THEY GAMBLED AND FOUGHT
MARSHAL OF LEARY AND SHER-
IFF OF WILCOX COUNTY.
Had Lively MiX-Up in a Room of
an Albany Hotel While Playing
Poker. Somebody Shot.

An Albany special says a sensa-
tional affair at the ST. Nicholas hotel,
in that city, shortly before midnight
resulted in the arrest of L. H. Glenn
of Abbeville, sheriff of Wilcox coun-
ty, and G. B. McDuffey, marshal of
Leary.
There are four warrants against
sheriff Glenn, charging assault and
battery, carrying concealed weapons.
assault with intent to murder and
gambling. Marshal McDuffey is
charged with gambling Warrants
charging both men with gambling
were sworn out by Officer R. T. Ra-
ley, who made the arrests.
This affair led up to other arrests
for gambling, sworn out by Assist
ant Chief of Police j. w. Kemp, and
the following were arrested: A. S.
McLendon of Cordele; w. R. Beaz-
ley, formerly of Albany, but now of
Jacksonville; D. B. Motley and Char
ley Daniel of Albany.
Concerning the affair between
Glenn and McDuffey it is stated that
the two men were playing poker in
Glenn's room in the hotel. Glenn
claims that McDuffey, losing rapidly,
grabbed up the Jack pot and
started off with the money. This
precipitated lively fight, in which
McDuffey claims he was shot at by
Glenn. He shows a slight wound in
one ear, which he claims was the re-
suit of the bullet grazing that mem
Der. Glenn claims that he did not
shoot, but that he struck McDuffey
with his pistol when it was dis
charged.
That the fight in Glenn's room
was fierce and sanguinary combat
was proven by the blood that was
much in evidence about the room af-
ter the affray was ended

leging opposition to which one of the
main counts in the indictments of
former Governor Smith against the
chairman of the Georgia railroad
commission. 1t was this which led
Commissioner Warner HILL who
agreed with the chairman as to the
weakness of the case, to vote for the
railroad commission intervening in
the case, so that if the interstate
commerce commission did, by any
possible chance, concede the claim
of the petitioners, the small dealers
of the state might receive some
measure of protection.
McLendOn's Interference.
Chairman McLendon, on the other
hand, held that it would be unwise
and a qualification of the railroad
commission to become a party to a
case which was grounded on such a
basis of selfishness. While he was
unwilling to give the Morgan con-
Germ any information within the pur-
view of the Georgia commission that
they might desire he believed that it
were necessary to protect the small
dealers, the Georgia commission
should bring an entirely distinct case
of it's own.
AS the facts stand the various At
lanta cases become more and more
widely known, the real purpose of
the Atlanta wholesale merchants can
not fail to escape the attention of the
people at large. That purpose, re-
duced to its last analysis and viewed
in the light of all the developments,
is purely and simply nothing more
than this: To take toll for the job
bling interests of Atlanta on every
pound of freight that is shipped into
! Georgia.

PUT CoCA-COLA ON DOPE LIST.
Representative Moss Has Bill to Reg
ulate 1t Like PoisOns.

ulate 1t Like POisOns.
A blow aimed at coca-cola was de-
livered in the Georgia house of. rep
resentatives by Mr.. Moss of Cobb
when he introduced bill chasing
the drink as a poisonous drug.
Not only does Mr.. Moss seek to
put the drink in this class, but he
wants it's sale governed by the laws
now applicable to the sale of NOR
phine, cocaine, laudanum or other
poisonous drugs.
A mistake in spelling, however,
will make it necessary for Mr.. Moss
to amend it. He says he will per-
feet his bill in this way The bill
designates the drink as cocoa" cola,
whereas it is spelled coca" cola.
Here is the body of the bill:
THAT the chemical mixture or
compound known as cocoa cola and
sold as such shall be classed as a
poisonous drug, and its sale and dis
tribution shall be governed by the
laws now applicable and that shall
hereafter be applicable to the sale
and distribution or sale or distribu-
ton or dispensing of laudanum, NOR
phine, cocaine and other like pois-
OnOus drugs, and that all penalties
and restrictions governing the dis
pensing, sale, etc, of such drugs
shall govern the sale, dispensing and
distribution of said cocoa cola"

MATRIMONIAL BILLS LOST.
One Required Physical Examination
of BridegrOOms.

One required PhySlCaI examination
of BridegrOOms.
A bill requiring prospective bride
grooms to submit to medical exam
ination before marrying was dis
cussed at length in the state senate,
and finally tabled at the request of
it's author, Senator Mathews, of FIT
Valley.
1t was urged by some of the solons
that such a measure would make
runaway marriages practically i'm
possible in Georgia, and thus rob the
state of much romance. Others took
a more coldly scientific view of the
subject, and declared that a law of
this kind would safeguard the health
and add much to the physical per-
lection of the human race in this
particular commonwealth.
Immediately after this bill was Ia
bled the senate was again plunged
into matrimonial matters by a bill
offered by Senators King, Gordy and
Calhoun making marriage license
fees 50 throughout the state. There
is a great need of uniformity in this
respect, urged the authors. AS the
situation now stands a man might
be required to pay one price for his
nuptial certificate in one county and
a higher or lower price in another.
The bill, however, was lost.

