lI,a,,ar had been warned that by per-

sronId subject himself to a jail SEN
+once for contempt.
More than one sensation developed
- The meeting of the committee.
a. FIRST came when Mr.. Walker
mod to writing the letter, and the
oooond followed close when he frank
acknowledged that he had no basis
for the charges it contained.
The third, and perhaps the great
,z+ sensation of them all, was Mr.
Walkers statement that he had writ
+or the letter in answer to rogue /
" Tom Watson to furnish him with
Communion" to be used against the
Union City bunch" He explained
that he did not mean to charge M.
barron with drong-doing, but simply
meat to suggest to Mr.. Watson that
his Office should be investigated.
Mr. Walker was visibly uneasy
while on the witness stand, and an
swered the questions put to him with
show of greal reluctance, even when
warned that Jail sentence might
follow his refusal to do so.
He was represented before the
committee by Senator Womble of
Meriwether, who advised him not to
answer the questions until the com
mittee went into executive session,
and then they put the Jail sentence
alternative squarely before him.
Senator Womble then advised his
client to give the committee all the
information he had bearing upon the
Barron charges.
The committee will report to the
house that there is nothing to the
charges against Mr.. Barron.-Atlanta

LEFT OFF WORD "NEAR."
Atlanta Near-Beer Dealer Was Fined
For His Carelessness.

It's always the letter of the law
and not the spirit that counts when
it comes to enforcing the laws that
are on the statute books. If a man
is clever enough he can violate the
spirit of the law in a thousand WAYS.
and the law cannot touch him unless
he actually violates it technically,
but just let him once innocently over
step the letter, and the law is on
him like a ton of brick.
People who occasionally have a
thirst and quench it in Atlanta are
highly amused at a recent fine i'm
posed upon a near-beer dealer named
Pete Mitchell. 1t seems the man put
up sign which had the word beer.
on it, and didn't have the word
near. Also he had some signs
which simply siad "Schlitz" and
"Pabst" He was fined S. for his
carelessness. Oh, you joke!

A GAS LIGHT FLAME
From An Ordinary Kerosen
Oil Lamp

One OF the most useful little inven
tons that has come before the public
for many day is simple little at
tachment TO the common wick for q
common kerosene oil lamp, by which
the oil is generated into gas and makes
flame equal to the best gas jet that
has ever been produced.
The great beauty of this invention,
which is called Gas-O Lamp Wick, is
the fact that there is no smoke, no
charred wick, no disagreeable odor and
one of the best of lights that is possible
to make.
The lamp can be turned down so
that mere streak of light is left and
burned all night and there is no foul
odor in the room from it. OF all the
inventions that we have seen for long
time, this one is the best and most
practical in the family where kerosene
lamps are used. Mr.. George A. Horn
Of Newark, N. Y, is the patentee and
ne certainly has thought out fine
hing. Sold by Lamb Bros grocers.

VIC. T..U. Notes

Through "a recent issue of the saloon
keepers organ of Michigan, Truth pub
iished at Detroit, is quoted bitter COM
plant from a Detroit lieutenant OF
police that liquor should have been
sold To sixteen year old Anton Lechner
who was brought into policeheadquaters
on Monday afternoon raging i'm drunken
delirium. And the same police officer
further informed the editor of Truth or
a reporter of that paper that he had
counted dozen children going into a
single saloon for beer while standing on
a corner in the north west portion of
Detroit. What fierce denial would be
made to this change if it had come from
local option sources. That sixteen
year old boy had been permitted to buy
liquor in the saloons of Detroit until he
was raving with agony and delirium
over its effects, and that one police Of
licer in the course of a few minutes saw
dozen children going into a saloon to
mingle with its occupants and to make
purchases no charge has ever been made
against saloons of Michigan, and no
more effective appeal has ever been
made against the entire brutal and dis
grace full saloon system then is contained
in this statement made by the Michigan
saloon keepers newspaper organ, Not
hundred other charges against the
saloons of Michigan which Truth has
promtly sought TO deny have been so
serious or so worthy of attention from
the entire state as this charge which
Truth fully presents and admits.
