TRAGIC DEATH OF ]. E. JAY
TOP OF HEAD OF FORMER CITI-
ZEN BLOWN OFF BY A SHOT
GUN IN HIS OWN HANDS.

News was received in Dawson Fri
day afternoon that Mr.. ]. E. jaw.
VINO for many years, was a prominent
and highly esteemed citizen of Ter
rell county, but who for the past few
years had made his home near AL
bany, was dead, and that his corpse
would be brought to Dawson on the
Seaboard train Saturday morning for
burial.
The remains were taken from the
depot to the Baptist church, where
funeral services conducted by Rev.
N. b. O'Kelley We're held at $3.50
O'Clock, after which the interment
occurred in. Cedar nill cemetery.
Mr.. Jay was killed early Friday
morning by the discharge of a shot
gun, whether accidental or with
suicidal intent is not positively
known. Mr.. Joe L. Jay, a son of the
deceased, says that after breakfast
he heard the report of a gun, and
went outside to ask his father what
he was shooting at The report did
not come from the outside. however
as the son thought, and investigation
disclosed the dead body of his father
lying on the floor in the front room.
single barrel shotgun, which his
rather had traded for the day before.
was lying on the floor beside him.
Nearly the entire top of his head
was shot off.
Members of the family say that
they cannot believe that Mr.. Jay shot
himself Intentionally. He left no
message of any kind, and had given
no intimation that he contemplated
taking his own life. The fact, how
ever, that the deceased has had much
sorrow and trouble of late leads 9TH
ers to believe that his death was not
accidental, but due to suicide. His
wife died under sad circumstances
last December, and only recently his
| brother, j. l.. Jay, of Sasser, died
suddenly.
The deceased was So years of age,
and leaves nine children living as
follows: Mrs. j. w. Goss of Albany,
Mrs. j. A. Cochran of PARROT, Mrs.
r. H. Smith of Atlanta, Mrs. John
White of Atlanta, j. l.. Jay, Sam Jay
and Charles Jay of Albany; o. B..
Jay and Frank Jay of Jacksonville.
The family have the sympathy of
many friends in their affection.

Bowling Alley Ordinance.

He Doesn't Want You to Amend the
Bowling Alley Ordinance.
Editor of The News: l have been
informed that application will be
made to the city council at it's next
meeting to amend the ordinance
passed by that body prohibiting
minors from playing what is called
the "boX ball" game so as to let
those between the ages of fifteen and
twenty-one play at said game again.
The city council ought to stand firm,
and not go back on it's recent actions
in the matter. Let the ordinance re-
main at it is. 1t is a good law, and
ought not to be altered in the least.
If it is changed one minor will have
as much right to play as another
The law doesn't recognize any half
way ground as to minors. The par
ents of minors will act very unwise
and ere long will regret it should
they give their consent to permit
their boys to play at a game which
may induce them to bet on it, and
at times improper language may be
INDUCED in, which will have a ten
dency to lead them astray morally.
The surroundings at present are
a great annoyance and disturbance,
and to let the minors enter the game
again will add doubly to the noise
and fuss now made, which is next to
a nuisance, and increase the dissat-
isfaction existing among those living
in the locality where the game is car
ried on. These people have been
and are still annoyed day and night
by the operation of said box ball
1t is the bOunden duty of the city
council to protect these citizens from
being mOlested, as they are, in their
rest at night, be they ever so hum
Bile. The present owners, when they
bought the box ball alley, knew what
restrictions it was operated under
Then why should the council repeal
the present ordinance for the benefit
of them alone? AS we said, let
the law stand as it is, for the good
of the boys of the town. The opera
tors of the game can sleep late of
mornings to regain lost sleep, but
the working class have to be up and
doing at an early hour.
Let equal rights be given to all
and special privileges to none. Re-
spectfully, w. K.

LIVING Expenses in India.

The increased cost of living in India
generally and in Calcutta particular
ly, writes our correspondent is Sc
verely felt not only by Europeans
but also by Indians. House rent in
recent years has trebled and even
quadrupled.
Ten years ago a family of half a
dozen persons could live in fair COM
fort for 5000 year, excluding extras.
With nothing less than 5000 can one
live in the same way now This is
recognized by the government, and the
salaries of subordinate officials have
been revised.
Domestic servants wages have in.
creased enormously. A good cook
cannot be had for less than $40 a
year, whereas half that sum was CON
sidered sufficient ten yeasr ago.-Lon-
don Daily Mail.
