has been passing the
forged checks using the names of IL. f,
Buck and D. G. Soice is hardly profiting
sufficiently for the desperate chances he
is stalking. While he has passed numerous
checks the entire profit to him will not
exceeds $500. Moreover, 1t appears that
he is using this about all for travelling
expences, as the checks come in from
Pittsburgh, Pa. Boston, Chicago,
Kalamazoo Mich. and other places

This sanitary organization will be based

BARS of PRIVATE CLUBS.
Richmond County Grand Jury Brings
i'm Indictments.


i'm Indictments.
Augusta, Ga, May 1.-THE grand Jury
now in session made a batch of special
presentments to-day that will create some
thing of a sensation tomorrow when their
publication makes the fact known to the
community.
The indictments are against the manag-
ers of all the social clubs in Augusta that
have a bar. from the Commercial Club
and the Elks, embracing in their member
ship the best known and most prominent
citizens of Augusta, down TO the humblest
negro organization. The charge is keep
ing open a tipping house on Sunday
IL is a well known fact that these clubs
in all the cities of the state claim the
right to sell drinks to their members on
Sunday, and their bars are run Just the
same on Sunday as any other day In
the week.
AS e the law In the case, lawyers diff
fer, as they do on all other cases, and il
is the purpose of the grand jury to have
the question carried to the Supreme Court
and finally determined for this state.
1t is a question that has been much in
dispute, and many citizens in every COM
munity where these clubs exist are con-
stantly charging that they are violating
the law, but go unmolested because of
the prominence of their members.
1t Is the purpose of this grand jury to
set the matter at rest one way or the
other.
II 1t be decided by the Supreme Court
that these clubs have the right they claim
TO furnish drinks to their members on
Sunday. then there viii be no further
ground for criticism. On the contrary, If
law, then of course clubs of leading citi-
zens will not carry on an Illegal practice.
1t is understood that the grand jury also
intends TO press to a Supreme Court decis-
ion the question whether or not these
clubs are required TO take out a liquor
license to legalize their bars.
1t is stated that the controller general
has ruled that a license is not required.
and the tax collector has never collected
the liquor tax, though these clubs carry
on regular bar for the use of their own
members
The grand jury will instruct the tax col
lector to issue fl. ia. against these clubs
for the amount of their unpaid license and
thus bring the issue into court.
The clubs claim that they have violated
no law and are in the line Of their legal
rights.
The grand jury has been advised differ
entity by legal authorities consulted, and VIII
fest the question in the Superior and SUI
preme Courts. IL will be a matter in which
large number of citizens are interested
