definitely denied the poem, but many instances
could (be) given OF poets forgetting what they
wrote in their earlier years. When "DoIorida' was
written Mr.. Swinburne had not quite settled down
his contemplative years of the Putney-hil sec
tion of his fe he still went about a great deal
and like most poets he found 81 hard TO refuse
a line or two to the book or album of a friend

COULDN'T FIND NEAR
BEER IN SAVANNAH
Governors Man Threatens
10 Make Gases.

Savannah, Ca, Sept. 29.-"I don't
believe there is any such thing as
near beer, but whether there is or not
| will be back in Savannah when the
grand jury meets and those who dc
not pay up will be convicted of some
thing" ~-
With this parting shot, R. A. Ewing,
who came to Savannah for the purpose
of rounding up the near beer dealers
who had not paid the state tax of 5000
left for Macon, where he will try tc
collect the tax there.
Ewing admitted that he was disap-
pointed in the showing he had made
here. Out of twenty-five to which his
list was finally sifted down, he says
he expected to collect from at least
seventeen without trouble. AS it is
the ordinary's books show, and Ewing
admits, he has collected but six.
Ewing says he is leaving Sayan-
nah man in charge of the task of col
lecting evidence against the near beef
people. He refuses to divulge the
name of the man he has engaged fol
this purpose, saying he prefers hin
to do the work secretly.
Mr.. Ewing says, however, he will
show the Savannah dealers in neal
beer that he was not bluffing, but will
be back when the grand jury meets
in October to present the evidence he.
has against them. He says he has
evidence, having bought beer in every.
place in the city which he charges
with not having paid the license.
Ewing plumes himself on having
collected something, and says that the
state is better off by 81 200 on account
of his visit to Savannah. He gets $40
or per cent, out of every license
taken out, and therefore realized $50
from his several days stay here. He
would have made quite a killing if he
had collected the tax from everyone
he charged with being a delinquent.
The .aelinquents, or at least those
charged by Ewing with being such,
were rather disappointing. He says
they met him pleasantly when he
made his first call on them and prom
ised to come across promptly and
make a visit to the ordinary's Office
with 5000, a feature of their next days
program. When they did not show up
he visited them again and met with
one excuse and another
The next thing he knew he was be-
ing called for by attorneys, engaged
by the near beer dealers, to talk the
thing over. Ewing says there was
nothing in it for him to talk to the
lawyers, and he did not pay any at
tention to them. He does not seem to
think he gets an even break when
he goes up against the legal lights
and would have nothing of it. The
outcome of the case will be awaited
with a great deal of interest.

DOCTOR is FINED FOR
THE SALE OF BAYRUM
Townsville Has An AL.
lodged Tiger Case
Especial to Times-Recorder. ]

Ia
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. pa new phase
of the state prohibition law has devel-
oped in case at ThomasviIle carried
to the supreme court and which bids
fair to reach the state court of APP
peals. The case is the city of Thorn
asville against DR., NJ T. Pike. a prom
inent druggist, who was fined $500
for having in his store, for the alleged
purpose of illegal sale, an intoxicat-
ing liquor called bay rum.
1t is claimed by officers, who raid
ed the place, that they found seventy
one half pints and six pints of the
concoction on hand, which was to be
sold at so cents a pint or % cents for
a half pint.
This drink, it is stated, contained a
large per cent of alcohol and just
enough of the essence of bay rum to
kill the alcoholic smell In many
cases the odor of bay rum was not
perceptible; in fact, it is alleged, that
it was alcohol put in bay rum bottles
The trial of DR.. Pike was the first
of three cases made under city ordi-
fiance which prohibits the keeping OF
liquor for illegal sale. The other
druggists have been made defendants
in similar cases. The bay rum
phase, it appears, has developed al
Brunswick, valdosta and Moultrie
where cases, it is claimed. are soon
to be made.
The central figure in the prosecu-
ton of the Townsville case is Judge
S. A. Roddenbery, city attorney, who
it will be recalled, was one of tht
leaders of South Georgia in the late
state prohibition fight.

AMERICUS MAN FINDS A
FORTUNE IN WALNUT TREE
He Realized Its Value and fastened
To Get 1t.

Mr.. H. w. Smithwick, the gunsmith,
has at his store on Cotton avenue a
number of huge slabs of walnut, all
of large size and remarkably fine
grain, which is worth in the aggregate
several hundred dollars The tree
from which the lumber was sawed
grew near the sidewalk in front of the
old R. c. Black property here. When
the city's street force was about to
cut down the sidewalk there to level
it, Mr. Smithwick volunteered to do
the work, free of cost, if the tree was
given him, and thus secured, gratis,
a magnificent timber tree four feet
in thickness and worth perhaps $500
or $500 The walnut will be worked
up into expensive gun stocks and fine
furniture
