From Newton to TT. Gaines. Con-
tract for CrOssties Let.
A Newton dispatch says the work
of construction will begin in the
course of the next two weeks on the
Georgia, Alabama and Western rail-
road, which will run from Moultrie
to Camilla, Newton, Milford, Airing
ton, Elmodel, Bluffton and Fort
Gaines.
1t is said that contracts for
crossties for the road have been
let and tentative orders placed
for rails and equipment. Survey
ors have just completed the sur
vey from end to end of the line,
: I'D found no obstacles to carrying
ont the project according to the orlgl-
J al plans The Kaufman-Shaw Con-
struction Company is promoting the
line. The road will parallel the
right-of-way of the old Camilla and
Newton road, which was graded years
ago a distance of ten miles.
Newton has been wanting a rail-
road for many years, and many pro-
jects which appeared promising have
fallen through after a road seemed
assured. This line will also give Ell
model and Button their first roads.
Camilla will receive its second, as
will Fort Gaines. Moultrie and Ar
lingtOn will get their third lines.

Mrs. F. M. McNulty was the hostess
Wednesday Afternoon at a meeting
of the Idle Hour Club. The parlors
we're tastefully decorated in red.
Hearts of all sizes were hung every
where, and gave the rooms a very
bright and festive appearance. Vases
of flowers stood on mantels and la
bles and handsome pot plants formed
the background. The score cards
were hearts tied with red ribbons.
Domino whist was the game played.
Mrs. John Wilkes drew the club
prize, an elegant pair of tandem
broidered towels, and Mrs. Pat Perry
the guests prize, lovely kimona.
A delicious salad course was served.
Mrs McNulty's charming and hos
pitable manner make her an ideal

Crowds and No Enthusiasm.
Candidate Roddenbery spent all
of last week campaigning in Ran
dolph county, and the Cuthbert Lib
eral-Enterprise says he had small au-
diences devoid of enthusiasm. Says
the Cuthbert paper:
Judge S. A. Roddenbery of
Thomasville spent good portion of
this week in Randolph county, going
from district to district and speak
ing in the school houses, wherever
the people would permit him, to very
small crowds. The temperature of
the weather, which was very low,
was a fair sample of the temperature
of the people for Roddenbery. 1t
looks like the cold reception he re-
ceived, and the .Smallness of the
crowds he draws, ought to convince
him that his campaign is about
"froze out" in Randolph. The people
feel that they are able and cOmpe-
tent to decide for themselves how
they should vote, and do not need
any advice upon this subject or
want their business disturbed with
candidates. Besides, they think it
unfair to Griggs to go over the dis
trict making Brutus stabs at his
record when he is not present to de-
fend himself. Griggs is at his post
of duty in WashingtOn-look1ng al
ter the interests of the people-at-
tending to his official duties. We be.
lieve the good thinking people or
Randolph county and the entire Sec
ond congressional district will, at
the ballot box, rebuke Roddenbery
"below the belt" methods of trying
to get votes.

and amassed considerable property.
He was regarded as one of the
wealthy citizens of this section of
Georgia.
Mr.. Gay is survived by several
children-Mrs. L. E. Gay, Mrs. E..

of Mr.. j. r. Mercer.

The diamonds that were stolen
from Mrs. ]. R. Mercer ten days ago
are still missing, nothing having been
learned of them or the thief.
The diamonds were stones from a
large brooch that cost $3.50 several
years ago, and are easily worth 81

The robbery was mysterious one
and it is not known when or now
it occurred.

The liquor 1t has never came.
With an intense longing for the
mice of the forbidden grain, and with
an accumulated thirst which proba-
blv caused them to throw all caution
to the winds, seven Dawson1ans con-
fidingly handed seven silver dollars
to a stranger who had casually re-
marked that he intended paying a
visit to the Alabama oasis and would
return TO Dawson on the following
night.
The stranger was on a prominent
street corner when the talk turned
to prohibition and the many diff
culties which a gentleman had to I'M
dergo to secure his mornings morn
ing since the dispensary had ceased
ia omen it's door with the rising sun
and the popular commodity it dealt
in had been banished from the con-

gomery if l just knew who to get 1t
from" remarked one Dawson1an who
had failed to receive one of the at
tractive price lists sent out by the
enterprising firms of that city.
Then thus spoke the stranger:
Friend and Countrymen: 1t so
happens that l will journey to the
Alabama city this very day, and will
return to this good place the night
after this. | will gladly undertake
any commission with which | may be
entrusted.
One man wanted a dollars worth,
and the others, seeing that the friend
trusted the stranger, reached into
their jeans and placed orders ranging
from a half pint to a quart. II the
stranger had returned he would have
brought with him seven dollars worth
of Alabama booze.
But the stranger did not return.
And all of this happened more
than seven days ago.
All of which goes to show that the
prohibition law is working hardshlps
never dreamed of by its most ardent
supporters.

LOCAL oPTION LAW is VALID
Illinois Supreme Court Renders DecI-
sion on New Act Of LeEis-
lature.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. April Z-The su-
preme court today rendered a decision In
the Mcbride case declaring the new local
option law passed last year constitutional.
Upon this decree depended the effects OF
three saloon elections which have been held
under provisions of the present law. The
election resulted in thirty-six counties bar
ring out saloons altogether. while thirty
six other counties turned the liquor dis
pensaries out of all but one or two towns
in the county. AT least 2.5oOcoO people in
Illinois who havc lived in prohibition dis
tricts would perhaps be put back into sa-
loon territory IL the supreme court de-
ciared that law unconstitutional.
The most important Of the assaults on
the law was the claim that the people out
side OF township could not vote the sa-
looms out Of a village or city lying wholly
within that township.
The court is unanimous In its decision.
Every point on which the law was attacked
is pronounced valid by the court The
court also holds that the United States
stamp is prlma facie evidence that the man
is engaged in the sale OF liquor; that in
case of elections without notice. for which
it provides. such. elections, II held, would
be invalid, but that this does not invali-
date the act itself.
The court holds that the legislature may
create districts like a county or township
and that II the voters in the district shall
decide that intoxicating liquors shall not be
sold in the district. then a village or city
in this district created cannot permit the
sale Of liquors. The sale Of liquor for me-
dicinal purposes by druggists is never re-
garded as the saloon business, says the
