In connection with the comment on
the probability of the western League
being dropped from the A class, atten-
ton has been called to the big salaries
paid in the Tip O'Neill circuit. The
pay rolls are indeed of large dimen-
paying out as much money to players
| as certain teams in the American AS
ISOLATION and Eastern League. In view
of the high class ball to which the
would be a mighty howl If Glass B
| ball was foisted on them. 1t seems that
| there is an old agreement in force
whereby the Western League is to re-
| main in the A class regardless of pop
| ulation.
| Buck Weaver the Denver backstop,
| has announced that this is his last year
in ball. Buck has had a hard time with

MRS. ELIZABETH SHARP
y CLAIMED BY DEATH

Mrs. Elizabeth Sharp, one of the most
beloved women in Atlanta, died suddenly
lat o'clock Saturday morning at her
home, 457 Piedmont avenue. Though she
had been complaining for a week or more
and was under doctors care. she was
still able to be about the house and was
apparently all right when she retired Fri
day night. Her daughters discovered her
breathing hard early Saturday morning,
and before the physician could be sum-
moned she had expired.
Mrs. Sharp was ~ years of age, and
had been for years a consistent member
of St. Lukes Episcopal church. She is
survived by one son, William Sharp, con-
nected with the Atlanta Advertising Ser
vice, and two daughters, Misses Susie and
Eula Sharp.
The funeral will be held Sunday after
noon at the residence. Rev. c. B. Wilmer,
of st. Lukes church, officiating. The
burial will be in West View.
The following gentlemen are selected to
act as pallbearers: Otto Jordan, Ed Love-

Heisman and H. NJ. Lamar.

NEAR-BEER
LAW STANDS MISTAKEN

Inviolate and in full rigor will here
after stand the near-beer ordinance
draughted by the city council of She'll
man, Ga, prohibiting the sale of any
nigh-beverage containing more than a
quarter of 1 per cent of alcohol-elimi-
mating, in fact, everything beyond moxie.
Unshaken it will be, despite the injunc-
ton that was lodged against 1t, because
the supreme court applies an aged rule
of lazy to the matter and the injunction
don't come up to measure. That old rule
of law, says the high court, is that a
court of equity can't interfere with the
enforcement of criminal laws. The supe-'
rior court of the Pataula circuit granted
the injunction which the supreme court
w. T. Saxon brought the suit for in
junction to stay the ordinance in ques
ton, adopted by the mayor and city coun-
Gil of Shellman. Saxon won out below but
loses now. On the quarter of 1 per cent
provision, or on the ordinance as a whole
or on Saxon's claim that the ordinary
had accepted his license money and legal
lied the sale, the supreme court says
naught.

ROCHELLE TO FIGHT
FOR COUNTY COURT HOUSE

CORDELE, Ca, Feb. 1S.-It has been
learned here from reliable sources that
the town of Rochelle, Is miles east of
this city, will again take up the fight
with a view to securing the court house

hard-fought contest IL years, ago. Ro-
chelle lost and the court house remained
in Abbeville. but renewed vigor has been
manifesting itself in behalf of Rochelle
and the contests;will be renewed. 1t is
urged in favor of the, latter town that it
is located near the, center of the county,
while Abbeville is situated on the &C.
mulgee on the extreme eastern portion.
1t is understood that several thousand
dollars havesBeen raised for the pur-
pose of erecting court house. at Ro-
chelle in the event it wins the county
site, the proposition on the part of Ro-
chel1e' being to erect a court house and
donate the building and site to the coun-
ty without cost to the tax payers in the
rural sections OF the county.
