ON SHOOTING NEGRO

Atlanta, Aug. 7.-Major F. L. Pal
mer, U. s. A, retired, inspector gen
elal, national guard of Georgia, has
completed his investigation of the
shooting of an innocent negro at Rex,
Ca, by some unknown cavalrymen on
board a special rain bearing volun-
teer troops from the encampment at
Camp Taft \sevSral weeks ago. He
will not disclose the result of his in
yestigationy but is now preparing a
report of the matter for the consider
alton of Governor Smith, at whose
instance the investigation was made.
The inspector general visited Sa-
vannah, Ludwici, Guyton and McIn.
tosh, from all of which cities cavalry
men on board the special train came.
If the investigation has resulted in
the discovery of the soldier or soldiers
guilty of the shooting. it is practically
certain that the governor will order
a courtmartial for their trial.

MEETING YESTERDAY.
Number Of Routine Matters Were
Disposed ef--Road Will Soon Be
Extended From kingsland
to- Wayeross.

The stockholders of. the st. Mary's
and Kingsland railroad held special
meeting in the parlors of the Ogle-
thorpe hotel in this city yesterday
morning, at which number of rou-
tine matters were taken up.
Those present at the meeting were:
l.. Jonnson, of ~. Mary's president
and general manager; George r. You.
mans, of Waycross, treasurer; Leon
A Wilson, of Waycross, secretary;

pany for the past few weeks, was also
present.
The st. Mary's and Kingsland rail
road now extends from st. Marys, the
Camden county seaport, to Kingsland,
where it makes connection with the
Seaboard Air Line This much of the
road has been under operation for
some time and a regular schedule is
now maintained, the little road max,
, ing connections with all the Seaboard
passenger trains.

ORDINARY BET NOT
CONSIDERED 4
CRIME
JUSTICE GAYNoR, OF NEW YORK,
DEFINES WHAT THE LAW CON
SiDERS 0AM5LlNG--AN INTER.
ESTiNG DECISION. >e -
-

New York, Aug. 7.-The making Of
Of an ordinary bet as distinguished
from the practice of betting on all
lcomers was declared by Justice Gay
nor, of the supreme court, today to
| be not crime. The case was that
against George Sterling who was ac-
cused CT violating the anti gambling
laws by betting basket ball on the
result of golf game in Nassau coun-
lty, Long Island.
Justice Gaynor dismissed the case
and ruled as follows:
THE difference between ordinary
betting and gambling is too plain to
Irequire words. An ordinary bet is not
a crime, whether made in your parlor
or en- the golf links or on the race
track, nor is the making of note or
memorandum thereof; but if you hold
yourself out to bet and bet on all
comers, or generally, or become a gen
eral recorder Of such bets, or of bets
between others, your are guilty of a
crime"
Ordinary betting was never made
a crime in tIis state said Justice
Gaynor "TAe law has never descend
ed to thrusting it's nose into the per-
sonal conduct of men and women to
that extent, and those who try to
make it appear that it has, only tend
to create a disrespect for the law. No
law can be enforced except by public
opinion, and wise legislatures never
! pass a law that lacks public opinion
! in it's favor. Such laws are dead let
! ters except as they are stirred up
, from time to time by the few among
Jus who delight in meddling with the
conduct of others or to levy black
mail The community sheds them as
/ the snake does it's skin.
All that the legislature did in re-
spect to the gambling laws was to
make them apply inside of the race
track inclosure as we'll as outside. AS
to the writing of a memorandum of
a bet on card by a relator. ii is
enough to say that section 351 of the
penal code is confined in plain terms
to the case CT persons engaged in the
recording or registering the bets of
all corners as practice or business.
That is common gambling or aiding
and abetting common gambling,
which the law does not tolerate"

KEEP RECORD OF
THE FREIGHT
BILLS
MANY TURNS IN THE FIGHT NOW
BEING MADE BY SHIPPERS
"a AND RAILROADS.
Merchants Should All Keep a Careful
Record Of Freight 8iIls--Effect
of Judge Pardee's Superce-
deas in the Matter.

