Grand Judy Protests Against TAX
ing Amy Part for New County.
Dublin, Ga, Aug. 5.-The grand jury
of Laurens county has gone on record
as being opposed to the formation of
any new county if any part of Laurens
is desired. In its general presentments
the grand jury said it was understood
that an effort will be made to cut Off
from Laurens county a portion of Car
terand, Oconee districts for the pur-
pose of forming the new county of
James, and a portion of Burch and
LOwery districts to form a new coun-
ty with Alama as the county site,
and it submitted a protest against
such division, insisting that it will not
be to the best interests of the county
for the present boundaries to be
changed in any particular and calling
upon the representatives from Laurens
county in the next Legislature to use
every honorable means at their COM
mand to prevent the formation of any
new county to create, which Laurens
will be disturbed in the least.
On the grand jury were several men
who live in the territory which will be
cut off from Laurens if the scheme to
get new counties in this section is sue
cessful. All of them voted in favor
of the resolution. They said that they
were opposed to the scheme to dis
mem Der Laurens county and create any
new county.

CIGAR CONTEST WAS
A LOTTERY TRIP.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 5.-The Court of
Appeals to-day decided that Ismar S.
Ellison. publisher of the United States
Tobacco Journal, violated the anti-lot-
terry section of the penal code of this
state in publishing in his journal an
advertisement inviting competition in
a contest to determine the amount of
revenue tax paid on certain brands Of
cigars, for cash prizes. The opinion
OF the Court of Appeals is written by
Judge Cullen, who. after setting forth
the fact of the advertisement which
was published by the Florodora Com
pany, says:
doubtless the purpose of the Floro-
dora Company in establishing the sys-
tenn of competition for prizes detailed
in the advertisement was to increase
the sale of it's various brand of cigars.
For that purpose it was justified in
using any innocent or legal means to
attract customers and even the Leg
lslature could not. under the guise of
enacting the police regulation, inter-
fere with its liberty
The prohibition and regulation of
gambling in all forms, and lottery of
every description, are unquestionably
valid exercises of legislative power,
and if the scheme established by the
advertiser was in effect a lottery. the
fact that the dominant purpose was
merely to increase the advertisers
business does not save it frcm con-
demnation."
His conclusion is that the contest was
a lottery

For This Reason United States Gov

Washington, Aug. 5.-Minister Bow
en- has cabled the State Department
that he has lodged strong protest
with President Castro, against the ac-
ton of the government in seizing the
asphalt mines belonging to the New
York and Bermudez Company. The re-
ceiver of the government is said to be
supported by two Venezuelan warships
in his occupation of the company's
property.
1t is doubted whether Mr. Bowen's
protest will be effective at this stage
but the State Department is not dis
posed to move in a hurry, and is await
ing the arrival by mail of the detailed
reports made by Mr.. Bowen before
proceeding further.
1t must be made quite clear that
there has been miscarriage of JUS
tice in the Venezuela Supreme Court
before a demand is made upon Castro
for indemnity for the losses suffered
by the New York and Bermudez AS
phalt Company.
There are several legal points in
volved in the case. and until the de-
partment has been legally advised
whether or not the company has car
ried out all of its obligations under the
concession, little can be done towards
restoring the company's property.
