is also charged with highway robbery
and admits his guilt on this charge.
While nothing has yet been heard

nigan that the prisoner is the right
man that he has had a warrant issued
from Justice Naughtin's court, charg-
ing Cox with murder. The officer who
arrested Cox for robbing a countryman
OF S25, at the point of a pistol, says
that he is absolutely certain that his
man is wanted in the South Carolina
city for murder.
While Cox denies all knowledge of
the crime charged against him, he APP
pears nervous. He admits that he was
in Columbia about two years ago, but
claims not to be able to- even recall

that his relatives reside in Columbia
and that he is well known there under
the name which he furnished the DO
lice in this city. He says that it is
true that he Travelled for some time
with Sells Bros. circus, but denies that
he got position with the show in or
der to get away from Columbia, and
escape arrest. Cox does not DENY
the highway robbery charge, but SAYS
that others took part in the hold-up
OF the man from the rural district.

fought flames at an early hour yester-

The fire started in the restaurant

communicated to the blacksmith shop

second floor, used for dancing purposes,
and for holding East Side political
meetings, was also damaged by the
fire, but not to any great extent.
The proprietor of the restaurant was
the greatest sufferer and the total dam

convicted wife murderer, received a
sentence of life Imprisonment yester-
day Ashby remained seated while
Judge Borrow read the formal sentence
and held his head as he did during the

He displayed no emotion. He was fol-

TOOK OUT THE LICENSE.
Defendant Before Com missioner
Promised to Do BETTER I'm Future.

Promised to DO Better In Future.
A hearing in the case of o. C. Tur-
ner. merchant of Parish in Bulloch
county, charged with engaging in the
business of a retail liquor dealer with
out paying the special tax required
bv law. was had before United States
Commissioner Ryals yesterday. On
the promise of the defendant that he
would take out the license for the
sale of malt liquors and at the instance
of Assistant District Attorney Alexan-
der Alderman, the prosecution was dis
missed.
Deputy Revenue Collectors Theo
Basch and A. w. Wimberly testified
in behalf of the government that the
defendant was selling beer at his
store at Parish, and that when re-
quest had been made upon him to pay
the special tax he had refused COM
pllance with much force and earnest
ness and some profanity. The deputy
collectors swore that Turner had in his
place all the paraphanalia of a we'll
equipped beer saloon and that numer-
Gus filled and untitled bottles adorned
the walls.
that any actual sale of liquor or beer
had taken place, and the defendant
stated that all he had in stock had
been ordered by his friends who had
consume it as they pleased, and that
he had never sold a single bottle.
AT this stage of the investigation Mr..
Alderman suggested that the prosecu-
ton be dismissed on the agreement of
the defendant to take out the license
and pay the special tax, and to this
suggested course of action Turner gave
a hearty prompt and ready assent He
filled out the application and paid the
tax without further delay and the pros
ecution was then dismissed
The defendant is a well known young
man in the section of Bulloch county
IN which he lives. He explained to the
commissioner that the threatening and
disrespectful attitude that had char
acterized his conduct towards Deputy
Collector Basch was due to the fact
that he had been too drunk on this oc-
caslon to realize what he was doing

FOR PAVING SIDEWALKS.
Modifying section Added 20 the
watson Ordinance.

A meeting of the Committee on
Streets and Lanes of the City Council
was held yesterday. and the sidewalk
ordinance introduced some weeks ago
by Alderman Watson, chairman of the
committee, was discussed at length.
The ordinance enumerated certain
streets in the remote southern and
southeastern sections of the city for
sidewalk improvements, the property
owners being required to defray the
cost.
After it was brought up in the Com
m!ttee of the Whole some time ago,
when property owners appeared to
speak against it, the sidewalk ordi-
nance was referred to the Streets and
Lanes Committee. 1t was reported
some time ago that a sort of blanket
ordinance would be substituted for AL
derman Watson's ordinance. naming a
wide section wherein the streets should
receive sidewalks, which might be laid
from time to time, in the discretion of
the Streets and Lanes Committee. This
is not to be the case. for it was deter
mined by the committee to report the
Watson ordinance favorably, adding a
section providing for the introduction
and passage of a resolution in Council
t'iCA W. eiiN paw iii5 VI tdiNb Slleel lldL
is named.
The objections of those who ap-
peared before the Committee of the
Whole against the sidewalk ordinance
will be sustained by this added section,
as resolutions for paving the sidewalks
will only be introduced from time to
time and the work will be done first
on those streets that are regarded as
In greatest need of the Improvement.
1t is said that the streets now consid-
cred least in need of sidewalks will not
nave them laid. under the ordinance,
until such time as there will be no rea-
son left property owners for objec-
tons.
1t is probable that the ordinance will
be put on its second reading at the
meeting of Council tonight The In
o'cat'ons. too, are that it will be put
through. as the added section seems
to give assurance that objections of
property owners will be sustained

past four years. They have large in
