All Right at "A Club.

1t is all right for intoxicating
liquors to be kept at a club, open to
many persons, so long as that club
is not open to everybody.
1t is also all right, according to
the court, for a man to keep spirit
uous or malt liquors at his home
ande use them for the entertainment
of his guests, so long as he does not
make every man who wants a drink
his guest.
The decision extends the construc-
ton of the prohibition law which was
made some time ago in the Roberts
case, which went up from the city
court of Atlanta, and in which the
question surrounding the sale of
near-beer was settled. 1t is the 500
ond decision to be rendered OF the
law.

BLIGHT ON PINE TREES.
Disease Has Spread From Maine to
New Jersey.

Disease Has Spread From Maine to
New Jersey.
Last year and again this summer
there has been much concern shown
over the mysterious blight which is
affecting the pine trees over an area
between Maine and New Jersey. 1t
is most common on the white pine,
although it is also found on the pitch
pine as we'll
1t is very generally believed to be
far more common than it really ap-
pears, as there are four other pine
tree troubles which may readily be
mistaken for blight by those not
thoroughly acquainted with the true
blight. Single trees in a pine grove
may be affected with it. and the rest
escape unscathed a fact which has
led to the opinion that it is not con-
tagiOus, although that fact has not
yet been proven.
The blight attacks young and old
trees alike, the needless becoming
discolored near the Ups, and seem
ingly the blight works downward to
the stem, causing the needles to turn
red and fall off. If the pine is com
pletely defOliated it dies, as the CO.
nlterOuS trees cannot withstand a
single complete defoliation. while the
deciduous trees will live through two
and three practically complete de-
foliatiOns.
A young man who is a graduate of
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege has been commissioned to study
this blight disease. The young man
in question has a fine college record
in his studies along these lines and
it is hoped by devOting his time
solely to this matter he may be able
by observation and experiments to
determine what the blight really is.

A SIMPLE REMEDY
FOR DYSPEPSIA
Make it up for Yourself from "a
Specialists Formula.

we publish below the formula of
an expert stomach specialist, whose
fee for diagnosis and prescription is
$500.
Anyone is free to use this formula
and make the medicine up for him
self at home 1t is said to be marvel
susly curative in severe cases of in
digestion and dyspepsia, especially
where there is an excess of gas on
the stomach. On the other hand, it is
free from harmful ingredients and
will not injure the most delicate lis
sues. While immediate relief is to be
expected, it is recommended thac the
treatment be continued fer three
weeks in order to guarantee a com,
plete cure.

regulate the movements of the bow

remarkable virtue it would have been
impossible for the originator of it to
have won such a high reputation in
hts profession, for he uses it in nine
tenths of the cases that come before

DAVIS HAS DISAPPEARED.
Mysterious Departure OF Prominent
Contractor From Edison.

Contractor From Edison.
From the Edison News.
Have you seen anything of Calvin
J. Davis, the contractor, who has
only been here a few months? This
is the question that has been on the
lips of many of our citizens for the
past week Like the wind, he has
suddenly vanished and we know not
from whence he came or whittier he
has gone, but his going has made a
number of our citizens sadder but
wiser men.
He came here some time ago as
an architect and builder. He knows
the business thoroughly and has had
all he could do since his arrival
here, and had just closed a contract
to build a costly residence to be built
by Mr. c. S. Sealy. Besides he had
several other big jobs nearly finished,
and what caused him to pull up
stakes and leave so suddenly is what
all would like to know. He left here
Saturday night, going toward At
lanta, and has not been seen or
heard from since, and it is thought
never will, as he carried away about
$3.50 that he had not earned. He
got all the cash advanced to him
that he could get without creating
some suspicion, paying off his hands
with worthless checks and quietly
departing If he does not return an
effort will be made to bring him
back.

$1,000 ELEPHANTS KILLED
Last Year for Their livery. Some
TuSkS Weigh 200 Pounds.

