At $50 this morning the funeral of

The coroner's jury returned a verdict
OF murder in the case of 5. H. Story,
the young man who shot and killed
remains We're buried yesterday from
Taylors Chapel, near the six-mile
crossing. Story has not yet been ar
rested.
Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock
Judge Sparks will reconvene Glynn
City Court and will dispose of some
important cases. The constitutionality
of the St. Simons Island prohibition
law is under fire, and the court will
probably pass upon 1t, in sustaining
or rejecting demurrers filed by coun-
oCi AOI QSlcHQdnlS with Sell
ing whisky on the island.
The state law prohibiting the sale of
intoxicants on st. Simons Island has
often been referred to as unconstitu-
tional, although no direct attack on il
has ever been made, and left for the
Supreme Court to pass upon. The law
was enacted to protect the good peo-
pie of St. Simons Island, who. without
1t, would be left at the mercy of a
disreputable class of negro whisky sell
ers. who. as it is. sometimes evade JUS
tice in selling liquor from blind tigers
in a notorious locality.
Judge Sparks will also hear further
tomorrow from the cases OF D. r.
Ponder and Gilbert Williams. Under
pleas of guilty rendered at last week S
session of court for keeping lewd
houses in THE Acre" these defendants
were fined $3.50 each and given until
tomorrow morning to pay the fines.
This both of them will probably do, as
it is generally understood that both OF
them are worth considerable property
and have made a great deal of money
out of their Acre" resorts.
Sol Gazaway. who has paid two fines
of SITS each during the past week for
running a gambling house and also a
lewd house, has moved from The
Acre" and is conducting plain mar
minus dance house and gambling ad-
ditions. GaZaway, personally, is a
quiet. easygoing citizen and he seldom
appears in court. His personal conduct
has been such as to make him many
friends among the white people, and
these are pleased TO note that he has
moved from his former notorious sur
roundings.

morrow night on a few weeks bust

The advent of the Birmingham and
the local field seems to have stirred
the boys up, a great deal, and there
is a lively hustling for business or
now.
Mr.. Sylvanus Littlefeld, inventor OF
the new steamboat propeller, is max
