JURISDICTION LIMITED.

The announcement of Justice Leroy
King OF precinct ! that he intended erforc-
ing the Sunday law to the letter created
somewhat Of e sensation and tho public
ayowa OF his intention has been freely
discussed by citizens today There are
many who oppose a rigid enforcement of
the Sunday law ans argue that inasmuch
as Justice King has jurisdictions over only
about one fourth of the bushes section
of the city he may work an injustice. The
judge INSISTS, however, that he is without
discretion In tho premises, His duties are
plainly defined by the law and says he
proposes to discharge his duties irrespec-

An Afternoon on the tee Watching the Ex.

ride.
The past few afternoons have been
ones noted for their crowds on the ice.
Some go up merely to enjoy an after
Moons ride over the smooth surface
and others GO to see the racers as they
have their exciting brushes down the
river or up it as the case may be. Still
others who make no pretentions -
having good horses or being good driv-
crs, go to see the fun.
Augusta has many good horses which
are included among the racers. and
also many almost equally good ones
that are not supposed to be more than
mere family horses, yet they often
make the others step along some. In
this latter class can be placed Photo