Everyone who eats bread and meat,
3Rd particularly everyone who sells
Them, is watching with unabated in
terest the shifting stages CT Georgia's
freight rate fight.
Whether or not the interstate. COM
merce commission will finally declare
the advance in rates unreasonable is
of course the merchants and the pub
les supreme concern. For 1t Is with
the commission after all that the prac
teal disposition of the case rests. In
the meantime, judicial proceedings are
claiming wide attention The latest
status upon which they have placed
ihe case is this
The injunction granted last Satur-
day by Judge Speer against an inaug-
uration of the increased rates in Geor-
gia has been set aside by q superce-
deas and appeal granted Wednesday
by Judge Pardee. This means that
the advanced rates will go into effect,
and so far as present information
extends, that they viii remain in ef-
feet until their reasonableness can be
passed on by the interstate commerce
commission or until the circuit court
Iof appeals passes upon the equity OF
Judge Speer's injunction.
The complaint of the merchants has
already been filed with the commits
sion and will, 1t Is expected, be heard
by that body about the middle Of
September.
The appeal of the railroads frouf
Judge Speer's injunction will be ARK
gued before the circuit court of ap-
peals when it convenes in Atlanta on
the first Monday in October.
Should this court hold that the in
junction granted by Judge Speer Is
proper. then the roads will have to
withdraw the advance until the com
mission renders IT'S decision. Should
| the commission declare the increase
unreasonable, however, before the
court makes a decision one way or
| the other, then CT course the old rates
would be restored at once and the
litigation void cease to be of practi-
cal interest or value.
Judge Pardee's supercedeas was
granted at Asheyllle, N. C. The com
plainants had received no notice that
such an order would be asked Of tho
court and were hence given no oDpor-
tunlty of being heard on the matter.
Judge Pardees order requires the
roads to give bond for q reimburse
ment of the shippers should the rates
be eventually declared unreasonable.
Nor are the roads required to give out.
side security. Each road Is allowed
TO stand as security for the other.
The supercedeas has no effect upon
the underlying justice of the mer-
chants claims nor any dlminution of
Ethelr hopes for ultimate victory. 1t
simply allows the roads to put the
iadyance into effect until the commits
sion declares the advance to be un-
warranted. Under the order of Judge
lSpeer the roads would not have been
allowed to put the advance into effect
until the commission had declared it
warranted

COUNCIL WILL
STILL NAME
CLERK
BILL MAKING CHANGE MET IT'S
DEATH IN THE COMMITTEE
~ ROOM YESTERDAY.
The Clerk of Council viii Not Be
Elected by the People, But by
Council, as Has Been the
Case for Years.

Phe bill introduced in the legisla-
ture a few weeks ago, providing that
the clerk of the mayor and council of
the city of Brunswick be elected by
the people instead of by council, as at
present, died natural death in the
committee room and will not be heard
from any mere during the present
session of the legislature.
News that the committee had killed
the bill was received in the city yes
terday morning. When the measure
came up il was, like ali other bills,
referred to a special committee. This
committee took. up the matter, and
decided that it should not be passed.
AS is we'll known, there was a hard
fight over this bill. A long petition,
signed by a large number of citizens,
both favoring and against the meas
ure, were prepared ana sent up to
Atlanta, and these petitions were
probably before the%committee. City
council went on gecord as opposing
the measure, an9 when it was first
learned tt iat spfh a measure would
be introduced council took acticn
and passed a strong set of resolu-
tons against the proposed change.
'NSais resolution was also forwarded
~ Atlanta, and it is believed that it
AMad much to do with the action of the
Committee in defeating the bill
There are several other local bills
of intereSt pending in the legislature
and a number of them will probably
be acted on before the adjournment of
the solons, while others will have to
wait until the next session. However
this bill was about the most impor-
tant to the people of Brunswick, and
the result has been awaited with much
interest.
