AMERICUS, Ga, Sept. 11.--While a
hundred guyed him Judge James Nix
on of the city court of Americus and
former state senator, ate broiled crow
because Clark Howell was defeated for
governor by Hoke Smith. Nixon was
an ardent Howell man and was so sure
his favorite would win that he agreed
to eat broiled crow If Hoke Smith won.
Howell lost, and Judge Nixon paid his
bet.
The fact that he would eat crow was
extensivelya advertised, and Judge
Paschal, with whom Nixon bet, gave
barbecue dinner to which hundreds
were invited. The bird was shot and
prepared in the most tempting style
possible. The broiled crow was placed
In the center of long board surround
ed by lamb, shoat and beef. Nixon ate
the crow while the crowd watched. He
managed to worry down the dish to the
last morsel, but he had no appetite for
anything else.

LICENSE RULE
IS ADHERED TO
POLICE COMMISSION DENIES
AN APPLICATION
Attempt to Establish Liquor Store
Within 500 Feet Of a School
House Is Officially
Checkmate

The application of Eugene Arnett for
wholesale liquor license at 1914 San
Pedro street was denied by the police
commission because it was but 44O feet
from a. school house, while the ruling
of the police commission provides that
liquor may not be sold within 500 feet
of a school,
In this way the first application for a
wholesale liquor license that has been
made since the council passed an or
dinance requiring two-thirds frontage
was disposed of. This application came
before the commission at its meeting a
week ago.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-12
Arouses Vigorous Protest

Mr. Arnett had secured the consent Of
tMo-thirds of the frontage in the block
in which he proposed to establish his
place, but vigorous protest from
property owners in the neighborhood
was made. The commission was under
the impression that as the applicant had
complied with the terms of the or
dinance it was mandatory on the board
to grant his license.
In order to learn if this was the case
the commission held the question open
for one week and referred it to the city
attorney. The city attorney did not
give an opinion last evening.
Few Applications Made
The new ordnance has had a very
noticeable effect OH the number of
liquor licenses asked of the commission.
The application made by Mr.. Arnett is
the only wholesale license or transfer
of location that has been asked for
since the ordinance was passed.
Before the passage of the ordinance
the granting of licenses was left to the
discretion of the commission and there
was scarcely a session when from
six to ten applications were not
acted on.

Constipation and 1t:
 Causes.
A weli-Known Remedy.

Constipation Is one of mans worst enemies, and half the bodily ills we suffer from are a result thereof. Ma ture meant that the bowels should be kept free and open-that we should have a free movement at least once day. Of course, we ourselves are to a large extent responsible for our trou- bles by failure to observe Natures laws. Our habits are irregular, and we eat improper food with undue haste
 and when we find our bowels do not move. have resort to powerful drugs and medicines, which are so drastic in their action that, although they may purge at first. they damage the ten der lining of the stomach and bowels so far as to leave a worse condition than before. And why take such inJu- rious and expensive drugs when we can obtain from any druggist, much cheaper, a bottle of Natures own rem edy-the famous Mineral Laxative Water-HUNYADI JANOS-bottled at the springs in Hungary; in use nearly half century, C1e dose, one-half tumblerful, drunk on arising in the morning, (slightly warmed for best results), will bring within an hour, refreshing movement-gentle, natural
 and horough--without any gripping or purging or other bad efefcts. A whole bottle costs but trifle Keep one always on hand. At all Druggists.

NEGRO CONVICTED UNDER OLD
 LAW FOR SENDING A CHALLENGE

The day of chivalry and chivalric ob- servance is past. No longer is the duel recognized as the final resort in affairs of heart or of honor. Time was. in the memory of some of the old inhab- itants of today when two men, having a difference between them, could go out into the fields and marking off twenty paces, there settle their dispute, but that halcyon era has sped. In its stead has come an age of degenerate matter of-factness which has destroyed the nobler emotions that used to sway the passions of our forefathers.
 Duelling is dead. The shades os Hamilton and Burr yesterday, if thov took cognizance of the proceedings in the criminal division of the City Court. must have shuddered. The death knell of the old and time-honored custom was sounded there when one man was found guilty by twelve of his peers for sending to another a challenge to meet him in the secluded spot in the clear ing in the woods" As evidence, the original letter was offered. The de- fendant admitted his guilt under the law
 Not for years has there been pris- oner In the Montgomery courts charged with duelling until yesterday. The practice once so much the vogue has gone out of fashion. Men no longer think 1t worth while to stand up and look into the muzzle of pistol to vim dicate their honor Thus, when case appeared before Judge William H.

Thomas yesterday, there was great sur- prise and interest exhibited by those in the court room.
 Spencer Webb. negro. was the ds- fendant. He was charged with attempt to cause duel fingered at an indie- nity put upon him by a supposed friend, Jiles Johnson. his heart had ffamed with indignation, and he had sent his challenge But no answering senti- ment burned in tho heart of the willy Jiles. His was the right to choose the weapons, according to the laws of the code. Webb suggested firearms or ste ,i bars, but announced that he was will ing to accept any other suggestion his invoked adversary might prefer Ir- stead of accepting the warm invitation to drink his. enemy's blood, however. Jiles appealed to the law. Webb was called to account for his hostile decIa- ration in court, and his sn.lt was fast ened upon him. The punishment for duelling is penitentiary Imprisonment.
 Following Is the letter which was sent to Jiles:
 "Ji1es Johnson-You Served me sx Dirty as you could have done, So I am ready this morning for A Settlement. You can oblige to meet me on any Spot of Ground and we Two will Settle with fire arms, Steel Clubs or anyway ard with anything. don't fail to Say where you are willing to meet me at, for you acted as a Dirty cowart to Slip upon a man in the dary Being halfe asleep.