SENT BOILED EGG.
Wanted an Official Legal Opinion as
TO It's Soundness.

A man living away out in South
Dakota has sent to the department
of justice at Washington one boiled
egg, upon the status of which he
wishes an authoritative legal opinion.
The man says he believes the egg
is rotten, and wants to make a COM
plant against the restaurant that
served it. If the man had made his
kick to the waiter the probabilities
are that he would have been given
back his nickel, and that would have
saved the Washington lawyers bit
! of picayunish bother.

The Pleasure of Eating

is pleasure that no one should be
denied. Life, energy, brain power,
all depend on what is eaten. One
must eat and the food must assimi-
late or there's decline. Keep your
digestion perfect and you can enjoy
eating.
If you ever have the least distress
after eating it denotes imperfect di-
gestion, and remedy is needed at
once. The best remedy is PONDER
TER'S TONIC. Results are PROMPT
from this remedy because it restores
right conditions. 1t overcomes fer
mentatiOn in the stomach. and

EVELYN'S "WIFELY' DEVOTION.
Goes to the Extent of Getting What
She Can Out of the ThaMs.


Reading between the lines of her
testimony and statement to the re-
porters it seems that Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw looked upon the case
of her husband from a purely per-
sonal and financial point of view.
II she had been given what money
she demanded by the Thaw family
she would have eXerted herself to
have the young man released from
custody. Being denied the money
she revenged herself by giving testi-
mony calculated to prolong or make
permanent his Incarceration as a
lunatic. Her "wifely Devotion went
just to the extent Of getting what
she could out of it, or making her
claws felt if she failed to get any
thing.

ATLANTA.-It has just been de-
veloped that the Atlanta Freight Blu
reau failed to get one of the chief
advantages they went after from the
interstate commerce commission in
the recent grain decision, which has
been so widely heralded by the press
here as an Atlanta victory. This was
a differential rate for carload lots.
This affords a particularly inter-
esting side-light upon the selfishness
of Atlanta jobbers and their eager
desire to gain advantage for them
selves at the expense of the little
dealer in small towns in view of the
fact that a carload rate was one of
the things that the Beck & Gregg
Company and the Atlanta wholesale
grocers asked for in the we'll known
port rate" case, which has lately
created so much disturbance in Geor-
gia.
Carload rates are really the chief
contention for which Atlanta whole
salers have fought in all their efforts
to reduce freights. If they secure
these they feel that they can easily
control the entire southeastern ter
ritOry, and that they will have an
enormous advantage over whole
salers in smaller towns, whose bust
ness does not warrant the handling
of such large quantities.
In other words, they believe that
if they can get a carload rate from
Atlanta cheaper than the less than
carload rate they will be able to
drive out of business the vast ma
jority of jobbers in Macon, Athens,
Rome, Griffin and other points, and
force the retailers of the whole state
to buy directly from them.
Commission Saw Scheme.
The injustice of such a contention
was clearly apparent to the inter
state commerce commission, which
held that where carriers have in
effect uniform rate per hundred
pounds for any quantity, which rate
applies uniformly to all, differ.
entail rate applied to carload lots
from that applied to less than car.
loads will not be ordered, especially
when such differential will tend tt
increase the rate on less than car
loads, and further to cut off consum
ers and small dealers from purchas
ing at distant markets in less thar
carload lots"
1t is also interesting to note tina
the carload rate was one of the de
mands made by the Morgan Grain
Company in its case to prevent tn,
increase of rates from the west, al

ECONOMIC CLUB BANQUET
Sentence Imposed Upon the Three
Labor Leaders Discussed by
Warren E. Stone.

New York. Jan. 1S--Organized labor
and its return TO efficient democracy
was the subject of the after-dinner dis
cussion at the banquet of the Economic
club in this city tonight. Among the
speakers were President Harry A. Car
field. of Williams college; J. Keir
Hardie VI. p. Charles f. Littleield.
former congressman from Maine, and
Warren L. Stone. of Cleveland.
Mr.. Stone. in discussing the sentence
imposed upon Samuel Gompers and
other labor leaders, said:
1T clearly shows what can happen
when a Judge with unlimited power in
his hands and who is carried away by
the important necessity Of showing IL.
is called upon to interpret the law and
incidentally furnish the strongest proof
that federal judges should not be APP
pointed for life.
IF his interprets ton of the rights
guaranteed the workingman under our
constitution is correct, then the work
ingmen of America are on a parity
with the Russian serf for they have
neither free press nor free speech. such
decisions engender class hatred; under
mine the faith of the people IN the
constitution and have tendency to
destroy the confidence of the lsbOTing
classes in the impartislity Of our
courts"
Keir Hardie spoke on the political
aspects Of the problem and the part
that labor must take in the enactment
of laws.