SiXty-fye thousand elephants were
killed in Africa last year and more
than 2 million and a half pounds of
ivory were tahe2 from them and
shipped off to Europe, writes Frank
G. Carpenter. Of this fully one-third
came from Zanzibar, another third
was from Portuguese East and West
Africa and a large psrt of the bal
ance was from the valley of the
Congo.
Cape Colony furnished a hundred
thousand pounds, Egypt 100000
pounds and large part came from
the Niger territories and Lagos.
African ivory brings the highest
prices in the markets. 1t is superior
to any other in the size of the tusks.
have seen some which are nine feet
long and there are some which weigh
as much as 200 pounds each. The
average weight of tusk is much less
than this and one of a hundred
pounds is quite valuable.
In India the average tusk does nor
weigh 80 pounds, but that of the
African elephant is much heavier.
Many of the tusks are broken when
they are brought into the market
The elephants use them for blowing
up roots and tearing down trees and
also Tor lighting their enemies.

rum. but the Maryland man who at
tempted to have treating abolished
by statute succeeded no better in his
aim than the western statesman who
wished to require that a red light
marked Danger" be placed IN front
of every saloon.
Those who rejected the latter plan
of decreasing inebriety probably
went upon the theory that it was
unwise to afford such an easy OPP
portunity to acquire reputation for
bravery. Maryland did, however,
make It unlawful to serve free
lunches in beverage empOriums.
The Virginia legislator who tried
to outlaw kissing several years ago

of the big lawmaking factory in

Nevertheless, the difficulties that be-
set him did not dampen the ardor
Of the man who had a little bill in

In Congress.
First and foremost there was J..
Hampden Moore with his plan for
licensing the laundries and for for
bidding them to use any acids or ma
chinery calculated to injure the deli
cate fabric Of the dress shirt, which
is an object of tender solicitude on
the part of the Pennsylvania.
Representative Charles McGavin
deplOred the numerous international
matches that have led daughters of
American milliOnaires to take their
dollars abroad in exchange for a
title, and he did not stop at deplOr-
ing. He prepared little bill to i'm
pose heavy tax on the dover of all
brides who desert their native land,
but the bill still decOTates a cOnven-
lent pigeon hole at the national cap
itol.
1t is difficult to imagine that any
scheme for the expenditure of mon
ely could be regarded as too eXtrava-
giant for a congress which appropri-
ated more than a billion dollars, but
such a scheme did make it's appear
ance by the grace of Representa-
tive BOurke Cochran, who, however,
was careful to explain that he intro
duced the bill by request.
1t was for the construction of a
magnificent highway, a mile wide,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean, a few miles north of Washing
ton, in a direct line, and for the es-
tablishment of great cities at either
end and of towns all along the line.
1t was to have a trolley line, a path
way for pedestrians and roads for
every conceivable variety of vehicle
except submarine boats, so that moth
ing would get in the way of the
speed maniac or mar the pleasure
of those who wished to travel in
more leisurely fashion
But this road still exists in
Dreamland, the home of many other
projects of freak laws.

Citing Instances.

The decision is expanded at great
length. 1t is held that if a person
uses his home as regular deposito-
ry for wet goods, inviting there all
Of his friends and acquaintance to
enjoy with him the delights of the
cup and allowing the impression that
a drink can always be obtained there,
such makes his home a public place
under the terms of the law.
1t is also set forth that a legiti-
mate club, organized with exclusive
ness where members are not admit
ted indiscriminately, is not a public
place within the sense of the law.
Neither is it termed illegal for in
tOXiCants to be served at a barbecue,
picnic or banquet, given in a public
manner, but from which the general
public is excluded so long as such
entertainment occurs at a place not
otherwise a public place. For in
stance, it could be legal for a per-
son entertaining a friend at his
home, or on an outing and which
large number of persons are invited,
with intOXiCants; but it would not be
legal for such to take place at a
hotel or other place ordinarily open
to the public.

THE WORLDS BIGGEST HATS.
The Merry Widow Isn't in 1t With
Those Worn by COrean Bellies.

The Merry Widow Isn't in 1t With
Those Worn by COrean Bellies.
When it comes right down to
awarding the blue ribbon among the
nations of the world for the most
ultra Merry Widow hat, it will not
go as one might suppose to America,
where the styles in millinery have
been more or less running riot, but
to far-away, much battered and
about almost forgotten Corea
Seems impossible, doesn't it?
when you look about and note the
huge cart-wheel-like affairs that wo-
men are wearing in every city. A
34-inCh hat on a woman, when built
up fiorally, is certainly dazzling, and,
from our American point of view,
about as extreme as it is possible
for them to go.
But out in Corea a hat of this
size is mere nOthing-a baby cap,
as it were, compared to a silk hat
Thirty-fOur inches? Why a baby
COrean, let alone the debutantes
over there, couldn't be induced to
wear such a cunning, little hat.
Six feet in circumference is the
proper thing, and if the hat is de-
signed by a reliable COrean hat ar
chitect it will not only do service as
head covering, but can be used
as a sort of OyercOat, a storage place
for garments at night, a couch to
take informal maps upon, and, on a
pinch, a bathtub-althOugh the aver
age Corean and the bathtub are not
on the friendliest terms, according to
the latest consular reports
If one judged off hand while look
ing at the Corean women he might
say they represented a couple of
some kind of natives en- route to the
forest for a days work with big
baskets on their heads. Not a bit
of it. They are hats, real hats, and
worn because the COreans fancy the
style. They are worn by the we'll
TODD young of all classes and by
middle-aged women of the higher
classes. Fortunately the styles do
not change with every season in CO.
rea and when Corean woman pur-
chases one of these giant Merry
Widows it is good for a great many
seasons.
If it gets to looking a little bat
tered about the edges she hurries
to her regular hattist and has it
painted up bit, or perhaps a few
new strands Of fiber woven in.
Now, while the average Corean is
not so much of a stickler for gar
ments, he has strong theories con-
corning hats. The clothes that some
of the men report for duty in-cOt-
ton shirts and trOusers-wOuld not
bring five cents if pawned in the
kindest pawn brokers' retreat in the
world; but his hat-ah, that is an
other matter The hats the thing
and men and women place themselves
under some of the most original and
ultra ones that exist anywhere.
Corea originated the style, and it
is probable that it will remain right
there. The hat holds the worlds
record, and if any brain ever invents
a bigger or more unique one it will
have to do some amazing stunts in
elasticity.

LAWMAKERS WHO DEVELOP A
MANIA FOR REFORM.

sitiOns in Congress.


sitions in Congress.
The would-be lawmaker who goes
TO legislative chamber with the
idea of converting his native state
into a Utopia does not get much
show in these degenerate days.
There was more of this particular
rvpe of legislator in Oklahoma than
in any other state, for Oklahoma
gave promise of extending to him
the glad hand, patting him on the
back and telling him to go as far
as he liked. But even the baby
state which started out with con-
stitution that provided for regulat-
ing nearly everything except the
planets and the weather, and seemed
eager to complete the job, has not
produced the bumper crop of freak
legislation so fondly expected.
The new state has enacted that
hotels must supply their guests with
bed sheets not less than nine feet
in length, but the idea did not origi-
nate in Oklahoma, for Texas blazed
the way in this far-reaching reform.
Freak Bills in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma legislators descended
upon their capital with a large as
sortment of ideas for the betterment
of the human race equally as
unique, but they took most of them
back home again. 1t was an Okla
homa man who regarded the cigar
store Indian as a SANDER upon the
real redskins among his constituents,
and who wished to Danish it from
its traditional post Of nOnor at to-
bacco shops, but the cigar store In
dian still holds the fort in OklahO-
ma as well as elsewhere, and if the
tribe is diminishing it is for a far
different reason than that he has
enemies in the camp of the law
makers
Another Oklahoma solon wished to
prohibit the use of cracked crockery
on the table, another to make it an
Offense to use a roller towel more
than two days, another to compel
railroads to disinfect their tickets,
another to prohibit passengers on
street cars from crossing legs when
they have mud on their feet and
another to compel househOlders to
beat rugs and carpets outside of the
corporate limits of any town.
There was even one iawmaker who
sought to compel husbands to cook
breakfast on Sunday mornings in or
der that their wives might go to
church, and one who desired that six
successive visits by a young man to
the home Of young lady should be
regarded as evidence of an engage
ment to marry But, alas, OklahO-
ma rejected this Utopia programme
and snugly snOOzing under its nine
loot bed sheets it sleeps on while
there are many sores on the body
polite to be healed
Dealing With the Rum Evil.
Much of the time of lawmaking
b0dies has been taken up this year
with forging letters for the demon
rum, which has doomed up in the
legislative horizon as a monster big
ger and more frightful even than the
corporation octopus. Many laws
have been hurled against the demon

THE PRANK OF \ CONV1 on.
BurgIarizes a House of Clothing and
Leaves His Garb.

Is it possible that Boisy Solomon,
the dangerous convict who escaped
from the convict camp at Triton on
the night of the 9Th, was in Macon
on the afternoon of the Eth and com
mitted a burglary?
From find made in his stable yes
terday morning early Mr.. E. J. Ruhl
is satisfied beyond all doubt that
some convict entered his house, back
of Mercer University, probably the
night before, and robbed it of a pis-
tol, shirt, pants, coat, cap and some
underclothing. Out in the stable
was convict's suit and his own
clothes were missing from the house.
